Yeah I get; 'it can't be any good if it only costs that', 'that bike is so-so' with no mention why, or 'it's really good'. Although If the Benelli proves reliable I reckon the it will sell, because it's cheap enough, but at the same time exotic enough to end up in the garages of many people that hardly ever ride, like my neighbor who has a dragstar he rode twice last year down to the shops.

It could work if you made sure everyone had licenses and safety equipment, got four laps each, and paid for extras. You might need to breath test riders in the afternoons!
