I finish off this topic with my riding experience: very smooth ride, like a turbine, more than :D

CBX and a KZ1300. Seems you only need the Benelli 750 Sei to complete the set. :lol:



Yes, maybe one day...
The day came earlier than expected, the big six quartett is complete :D :D :D :D

Congrats on the new bikes.
Are they both runners?
From the looks of the rotors on the 750 it might have been sitting for a while?

Both are runners, the 750 stood for 2 years and will get a full tune-up after I have finished the 900. I drove the 900 some miles already last summer.

fantastic collection of transverse straight sixes... shouldn't it be a quintet, what about the BMW KZ1600GT? :roll:

and then there's the Horex, but I'm not sure if it's a straight offset six or shallow v-6 :think:

The Horex was a V-6. If you allow this into the count, you have to get a GL1800. A Six also.

I don't know...when you think about a traditional v6 you think of two separate banks of 3, the Horex doesn't have that it has alternating offset cylinders in a single block, not a true V6, more of a hybrid transverse 6...interesting compact design
