Very nice looking bike

Agree with Scoobs and Jabba, that tank looks a right nad mangler.

Definitely a bike to make sure that the brakes arent too sharp!

I was seriously looking at one before deciding on the cbr, just too many reliability stories, but gorgeous bikes

Oh now they are lovely

Ian, yeah, on the early models there were a few issues, but they were sorted on the later models. In fact, my old man needs to take the clutch casing off to check on the of splines behined it, needs to be 8mm, the ones prone to breaking (thus stopping oil travel = BANG) are 6mm. Its done a few thousand miles now, including a trip to Italy, then 2 days hard track action at Misano, then the ride home.

The tank looks much worse than it is, yout "manly" bits sit below it

Viney, TT, is that the streetfighter version of the Benelli, he wants on of those too. He's got two other bikes as well

Jelous, me, nope not at all

There is definitely something about a bike brand with an "I" at the end of the name!

How cool looking are those? Real nice.
