Italian cafe racer

[tornado]

Hello everyone, my name is Marco.
since 2006 working on my project and now are at the end.
the bike in question is a BENELLI TORNADO 650 of 1972, the first series.
The work was hard but the satisfaction is great.
By the time I approached the world of cafe racer and I was amazed by the transformations that we are able to do. I wanted to be part DO THE TON first of all because I was inspired by you all and then because I owed to my bike as few know it was designed with Steve McQueen from him the choice of frame "metisse. so disproportionate to find some lover of the tornado.
That is all. I hope it is appreciated by all of you.
sorry for the "use the automatic translator."
I am sending you a photo of the original motion and following the commencement of the work.

Welcome to the site. Great bike! I can't wait to see the finished product.

My sister was born in Naples, Italy (That's what we call it, I believe you call it Napoli) when my father was in the military. She's lucky enough to have dual citizenship and goes back often. Beautiful country.

The Bennelli Tornado 650 is a highly underrated bike and a fantastic foundation for a cafe racer. Good luck with your project, and please post lots of pictures!
