Oldies - Delphisa - 10-20-2014

First week-end of this month I stayed in my village, no need to move for seeing interesting things, we had the visit of a few hundred of old cars and bikes. See [url=https://picasaweb.google.com/jp.sembely/2014_10_05AnciennesAuFontanil?authuser=0&feat=directlink]My photos selection

Two bikes with in-line four catched particularly my attention : a 1972 CB750 Honda, and a FN (model M50, 750 cc, 1923 - I think).

I had a talk with owner of the CB750, about the paint color : I don't remember there were CB with this nice grey, he told me he doesn't either, but he thinks in some coutry, at some moment, this color has been available... Anyway, he likes it ! Wink

Also A Benelli in-line 6 was present (about 1973 or 1975)

Simply gorgeous 750 Honda SOHC .... Dual disc front brake too!

The Benelli looks new. I know where there is 3 of them sitting in a warehouse rotting away. Owner won't sell anything.

Dang! A Benelli SEI!!!!!!!!!!!
Mercy.....one of my must-haves before I go to that great highway in the sky! Big Grin Thumbs Up Biker
If my old brain recalls correctly, was it not based on a Honda CB500/550 Four?
Benelli..............It just screams Italian exotica...........
Not quite to the level as MV Augusta, but just as desirable; to me anyway. Heart
