I've gotten old and my bad back needs more suspension travel.

Cool Benelli Charles! I can see why you would like it.Thanks Ben. My back just can't handle the short travel suspension. I'm old and crunchy and this bike injures my back almost every time I ride it. Plus... I'm getting more and more into off-road riding, and I needed a lighter scrambler. I got a Benelli Leoncino Trail (500cc) back in February and I've barely ridden the SCR950 since. Almost 6 inches of rear suspension travel instead of barely 2 has made my dirt-roading and poorly-maintained asphalt riding a whole lot more fun.
Here are a few pics of the new bike:

It doesn't have the same kind of retro vibe as the SCR, but it's pretty to look at in a different way. I like how the functionality and the looks were both given equal weight for the Benelli. The SCR is more about looks than it is about being a competent scrambler. (Because it was never meant to be a scrambler, it was meant to be a cruiser).

Yeah, I do like those. I think I mentioned before, I met someone touring on one in Belgium a few years ago - cool looking bike.Thanks Ben. My back just can't handle the short travel suspension.

Congrats on the sale Charles. I wonder if the new owner will join the forum. And I hope you still check in once in a while.Also, I sold my bike today. New owner was well over 6 feet tall, and fit the bike a lot better than I did. He flicked it around under him like it was a 250. I wanted $5000 for it, but settled for $4600 if I put the stock exhaust back on. Which I did. So the SuperTrapp muffler and midpipe that I put so much time and money into building will be up for sale soon.
