Benelli TNT 899 (2008 - 2009)

The Benelli TNT 899 – a machine that proudly declares its Italian heritage with every aggressive line and curve. Its 899cc liquid-cooled, three-cylinder engine packs a punch, delivering 114 horsepower to the rear wheel.

Its compact design and styling may not be as polished as its British competitors, but the Tornado’s raw power and character are undeniable. The question on everyone’s mind is whether Benelli can match the finesse and road-going prowess of its rivals.

But let’s not forget that this bike has been designed to carve out its own niche in the market – a middle ground between the Speed Triple 1050 and the Street Triple 675. And with its Italian flair and Benelli’s proven engineering, it just might do so.

This Italian stallion is ready to roar onto the scene, but will it be enough to take down its British rivals?
