Is this a Benelli?

[Yuxi]

I saw this tonight, is this real?

[carinaman]

Is it one of those modern Chinese made ones?

I was thinking 752S but the decals on the wheels say 600.

Yep, looks like a BN600 that someone has shotgunned some stickers at. Rare as hen's teeth and probably for good reason. They should have stuck with triples.

...or TNT 600?

Maybe, I am in China, I know nothing about bikes but it looked a bit special

It does doesn't it?

The kind of special look that not even eye bleach can remove.

Thanks lukeyman.

Another video that I've seen several times, but forgot the Benelli featured in it:

I like the green colour and like the look of the green 752S.

Looks OK to me. Fat front forks, radial calipers, under seat exhaust. For me to buy one it would have to be about more than the bargain price, looks and nicely branded component parts.

Yeah because Benelli were never any good at building fours

I knew a beard would pick up on that You know what I mean though, when they reinvented themselves with the Tornado and TNT they had a bit more character, whereas trying to compete with the Japanese in the saturated 4cyl naked market didn't really seem to make sense, especially when this BN600 for instance was much less powerful and heavier than the competition with no real differentiating features.

I like that 750...

How much are they worth?

[carinaman]

Two on eBay - £20K as shown above and a later 900 looking 80s to me for £16K.

Yeah sorry I couldn’t resist. I know what you mean though the new Benelli has been about the triples
