A pure cafe racer built on the legendary Italian Benelli 900 Sei has been created by Portuguese workshop Unik Edition. The 900 Sei, the first production motorcycle to pack a six-cylinder engine, was a defining classic of the 1970s, and this radical reinterpretation is turning heads.

Putting your hands on a 900 Sei honestly takes some nerve - history itself, as the first mass-produced inline-six, is your raw material. I respect the guts it took for Unik Edition to reinterpret it as a cafe racer. Instead of putting a legend on display in a museum, dragging it back out onto the modern road. That's exactly what it means for a bike to be culture.

Is the 900 Sei that famous a machine? First time I've heard the name.

In the 1970s, Benelli released the world's first production motorcycle with a 6-cylinder engine - it was a pretty shocking presence at the time.

A one-off custom like this probably can't even be priced - a world you can't touch even if you're interested.

I'm curious about the technical work of how they fit a 70s inline-six engine into a café racer frame.

Modifying a legendary machine as the base gives me mixed feelings too, wondering if it hurts the original's value.

Isn't there also an argument that it's better to keep it running properly rather than let it sit dormant and unused?

I'd love to just hear the sound of a 6-cylinder café racer - it must have a genuinely unique tone.

The 900 Sei is a legendary machine with the first production inline-six, so choosing it as the base shows real taste.
