Motorcycle specifications Benelli Tornado 1130 2008 A tornado powered by TnT

presentation of the Tornado 1130 2008

The Italian storm is back on Europe's shores, and has taken care to increase the force of its gusts. With its 3-cylinder, 900 cm3 engine, the Tornado certainly offered a bewitching mechanical performance, but it was not up to the challenge of the super-powerful Japanese missiles. The battle was unequal, so we might as well cross some borders... And get the virulent boiler from the TnT roadster cousin. Benelli has not only installed the big three-cylinder in the trellis frame of its sports bike; it has also reworked it for more gniak at high revs. Developing 163 hp at 10,500 rpm and a generous 12.4 mkg of torque at 8,000 rpm, the transalpine mill should give the Tornado wings. Knowing the hot-blooded temperament of this moulbif in the roadster, we can expect a hell of a lot of spirit and torque. Apart from the brighter decorations and increased displacement, the 1130 differs little from the 900. It does, however, benefit from radial brake calipers, 25 more horsepower, and replaces the 900 in the manufacturer's catalog.

Hello
I'd like to know what the two fans under the saddle are for?

Romain Sibot

Hello,
It's the motorcycle's cooling system, in fact the radiator is located under the seat, and the fans create the air flow up to there.

Lancer Model 2010

Quite ugly, stupidly expensive, with unacceptable flaws at this price, and overweight by more than twenty kilos compared to Japanese models, and according to the test, performance not up to scratch: no thanks. 10/08/2006 07:59 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Lancer

TOF Model 2010

Can't wait to try it out
For the price it's barely €15,000, just above a Japanese. It's a no-brainer: at €1,000, I've chosen my clan. 04/23/2006 12:12 Rating : 5/5 Respond to TOF
