Benelli ?

Post by daveuprite »

Just spotted this, which is new to me:

Like a kind of cheap and cheerful version of Ducati's Scrambler perhaps? Might be the kind of thing that would appeal to some on this forum ?

Today, the company is fully owned by Qianjiang Group, and is one of 10 branches of Qianjiang. Benelli is purely designed and manufactured in China since 2005.

It's been out for a couple of years as 17" wheels but the trail was added later with the 19" front.
I've sat on one a couple of times at a dealers as I liked the scrambler/vanvan style but the weight really put me off so didn't bother test riding it.
They also do a custom which again I liked the look of but the unusual footrest position didn't appeal.
Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.
