Hi All, I'm just putting up a message to see if anyone would be keen to buy the Rs "if" I choose to sell it to fund a rather special purchase, I would prefer it go to a dedicated Italian bike fan if I did sell it.

Now the only reason I "may" sell it is because I may be able to get the Benelli factory to build me something rather special, and i would prefer to have the cash when i order it.
So I'm just seeing if anyone would be interested? I would like first option if they sold it later on. I have really never ever intended to sell it but the other plan has me sorely tempted

how much $$$$$$$$$

oh god, I need a tissue.....

$ wise I would accept no less than 21K, it cost 33.5K when new and its going to have over 2K's worth of gear on it.
You can get a new 1130cc Tornado for 26K but it doesnt have forged rims, CF guards, lower spec rear suspension or an adjustable steering damper. that is if you can actually get a big bore Tornado, as the factory has just finished building them. they are working on they 09-10 new 1000 superbike and no more Tornado of any sort will be build anymore :-(

whoops sorry apparently its 27 K plus ORc for the 1130 Tornado, Theres a ad in the december Cycle torque for one, so at least they are here for sale, strangely enough the used a side on pic of the 02 limited edition in the ad, the new 1130 with the black frame and rims looks way better IMHO

Bennelli Tornado was a 2 cil 650?cc bone ratler with a HUGE finned drum front brake.
Thunderbikes have got one to do up

When you bought it you said you scored it for $21k?

YEp, that's right, add on the ti exhaust and other bits listed above and thats what its worth,, i know of two other RS's for sale ATM, and they'll cost more than what I'm asking. I cant help if I scored it for such a good price :-), I do rememer telling peeps on here I could have scored them a Base Tornado for 15K brand new still in the crate at the time, but no one put there hand up?
