But its performance can leave you disappointed, especially for track days. Mind you when I had my bike “P” Plates, the choice was woeful. Your 250cc options were limited to a gutless four stroke or crazy RGV type  2-stroke (which I loved but couldn’t afford). I had a 1991 Honda XR250 that wouldn’t even do the speed limit on the highway. Conversely, the MT-07 will easily do 160km/h stock, so things are much better these days. So we took a brand new MT-07 LAMS bike and threw it on the dyno to see what it made, it pulled 42hp at the wheel. Adding a full exhaust system not only made that cross plane engine sound awesome but got rid of some serious weight too. Although power gains were modest at best, netting only 3 additional horsepower over stock. So we went about finding the ECU and analysing the stock tunefile to see where the restrictions were hiding.

Through weeks of research and development we pulled apart the tunefile and came up with a combination that profoundly transforms the MT-07 into a seriously fun machine to ride. The full exhaust really comes into play once the bike is de-restricted and correctly tuned via the ECU, ending up with 64.1HP at the rear and a massive 50% improvement over stock, making this bike – with its lower weight and purchase price, a serious contender for its bigger sibling, the MT-09. And I wouldnt mind betting I’d be quicker around the track on this modified bike than a stock MT-09… We have re-scaled the TPS voltage to fuel mapping so the bike will not throw FI codes when removing throttle restrictions, these maps have also be calibrated so that the fulling (AFRs) are correct in this part of the map, not running dangerously lean (this section of the map was not intended to be used by the Yamaha design engineers) May Not Comply With All Legislation BENELLI BN600 (2014-on) Review It’s priced competitively and looks good – but then so is Kawasaki’s ER-6N

600cc  -  80 bhp Medium seat height (800mm) Used: £4,700 to £4,800 See all BENELLI BN600s for sale On price alone the Benelli appears very tempting. It looks good, has some lovely Italian styling, and is a cool brand with some real kudos. The Brembo brakes, upside-down forks and nice little touches make it stand out in a competitive market. It doesn’t feel toy-like and has a big bike feel. Nor does it sound half-bad - there’s a bit of character in there trying to escape. At 220kg the BN is carrying some timber for a naked, entry-level 600 and you notice this weight as soon as you lift it off the side stand. The riding position feels sporty, slightly aggressive with the pegs set back slightly. Fuelling isn’t perfect though - it's snatchy on and off the throttle, while the revs don’t drop smoothly either. But the BN’s handling isn’t bad and the stopping power is rather good. Stability is excellent and the BN delivers a big bike feel which many owners will love.

The inline, four-cylinder, 16v engine is quite happy to rev and there’s a noticeable step in power at the top end. You don’t notice the poor fuelling as much in the upper reaches and you can start to have fun. There’s just enough power to loft the front in first gear with a whiff of clutch and it’s more than enough for new riders. But we still felt it lacked a little - 80bhp from a 600cc inline four pushing 220kg is not much to get excited about. Benelli have been making bikes for a long time but the BN600 is the first bike to come from them since since the takeover. 1000cc bike for sale in saIt feels well put together, but only time will tell.shark motorcycle helmets nz In this price-conscious market the Benelli’s first trick is price. motorcycle parts massillon ohio

The BN will come in cheaper than Suzuki’s Gladius or GSX650F and a full grand cheaper than Honda’s Spanish-built Hornet. Considering the budget price, the quality of the components used isn’t too shabby. Huge, locally-sourced Brembo radial brakes take care of the stopping power and the non-adjustable forks are upside-down 50mm items from Marzocchi, while the side-mounted rear shock is adjustable and by Sachs. On paper, the BN600 has a higher spec than most of the competition - can you name another bike under £5,500 with radial Brembo brakes and upside down forks?motorcycle tyres for bmw r1200rt 1 owner has reviewed their BENELLI BN600 (2014-on) and rated it in a number of areas.
