[@johnwharton7473]

Beautiful bike, love the six cylinders and those exhausts. That sound is magic, it just growls right at you. Perfect example of a real Italian steed.

[@TheKRU251]

I remember seeing these in the bike magazines 'back-in-the-day' and thinking they were fabulous. They sound even better eh? Just wonderful!!!!

[@Monito100100]

herliche Zeit in den 80er Jahren, ob Reihensechs oder Vierzylinder, die Motoren waren was fürs Auge und der Sound erst!!

[@SvenifulsCleo]

absolut fantastisch...alleine dieser Sound und die super schöne Auspuffanlage...*Ein Traum von Motorradkunst*

[@magna59]

It's odd it's got almost a 2 stroke Suzi 750 Gt burble until you give it a twist . Lovely work .

[@whowantstoknowido]

Saw pics of them in bike mags when I was a kid .Never got to hear one till today .Thanks a lot.Great looking bike.

[@davidgoodwin658]

I love the sound of that lumpy cam and deep exhaust.

[@brianzaborowski2724]

Man, that sounds sweet! Love that idle, sounds like an old hot rod with a nice lumpy cam! Doesn't really even sound like a bike til you crack the throttle, nice!

[@danielepenzo1889]

Formidabile, ha un rombo che pare una tigre, grande Italia.

[@anguspauline]

Great job. These are rarer than Jamaican downhill skiers.

[@JBroezel]

Was ein herrlicher Klang !!! Und sehr saubere Arbeit - kompliment!

[@759roadrunner]

Große Klasse ! Toll gewerkelt und ganz best Ergebnis !

[@rkk05]

Very nice sound! nice music! From Japanese Benelli FAN

[@gebr.kropfgans_gbr]

Thx. Here is this bike after the last restauration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Smnpisp5J0Y9E

[@pongo1969]

Bravo! I am from Pesaro, Italy. the home town of Benelli, and I am so proud to see it back after restoration...

[@FetterEndgegnerTyp]

pongo1969 hello to pesaro. the condition of the motorcycle is not up to date. the clip was filmed many years ago. I got the benelli from a restauration 2 weeks ago. now its almost new, with many specs. :) A new clip will follow soon.

[@pongo1969]

@@FetterEndgegnerTyp With the injection of chinese capital, the Lion with 3 stars is back... checkout the video about Benelli 752S Film...

[@FetterEndgegnerTyp]

Oh. Ok. But i dont like the „new generation“ of bikes. My favorits are old/youngtimers, especially bikes from the 70s/80s. :)

[@legranderaoul]

This was thought to be built on the lines of the CB500 Honda. The original Sei was a 750 so a 500 plus two more cylinders is a 750. It was increased to 900 cc later.

[@69roadr]

that sound is just badass! sweet bike man.

[@IronHearts007]

Ein Schmuckstück .Ich liebe alte Mopeds sie haben was ,was mit den heutigen Fahrzeugen nicht mithalten können.Form ,alte zuverlässige Technik und man kann sie noch selber mit etwas Handgeschick selber reparieren.

[@VAMIRACING]

jedenfalls king of the eisdiele, bravo!

[@Andi_1966]

Geiler 6 Zylinder Sound !

[@morpar318]

The thing I like the most about this video is he did not say one word and he let the motorcycle do all the talking.

[@wolffreebird3678]

Una bella Machina ! Und der Sound ! Fahre auch italienisch, MOTO GUZZI California lll. Bei uns in der Nachbarschaft ist auch so ein Verrückter der an Sechszylindern schraubt. In seiner Halle stehen auch 2 Benellis sei. Der wohnt in der Nähe von Bad Wildungen, in Wellen, im Edertal.

[@volksquadman]

Ultimate dream bike of my teen years. What a look and sound!

[@ache7777]

👍 dein Onkel hatte Geschmack . Die 750 Sei wurde von einem Bekannten in meinem Ort gefahren . Die Maschine lebte nur 6 Mon . Durch anscheben zum starten fuhr sie sofort los und prallte gegen eine Hauswand . Totalschaden .

[@Afrikacorps1943]

Wunderbar !!!

[@joko5340]

Beethoven could like this. Music made from a machine:) What an fantastic engine!

[@n2dabloo]

Vielen Dank 🙏

[@bunnys1980]

This moteur is a straight replication of the cb 750 moteur with two added cylinders. How nice they done it!!!

[@p5050]

What an absolutely beautiful bike!

[@moppedmann123]

Absolut geiles Gerät! Sehr schön instand gesetzt! Viel Erfolg in Sachen Trike ;)

[@SirSnackalot]

ein sehr schönes bike mit coolem sound was will man mehr :D

[@mpferretti]

Dude, unfortunately I don't understand German, but thanks to publish this video... It just blew my mind making my Saturday much and much better! I was looking for CBX 1000/1050 6 cylinders sound and for my lucky I found it.. Fantastic sound and grat job of restoration..

[@HippyDave57]

I've never seen one of those before..the engine reminds me of the CBX..But that is a BEASTLY sounding six there!

