A black flag isn't something that's particularly exciting, especially if you're into racing. Being waved a black flag while out on track means you're being directed to head back to the pit due to a safety infraction or an issue with your vehicle. Meanwhile, out on the open sea, seeing a ship with a black flag heading your way could very well mean your days are numbered.
Indeed, a black flag is a sign of not-so-good things, but this hasn't stopped Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Benda from calling its newest cruiser the Black Flag. I get it, Benda's trying to be cool by adopting what it thinks is a badass naming convention, so instead of nitpicking at the cruisers name, let's just talk about its specs. For starters, its unlike any other cruiser in the market right now, as it has a V4 engine. Not just any V4 engine, though, but a 500cc V4. It's really interesting that Benda has opted for such a strange engine configuration on a cruiser, as small V4 engines have been found on sportbikes in the past.
