BENDA: The all-new motorcycle brand promises innovative riding experiences for a new generation as the first three models arrive in UK dealers starting from £5,199.
The long-awaited BENDA motorcycle brand has arrived at UK motorcycle dealers, launching with three models; the V-twin powered classic-style cruiser Chinchilla 500 and girder-forked bobber, Napoleonbob 500. Last but not least is the bold-styled four-cylinder sport cruiser, the LFC700.
BENDA was formed with a mission to create motorcycles that redefine the ride, combining new dimensions of performance through technology with striking design, for a new generation of daring riders. The first three models to arrive in the UK make a bold statement and are available at 20 dealers, each carrying a two-year, unlimited mileage warranty.
BENDA is distributed in the UK by Lancashire-based MotoGB. General Manager, Matt Kay, said: “The arrival of BENDA into the UK introduces an exciting new manufacturer who is driven to explore uncharted territories and push boundaries. We hope BENDA’s commitment to blazing new trails in design and technology to capture a bold sense of adventure will inspire the next generation of riders as well as existing riders wanting something new and different.”
