Aggressive look for new Benelli
The all-new Benelli Due 756 will go on sale next year.

With around 100bhp, radial brakes, fully adjustable suspension front and back and aggressive styling this is a serious motorcycle.
Priced at around €8,000, this bike will be on show later this year.
It has a predicted release date of early 2010.

A new Honda Retail Centre will open on March 30th in Ballymount, in south Co Dublin, in Honda Ireland’s headquarters complex.
