The Italian maker intends conquering motocross
riders with its brand new creation which name sounds like the one of a Citroen
car, but has nothing to do with it at all. The BX 449 Cross, like its name says
is fitted with a carefully engineered 449cc single-cylinder four stroke DOHC
four titanium valve engine and a five-speed gearbox. It is good for a start and
considering its looks, there is nothing to keep it from climbing the success
mountain immediately.
Competition
Benelli had definitely knew what it was getting
itself into as all its competitors were already good and rolling expecting for
somebody new on the scene to smash. But I have a small feeling things won’t be
going that way and Benelli will get out of 2008 not only with a clean face, but
with a decent fan club too.
Clearly, its fiercest competition comes from Japan under the names every bike
manufacturer is afraid of, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki.
