Benelli 512M by Plan B Motorcycles
Plan B Motorcycles is a workshop based in Northern Italy, run by Christian Moretti, where they build classic handcrafted motorcycles. He describes the project of the The Benelli 512M, as a celebration of a very important and iconic machine, the Ferrari 512M Endurance car, a milestone in racing technology, projected in today's two wheels world. Here is the account from Christian Moretti about the build of the Benelli 512M as on planbmotorcycles.com: "The starting point of the build was a Benelli 354 Sport. I wanted an Italian bike to celebrate an Italian car as a bit of patriotism is not so bad every once in a while. The bike was in fair condition but had been left sitting in a dusty garage for almost twenty years. The 354s have a small frame and were also quite light for their era, but the small engine wasn't ever really a powerful performer, and by today's standard it was hopeless. So, before even starting the project, the whole block was swapped for a 500cc engine."
"Four flat slide
carburettors with custom velocity stacks work in harmony with the
new exhaust system. An unusual 4-into-1-into-2-into-4 with four HP
Corse hydroform silencer, all ceramic coated in white. You can't get
any more seventies than that!
"Because the 512M is a road going bike it features a side stand
that is also electronically actuated from the cockpit and when it's
not in use it stows away inside the aluminium belly pan. There's no
real technical reason for that just an added bit of wow factor. Source planbmotorcycles.com
