That makes five in the "Grom" market (12" wheels) and obviously importers see a market here.
At $2499 it's a helluva buy and has much, much better suspension than either the Grom or Z125. It has a five speed tranny, too and acccording to the review will easily run 70 MPH--meaning real-world cruising at 55 will be a piece of cake.  |
They obviously studied the Honda and the Kawi, and ramped the specs up a notch.
I saw another test that compared them. I'll post it if I can find it again.
The tester felt the quality was decent, but part of me is always skeptical of Chinese imports. We'll need to wait and see I guess.
Benelli was once a proud Italian marque, established in 1911 -
