1975 Benelli 750 Sei

In 1971, sports car magnate Alejandro De Tomaso purchased Benelli, and set about a plan was to create a motorcycle that would elevate the Benelli brand a creator of truly special bikes, something people would talk about and aspire to own. He handed the task to his engineers, who in a short space of time created a 500cc 4-cylinder and a 750cc 6-cylinder that breathed through three 24mm Dell’Orto VHB carburetors, each mounted on an aluminium Y-manifold feeding two cylinders.

In essence De Tomaso wanted the two-wheeled equivalent of his Pantera sports car, an exotic coupe powered by a Ford V8. Almost immediately, Benelli’s engineers came up with the 750 Sei, and in the fall of 1972, De Tomaso unveiled it at the Canalegrande Hotel in Modena, Italy. Featuring sharp, angular styling to the fuel tank, side covers and fenders penned by Carrozzeria Ghia, and six chromed exhaust headers with three mufflers stacked on each side of the motorcycle, the 750 Sei demanded attention. When De Tomaso thumbed the starter button and fired the 71 horsepower six, and revved it up a couple of times, the audience was captivated. Today, 46 years later, collectors the world over see the Benelli Sei as a must have for every enthusiast of Italian motorcycles.
