Ignore the 750SS in the foreground. Just got four Benellis in today.

I lusted after the Tornado for many years.

How much do those go for?

How would you say it compares to a Speed Triple?

The salesman said about $15k. None of us have ridden on or even started one yet so I can't give you any opinion as to road manners. The ergonomics are similar. Benelli claim about 134 hp to Triumph's 129 claimed. If it rides like the 1050 it will be stupid fun. I am sold on the 1050 engine.

The TNT in the photo is the Cafe Racer. It is a dark tangerine pearl with a metallic dark maroon frame. I'm a sucker for that kind of weird color combinaion.

Thanks. I've been a triple fan since i got my Tiger, and Benelli's always been a brand i've been really curious about. Can't find any here. Maybe i'll ride down there one of these days to check those out. Any excuse for a lil trip

Edit: Damn, that looks meaner than a Speed Triple.

You do know they're called Benerri nowadays.

fullmonte · 04-11-2007, 12:36 PM

How many months for parts to get here?

Hopefully, under new Chinese ownership that lag time will be shortened to an acceptable level.

And this one is owned by a United Airlines mechanic.

Anorak · 04-11-2007, 07:23 PM

By the way, I heard the TNT run. It sounds mean. The guy who test rode it liked it a lot.

Arch · 04-11-2007, 07:47 PM

A friend bought this one while we were at Daytona a couple of years ago...

The man himself (right) at our Ducati list Bike Week bash...

A very nice fellow. Sorry for the hijack, just love to see these preserved. Back to Benellis, this one belongs to another friend...

Unfortunately, some sort of camchain tensioner problem led to it's engine turning itself inside out earlier this year. I've been out of state travelling for work for a couple of months now, so dunno what's happening with it as of late.

My dealer has brought in a couple of leftover Tre's at Japanese liter bike prices. He has two used Tre LE's with under 1,000 miles on them also. I took the first of the leftovers. They also had demo days last weekend. I had previously ridden their Cafe demo but the TNT spor tis the cats meow
