Well after writing his FZ6 Fazer off a few months ago, my Dad was eyeing up a new bike at the NEC on Saturday. After viewing a few fairly sensible options (another Fazer, BMW F800ST, GSXF650, etc) he spied the Benelli Tornado 900s that Benelli are trying to shift as they are now out of production, priced at £5995. Given we are talking about a 20 stone 62 year old who will want to be comfortable as he rides, but as someone who only rides about 3k a year in mainly fair weather, would you buy one as a toy?
