The iconic Italian manufacturer Benelli made its debut in the moto world back in 1972. So this beauty rolled out in their fourth year of business. This was a time when motorcycle engines with six cylinders were about as rare as a unicorn sighting. The “Sei” in its name isn’t just there for show; it’s the Italian word for “six,” a nod to the stunning symphony of six cylinders working harmoniously under the hood.
The bike featured a conventional frame with telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear. It offered a comfortable and stable ride, suitable for touring and long-distance cruising. It was a charmer on the highways, a head-turner on the boulevards, and a conversation starter at every pit stop.

RSBFS:
The Benelli 750 Sei was produced until the late 1970s. While it was an innovative and interesting motorcycle, it faced competition from other manufacturers, and its production numbers were relatively low. As a result, the 750 Sei is now considered rare, not to mention it is an inline six cylinder.
Donn covered a ’77 Benelli 750 on RSBFS last year stating, “A 900 Sei was produced before the end of the de Tomaso era, but the original 750 is still revered by fans, and total production was just 3,200 units.”
There is no denying the beauty of this machine. Who will be the next proud owner? Don’t forget to ask about the baby matching moped that is advertised to come with it, lol.
Good luck to all bidders and the seller.

Benelli were racing and winning championships on four cylinder motorcycles long before 1972, a family concern going back a century
Google Reno Pasolini for some good period history, Kenny Roberts mentor Kel Carruthers also raced them, they were an important link in the racing story.
