Benelli Sei 750
The Worlds' first production cylinder motorcycle.
Up for sale is my gorgeous 1976 Benelli Sei - styling by Ghia and real 1970's icon. 
6 cylinders, exhaust pipes, Borrani flanged alloy wheels, Marzocchi forks and the original factory paintwork. Original switchgear (unusual on these) and the original rear shocks double row rear chain too.
With Dellorto carbies and over 70 bhp at up to 9,000 RPM, the sound that these bikes makes has been compared to V12 Ferrari. 
She is running, rideable and registered (Club permit in Victoria) and starts on the button and of course, she sounds like nothing else!
The bike has just had new battery and new headlight, plus the front brake master cylinder has been overhauled with new Brembo kit. Comes with copy of the Benelli service manual on USB drive
My Benelli is 'survivor' (as the Americans call them) and has not been restored. She has lovely (& factory original) paintwork, and low mileage of 6,317. The alloy wheels are unmarked, although the spokes show signs of age and tarnishing an easy fix if it bothers you.
The expensive and very hard to find into exhaust system is again the factory original and is in very good condition, the chrome being little thin on some mufflers from polishing over the years. 
Again, if you're after perfect set, these can easily be rechromed, but are good looking as they are. Or, have full set of new exhausts that will offer at extra cost to the new owner if they want them. But if not, then will offer the complete into set in later auction.
The frame tag shows the frame number as 7258 with the build date of April 1976 and the frame stamp by the headstock is DGM 13053 OM. 
The engine number is BC *007280* It's difficult to make this out as it's on pad behind the alternator, but I'm pretty sure that's it (might be 007230). From the factory, the engine frame numbers did not match when the bikes were built, but they should be reasonably close similar to Japanese bikes back in the day.
The photos tell the story on the bike and inspection is welcomed. Any questions please get in touch and I'll do my best to answer them. 
My last classic bike (a Rickman Interceptor) sold really quickly and before the end of the auction so bid early!
Thanks for looking and good luck.
