Seems like a cool bike and overall I like the looks but it appeared to be doing 4500 rpm in 6th at 58 mph, which seems like that'd make it way too buzzy and thirsty at highway speeds. My Guzzi V7 850 Stone, which could be considered a competitor to this bike, is doing 78 at that engine speed. And it's Italian designed and Italian made for not that much more money. With the Benelli, I'd worry if I made a comment that was critical of it, it would transmit my location and in two shakes a Chinese drone would make me a steaming puddle on the road ;).
🤣🤣 I love that drone part, made me laugh out loud 😂 the Benelli doesn’t seem buzzy and thirsty but I think you’re right, your V7 is a competitor, that’s a great bike too, both sound good too 😎
Great looking bike, that - 'though why they call it an 800 when (at 754cc) it's a lot closer to a 750 is baffling to me. I agree with a small fairing/screen and a tail treatment are needed, but still, this is a great looking bike.
Yes I’m not sure why they call it an 800 either! It’s like my Z900 - it has a 950 engine!! I think it’s something to do with previous models and reusing the name
Reminds me of a Ducati monster once had , great video 👍🙂
Thanks Rod, I appreciate you saying that 😊 yes, I can see where you’re coming from in your comparison 😎
Really interesting to see what you thought of it
Thanks Giles, I was impressed by the quality of the bike and how great it is to ride 😎
Great ride, nice if you could give a little walk around with spec's before 😮 and the close personal after as well.
Thanks Peter, I appreciate your feedback, I will try and remember to talk a bit about the bike before setting off for a ride 👍😎
Some folks knock the little lion on the fender, but I like it.
@@Paul.Douglas yes, I thought it looked quite cool but yes I did get some not so keen comments about it !

Those levers really are weird, but great looking bike
Yeah the levers are on their closest setting and they’re still not near enough for me!
@@BikerKazZ definitely needs a change
@@itsmephil2255 definitely 💯
2 stroke??
It’s a twin 😎
