2023 Bimota DB

The 2023 Bimota DB was a motorcycle manufactured by Bimota in Rimini, Italy. The First impression of Bimota DB 2023 is good. The Bimota DB is an awesome bike. The quality and attention to detail that has been given to make the DB are very impressive. The Bimota DB 2023  is as successful as Bimota’s first Ducati-powered bike, it will go a long way to restoring health after the 500 Vdue disasters. DB stands for Ducati Bimota, i.e the first Bimota powered by a Ducati engine compared to, for example, the SB3 – Suzuki, Bimota, the third design.

2023 Bimota DB Design

The shape 2023 Bimota DB was unusually organic with a High profile, narrowing into a square headlight enclosed in a bezel inspired by a Ferrari Daytona’s nose. The body seemed to flow from the headlight directly to the seat, closing the steering head and creating a straight line that gave the Mantra its unusual proportions. The 16-liter fuel tank was split into wings that flanked the frame, ostensibly to lower the center of gravity and provide more space for the long-distance downstream inlets raised from the 900SS while retaining a low silhouette. The electrical system was powered by a pair of 12-volt batteries wired in parallel, mounted above the front cylinder behind the oil cooler with the intake channel passing between them, as Bimota considered a single battery to be inadequate for application and two smaller units would be made easier to pack in design.

The 2023 Bimota DB was a curious signature of Bimota to run two 6-volt batteries in series to power a 12-volt system, so the Bimota DB seemed to update the strange practice. A small glove compartment was incorporated into the back of the tank in front of the seat. The clips were mounted on top of the top triple in four-inch lifts to give the required upright seating position. At the top of the cabin was an ostentatious burlwood wood control panel with an analog speedometer and tachometer surrounded by carbon fiber bowling pins. Despite the presence of only two cylinders, Lakic thought it appropriate to install four exhaust drums. A swoopy belly pan and a body-colored rear hitch completed the abbreviated bodywork, which was not wholly bare or closed, providing an insight into the mechanical operation of the machine while maintaining some protection from the wind.

2023 Bimota DB Reliability

The Bimota DB is a phenomenal handling machine and is a bit more agile and has faster steering than the Ducati 1098.  It’s a fickle beast to set up and is unlikely to be perfect for you from the box as the suspension needs care. Configuration to suit the weight and driving style of the rider. Once the fully adjustable ExtremeTech 2v4 rear shock absorber and 43mm Marzocchi Corse RAC forks are ready. The Bimota DB models came with Continental tires, which had no front feel or rear grip but are now equipped with Pirelli Super Corsa, which are excellent. Brembo Monobloc clamps would stop a high-speed train with sixpence, but it’s hard to use all its power, as it’s almost impossible to hold on with severe braking. The tank is too narrow to lock it with your knees, so you’ll need to use all your strength to stop with your arms, which can cause fatigue to the rider.

2023 Bimota DB Suspension

The front suspension was courtesy of the conventional 43 mm Paoli fork with Bimota signature, combined with a length-adjustable Paoli shock absorber at the rear. The geometry of the chassis was virtually the same as that of the DB2 with a steel grille despite being a completely new design wheelbase of 54 inches, a 24-degree rake, and 3.6 inches of travel. The 17-inch three-spoke Marchesini alloy wheels were shared with the Ducati 900SS, which contributed to the design. The brakes everywhere were, with four-piston axial mounting P4 clamps biting 320mm floating cast iron Brembo discs at the front and a caliper of two pistons with 230 mm rotor at the rear.

2023 Bimota DB Engine

The engine selected for the Bimota DB was an unmodified air-cooled 904 cc Ducati SOHC twin that would have powered the contemporary 900SS, the same unit that had been widely used in the DB2. With the Bimota costume, the 92x68mm evergreen twin was powered by a pair of 38mm Mikuni carburetors with its own airbox design. This configuration produced 86 hp and 66 lb/ft of torque on the crankshaft usually in the 70 hp range measured on the wheel, which was so close to the same numbers that Ducati claimed for the 900SS. Anyone who complained about the powertrain should have directed their anger at Ducati, not Bimota. Or whoever was in charge of specifying the carburetor installed in the factory.

