OK...I'm being picky......but I think the enamelled forks let it down a bit....they were probably so rough he didn't have an option.....but i'd prefer then polished......otherwise a fabulous job, would love to give it a thrash on a track day

Different track - some years ago there was a Honda 500/4 lump in a slimline (I think) 'bed, made to look like a 60's Italian racer - was a beaut and got many an old fart first whistful and then really pissed off when they worked out what it was - sounded real nice through four meggas too.

Benelli - that was the name

if it makes you feel a bit less guilty about liking it, you should know that the engine was designed at triumph!

honestly- there's a prototype called a quadrant, or quad something and the engine is identical.

as if unreliable bikes weren't enough to sink the british industry, we give them a fantastic engine with which they can bankrupt us!
