Summary

[edit]
Description

The Benelli 750 Sei is a motorcycle that was produced by Italian manufacturer Benelli from 1972 to 1978. It was the first production motorcycle with a 6-cylinder engine.[2] The engine was based on the four-cylinder Honda CB500, but with two extra cylinders.[3] The cylinder head fins of the Sei were squared off to provide a cosmetic individuality, but otherwise the engine is in most respects obviously derived from the Honda. The "angular, bold design" was by Carrozzeria Ghia.[4]

Despite the extra cylinders, the Sei's width was kept to a minimum by siting the alternator (which, on the Honda, is at the left-hand end of the crankshaft) behind the cylinders. Cooling was improved by having air passages between the cylinders; the Sei had three Dell'Orto VHB 24 mm carburetors (the Honda CB 500 had four, for four cylinders).[3] After four years of production during which they sold 3,200 Sei models, Benelli developed the 750 Sei into a 900 cc motorcycle, with six-into-two exhausts, but built less than 2,000 of them.
