The new Benelli BN600R is designed around a modern engine built to meet the needs of customers from countries with motoring cultures that range from newcomer to highly sophisticated. As such, the engine has to be solid and reliable, and able to guzzle the cheapest fuels from South America without protest. The Benelli 600 four-cylinder is also a little thicker and heavier than its Japanese competitors, which partly explains the bike’s dry weight in excess of 440 pounds.
