    It's called a short wheelbase

    Running into a truck does that.

    Nah, it's more the overall squished looking design than wheel base I think. The 2/3 shots/impressions makes the wheel base look shorter than it actually is. Typical marketing ploy.

    Priobably fine bikes but the design just doesn't appeal to me.

    The Benelli's the only one that I think is ugly. I love the Corsaro and the Brutale goes without saying. I don't think the Monster looks as good as they used to.

    Don't know how you could find the TNT ugly, which is the Corsaro the 900 or the 1200

    I'd be happy with either one of them in my garage.

    The Corsaro is the 1200 and is HORN!
    Theres also the Corsaro Veloce with Termigonis on it, looks great all in black with an awesome sound.

    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    The Ducati and the MV are magnificent!

    Benelli on the other hand.............is it the same company that makes firearms?

    And....what he said!

    Sure, the designs are a little outlandish, and they may not please everyone, but they're still awesome pieces of fine machinery...

    ...and they'll keep you mechanical skills up "to date" as well.

    Generally I think they're nice looking bikes, but the yellow horror AKA the Benelli doesn't appeal to me at all!
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Looks to me that the Italians have already started manufacturing in China.

    I'd have to have mechanical skills to start with... ...mummy, mummy...what's a spark plug? just kidding btw...)

    Bottom line is though: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    A couple of times, I found that I wouldn't like the design on celluloid, but then once I saw the bike "in the flesh", it started to grow on me...
