    Reading the review in Bike this month, I rather like that - definitely want
    to see one up close though. :)

    The MV Brutale isn't bad either...

    The Brutale looks better, the plasticky bits on the sides and headlight
    of the Benelli do nothing to help the aesthetics IMO.

    They'd struggle to make it look worse IMHO.

    The Pics in Bike are a _lot_ better, but yes, hence why I want to see one
    for real.

    I like the look of it as well. Something is making me lean towards a
    naked bike possibly later this year. Not saying I'd buy the Benelli but
    I do like the styling.

    Cheers.

    I *nearly* like it. Maybe better in the metal - like the Zed Thou.

    Hmm.

    Front end, very Z-thou, as you say.
    Tank area, almost BMW-ish in its mingosity.
    Back end, yet another potentially good looking bike ruined by an under
    seat exhaust, so mid-90s.

    And then there's the numberplate hanger...

    Priceless?

    Expensive to replace?

    Fragile?

    Vulgar?
    Oh, hell yeah. No-one's done it well since the 916, imo.

    You can take off the pillion pad to show it off - quite a novel idea :)
