== Overview == | |||
At a first glance you immediately know that this is | |||
no Japanese machine and doesnt even intend to get close to that image | |||
considered by many simple and uninspiring. What the two Benelli models try doing | |||
is individualizing themselves in the world of stylish, aggressive and powerful | |||
three-cylinder powered machines. Relying on their fuel-injected 899cc | |||
liquid-cooled, three-cylinder, four-stroke, twelve-valves, DOHC engines and on | |||
the versatile chassis to conquer the aimed market segment, both the normal and | |||
the s versions of the Benelli Tornado Naked Tre 899 will have to fight the | |||
finesse, heritage and immediate attraction that come with the name Triumph. | |||
This takes us to the bikes strongest and most | |||
challenging competitor. It is quite difficult to set the Tornado against either | |||
the Speed Triple 1050 or the Street Triple 675 because Benellis 899ccs position | |||
it just between the two as an option for potential customers who search for a | |||
middle way. | |||
But it is well worth taking in consideration the fact that the Triumph Street | |||
Triple, a naked motorcycle powered by the famous 675cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, | |||
in-line three-cylinder engine being fed through a multipoint sequential | |||
electronic fuel injection develops an incredible 107bhp compared with Benellis | |||
114bhp. I reckon that the extra displacement doesnt pay off in the case of the | |||
subjects of todays review, but their efforts couldnt have been unappreciated | |||
as the results are quite remarkable. | |||
Clearly setting it apart from the recently-appeared competitor are the British | |||
bikes compactness, style and proved road abilities, while the Tornados would | |||
have to prove that through the test drive opinions and the number of salves. | |||
Until getting a feel of the bike, we can just admire | |||
its personality and aggressive character exposed through its radical design. We | |||
never underestimated the Italians talent when it comes to taking a white sheet | |||
of paper and turning it into an entire generation of bikes, but this is one | |||
demonstration of power. In fact two, I could say as there are clear design | |||
differences between the Tornados Naked Tre 899 and the Tornado Naked Tre 899s. | |||
The first is a roadster featuring an angry looking headlight, wide and yet small | |||
side fairings painted in the colors of the gas tank. Their purpose is to uncover | |||
to our eyes the source of entertaining, I mean the three-cylinder engine and the | |||
exhausts way under the seat. | |||
Having a massive 17 | |||
Liters | |||
gas tank, the Tornado clearly indicates the fact that it was built for | |||
sport-touring, only that it misses a wind-protective front fairing and | |||
windshield which is a thing pretty much expected from Italian bikes as | |||
nakedness is the key to their entire success. | |||
The seat looks well accommodating and at 780mm above ground, it is perfect for | |||
the average sized rider and if you were expecting for it to have a suddenly | |||
ending rear end, well it has it and it doesnt. There is enough room for the | |||
passengers but there, but it looks like the rear end of a fully-faired | |||
previous-generation Japanese bike. | |||
Wheels on both models feature 17 in diameter and the difference between the | |||
simple and the s model is the fact that this last comes painted in an | |||
aggressive orange paint scheme it is more compact and implicit better | |||
handling. | |||
