Today’s Benelli Sei 900 might be pushing the definition of the term “sport bike” a bit: it’s not light, agile, or designed for pure speed. It is more of a gran tourismo, a grandiose pronouncement of Italian style and engineering, even if a few mechanical bits were artfully cribbed from the Japanese… Styling was bold…
More often seen as the later 900cc, the 750 Sei sings an alto arrangement with a sextet of pistons just over two inches in diameter. Hard to say just when this restoration was completed, but it appears to have traveled very few miles since then. 1976 Benelli 750 Sei for sale on eBay Conceived by…
Showing just 3,784 miles, this CBX show bike’s condition is hard to believe. The third and present owner rode it once or twice but found being a museum docent on every ride was a reminder that this CBX is just too nice. 1979 Honda CBX for sale on eBay Already a world sales leader, Honda…

Update: eBay shows sold at $15,500. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The 1979 Honda CBX, a six-cylinder behemoth dressed up as a buttoned-down commuter, was an exercise in weird, but impressive, flex from Honda. As the long run of the original CB750 was at its peak, Big Red decided it was time to show…
New CEO DeTomaso ( yes that one ) led the historic Benelli company to higher performance machines and the 750 Sei ( Six ) in 1973. Benelli increased bore and stroke on the Sei to displace 906cc for the 1979 model year. Simultaneously outrageous, exotic, handcrafted, and occasionally disappointing, the Sei was Benelli’s flagship until…
