Benelli Tre 900S Tornado (2000)

Benelli Tre 900S Tornado (2000)

The rebirth of Benelli has brought with it a new era of performance and innovation, embodied by the Tre 900S Tornado. This unconventional sportsbike boasts an aerodynamic design, thanks to its unique radiator placement under the seat, creating a slim frontal aspect that improves both speed and handling.

At its heart lies a 120 triple engine, equipped with a balance shaft for unparalleled smoothness, mounted within an innovative aerospace frame. With a liquid-cooled powerplant delivering 143bhp, this bike is a force to be reckoned with on the road or track.

The Tornado’s specification is nothing short of mouth-watering: full carbon-fibre bodywork, premium cycle parts, and a chassis that combines steel tubes and aluminium sections for optimal rigidity. With its Limited Edition run capped at 150 units, priced at €22,500 each, this bike promises to be an exhilarating experience for the lucky few who get behind the handlebars.

The Benelli Tre 900S Tornado is an uncompromising blend of style, performance, and engineering prowess that sets a new benchmark in its class.
