This is probably the coolest café/streetfighter around, and the only one that could rival Speed Triple. The Benelli Café Racer (as spotted in Oslo yesterday):  |

That looks high tech. Owners manual is probably 300 pages, 50 of them on how to change the sparkplugs!

Looks like an angry hornet, & I bet it sounds like one too. I like the look. It brings the cafe look into the 21stC. I could never justify buying one, but I'd love a ride. & I look forward to seeing one on the road.

As some of you might remember, I got to try a Benelli TNT 899 last Autumn. It definitely sounds like an angry hornet. Very aggressive posture, and extremely temperamental to ride. Just like a high-strung Italian would be. But I believe that the Café style would be better than the streetfighter.

Not too bad. I'll still stick with the Speed Triple.

I can't wait to see a good comparo between the two. The Speedy's got some real competetion here I reckon.