A good move because the air-cooled 904 cc is an excellent engine and fits the Bimota DB perfectly. The best thing about DS is that it has enough time to be fun. Enough noise and vibration to have character. But it’s still soft enough to be one really good road bike engine. It’s not the fastest by far, but Ducati has focused on giving 904 a wide torque dispersion as well as a very smooth gearbox. In first gear, the instantaneous stroke is enough to lift the front wheel without trying and at all times there is always enough thrust. Unfortunately, the clutch is heavy. But DB is unlikely ever to be used as a passenger, it’s not really a problem.

 

 

2023 Bimota KB

The 2023 Bimota KB is a motorcycle built by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Bimota. The Bimota KB 2023 is the machine to emerge from the current management of Bimota, with the company largely owned by Kawasaki. The Bimota KB marks a return to the traditional denomination and a recipe much closer to the plan of the original business of the company.

2023 Bimota KB4

2023 Bimota KB4

It had long been certain that Bimota would use Kawasaki’s Z1000 SX drive for KB. With 142 PS and 111 Nm from 1,043 cubic meters, it has a lot of juice. The full chassis of the KB has changed significantly, and that’s no surprise either. At 1,390 millimeters, the wheelbase is 50 millimeters shorter than the SX. That would make it clear, that KB looks like a car. This allows for a very short and light rear frame. The KB will be a very light bike for the whole of Bimota. The Bimota KB weighs 194 kilos with a full tank, which makes it 41 kilos lighter than the Kawasaki.

2023 Bimota KB Design

The 2023 Bimota KB uses a tubular steel front panel section, combined with a rocker alloy pivot piece and a carbon fiber side panel, and is much lighter than the Ninja 1000SX from which it borrows the engine. The latest documents show that the approved weight of the Bimota, with a fuel tank, is only 194 kg. This is 41 kg lighter than the Ninja 1000SX in the same condition. The gear leads to an identical top speed of 155 mph, but the Bimota KB is sure to get there much faster. And on the corners, its dimensions suggest that it will knock down the heavier Kawasaki, not to mention many more powerful superbikes. The Bimota KB wheelbase is 1390 mm, less than 1440 mm from the Ninja, along with a 50 mm reduction in overall length and the same width reduction. The engine can be moved closer to the front wheel, allowing a more skewed forward weight distribution.

The Bimota KB can maintain a desirable long tilt while reducing the wheelbase and increasing the steering head angle. Although the radiator under the seat has not yet been confirmed, it should be noted that while posting pictures of the bike under test, Bimota did not give a clear view of the rear, where the radiator would be visible if it were mounted. under the seat. Evidence of the rad under the seat grows even more when looking at the unusually thick rear clamp, which would be needed with a rad under the seat to make sure no mud and stones are thrown at the fragile fins of the radiator. On some bikes, especially the Benelli Tornado, which was the last superbike to use a radiator under the seat, this problem is offset by the use of radiator exhaust pipes, but Bimota KB doesn’t seem to take that route, perhaps because it would make the seat unit bigger.

2023 Bimota KB Suspension

The front tire is a telescopic fork with 130mm travel. The rare tire swingarm and shock absorber with 122mm travel. The front is guided by a conventional USD fork, with no semi-active controls. Things get even more interesting in the back, the aluminum swingarm can be adjusted by an eccentric bearing to the pivot point, which could explain the unconventional position of the shock absorber on the swingarm: look backward and appears to be eccentrically mounted at the rear. upper screw eye. Braking is provided by two discs at the front and one disc at the rear. At the back is an electronically adjustable Ohlins mono-shock.

2023 Bimota KB Engine

The 2023 Bimota KB is powered by a 4-cylinder inline four-cylinder engine derived from the Kawasaki Z 1000 SX. The KB uses the Kawasaki Z1000’s 1,043 cc engine that produces 142 hp and 111 Nm. The Bimota KB engine is one of the sweetest in Kawasaki’s portfolio and has great firepower to propel a motorcycle at ridiculous speeds. However, except for the engine, the rest of KB seems to be entirely the work of Bimota engineers. So you can expect great configuration and handling of the motorcycle chassis. Bimota has also refrained from incorporating the exotic steering system in the center of the H2 Tesi cube and has instead opted for a relatively conventional USD fork at the front and a single shock absorber at the rear.

