The Benelli 302 and its 500 leoncino brothers  are excellent bikes the engine is mega  so the baby HD will be good  but I bet it will be a lot more expensive than the benellis

 

I would have one if the price is right   100mph is easy on the 302 cruise all day at 70mph  great acceleration and torque   awesome engone sound , they are reliable and well made in China .

 

benelli  have just released the 752 cc version in UK  at £6000  thats a bargain  as all competitors are £2000 more ...

Was just a matter of time until the Chinese caught up.

Won't be long now until some of their bikes are top rated.

I can remember when the label "Made in Japan" was an insult.

Same thing happening with China

So true they devastated the English bike manufactures and then went on to have go at one another. ????

Honda dominated for years.

Is this an exercise to save Harley or to save Benelli?

HD has done the company equivalent of far too long going straight, realizing there's a turn, running wide, trying to lean the f##k out of it, going full throttle into the new direction but seems like they'll just lowside.
