Whats the cost of this #$%* ???

Def. badass...... ;D

Yes definitely bad ass. I can't find a price anywhere. Not even listed in the NADA guide. Sort of like sex on wheels. From what I know this is a 3 cylinder like the speed triple.  But damn if I can find a price for one. ???

I loved my "super" bikes.  Wish that I had a larger garage - two cars take up too much room.  I never kept my super bikes very long, I would sell them after a year or two.  I became bored with them for some reason.  It certainly wasn't because of their performance.  I think that my love for tinkering with mechanical stuff wasn't being fulfilled with those bikes.  The CB750 cured all of that.  I do miss the sheer power, handling, and reliability of those bikes, but they are machines to be respected.  I did this too often (see photos) and decided that maybe a less powerful and heavier bike might help me keep my license a bit longer.

Yes, the Benelli TNT is an inline triple. I don't know for sure if it was ever sold in the US. But I found on motorcyclenews.com the list price is 9500 UK pounds for an '04 or '05. That is equal to 17,892.30 U.S. dollars.  :o

Kick ass Sparty!

That ZRX pic looks like you're going around a corner on one wheel.

Jeff

I was going around a corner with that wheelie.  Just a little weight shift here and there and you could steer that bike on the rear wheel.

No photos of the Cb in a wheelie, nor will I take it up, those front forks can't take it.