They are expected to be fully adjustable units manufactured by Ohlins. Also visible in the representation are the Brembo radial mounting clamps, possibly the Stylema top shelf or the Monobloc M50. One of the great attractions of any Bimota is its style and the representation suggests that it will be modern and adopts a retro design. The bubble-shaped fairing, the rounded headlight, the folds in the tank, and the tail section are inspired by the Bimota KB series from the 70s and 80s. The red and white paint scheme, with the golden stripes, adds a touchback. At first glance, no refrigerator disturbs the view of the collector system. The Kawa four is not air-cooled the radiator is located under the hump, directly above the rear wheel, and cooling air is supplied through the side air ducts.

 

2023 Bimota Tesi

The 2023 Bimota Tesi is a super-compact sports bike with a unique personality, starting with its sharp and avant-garde design. Bimota Tesi 2023 is a bare bike, though it doesn’t look like it because of the mechanized billboards that clog the engine and hide it almost completely. The Bimota Tesi is a bike that everyone involved in the industry should admire.

2023 Bimota Tesi 3d

2023 Bimota Tesi 3d

The Tesi is Italian which is appropriate, as it was the Tesi of engineer Pierluigi Marconi at the university that he rode directly to the Bimota Tesi motorcycle. One, two, and three-D represent the different Ducati engines used in the models. The Bimota Tesi has as much power as the Kawasaki along with a unique steering system in the center. At the moment, the Bimota Tesi is only available in Europe. Currently, only 250 bicycle units can be booked.

2023 Bimota Tesi Design

The 2023 Bimota Tesi follows the Sugomi inspiration for its design. Bimota Tesi makes the bike look like a predator, ready to pounce on its prey. The first thing you’ll notice is the look, which means business. The headlight console is low, giving it a crouched look. Tesi has a double set of LED lights, which look like eyes. The indicators are of the stem type, located on either side under the headlights. The Bimota Tesi is one of the worst-looking bikes you’ll ever find and has an intimidating stance. This allows you to demand immense respect for the streets, even though it is not as big as other liter-class bikes. Because the Tesi is compact, quite maneuverable, and has a comfortable seat posture, it doesn’t make you lean too far forward, making it a little easier to use in the city.

The mirror stems are made of cast aluminum and are fixed. These can be adjusted from the frame. The field of view at the back is not big at all, but it gets a decent job. The instrument panel has options that provide fuel consumption, partial meter, odometer, and range. The tachometer is divided into two parts and is interesting. There is a digital display of up to 3000 rpm, beyond which an LED string is illuminated, at the top of the instrument panel, from 4000 rpm. The headlights are amazing and the LEDs, which are Daytime Running Lights, do an excellent job of illuminating the road. The high beams are also placed in addition to the LEDs on the outside and make life much easier during night driving. There is another LED light placed on the front of the instrument console.

2023 Bimota Tesi Riding & Control

The suspension configuration of the Bimota Tesi is very similar to that of a race track motorcycle. The bike has a fairly rigid configuration and does not have a soft spring. This translates into keeping the bike fairly agile during hard curves around turns and bends on the road. The bike is always kept on the safe foot. However, you may not exactly like to drive on rough roads, as the slightest ripple is transmitted to you. With most of our roads infested with potholes and broken patches, the Bimota Tesi is awkward to handle these conditions. The braking is as good as it can get, with a precise bite at any speed. The anti-lock braking system works smoothly with hard braking, keeping the composure intact. It inspired a lot of confidence as he pushed his bike to the limit.

