So they took a bike that handled and braked well and made it handle like shit and no front brake? : Makes perfect sense to me.

Maybe he was inspired by this:

This looks like a Honda Ruckus.

 

[The Wheel]

Yeesh. I think I like the Ruckus better. The plaid is a nice touch though.

Damn, I work 4 miles away....If I thought I could handle getting parts for that rare a bird, I'd have to think about it....

 

[kopcicle]

mydlyf , you arn't going to tell me that you don't know what the internals of that bike are ...

~kop

 

[mydlyfkryzis]

No, not what the internals are, getting any replacement parts is the concern.

Those Italian girls are high maintenance types.. It's hard enough getting parts for my old Honda.

If I had the resources ( money, space, competent machine shop) though, I would need to consider it.

The Bennelli SEI was around before the Honda CBX. The SEI is probably as rare as the Sci.

Still, the Italians make some sexy equipment. Motorcycle porn. Lol

the 750 Sei is largely cb500-550 internals , the 900 is sohc 750 . I wouldn't want to hurt a crank cam or case but the rest is all either honda or directly copied from honda . I don't know about the gear box ...

Did not know that....What is the world coming too?

Back in the day, everyone accused the Japanese of copying everyone else....Now we find out someone was copying them...LOL

Well, that info only leaves the money and space problem....Space can be reanted with money....crap....James T Kirk Voice: "Need..To..Win..Lottery"
