may well have found my next bike!

Benelli Tornado! Seen some going for stupid prices - about £3500 for an 05! We shall see…in a few years of course, then i can get an 09 for a similar price!hehe

Dredging the memory here, but do I recall that Benelli have made a huge price cut this year?

Hope you have a garage to keep the Italian b***ch warm and comfortable to stop the finish falling off.

no, i don’t have a garage! Was a bit of a passing thought to be honest, was attracted by the MASSIVE price difference between new and used!lol.

not cheap to look after if you want them to keep working

Where have you seen that ? £3500 is a bit cheap, even for an 05 plate. Which model ?

ebay and mcn! But anyway, i think i’ve been convinced otherwise!lol

I read an article about these which was complimentary about the Tornado and quite rated them, alot of bike for not alot of money. Not sure about the longevity of them though. And having paid £3500 for an '05 its then worth how much a year later? ! :slight_smile:

yea, i guess i was just initially attracted by the prospect of owning a piece of “italian exotica” for so little money! Reason has long since kicked in now though!:smiley:

I’m sure I recall reading somewhere that dealers were selling new ones for about 6 or 7k. I woul get one in a heartbeat. My dream bike. Gorgeous.

if you fancy something nice thats been dropped in price have a look at the Aprilia factorys -either the Tuono or the sports bike.
