Being able to do a stoppie easily is always a sign that a brake system is working well :-)

Interesting site, with lots of pictures how the Benelli looks like "under the plastics".

Last post on that thread is August 1. A shame as they were mentioning some future modifications. They certainly don't like the welding job on the gas tank "油箱到处可见未经打磨的“焊屎”！Something about "welding feces"?

"Business Development Manager Joel Kusuma Benelli Motor Indonesia explained that preparation of the launch of Benelli motorcycle brand in Indonesia is currently being prepared carefully. "If there is no obstacle we will launch in February," he explained, Monday (16/1).
However, the exact date of arrival of the motor is in the country should wait for certainty schedule Benelli Italian officials, who planned to be also present at the ceremonial launch of Benelli in Indonesia.
At first, Benelli will be fielded three major motor models such as the Benelli Cafe Racer 1130, Century Racer Benelli 899 and Benelli Tre-K 1130, which is also prepared to pave the way Benelli in Indonesia.

Hi there, I have a friend who has just bought the Benelli Silverblade 250 maxi scoot. I saw it in the flesh last Sunday. After a quick little ride around, I found that it is quite a lively scoot, but very short in wheelbase compared with my Jetmax, and Burgman Executive(s). The wheels are 14" front and rear. The cubby in front is really small and very shallow, can't stash much in it. The key release mechanism for the seat is quite temperamental, I couldn't get it to unlatch the seat, but my friend could. The top-n-tail design of the high versus low beam lights is really different. Air filter sits on the left side of the rear swingarm unlike the Jetmax's airfilter positioned under the forward portion of the seat - design.

I think that overall though the handling is quite good, and would definitely be more suitable for riding round town and dealing with stop & start traffic than a BJ600/QJ600 would. You won't have to worry so much about gears, clutch and the grabbing of a chain final drive. YMMV.
My same friend has 3 BJ600's sitting in his garage, owned by his nephews. They don't ride them around town/city... instead they use scooters for that type of riding.

That looks very weird damage, with the pistons rather intact (sort of), but the conrod bent like that....
What happened?

[TexasAggie]

That has to be some sort of Hydro lock issue. Water or coolant leaked into the cylinder and water does not compress.

That has to be some sort of Hydro lock issue

That was my initial thought as well, but no start motor will have the force to do such damage with one of the chambers "locked", and it can't fill up so quick during normal running.

Or it was a catastrophic valve failure, the valves blocking the piston from rising.
That might happen when you rev engines in neutral at their rpm limiter for a longer time.
Seems a popular doing on youtube and youkou.

Must be a lot more behind this story ... very interesting to know ...
