Hi mates!!
Here is the review from the Aussie!!
Italian motorcycle maker Benelli has taken the wraps off the BN600, a new middleweight four-cylinder naked bike that will make its public debut at the 2012 Milan motorcycle show, EICMA.
Unlike many Benelli's that are powered by three-cylinder engines, the new BN600 makes use of a four-cylinder 600cc engine outputting 82hp (60kW) at 11,500rpm and 51Nm at 10,500rpm.
The liquid-cooled four-stroke engine is a fuel-injected unit with twin cams, 38mm throttle bodies, and is hooked up to a six-speed manual gearbox via wet clutch. The bike's innards are held together by an upper steel trellis, lower aluminium plate frame, and the aesthetic is appealing.
The bike also appears to feature twin undertail exhausts and some plastic cladding below the fuel tank for visual flair.
When Chinese-based Qianjiang Group took over Italian motorcycle maker Benelli in 2005, it was expected the company would invest in design and development and we'd see a number of fresh new Sino-Italian bikes on the market. This hasn't happened, but the new Benelli BN600 is a positive sign and represents a 'safe' option for the bike maker, as middleweight naked bikes are hugely popular in Europe, Benelli's primary market.
Suspension for the bike comprises 50mm upside-down forks and basic rear shock mounted to the right of the frame, while 320mm radial front brakes appear to be clamped by four-pot calipers.
The entry-level Benelli naked bike appears to be an 'affordable' model and is likely to be offered in Australia in late 2013.
The BN600 has a 16 litre fuel tank, 17-inch wheels and is offered in white, black and orange colours.

2013 Benelli BN600
Innate Talent...
Talent, ambition, sporting appeal. Here is the new Benelli 600cc: BN 600, the long awaited four-cylinder bike of the Pesaro-firm arrives to Italy with the aim to satisfy the wishes of the most demanding riders who also pay attention to price.
BN 600 is not the same old 600. The heart of the BN 600 is its innovative inline four-cylinder 4 stroke engine, liquid cooled, double overhead camshaft and 4 valves for each cylinder. The engine, with electronic injection and four ø 38 mm throttle bodies, delivers a power of 82 hp (60 kW) @ 11.500 rpm and max. torque of 52 Nm @ 10.500 rpm. Wet sump lubrication, wet clutch, 6 speeds gearbox and final chain drive. A successful recipe conceived and developed meticulously over the years to get a smooth and compact engine to entertain even the less skilled riders.
Rough edges, energetic and slender, BN 600 boasts essential, extremely aggressive features. The strong point of this new Benelli is the comfortable riding position, which makes handling easy and agile, allowing the racer to focus entirely on sheer enjoyment. The sound of BN 600 is unmistakably unique, genuine Benelli.
The naked frame is made of an upfront steel trestle and an aluminium structure at the rear suspension link, a guarantee of reliability under all circumstances. Suspension system is made of an upside-down front fork ø 50mm and a rear aluminium alloy swingarm with rear shock absorber in extension hydraulic and spring preload adjustment to tackle uneven pavements with total ease.
Top quality braking system with front ø 320 mm twin floating disk and radial callipers and rear ø 240 mm single disk with double piston calliper. Aluminium alloy 17’’ rims with 120/70 and 180/55 tyres, which ensure safety even in the most difficult situations, and 15L fuel tank.
BN 600 is presented in the colours white, black, orange and grey and will be available starting by mid-2013 at a really competitive price.