The Bimota Tesi  L-Twin engine produces 95 horsepower air-cooled Desmo. But that’s all the outside help this Bimota gets because all the electronics are internal specs and in general this can be said to improve any Ducati engine. There is no serious idea of ​​reducing any cost when building a Bimota Tesi by hand. The best possible parts and materials will always be used. The only reason the 4.1-gallon fuel tank is made of plastic instead of carbon fiber is due solely to a problem in getting carbon fiber fuel tanks approved in the U.S. So this is an accessory of the Tesi replacement market. The subframe that holds the individual seat is all carbon fiber, as well as many other details. According to Bimota, the dry weight is about 370 pounds ultralight. The Bimota Tesi engine feels and sounds great as always and there are no hiccups, just useful torque and power all the way.

Bimota

The Bimota is a small Italian manufacturer of production and custom motorcycles. The Bimota was founded in Rimini, Italy by Valerio Bianchi, Giuseppe Morri, and Massimo Tamburini. The company name is a combination derived from the first two letters of each of the surnames of the three founders, Bianchi Morri Tamburini.

The state of the frame design was stagnant, Bimota initially focused on building high-quality motorcycle chassis around existing engines. From the beginning, they customized the top models of Suzuki, Honda, and Kawasaki. During the 1970s, Bimota also helped develop and build Lamborghinis-branded motorcycles.  In the 1980s they also customized Yamaha and Ducati motorcycles.

The co-founder of Bimota and chief designer for a long time, Tamburini has been an influential player in the development of other Italian brands, especially his work on the popular Ducati 916, Ducati Paso, and MV Agusta F4 other designers such as the current head of Bimota, Sergio Robbiano, have also been involved with high-volume manufacturers. The latest Bimota models include the DB5, DB6, DB7, DB9, and the Tesi, with a Ducati 1198 engine-powered DB8. in production that used the direction of the center of the nucleus.

Bimota first experienced the success of international racing in 1980 when Jon Ekerold, a true privateer, won the 350cc World Championship with a Yamaha-powered. They also experienced success in the early years of the World Superbike Championship. Virginio Ferrari won the  Formula TT title aboard a YB4 EI, partnering with Davide Tardozzi. Tardozzi won five races at the inaugural  World Superbike Championships, more than any other competitor, but inconsistent results relegated him to third place in the final standings.

After many unsuccessful years, Australian driver Anthony Gobert made a big impact in 2000 by winning a wet race on Philip Island with a Bimota SB8K. The Alstare team introduced a Bimota BB3 package to the World Superbikes in 2014 for riders Ayrton Badovini and Christian Iddon, but initially, the bike did not have enough units in production to pass the championship approval rules. As a compromise, motorcycles were allowed to enter the second round but were not eligible for points until approval was obtained. At the end of the year, the team ended up unclassified and disqualified.

The Bimota had a design defect with its engine. Bimota was forced to abandon the new fuel injection system and the entire engine.  Bimota finally remembered the whole run of the Bimota and made an improved version, the Evolution. Only 340  Two originals and 21 Evoluzione were built.  While this was happening, during the World Superbike 2000 season, one of the main sponsors of Bimota disappeared, due to the company’s lot of money. The combination of events forced Bimota to declare bankruptcy and close its doors. A new group of investors bought the rights to the Bimota name and designs and restarted the company.

The investors who bought Bimota, Marco Chiancianesi who is the current president, and his business partner Daniele Longoni are both active Scientologists. Recent reports paint a less optimistic outlook for Bimota’s future. The Rimini factory had closed,  with incomplete spare parts and bicycles elsewhere, possibly in Switzerland. Kawasaki Heavy Industries bought a 49% stake in the company and shortly thereafter announced its intention to manufacture Bimota bicycles with parts of the Kawasaki supply chain.

The Bimota was a 500 cc V-twin two-stroke motorcycle first manufactured by Bimota. Technical specifications included the first electronically controlled direct fuel injection on a two-stroke bicycle, gearbox type cassette, and dry clutch. Its power-to-weight ratio surpassed nearly all sportbikes of the time. The first series of production of 150 bicycles suffered major problems, such as oil leaks, clogged pistons, and intermittent power supply. Many new owners simply returned their bikes at this time. Bimota managed to fix most of the initial breakdowns and made 26 units, but not all of them were legal on the road. Bimota renounced its problematic electronic fuel injection and equipped carburetors, first producing the illegal Evoluzione Corsa model for the road, of which only 14 were produced, and finally the legal Evoluzione model for the road of which 120 were produced and sold. Because of their rarity, most of V Two are in the hands of collectors.

