The Benelli Tre-K 899 is an unapologetic, aggressively styled naked motorcycle that defies comparison to its Japanese counterparts.
Its fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder engine pumps out a healthy 114 horsepower, while its versatile chassis provides a solid foundation for spirited riding.
With its radical design and bold character, the Tre-K 899 is poised to shake up the mid-size naked bike market, where it will inevitably face off against the likes of the Triumph Speed Triple and Street Triple.
But can Benelli’s entry into this highly competitive segment deliver on its promise?
