There is one for sale locally but something niggles me regarding reliability and spares.
Could it be a nightmare or could it be a good experience?

That's the thing with Benelli - it's bound to either be great or a disaster - do you feel lucky ?

I nearly bought one last year but decided against and I'm happy with the risks of running KTMs

Different bike but I owned a Benelli TNT 1130. Looked brilliant and handled well but broke down on the way home from the dealer, had to bump start it as the starter couldn’t turn the engine. Constant overheating in summer and blew its head gasket on the Isle of Man so I ended up riding my spare VFR750 instead. Looked great but utter garbage. Made by people who make washing machines.

That's killed a dream. I've always fancied the Amazonicas.

Difficult one - the new bikes look like decent quality up close, and their Chinese owners have really pushed cash into the brand.

On the other hand, the older ones are legendarily unreliable! hehe

It’s a 2015,1130 cc and as far as I can tell standard

That looks great. Any warranty on it at all?

Warranty,I don’t know,haven’t called them yet.

I think this is the bike as I recognise some of the route around Agen.
