Benelli

Six brothers founded the sake of Benelli in 1911 in Pesaro on the Adriatic coast. It is one of the survivors of motorcycle manufacturers oldest in Italy. They started as a repair business and gradually increased to produce a series of components for various industries including firearms.Right - the brothers Benelli in 1929: from left, the Antonio (Tonino) of Francesco of Giovanni of Giuseppe of Domenico and Fillip o.

Ot sure why, but I have always been a fan of the lesser known brands of motorcycle and more exotic. Motocross when I was in the 70s, I leaned on brands like underdogs and CZ Bultaco (after their heyday, that is). I still maintain a degree of admiration for the small, the manufacturers of motorcycles are the least popular. Maybe it’s a matter of sentimentality, it may be inherent exclusivity, they can afford to be built in smaller numbers. A brand of bike that fits the criteria of possessing a rich heritage that has never translated into mega-star and the industry is Benelli. In 2011, the Italian motorcycle company (founded by five brothers in 1911) celebrates 100 years of producing motorcycles.
