Benelli Sei 900

[Speeddog]

Inline 6 nearly perfectly balanced

Half perfectly balanced. The smallest engine you can have that is perfectly balanced is twelve cylinders. The six comes close as it is essentially one half of a twelve cylinder.

Blah de blah blah 


Yes a six is *almost* as good, it's still no twelve.


I still prefer an 8.

The Sei came first but was never as acclaimed as the CBX. Had quite a bit less power, even in 900 form.

But that really doesn't matter, because they are hot, Italian and sound like an old Lamborghini V12.

Just by looking at the Sei and CBX I would assume the Sei was a lot lighter and a better handler.  It was probably about 30 to 50% more expensive than the CBX though, just a guess.

Seems like it would be a real pregnant dog to work on -- six carbs!! ouch!

1047 CC though.  Much bigger than the Benelli.

Here's a CBX with a slight transfusion of Italian blood in it!

Wow, that does sound nice. 

Thanks for putting that up, nice to see and hear a bike I didn't know about...

Oh, and by the way.  I do the same thing riding through tunnels and next to walls... Downshift and let the Termi's sing!  [moto]
