Verry nice bike mate
SAw a benelli tornado a few days back looks loads better in the plastic than it does in the pics and those underseat fans are the dogs danglies

[pesty]

Wow nice one badapple Best looking bike ever made in my humble opinion.

[funkyboogalooo]

And just as nice in the flesh. Does sound damn fine too. Shame I need to ride it for him all the time ;-)

[Badapple]

Cheers guys.

I'm afraid she's not so pretty now
I slipped on some moss on my drive & managed to drop her
1st time I dropped a bike, had to be this one.
Scratched fairing, broken clutch lever & scratched wing mirror
Horrid feeling this is going to cost

Denny, I also saw a tornado a while back. Very nice bike

I was just reading down the thread and thinking, ohh i remember the first time i rode a MV F4 and thinking what a beatiful bike.

Sorry to hear that you've dropped it

I work at a benelli main dealer and the tornado is a cracking bit of kit, i love the triple raw it makes and the torque is superb.

To be fair i did prefer riding the MV as i love the rush of power from about 7500rpm.

OH i can't wait for a dry road.

All the best

NNNooooooO!!!!!!

At least you dropped it on your drive instead of down the road!!

[Davel]

Ouch!

I think that you're always worried about the first scratch on a new bike.

It could have been much worse....

[cazzo]

Nice Bike, shame you dropped it though,
still...enjoy

[big simp]

Bad Apple, great looking bike man sorry to hear you dropped her, isnt that always the way, a bike that you dont care so much off, sod all ever happens it but the one you love gets scratched.

Good luck anyways hope you get it sorted, and watch the Moss.

[tycho]

Sorry to hear you dropped it. I nearly did that at a dealers when I sat on one as I didn't realise the sidestand flips up when you take the weight off it..... Didn't do that did you?

[Badapple]

Well, now with a rather lighter wallet I've managed to get the parts & I'll have her back to perfect again soon.

Tycho, no it wasn't the stand. I had the same one on my 748 & they are lethal. The MV owners call them 'suicide stands'. If you look at the pics, my drive is covered in moss. I slipped on some of that & down it went
