    Never heard of it before. It looks like an Italian Grom with a dash of baby MV Agusta Brutale styling. It seems Benelli are really trying to capture the convenient motorcycle commuter market. As with any Italian brand in the USA (except perhaps Ducati) I'd be worried about dealer support and parts availability.

    The Benelli name is owned by a Chinese corporation.

    A friend has one and he likes it

    I like the price, that's what the Groms should be...

    Sabre699 Wait...hold my beer.

    Actually quite stylish for a Euro-Chinese bike.
    I like the upright motorcycle looking cylinder rather than the mini look.
    The header and muffler/can has got to go.
    The price says it all. Parts availability?

    I think the Groms and all of the little Grom wannabes are stupid.

    Which model did you get?
    I got the Felt Surplus-E 50 and I love it. I rarely ride my Intense 5.5 EVP now.
    I attempted to put a deposit on a Luna Apex several months ago, but they wouldn't take my money.

    I was gonna make a joke about them using an asian on such a small bike for advertising but this kinda killed it.

    two friends have them (haven't had a chance to ride one yet) but they are just a hair bigger than the Grom. Little bit more power, and a 5 speed transmission. Wife likes the looks, might get one for her in the future.

    There's two dealers around the ATL area (WOW and Gainesville Motorsports last I checked) so might go check one out soon.
