The Benelli 500 Quattro
has a more than passing resemblance to the CB500, the motor is
pretty much a straight copy down to the bore & stroke, many
parts will interchange.
But, the Benelli has it's own flavor, early models had a nice
big drum brake on it and decent power and handling in true Italian
style.
The 500 Quattro on your left is another Kent Riches restoration.
The original was in ways a parts bin special so we don't feel
shy about fitting a Honda CR750 fairing and Norton Commando Production
Racer tank to it. Bellissima, no?
