I seem to recall something as well, but can't find a pic anywhere. The
normal - if you can ever call a Benelli 6 that - 750 SEI and 900 SEI had
pretty average looking pipework from what I've seen.

That would be the Benelli Sei, which predated the CBX
by a couple of years.

The little Benelli fours copied the Honda 400/4 engine.

*class*

I've got one of them, in a shed in Surrey with a 1965 MGB that hasn't
turned a wheel in 5 years. I hope my bike doesn't have the same fate.

I always wanted a chrome bumpered MGB GT in BRG. **** only knows why, I
just like them.

Me too. If that one doesn't turn a wheel for another five years, I
might see the owner is open to an offer.

Art - because from a design point of view it's far from perfect ;-)

Art.

One of the attractions of the 400 Four is that exhaust. One of the most
beautiful ever, ever, ever made IMHO.

Four years, actually. Six-into-six pipes, yes. Some team of nutters
raced a brace of them at a 24-hour race (Le Mans or the Bol; I forget
which) with the most *incredible* six-into-one systems. I've got a pic
in an old copy of Bike somewhere.

Not really, no. The Benelli 500 four was pretty much a Honda rip-off,
but the 350cc fours, apart from being a transverse four, were... well,
just another four. A bit gutless, by all accounts.

Benelli was racing four-cylinder bikes while Honda was still faffing
with twins, I think.
