They certainly appreciated a sound engine design with the 500 Quatro from about '75 on to the 654.

They also did this wee screamer with some bizzare (for the time) styling..

That's not Kerry - he's definitely selling them, and the reason he had only one in stock when the thread was started is that he'd sold all the others before he'd had a chance to put them on display!

I tell you what - the Benelli is kinda ugly, but HEAPS better in the flesh, so to speak, and loaded with enough trick bits to make it very sexy and desirable. Also very tiny for an 1130cc machine - it'd be a hoot as a commuter machine!
I'd buy one, but it'd screw me financially, as it'd be instant divorce fer sher.
