Mohan, I wonder who masterminded the engine & overall design. Is it an European company sold to a Chinese co? Are the scooters used in Italy presently?
Aiyoh, google lah….
You will found that this is not sold in Italy. What they sold there is totally different. They have wide range of shotguns for customer to pick. From single barrel to double barrel. From manual, to semi auto….oh shoot, thats the ‘real’ Benelli.
On this Benelli, all the design from engine to body are done in Benelli office in Italy. How to prove this? Lets all agree the bike design is very appealing or ‘Italian’. Its totally not something we see from any other country.
The powertrain is also design by Italian people .The proof is simple, the powetrain problem is similar to what you get from any other Italian vehicle maker. They did use Yamaha engine on one of their early model….. one of the better engine they got but still comes with tempermental electrical issues which is built into anything Italian.
Basically an Italian guy in Italy emailed or upload the design to a Chinese guy to be build in China. Why the chinese dont force them to relocate in China? Maybe because its difficult to find pizza or spaghetti in the town where the Benelli China office are. I doubt an Italian guy can still comes out with an Italian design if he no longet have access to basic Italian needs.
Benelli got the best of both worlds — styled in Italy, manufactured in China. From a proud RFS150i owner.
Tak payah beli, naza import moto tak fikir maintenance berpanjangan. Lepas kau beli pandai2 lah cari kat oversea.
Bukan benelli under mforce ke?
Entah dia ni, main ckp je kata Naza, padahal Benelli ni mmg bawah MForce sudah beberapa tahun dah.
