Beauty and the Beast
 

Two companies pushing the boundaries of motorcycle design - though in completely different directions. I think that one has got it just right and the other oh, so wrong.

Re: Beauty and the Beast
 

So which one has got it wrong then. :lol:

Re: Beauty and the Beast
 

Are they?

The Benny has more than just an element of MultiStrada about it, no?

And the Victory has possibly been modeled on a wetbike or, perhaps, a Portaloo.

Some things are so different people dont like them. If the changes were in stages i'm sure it'd grow on you.

TBH it looks like a you're almost supposed to lie on the thing. It'd sure be an interesting ride.

Re: Beauty and the Beast
 

They're both slightly 'off road' styled, so the Tre-k could be though of as Benelli's answer to the Multistrada - though it's much better looking than the Duke.

Re: Beauty and the Beast
 

Not sure how Benelli are pushing the boundaries... They do make lovely bikes, but people have been making lovely bikes since the 30s.
