That's Italian electrics for you. My mate on his Benelli Tre turned up just as I was getting the RD ready for MOT - "Started ok did it?" he asked, I asked him the same - he'd had a few problems with his plain Tornado before he got the Tre... He seems to have bought at the bottom of the market though - 4 mile old Tre bought for 6k and he got offered a lot more for it a few weeks later.
That was pretty much the story on his Tornado, niggling little problems, niggling bigger problems, but he always liked it and fancied a Tre. He scored one that somebody had bought as an investment and never ridden - hence the 4 miles on the clock - and it's been the model of reliability so far. He actually uses it and has clocked up reasonable miles in the short time he's had it. There are enough specialist dealers in the UK that they can be looked after OK - but spares availability sounds like a bit of a problem, especially the carbon goodies on the Tre. Bastard loud on standard pipes, I'm about 6 houses down and it wakes us up when he commutes to work - so no idea what his immediate neighbours think. Ginge might have seen it in the work car park recently.
Heh. My Falco, when it was in for what was eventually diagnosed as a worn starter sprag clutch, would apparently alternate between shooting flames out the exhaust and flames out of the airbox...
Even if it gets to him in one piece, the chances of him still having it in six months are sub-zero. -- TD 1991 VFR400R NC30 (black and red) 1993 Eunos Roadster (supercharged) Coming soon: Lardy tourer (don't want to hex it) Missing: SOB, Unreliable Italian exotica

exactly. I'm glad we have fuckwits like Nige around - it makes the rest of us look relatively normal.
