Did these four cylinder Benellis ever make it to the U.S. or were these for Europe only?
504 Sport
354 Sport. I like the fairings, looks like they came from a first generation Moto-Guzzi Lemans. That has to be one of the smallest sized four cylinder engines. I know Honda made a CB350 four.

IIRC, Benelli only had a short run in the US, around 76-81ish and haven't been imported since. They were pretty small even in Italy.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I saw a few of the small 4's in Italy at swap meets. I don't know if they were originally street models or not, all of them were done up in race kit. My gut feeling is that Benelli was so small back then that they didn't have a "corse" division, they just built stuff -- for street or race.

Very cool - no belts to change
I would love to try a gear driven design and build on a modern 2V ducati motor with the right time and tools.

It would be substantially heavier than the alu pulleys and rubber belts though, right? I don't think you would be able to make the pulleys aluminum and survive the wear against each other.

The sedici has gear driven cams - though I can't find a picture right now.
