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!
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.
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..
@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
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.
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.
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.
Günter Lahmeyer warte auf den neuen Clip. Die Benelli ist nun professionell restauriert...der Sound ist jetzt besser und sauberer als beim Neukauf damals.
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...!
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!
@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.
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..
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.
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.
Sounds like half a Ferrari. What's nice is every UA-cam video of Italian bikes has no inane comments from the Ricer squids. As stupid as most of them are, they know better than to mess with Italian bikes. Oh, of course their CBR-RRR's might cream any Italian bike in a straight line but no italian rider is going to lower himself by trying. Like comparing a Datsun to a Ferrari.
It's odd it's got almost a 2 stroke Suzi 750 Gt burble until you give it a twist . Lovely work .
herliche Zeit in den 80er Jahren, ob Reihensechs oder Vierzylinder, die Motoren waren was fürs Auge und der Sound erst!!
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!
I love the sound of that lumpy cam and deep exhaust.
that sound is just badass! sweet bike man.

Was ein herrlicher Klang !!! Und sehr saubere Arbeit - kompliment!
Große Klasse ! Toll gewerkelt und ganz best Ergebnis !
Very nice sound! nice music!
From Japanese Benelli FAN
Thx.

This moteur is a straight replication of the cb 750 moteur with two added cylinders. How nice they done it!!!
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.
I've never seen one of those before..the engine reminds me of the CBX..But that is a BEASTLY sounding six there!
Beethoven could like this. Music made from a machine:) What an fantastic engine!

Ultimate dream bike of my teen years. What a look and sound!
Geiler 6 Zylinder Sound !
jedenfalls king of the eisdiele, bravo!
Sweetest flute I ever heard. Like a Honda on steroids.
Nice sound. It looks a bit like a old corvette. Like it!
Vielen Dank 🙏
Wunderbar !!!
ein sehr schönes bike mit coolem sound was will man mehr :D
What an absolutely beautiful bike!

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

Great sound. roars like a black panther!
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
Wow only those who produce Ferraris and Lamborghinis
can build this wonder! I still hope see an Benelli 900 running!
Where did you have bought mufflers? Do you have a good shop for Benelli spares?
sounds like a dragster almost‼️®™️ 😳😳
that ''idol'' though damn❗️ 🔥🔥
Bravo mate. Excellent machine.
Sounds like a beast! Awesome!
Ein wahrhaft böse, dreckiger Sound.! Zztop und 900sei unvergleichlich gut!

geilgeilgeil :-)
Super Video,

Viele Grüße

Fantastic !!! it's my dream to find one!
That's what you call a muscle bike.
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...!

beastly sound!
nice sound
sehr cool, da können die reiskocher einpacken;)
ZZ Top is Harley Davidson, the Sei reminds me more of AC/DC's Brian Johnson. Love Both ;)
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.
It was just a clone of a Honda CB500 with two cylinders added. Honda wasn't pleased.
I think they just copied big chunks of the design, not sure you could swap parts.
yeah....it also means the parts will be much better and reliable :) :) :) :)
I'm glad I read this I always thought the engine had a look of Honda about it.

The sound is amazing, however, the cornering must be abysmal.

Trzeba przyznać, że podkład muzyczny zabójczy...

It doesn't sound any sweeter, anywhere!
