New Italian mistress

[sshenton1975]

Hi All

Currently have two bikes - XKR1300 and VFR1200F - both great but I decided I needed something abit more exciting that I can tinker with

Presenting the new Italian mistress that has been bought by trading in the XJR

Always liked the look of the Benelli Tornado - yes I know it will be problematic and there are lots of things to be aware of but just look at it! It is a seriously gorgeous machine! Its a 2009 with 7000 miles on it and full history. Picking it up on Friday afternoon and will report back!

Congrats on the purchase! And don't worry, you'll be fine, nobody's going to pick up that pic and do any photoshopping with it, definitely not...

I was thinking he looks like some bloke off the telly. I also think he looks Australian, don’t ask me why though.

Congrats on the purchase; you do look super-pleased.

Lovely bike and looks immaculate... The red ones were the fastest too

Having owned the same bike and put near 10k on it if I can give any advice keep the battery charged, ensure EVERYTHING that needs to be sorted (it's well known in the Benelli community z25 etc) is done and enjoy it

The sound and handling of that bike is amazing

I managed a few old VHS specials of mine

Congrats, lovely machine! It's on my bike wish-list, if only for the looks, clever cooling system and red-on-gold colour scheme.

Looks like a great bike, I hope you enjoy it- I have to admit I know nothing about them though.

They aren't Italian! Any fool knows that they're Welsh, and it's pronounced "Ben-eth-li"