[@FetterEndgegnerTyp]

@LoveAllSaveAll danke für den netten post. die restauration war nicht meine arbeit, sondern die eines mitgliedes der "benelli-ig". ohne die benell-ig hätte ich noch immer die kartons mit den motorteilen in der garage. :-) lg

[@47485ksc]

I remember seeing one pass by in Wurzburg, West Germany in 1975. A 750, I believe. Had six open megaphones and sounded good, to say the least.

[@mlynch001]

That is actually what is is, reverse engineered. The sound of an inline 6 is like nothing else. Listen to a well tuned CBX, that will make you wet yourself, especially at about 8000 rpm. This is COOL beyond comparison, simply because it is so rare.

[@KoendHaan]

Nice sound. It looks a bit like a old corvette. Like it!

[@darrak4851]

Great sound. roars like a black panther!

[@ronlek1]

Beautiful bike.

[@patrickfitzmichael5940]

Wunderbar. Sounds like a wild cat. Great work of art.

[@FetterEndgegnerTyp]

Die Benelli ist wieder in Restauration und wird nun professionell überarbeitet. The Benelli will be restaurated again, by professionals. Start: September 2016 Finish: I hope in the end of 2016 New clip will be uploaded after restauration. Stay tuned. :)

[@iiianydayiii]

you know you have one hell of a bike when all the recommended videos are of Ferrari F1 racecars :D

[@deedee5205]

Sweetest flute I ever heard. Like a Honda on steroids.

[@jTmeLone1]

Hammer Sound. Jetzt will ich auch so eine haben :o(

[@marram2765]

Hola, que hermoso sonido !!!!!!!!! "Zei Zylinder" !!!!!! (ZZ TOP)!!!!!!! Felicitaciones al dueño de esta 'maquina de sonido !!!!!

Oh my .. Oh my...

[@SuperSkyhawk81]

Sounds like a beast! Awesome!

[@Gioagla]

whatta machine ....whatta machine... my god .. beautifulll

[@rpadilla99ish]

wow that thing idles like a beast!

[@eluisruano1052]

Wow only those who produce Ferraris and Lamborghinis can build this wonder! I still hope see an Benelli 900 running!

[@kabalimo]

Läuft perfekt, nimmt sofort Gas an, und läuft auch bei erhöhter Drehzahl perfekt.....muss mein Lob aussprechen! Zum Sound gibts nur ein Bike das geiler ist, die Desmosedici RR, aber die iss ja auch aus dem Land der Fetischisten!

[@TheKeroady]

Bravo mate. Excellent machine.

[@christianpawlowski212]

Super Video, ich Blödmann habe damals mei 750 Sei für 3000 DM verkauft....wirklich dumm. Viele Grüße Christian

[@crickle47]

Great job! Good to hear it.

[@danawilson3357]

This is by far the best video I've ever watched in my life. Where did the 1/4 fairing come from?

[@stuartmorton1279]

on tickover, it sounds like the beginning of van halens hot for teacher.

[@digable_celestial_dwarfs6778]

Stuart Morton my thoughts exactly! I guess now we know what Alex was trying to emulate.

[@Antanix]

In the late '80/early '90s, the last Benelli 900 Sei (the ones with square light) were sold for peanuts by some Northern Italy dealership specialized in low-price, discontinued bikes. They took ages to sell, nobody wanted them because they were too old and underpowered. Now you can't buy a good one without 10.000 € in your pocket.

[@guennipegaso1543]

Ein wahrhaft böse, dreckiger Sound.! Zztop und 900sei unvergleichlich gut!

[@FetterEndgegnerTyp]

Günter Lahmeyer warte auf den neuen Clip. Die Benelli ist nun professionell restauriert...der Sound ist jetzt besser und sauberer als beim Neukauf damals.

[@themopar426]

looks like a very modern bike!

[@freeclimb64]

Das darf so, hör Dir den Leerlauf an.....da stimmt jedes Ventilspiel...lecker!

[@oobeedoob]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Congratualtions on having a very rare and sexy bike!

[@antoniom.4979]

Fantastic !!! it's my dream to find one!

[@1moreshoot]

Very compliment , big job for a big bike !!

[@claudefortin4654]

belle restauration , bravo

[@christopheryeates3865]

This is why i love Benelli mad as hell and likely to go wrong soon.So i bought one it is broken today but it will be fixed by wednesday

[@alles528]

was für ein Sound

[@Will84ABA]

man man man Respekt!

[@bunnys1980]

beastly sound!

[@yuyacb2527]

nice sound

[@davidmacgregor5193]

When installing a Benelli 750 Sei six into six exhaust system directly onto a 900 Sei without any modification the #3 and #4 cylinder silencers hang far too low down, that has an adverse effect on the machines cornering ability. The reason for this is that the 900 has a more vertical cylinder block than the 750, it's cylinder block is inclined forward more than that of the 900. So unfortunately all six of the 750's pipe hang low when fitted on the 900. I bought a Silentium six into six exhaust system for my 900 Sei, I had all six pipes cut and re-welded at a steeper angle to make them sit higher, the ground clearance is now great when cornering. I replaces the three stock Dell'Orto VHB 24 carburettorses with a bank of six Dell'Orto VHB 22 items and six un-filtered bell mouths, that made it very tight for my knees so I modified a pair of Paolo Tarozzi rear sets that were originally made to fit a Moto Guzzi Le Mans MK II. I also fitted stainless steel connector rods which I bought from an Auto Jumble. My knees are now far enough back that they don't hit the #1 and #6 carb bell mouths. I junked the stock air filter and it's housing. The Benelli Sei is a rewarding machine to ride and it always puts a smile on my face when riding. I've seen car drivers swan necking when I ride past them on my Sei, these machines are indeed a rare sight on today's roads.