2023 Benelli BN

The 2023 Benelli BN is a new bare compact motorcycle designed to capture the hearts of the new generation of motorcycles. The Benelli BN 2023 is a fantastic first bike, easy to handle, has simple controls, and has a stunning look. The Benelli BN  looks slim and sleek, with a well-formed tank and seat and well-coordinated accessory components such as the radiator hood and spoiler under the engine.

2023 Benelli BN 125

The Benelli BN 2023 is perfect for travelers who want to move easily through city traffic and for motorcyclists who just want to have fun on the road.  The Benelli BN has exceptional value for money.

2023 Benelli BN Design

The highlight of the Benelli BN 2023 is the new design. Replacing the previous model’s halogen units is the vertically stacked projector headlight, flanked by LED DRL on either side and a new LED taillight. The body has air outlets to help channel the air around it better. Benelli has retained the same 14-liter fuel tank and side panels. A beautifully designed steel lattice frame, along with a similarly constructed tipper, gives the BN  a high degree of chassis rigidity, which helps it handle itself like a larger motorcycle.

The gearbox is quite smooth, the clutch is nice and light and it doesn’t vibrate too badly thanks to a balancing shaft, but that’s to be expected, what sets Benelli aside is the fact that it’s 41mm forks and a single shock seem to work really well. Luckily, they don’t have too much of a rebound you get from cheap units that don’t seem to have any noticeable cushioning and do their job very well. In fact, you can move little Benelli through curves, and his 143 kg featherweight makes him very light and agile in the city. The BN is Available in green/black frame, white/red frame, black/red frame, and red/red frame.

2023 Benelli BN Suspension & Brakes

The frame is state-of-the-art in its steering geometry, with 24.5 degrees of inclination and a moderate 91.7 mm of travel. The static weight distribution is a correct 51/49. The front suspension is by a 41 mm inverted fork, while the rear is responsible for a cantilevered shock absorber. The wheelbase is 5.3 inches front and rear. The Benelli BN wheel on cast aluminum wheels is fitted with tubeless radials 120/70-17 and 140 / 70-17 front and rear, respectively. The braking system uses two 260mm rotors with four-piston calipers at the front, plus a 240mm rear rotor with a floating caliper.

2023 Benelli BN Performance

The engine personality, along with its exhaust note, changes drastically at 7,500 rpm. From here, beyond 11,000 rpm, the speed increases rapidly as it advances through the gears. The bike is capable of accelerating a mustache above 100 mph, but its acceleration and pick-up performance were above any expectations. The frame is well balanced in weight distribution and steering geometry makes the BN agile and fast in line, but absolutely safe. This was demonstrated as he was descending from San Marino down a horribly rugged crossroads. The front suspension absorbed these shocks, keeping the BN composed and comfortable. The subsequent shock was too harsh on his response. The brakes were solid and reliable, and the BN returned 66 mpg.

2023 Benelli BN Engine

The 2023 Benelli BN engine is a twin derived from the BN four-cylinder engine. It has measures of diameter and stroke of 65.0 mm by 45.2 mm and the same compression ratio of 12: 1. The size of the valve does not vary, with 25 mm inlets and 22 mm leaks, fixed at 14 degrees on the cylinder shaft, respectively for an included angle of 28.8 degrees. This means that the BN’s combustion chamber is slightly less compact in profile than is generally seen. The engine itself is compact and clean, with attractive side covers and a completely unobstructed exhaust system that fits snugly under the engine.

2023 Benelli Bn Engine

2023 Benelli Bn 302

2023 Benelli Bn 302

The Benelli BN 2023 engine breathes through 37 mm accelerator bodies which are 1 mm smaller than those used by the BN. The Benelli BN engine uses the same Delphi integrated injection and ignition management system first adopted in the 600 four and includes an oxygen sensor per cylinder. The new Benelli twin delivers 38 hp at 10,000 rpm, plus 20.2 lb-ft of maximum torque at 9,000 rpm. For a meaningful comparison, the Kawasaki Ninja 300 is said to produce 39 hp at 11,000 rpm and 20.6 pound-feet of torque at 10,000 rpm.

