Tis a 750 Benelli Sei

The Benelli 750 Sei is a motorcycle that was produced by Italian manufacturer Benelli from 1972 to 1978. It was the first production motorcycle with a 6-cylinder engine. The engine was based on the four-cylinder Honda CB500, but with two extra cylinders. The cylinder head fins of the Sei were squared off to provide a cosmetic individuality, but otherwise the engine is in most respects obviously derived from the Honda. The "angular, bold design" was by Carrozzeria Ghia.

Despite the extra cylinders, the Sei's width was kept to a minimum by siting the alternator (which, on the Honda, is at the left-hand end of the crankshaft) behind the cylinders. Cooling was improved by having air passages between the cylinders; the Sei had three Dell'Orto VHB 24 mm carburetors (the Honda CB 500 had four, for four cylinders). After four years of production during which they sold 3,200 Sei models, Benelli developed the 750 Sei into a 900 cc motorcycle, with six-into-two exhausts, but built less than 2,000 of them.

Nice try.
It's amazing how much the engine looks like a Honda.
I've never seen a small capacity 6 cylinder Honda street bike.

You jumped the gun Dave, I didn't declare you the winner.

OK now you're the winner.

I'm going to be tied up a bit, can't follow up if it post, so please go again Dave.

 

[DaveM]

Correct this was the most fun bike I have ever owned.

 

[DaveM]

Ok I thought this bike was just cool so I will post it for the next one

 

[Silli]

Well..... it is stunning. A pre-unit Triumph? bottom end and gearbox. The fins are squared off so maybe a BSA instead.

I want it!

 

[DaveM]

Well you are close but it does have a name

 

[Silli]

it is a Lowbrow BSA A10 Hardtail.

 

[DaveM]

Nope not that one, I thought you would all be fast and fly away with this one

 

[DaveM]

Ok here we go

The Falcon Bullet

The Bullet: (sold) - started as the derelict frame and engine of a 1950 pre-unit Triumph Thunderbird — the bike Marlon Brando rode in "The Wild One". The concept was inspired by what a Triumph board track racer would have looked like, if indeed Triumph had ever created one.
