presentation of the Tornado 1130 2010
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.

I'd like to know what the two fans under the saddle are for?
Sincerely Rating : 5/5 Respond to Ludo
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.
Romain from MP Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
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. Rating : 5/5 Respond to TOF
in the meantime, long live the japs (whose price keeps going up ossi over the years) :-( Rating : 5/5 Respond to bikerboy
