The Benelli Tre 900 Tornado Novecento was a powerful, fully faired, Italian-built motorcycle that debuted in 2003. The bike was created to suit the tastes of riders who wanted the most performance from their Benelli motorcycle.
In 2004, the Italian maker released the Benelli Tre 900 Tornado Novecento, a sports motorcycle in its second production year, packing the same technical, visual, and performance characteristics without modifications.
The motorcycle was manufactured around a mix of aluminum and steel frame, housing the suspension system, which comprised an adjustable Ohlins telescopic fork on the front and an aluminum swingarm with an adjustable Ohlins shock absorber on the rear.
As for the braking power, the bike's 17-inch wheels were equipped with two 320 mm brake rotors on the front and a 240 mm brake disc on the rear. The brake discs were clamped to four-piston calipers, offering excellent braking performance.
The 2004 Benelli Tre 900 Tornado Novecento had installed an 898cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine underneath its clothes, delivering a power output of 140 hp with a peak at 11,500 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 8,800 rpm.
The bike was fitted with standard fittings such as a full fairing, a vertical single headlight unit, a small windscreen, a digital and analog instrument panel, a two-piece dual seat, a three-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and six-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
