This bike was at a local bike in Auburn last summer. I'm not familiar with the bike, I'm sure someone is.

(benelli used( copy"ed) the cb 500 four as basis for this 6 engine) (not news for most of you)

You know starred right at that dang bike and didn't put it together, I know Benelli and a 6cyld but I never looked real close to see some resemblance to the 750 engine.

Its been 4 years since last eye exam, made appt next month.

strynboen · « **Reply #5 on:** January 13, 2015, 09:52:56 AM »

its aktuly the cb 500 engine they kopied..vet sump..no oil tank..

Clever 'body work' by somebody!
Note the ever-present, under Benelli oil drip pan...

I wonder if those were shipped with the bikes?

MoMo · « **Reply #7 on:** January 13, 2015, 01:35:48 PM »

It looks as though all the bikes have a pan-probably a show reg but you are right as most vintage Italian bikes had a slight

tendency to leak(probably copied the Brits

)

strynboen · « **Reply #8 on:** January 14, 2015, 07:34:16 AM »

yes ,,,leak and rattel ....and rust..and lost parts..and failing elektric komponents.(.lost turnsignals go under lost parts)..not elektric faliars..

but they ran vell and looked fantastic..(aganst the boring germen bikes)...and did hold against the japanese invasion..better then any other nations..

The forks and shocks resemble CB77, or maybe early CB450? The CB77 had a single front downtube that attached to the engine, making it the stressed member. The CL77 had a cradle frame, but boy, that would take some serious stretching to make it swallow this Benelli biggie!

For as many gussets as there are the guy's probably skilled enough to weld it out of anything, but my guess is it's not an early 450. There just aren't as many junk parts at the swap meets that I've seen. Cl', CB 77' basket cases seem plentiful. It looks like it had a single down tube with a cradle added.

Geez guys, on my Blackberry it clearly shows as a CB750 frame and swingarm..

HondaMan · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2015, 07:28:57 PM »

It's sure a masterful piece of work! The braces, brakes, CB77-type headlight, fine paint and chrome, too!

strynboen · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2015, 07:17:14 AM »

the cb 77 dont have front attac tubes at all..it are like cbx 1000. bolted direkt to the head top breather .the engine are front tube..as stressed part of frame..the frame looks as a 754 said as a 750.. the front brake looks M ,bigger then the cb 77 one... as is also a doubbel "shue" type,,but smaller then this..

think i sell my cb 77..but it only are euro sale possibel..you have so many fine overthere..

It's a clever design feature. You have to keep putting fresh oil in the motor, which means the oil never gets old & manky!

dave500 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2015, 02:46:52 AM »

a token total loss system?

I'm sure you're right morini. Plus if saves on the necessity to change the oil as it is constantly being replenished(long as the rider is diligent).

strynboen · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2015, 07:23:49 AM »

not total loss system..your parking place vill be vell oil"ed...and somday it vent inside your house..under yours shue..and ends on the klean floor..and make the WIFE krazyyy...so bay a honda...and it vill never happends

Yeah the J.A.P. old speedway engine were total loss oil, they gave up trying to seal the motor and just let it run out.

Greggo · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2015, 02:36:50 PM »

Looks like a 500/4 frame with lots of extra bracing.

The kickstand has a bad leak on mine when I park it, but it seems to keep the chain oiled well when moving.

Looks like 750 frame and arm to me..
