Benelli Leoncino

At the 2015 EICMA motorcycle show, Benelli had pulled a rabbit out of its hat by unveiling four new motorcycles all of which were India-bound. Out of the four, the one that cought the attention of the indian consumer was the LeoncinoScrambler, which admittedly was among the prettiest motorcycles unveiled at the bike show. A year down the line, the Italian bikemaker launched the Leoncino and thankfully, it retains its original swelte form. Designed by CentroStile Benelli, the Leoncino is actually a reimagination of one of the marquee’s most beloved brands albeit with a retro-modern styling. The curvy fuel tank, round headlight, stubby mudguard and floating tail section make it an attractive looking motorcycle. The design highlight has to be the Lion of Pesaro which sits atop the front mudguard. The seat hieght is 815mm while dry weight is 170kilos which is light fro a motorcycle of this segment. In fact it weighs as much as the Ducati Scrambler.
