BENELLI 750 Sei (1975-1976) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Benelli Sei was a series of motorcycles produced by Benelli and masterminded by Alejandro de Tomaso from 1973 until 1989. The motorcycles were delivered in 750 and 900cc displacements, while the 750cc model was the first production motorcycle with a six-cylinder engine.

In 1975, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Benelli 750 Sei, a naked motorcycle in its third consecutive production year, featuring the same technical, performance, and visual characteristics as previous ones without any changes whatsoever.

The 1975 Benelli 750 Sei's power characteristics were crafted by a 748cc four-stroke six-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered 76 hp at 9,000 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission with a wet clutch redirected the engine's energy to the rear wheel via a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to 204 kph (127 mph).

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as wire-spoke wheels, a three-into-three exhaust system with three silencers mounted on each side, a chromed front fender, a round headlight upfront, and a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted Sebac shock absorbers on the rear, bolted to a steel frame, offering optimum handling characteristics.

As for the braking performance, the motorcycle's wheels were equipped with two 300 mm brake rotors tied to dual-piston calipers on the front and a 200 mm drum unit on the rear, providing optimum braking power.
