New Bike Day

RKG83 · 12-14-2019, 02:22 AM

Picked up a 2019 Benelli 135 with 600 miles, still under warranty from the dealer. Drove four hours to get it from a private owner but well worth it for only $1700.

Had sold my Boom for $1500 so was looking for a new Bike.

Congrats on the bike. Have you seen the article or video when Motorcycle.com entered a 24 hour minibike endurance race on a Benelli?

No I haven’t, a good watch?

I am on my phone so cannot link. The article was linked here on Chinariders last year, but I am sure if you google motorcycle.com and 24 hour race and Benelli, it should come up. The video is from the race, but the article got into them prepping the bike and all that stuff. I would suggest reading the article and then watching the race afterwards. I got intrigued myself because I lived out in the L.A. area where this particular minibike racing organization is near (L.A. is huge, so it was far away, but not hundreds of miles far) and knew that Lifan has a race version of its KP Mini 150. Of course lack of time and fellow riders in the L.A. area prevented me of pursuing this year's 24 hour race, but I might move back...family reasons NOT California's political climate, lol.
