Hi all. Does anyone know what's happened to the Benelli website www dot benelli dot com? The American site is still operating (benelli-america dot com) but the European one has disappeared. Hope Benelli aren't in trouble (again). Cheers.

It's www.benelliusa.com and you are in the wrong thread. I will get someone to move you to the correct thread.

Benelli was my first dealership back around '72. They made a good bike (especially the 175cc Enduro) They made an unusual street legal 65cc side hack that I sold a couple of. I put many miles on & off road with a 65cc mini-enduro. Their 65cc Dynamo mini-bike was the top seller at right around $250. I've tried to find info on them without much success.

Benelliusa is rifles. This is a motorcycle forum! And I want Europe, not America. :-)

Good forum. Guess what? For some reason the website is now benelli dot co uk. So we have a Chinese-owned company with R&D in Italy, and now a British website!

Nice road bikes on there, they seem to all have that 3 cyl in line.

PS: I just have to say I love 'Flight of the Conchords'.

Yeah, the interesting thing is that there was a 2-cyl 750 shown on the old website, which is not on the new one. Must've been developmental or experimental. And there's something you just gotta love about the Conchords! Thanks mate.
