Worried, I've owned both of these at the same time in the past. Cheers.

It started me thinking, jeez that bike sounds like the two wheeled equivalent of General Motor's Hummer. Come to think of it, it's got a similar paint job and it's blinged out to the max. Now of course most will consider it most sacraligeous to identify such monstrocity with an Italian design, but you gotta admit - there is a resemblance.

Holy crap... are you sure the Benelli is actually a production bike? Seems more likely from looking at it that the Autobots have a new two wheeled recruit.

DeTomaso Pantera and Moto Guzzi V11

Both have (for the time) up to the minute Italian styling and good handling, but powered by a big lazy engine.

Elvis shot his De Tomaso when it wouldn't start.

...

Yep, sounds like a Guzzi

Funny you should say that.
My Guzzi wouldn't start the first day I took ownership of it.

When you buy Italian you only get styling, you don't get reliability with it.....

(My old Alfa was like that too....)

What do the de Tomaso car company and Moto Guzzi (+Benelli) have in common?

The same guy ruined both companies! Ironic.

STOP COMPARING CARS AND BIKES.

I can't keep vomiting like this. Something bad will happen.
