Benelli leoncino 800 trails.

[Dodgy69]

Made in China like most other things but cheap enough, getting on 80bhp.

Might have a test ride, why not.

The price is good, I find it visually challenging, but if you like it then alls good, go and have a look at it to see whether you think it's worth the money.

[Dodgy69]

Yeah it does look a bit different, but the spec sheet is pretty impressive for not a lot of money. Never seen one before, might have a ride out somewhere and have a proper look.

Garage had a good tidy, in readiness for the new arrival.

You could have had this...

with a few quid left over to buy some imperial spanners.

[Dodgy69]

Thats more than I paid but apart from that, it's not for me. Has it got a mother.

And I thought the Benelli was visually challenging

Have you had an eye test reminder recently?

[Dodgy69]

This time tomorrow, you'll be dribbling in your beer coz of it's beatifulness, and it's brown.

[Dodgy69]

Hang on a minute...

[Dodgy69]

The bike.



£4495 with 800 miles on. Picking up from Wigan in the morning. I know pretty much FA about them, It's a bit different and it's chocolate brown, not anything else brown.

Looks like the offspring of a Ducati Scrambler and Ducati Monster. Not necessarily a bad thing.

[Ditchfinder]

Yamaha CP2 engine by any chance?

[Count Steer]

I don't think I'd like to work on one. Things look a tad crowded below tank level.

Looks like a handy sort of thing though. Nice price too.

More pix and ride reports expected.

[Dodgy69]

The little Lion has arrived home. Proper shit ride up and down to collect bike from Wigan. M6 was gridlock and A49 much the same around Warrington.

The bike is nice. Reminded me of the 950sm in some ways. Upright riding, plenty of go and makes a nice noise. Stopped at cafe on way home for pic's. Gonna have a better ride tomorrow.

Came with heated grips, rad guard and charging cable, saves me a bit of hassle.

[v8-powered]

Pretty cool looking thing, bargain too!

[demographic]

Quite like the look of that.

[KungFooBob]

I know people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but WTF were you thinking Dogester, it looks a fucking dogs dinner, you need your bumps feeling.

[Dodgy69]

Only ever heard of them 2 weeks ago. Kinda love at first sight. Tested the Guerrilla twice, but you needed to rag it for smiles, not much low down. This goes well.

Don't know if its a 12 month bike, only time will tell, but first impressions are very good. Having a run out tomorrow on familiar roads so nice comparison should be had, sort of.

I like the looks of the trails, they do a non trails that looks nice irl and I saw a 752 naked that looked nice aswel. Reckon Benelli are doing something right, bit like RE.

Seems well put together, solid build sort of thing. 76 bhp, think I read 130mph, oh and 2 rev counters, one around the top and one around the bottom.
