• Wards Riverside Motorcycles and Scooters A Brief History of the Marque American firm Montomery Wards sold mopeds including AV41, AV78 and AV88 during the 1950s. In the 1960s they rebadged some 125, 175, 250, & 360cc Benelli models as Wards Riverside, along with scooters by Lambretta & Mitsubishi. The 1964 Wards Riverside 'Pigeon' is a rebadged Mitsubishi Silver Pigeon, and the 1961 Bianchi Orsetto scooter was also marketed in the United States as a Riverside. Benelli-based models include: FFA-14017, 14020 and 14023 FFA-61-14016, 14016B, 14019 is a 125cc 2 stroke, probably a Benelli FFA-61-14021A is a Benelli 175cc c1957 Giro Sport FFA-14043, 14047 Benelli Mojave 260cc FFA-61-14017 C Benelli 250cc, not Mojave style. At least one in Australia. FFA-14003 model 450-SS is a Benelli Fireball 49cc twostroke of 40x39mm with a 4 speed gearbox.
FFA-14002 is a stepthrough with large wheels, rather like a Honda C-50. Tue, 17 Oct 2017 thebolt1 at yahoo.com Wards Riverside 125 FFA-61-14016B Serial number 66 How do you release ignition switch from headlight shell? Parts book I have shows what appears to be internal fork springs but this bike has external springs that are only 7' long. That's 2.5' short of any preload. Do not think that is correct. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bud Nolting Kansas City USA Mon May 29 2017 tomzep357 at gmail.com Wards Riverside/Benelli Benelli 125cc I have a Wards Riverside/Benelli that I bought new in 1968.
Motobecane Serial Number Decoder My bike still runs and I take it out at least once a year and run it around the farm. I have noticed that my bike has a different tank and seat configuration then most of the other 125s on the site. The name plate also has SN 76 like other I have seen so that is obviously not the serial.
Can anyone tell me more about this style of 125 or give me an estimated value?

Here is an email I got from an actual employee of GT: If the bike frame was manufactured at the Santa Ana CA facility, the first three or four digits of the serial number should be letters abbreviating the model or size of the frame such as 'XL', 'XXL', CR24, or something like that. The next part of the serial number is eight numeric digits. The first four numbers should be a two digit month followed by a two digit year. The last four digits are the serialization digits 0000 to 9999 depending on what number the frame was of the years production. If the frame was made overseas in Taiwan, it gets more complicated.
If the number starts with a K, the frame was made. That's the only one I remember off the top of my head. There were at least four companies in Taiwan that made the GT lines:,, and included) The first digit would be a letter designating the factory that made the frame. There might also be a second letter digit specifying the factory that assembled the bike, if applicable. The model and year of production was also coded by a letter, so you won't be able to spot a two digit month and two digit year. Before I left, I was writing a specification to standardize all of the serial numbers because GT was starting to send most of its US production to other US fabrication shops. The information might also come in handy for deciphering other makes because the factories in Taiwan make bikes for a lot of different companies.
I am tinkering around with the idea of starting to make my own frames, kind of on a 'one-off' basis. I am also teaching welding at a local community college. By the way, did I tell you that the guy ran GT's in house fabrication for the last ten years (he recently retired) was none other than Gilbert Axt. Do you remember Race, Inc.? That was Gilbert. He also did the original PK Ripper for SE Racing. History, man.
It might be a really cool thing if I can track down Gilbert now and interview him for you. THAT is the kind of stuff that belongs in the BMX Museum! I'll write you when I get a chance. Dan Garcia and here is the updates, thanks to love thegoose! (Michael S) well we get a good bit of gt serials that could be identified by the owner, if they only had the tips that some of us have learned, so i will post what i know, and anyone with more knowledge can add to it.so here we go.

Here is an example to go. On the dropout you have 'M1' followed by '08922198'.this one is simple. M1 stands for 'mach one' that is your model gt. It can also be a 'I' for interceptor and so on. Next on the serial is '0892' this is easy to decode too, 08 means 8th month, which would be august. Then you have '92' next in the lineup, this would be 1992 the last 4 digits, are your build number, this one would be the 2,198th one built. Here is another example.
