i agree the benelli is not a race bike , but it is the closest chinese engine to the high revving compact 4 pot design
so what else can you compare it to?

a sled is a bike which has good carrying capacity and i have owned a few of those myself
no offence intended

The V-Strom has a six-speed transmission with a fuel-injected and slightly retuned 645 cc engine from Suzuki's SV650 sport bike, using a two-into-one exhaust system.[9] An upright, standard riding posture contributes to the bike's handling characteristics. "wiki"

i usually just pay attention to a new design as it comes ,not every variation of the theme
again no offence intended

as for the benelli i have no intention of buying one or any bike like it, japanese or otherwise.

i like chinese bikes and i think the amount of work required to get them to a decent standard is well offset buy the low price
i agree that if you were paying the labour in a western country it wouldnt be worth the hassle

but i am here in china and i was an aircraft mechanic for 20 years
so no trouble to keep a bike going eh

i hope anybody who does buy one of these things gets a good run out of it

zhu over and out
