One of these is sometimes parked near where I work. It's absolutely bonkers and I love it. I just have to stop every time and have a good look at it, and every time I discover some new piece of detail I've missed previously. I'd seriously consider getting one if I could possibly justify it to SWMBO, but don't see how I could.

That looks so much fun !
How about telling SWMBO, one or both of us will have to sell ass until we can afford one, or is it a bank loan ?
Or would you just get your balls served up for dinner ?

6 Grand for a brand new bike? How much are fireblades and R1's new?
I think it makes the benelli good value for money

After one lunchtime amble to ogle the Benelli Tre I went back and seriously started hunting down the classifieds for one. I reckon that if one were to go a-Benelli shopping in late November/early December, then serious bargains might be had. It might mean a freezing/frigid Christmas and New Year, but them's the risks you take.

That's all I'm saying on the subject. Ahem...

Just saying.


Going for £6k - that's only a grand more than brand new Falcos were going for a few years ago.
Nice bikes but I'd still not swap the Falco for one.

I like them, but I'd still take the Falco.
They are not exactly new, just up to 3 or 4 years old, (or more), with no mileage.
They will still de-value very quick, but they do look nice!

Blue bike?

I had a look at one before the dark side, and as nice as the Tornado is, I wouldn't want to be caught short when I need spares. Then again, retirement fund is due, and after seeing Kiwi yesterday with his bronze Falco, I may be in the market again to get another one

Last year when I was looking at something other than my Gixer I actually went out on a second hand one. Loved it but the woman wanted a nicer ride two up lol.

Great bike and uber cheap these days.

I saw the Tornado Tre at the Melbourne bike show about 10 years ago. The price tag was something like AU$60k. It looked bloody beautiful.

When I was looking at buying the Falco, the same dealer had the Cafe Racer in stock. I'd love to own one of them, but not at AU$25k (and up)
