Description
KNOCK, KNOCK... FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON ALL OF THE DESCRIPTIVE TEXT HAS BEEN JAMMED TOGETHER... i CAN'T GET IT CHANGED ... SORRY IF IT'S HARD TO READ.A LOW MILES ( 2,182 MILES ) BENELLI 1130 CC TORNADO TRE. ( TRIPLE CYLINDER / ITALIAN BUILT ) EXOTIC BEAUTY IS LOOKING FOR A NEW LOVING HOME... NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD OFFER THIS RARELY AVAILABLE TORNADO 1130 CC BIKE FOR SALE BECAUSE SHE IS A KEEPER... SADLY AND UNFORTUNATELY EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE HAS CHANGED AS HAS MY THINKING... SO... NOW THAT I'M 77 AND FOR OTHER REASONS I'M REDUCING MY COLLECTION OF CARS AND MOTORCYCLES... ... THIS BABY IS FUEL INJECTED, NO CARBS TO SCREW AROUND WITH... SIX SPEED TRANS... AND ... SHE HAS A DUEL POWER RANGE SWITCH ... A SOFTER, LIMITED TO 100 HORSEPOWER SETTING BEST FOR SLIPPERY / WET ROAD CONDITIONS AND A FULL 136 HORSEPOWER SETTING FOR NORMAL USE / FREEWAY COMMUTING SITUATIONS... I START HER REGULARLY ONCE A MONTH WHILE SHE IS IN HER WINTER HIBERNATION... HOWEVER THE EXPENSIVE ( PAID $200.00 FOR IT ) LITHIUM SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT BATTERY DIED LAST DECEMBER... SO... SHE WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY WHICH IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND INSTALL... IT'S LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE REAR FAIRINGS HAVE TO BE REMOVED WHICH IS A REAL PAIN TO DO AS IT MUST BE DONE VERY CAREFULLY ... THE FAIRINGS HAVE TO BE SIMULTANEOUSLY PULLED BACK / SLID ALONG / TURNED / AND MANEUVERED TO GET THEM OFF PAST THE TURBO COOLING FANS ALONG WITH REMOVING THE TAIL LIGHT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET... THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT A NEW REGULAR SEALED LEAD / ACID BATTERY ( DRY CHARGED ) WILL BE INCLUDED WITH HER AND YOU CAN HAVE THE FUN OF REMOVING THE OLD LITHIUM BATTY AND PUTTING IN THE NEW BATTERY... PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PHOTOS... OPINIONS, DESCRIPTIONS, AND POINTS OF VIEW VARY WIDELY AMONG PEOPLE SO PLEASE MAKE YOUR OWN OBSERVATIONS AND EVALUATION AS EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS... THERE IS A SMALL CRACK ABOUT MIDWAY IN THE LEFT LOWER FAIRING MY KID BUMPED INTO IT WITH HIS LITTLE TV CHAIR... THE CRACK WOULD NOT SHOW UP IN A PHOTO ... HOWEVER ... THE FAIRING IS A BENELLI FACTORY MADE INJECTION MOLDED ( AS ARE ALL OF HER FAIRINGS ) LIGHT WEIGH ABS PLASTIC AND CAN BE EASILY BACKSIDE GLUED... NEW FAIRINGS AND ANY OTHER ACCESSORY ITEMS ARE READILY AVAILABLE FROM A GERMAN DEALERSHIP IN THE EVENT THAT A PUREST WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THIS FAIRING ? ... THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE OR SCRATCHES TO REPORT... AND... ALL OF THE BODY WORK IS COVERED WITH EASILY REMOVABLE 3 M CLEAR PLASTIC PROTECTIVE FILM.SHE IS AN ALL FACTORY ORIGINAL BIKE AND SHE RUNS STRONG AND HANDLES BEAUTIFULLY EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD, NO SMOKE, NO WOBBLES, NO LEAKS... TIRES HAVE ABOUT 1/4 INCH OF TREAD ... SHE ALSO HAS ADDED GREEN AND YELLOW LED HIGH LIGHTING ... THE HEADLIGHTS ARE HIGH VOLTAGE HID LIGHTS SHE HAS AN OPEN CLEAR CALIFORNIA TITLE SO SHE MEETS CALIFORNIA CARB REQUIREMENTS... THIS BABY WILL COME WITH A PRINTED OUT IN ENGLISH FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUAL ... I ALWAYS BUY ONE FOR EACH OF MY BIKES... TWO SETS OF ORIGINAL FACTORY KEYS, A NEW DRY CHARGE LEAD / ACID BATTERY... AND SHE IS DRIPPING WITH MANY... PRO-FIBER .COM CARBON FIBER PARTS... AND... SHE WEARS LIGHT WEIGHT ( FORGED ?) MARCHESINI WHEELS FRONT AND REAR FOLLOWING THE CUSTOM WITH ALL NON DEALERSHIP BIKES SHE IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED SALE IS FINAL... BECAUSE IT TAKES A LEAP OF FAITH TO BUY ABSENT AN IN PERSON INSPECTION I WILL GLADLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND WILL WORK WITH ( AT YOUR EXPENSE ) A THIRD PARTY INSPECTION SERVICE... ALL SHIPPING COSTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND I WILL HELP WITH LOADING ( I HAVE A 2 X 10 FOOT RAMP AVAILABLE ) I WILL ALSO SAFELY STORE THIS BABY AT NO CHARGE FOR SAY TWO MONTHS, GIVE OR TAKE, IF THERE ARE ANY SHIPPING DELAYS DUE TO BUG19... I'M AN OLD SCHOOL GUY AND THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE PAYMENT MEANS ARE YOUR GOOD PERSONAL CHECK, CASHIER'S CHECK, OR PERSONAL CHECKS DRAWN ON YOUR HOME EQUITY OR CREDIT CARD LINE, OR CASH IN PERSON... I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY MEANS OF PAYMENT FOR ANY PORTION OF THE SELLING PRICE... DUE TO BUG19 PLEASE ALLOW TEN BUSINESS DAYS FOR PERSONAL CHECKS TO CLEAR AND FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FOR A CASHIER'S CHECK ... SORRY I WAS STUNG ONCE BEFORE.THIS BENELLI WAS BUILT BEFORE THE BENELLI COMPANY WAS TAKEN OVER AROUND 2012 BY A CHINESE MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURER, SO SHE IS A MORE DESIRABLE ORIGINAL ITALIAN BUILD BIKE... I LOVE TO TALK MOTORCYCLE SO PLEASE DO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR IF HERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW REGARDING THIS BIKE... I'LL ANSWER YOUR EMAILS PROMPTLY... THESE ARE JUST FANTASTIC BIKES AND WHEN OTHER BIKERS SEE HER THEY WILL WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS BIKE ... ALL OFFERS ARE WELCOME... THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST... BOUNCE... does any one see the questions that I have been asked and my answers?... nothing shows up on my screen ???... thanks... A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE BENELLI AFICIONADO ADVISED / EMAILED ME THAT THE CARBON FIBER MUFFLER IS NOT A FACTORY MUFFLER... I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS... THE MUFFLER BRAND IS A QUILL-X MUFFLER... MUST HAVE COST AN ARM AND A LEG TO BUY... MY APOLOGIES FOR THIS ERROR... PLEASSE EMAIL QUESTIONS RATHER THAN CALLING... THANKS
