If I was 20 years old, I would buy this snarling, cantankerous, mad-looking bastard in a second. I wouldn’t even look at the other bikes. Beside the Benelli, they are all invisible anyway.<\/p>\n

It sounds like it’s having some kind of heavy metallic thrombosis even when its idling, while howling like a hot-rod racing bike when you’re up it. It’s ridiculously low geared and I found myself searching for a higher cog in tight corners in order to smooth my exits a little. The motor is strong and willing and ever so angry.<\/p>\n

The bike itself feels raw and brutal, and the styling is chaotically awesome. But I was simply too damn old to fall in love with this lunatic dago honk-weapon. It very much reminded me of what Italian bikes were like 25 years ago — and what I was like 25 years ago. And there are positives and negatives to both of those things.<\/p>\n