[@FetterEndgegnerTyp]

David MacGregor I had the machine restored recently. The engine is now a bit inclined and the exhaust system is now mounted correctly. I will be shooting a new video clip soon.

[@FetterEndgegnerTyp]

By the way, I have the air filter removed. There are now open funnels mounted on. also a photocell ignition system, a modified camshaft and much much more. Oh yes, of course, an alarm system, GPS and a self-firing system

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

sounds like a dragster almost‼️®™️ 😳😳 that ''idol'' though damn❗️ 🔥🔥

[@schosal123]

geilgeilgeil :-)

[@MARKUS4123]

wow. Have much fun!

[@MARKUS4123]

make a now video.

[@CZ350tuner]

Does it still run in the rain or is it like my friend's old 1975 Benelli 125 2C??

[@flannel2699]

At about 3:29 as it drops down through 1500 rpm to tick over -- sounds almost exactly the same as the drum fill from a few seconds before 3:19. Kind of..

[@mrgranda69]

¡Suena muy bien esa maquina!

[@jamesnicholls8601]

Very well done!!!

[@Metten4070]

sehr Geiles Teil

[@epiculo2]

Where did you have bought mufflers? Do you have a good shop for Benelli spares?

[@BluestarRadioChannel]

Ein Traum !!!!!!!!!!

[@tejastiger61]

Awesome video.... BRAVO....! great music ..that lit ole’ band frum Tejas.. BigBad Benelli 6 Laud hav Mercy BRAVO .....! OH -YEA ..! Come on lets geaux for a ride...!

[@whowantstoknowido]

@mrbilly800 Sorry I don't see the resemblance.True they were both inline sixs.And true both,had huge engines poking out from under the gas tanks(like the CBX).When you look at the motors they looked like the were from different eras.The Benelli is beautifull,but its inspiration was obviously the early-mid seventies Hondas.The Sei looks like the cb 550 with extra cylinders and the Kawasaki,with the clean lines of a liquid cooled motor hiding behind the huge rad is visually a more modern motor.

[@xmasterT]

sehr cool, da können die reiskocher einpacken;)

[@LoveAllSaveAll]

oke, erstmal respeckt, das war sicher ganz schön arbeit, ich schraube grad ne alte simson S51 zusammen, die hat einen Zylinder, un das is schon nich ohne. nebenbei, wie viel Zeit und Geld hast du eigentlich dafür gebraucht? JUHU der erste Kommentar mfg LoveAllSaveAll

[@mayanking213]

thank you sir, very nice.

[@supersportimpalass]

That's what you call a muscle bike.

[@BIGPAOLO1969]

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!

[@petermillward2507]

truly awsome

[@schrauberwolli]

soo geil

[@evandromariucci1]

fantastic!!!

[@sitieneshambrecome]

Incredible!!!!

[@spindlerkart]

muito show ! parabéns ! moto linda !

[@TheRealJoeMartinson]

ZZ Top is Harley Davidson, the Sei reminds me more of AC/DC's Brian Johnson. Love Both ;)

[@AndieBlack13]

I heard this six was built by Benelli under some sort of contract with Honda, as...I heard the engine uses many Honda parts from the old early SOHC design. If that is indeed the case, parts would be somewhat easy to find.

[@Scootertuner1000]

It was just a clone of a Honda CB500 with two cylinders added. Honda wasn't pleased.

[@bsastarfire250]

I think they just copied big chunks of the design, not sure you could swap parts.

[@eyalcr500]

yeah....it also means the parts will be much better and reliable :) :) :) :)

[@briangriffin928]

I'm glad I read this I always thought the engine had a look of Honda about it.

[@AndieBlack13]

OK, I'll concede of course to an individual who actually worked on them long ago....The early SOHC Hondas were of course two-valve engines, & the DOHC versions as well...this is what I recalled that resembles the Benelli...the SOHC version. I guess one just has to look at the actual machines side by side to note the obvious differences... Myself? a long-time Auto mechanic, & a Suzuki GS series kinda guy...having owned three in the series, 850S, 1000E, 1150ES, the last one restored by myself.

[@vithnz]

The sound remembles that of a motorcycle suzuki 750 GT TWO TIMES !!

[@tejastiger61]

You are my HERO...! AWESOME X 1,000,000,000,000,000 I will buy you ah new set of tires for that sweet baby.....

[@Sahneschnonks]

@xmasterT oh man was würde ich geben die mal fahren zu dürfen =D

[@Wearyboots]

mmmmm the sound!

[@hoplite46]

@hoplite46 thank you Love ZZ Top

[@adam92ea]
