Are Benelli bikes big fat lemons....

[prince666]

A member on here just purchessed a Benelli BJ 600GS with only a reported 14.000km on the clock .

He's intention was to ride around China with this bike to visit the 12 most important mountain in China.

After riding a very few km around Beijing he sets off on his well planed dream ride.

After only 600km out of Beijing the bike starts to have gear changing problems with the end result with the gears locking up.

But this is not a man to give up he arranges the bike to be shipped back to Beijing at short notice and at great cost .
He has the bike repaired at great cost.

He restarts his epic ride only to get as far as Chengdu. .

Why ... the petrol tank has started leaking .

It's fair to say moving parts wear.... and no owner can be hold accountable even after a total if just over 20.000kn been clocked up on the bike.

I have been told I could be a drunk ??? But I don't drink.
I have been told I know nothing about bikes ? But I have 4 just now and just covered 46.000 km in one trip visiting 26 country along the way.
With all general repair carry out by me.

But the one thing I have certain about a petrol tank on a bike is not a moving part?

OR THERE SHOULD NOT MOVE.

So the Benelli BJ 600 GS gets the big fat Lemon vote from me.

WARNING to all owners you are riding a lemon not a bike.


WARNING to all sellers don't try and sell lemons on MCM.
This is a bike forum not a market.

Naff Said.
