I can't get to their site at the moment and i'm quite curious after seeing images of the TNT.

**Rick Lee** · 08-09-07, 01:48 PM

I know something about them...I would like one but in a different color than that!

**Tricky Mike** · 08-09-07, 02:01 PM

hmmm... looks cool...
This is the only Benelli I know anything about:

One of the magnesium castings on there looks like poo, but that tubular swingarm is hot...

I rode one of these a few times

**schleppy** · 08-09-07, 02:55 PM

I've been trying to find info as well (not that I can afford one, just curiosity).

That thing is positively evil, and I would get that color in a heartbeat...

I dunno....they look a bit too futuristic to me.

**Stoneman** · 08-09-07, 08:09 PM

Back in the mid-70's there were a coupla kids in my neighborhood that had Benelli enduros...

Cool looking bikes, but heavy, no? All of them are as heavy as my hulking 95 zx7. Gotta say the cafe racer model is pretty sick. Not too keen on the full fairing model though.

**Rummy** · 08-09-07, 10:25 PM

yeah the website shows them as being a bit heavy and expensive... ah well

**nefarious** · 08-09-07, 11:27 PM

Don't think the cafe racer is available here. Eastern cycle ducati where i got my bike deals them. Give Randy a call.

**TLRMan** · 08-10-07, 03:05 PM

They got them at Eastern Cycle Ducati in Beverly..
I'm really not impressed with it.

Benelli's '08 (maybe) 450 MX'er is pretty sexxxy too. i've heard they have 'wads of Chinese cash behind them' now to help with reliablity and spare parts but don't know any details. pics of the dirty below.. .

Chain's on the wrong side

National Powersports, on Rte 106 in Pembroke, recently became a dealer for Bennelli.
The owner, Nate, will be one of the instructors at the upcoming LAPS trackday on August 29.

Someone around here has one - I saw the gold cafe racer version parked by the cambridge side galleria (a few weeks ago). To me, the air box thingys that sort of wrap around the forks are ugly. Tone those down and the bike is pretty sweet.

I believe a Benelli was featured in a Bike or PB shoot out a couple issues ago. If I remember, the bike broke down before they could test it.

Also, who names a bike "cafe racer." I saw that on the bike and couldn't believe it was the name for the line of bikes. Just in case you are too stupid to catch on to the style of bike.