At the lower end, the Benelli BN follows a true, proven design that includes a classic 360-degree crankshaft that rotates on three 32mm main bearings. The connecting rod bearings have a diameter of 30 mm, for a very robust structure, while the main screws and the handle screws overlap with a generous 8.4 mm. A 360-degree parallel twin needs two axes of balance to counteract the primary order imbalance generated by the unpleasant vibrations with which the traditional British twins of yesteryear were known. Benelli’s technicians adopted only one axis of balance: one to counteract the vertically vectorized vibrations while allowing the massively counterbalanced crankshaft to cancel the horizontally vectorized ones.

 

2023 Benelli TRK

The 2023 Benelli TRK is a medium-weight adventure touring motorcycle that has been built around a steel lattice chassis. The Benelli TRK 2023  look and build quality of the bike is excellent. The Benelli TRK is suitable for long and light off-road trips as it has no spoke wheels. TRK power and weight ratio are slightly lower. The Benelli TRK  is an Italian brand of premium motorcycles and is one of the oldest Italian motorcycle manufacturers.

2023 Benelli Trk 251

2023 Benelli Trk 251

2023 Benelli TRK Design

The 2023 Benelli TRK  looks big and imposing and this reason would be enough for some people to bet on this bike. when our machines have an unmistakable presence on the road. The TRK has a beak-like design upfront that is typical of some large ADVs. The overall design looks quite proportionate and many people will agree that there is a clear connection with Ducati Multistrada somewhere in terms of looks. The Benelli TRK now has a body-colored front fender, more rugged-looking artillery protectors, a textured finish on the rear-view mirrors, and an updated instrument cluster.

In addition, the device now looks more premium and the switches are also backlit. There are also two additional switches on both sides of the handlebars and these can be used when opting for fog lights and heated handles for your bike. All these changes come together and ensure that the TRK  is an offer with more value for money than before. The Benelli TRK is an adventure touring motorcycle, there is a good chance that you will be taking it off the road and therefore engine protection is something that should be offered, even though it is not an unconditional all-terrain vehicle. Even a Hero XPulse 200 has one and adding an engine protection plate to the package would only have increased the price marginally. Also, while the windshield does a decent job of protecting you from gusts of wind at high speeds, there’s no adjustment option, which higher-end motorcyclists might want. Lastly, the rear turn signal wires could have been better hidden.

2023 Benelli TRK Reliability

The 2023 Benelli TRK has a vertical handlebar and this, together with a broad and well-cushioned seat, makes it a very comfortable motorcycle. The high comfort of the seat ensures that even riders with average experience can do 200 km with this bike without having to stop. The ride quality is decent and this helps make the TRK  a safe traveler. The Benelli TRK has a 320mm dual disc installed in the front along with a single 260mm rear disc and these do a decent job of stopping this giant, although we believe the bite and feedback from the back could have been better. With its large size, the Benelli TRK  cannot move in traffic, but it is quite manageable.

2023 Benelli TRK Suspension

The frame is a classic steel tube grille, fitted with a front suspension with a 50mm inverted fork with a 135mm excursion, while at the rear is a classic swingarm anchored to a center shock absorber. The suspension is on the slightly softer side and absorbs most ripples quite easily. The TRK  has neutral handling and therefore cannot be expected to rise to the curves. The tire’s grip is sufficient and not exceptionally good, so you may need to hold your horses whenever you see a fast-approaching curve. The straight-line stability of the TRK is commendable and it feels well-planted at triple-digit speeds.

2023 Benelli TRK Engine & performance

The 2023 Benelli TRK  is powered by a 500 cc, two-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces a rather modest 47.5 hp along with 46 Nm of torque, combined with a six-speed transmission. The dual-parallel engine comes to life with quick pressure from the starter motor after which it is installed on a rather pleasant and sober note. The best part here is that, like all Benelli, the TRK  is also a sweet-sounding motorcycle and anyone can confuse its escape note with the melody of an in-line four.

The engine is in a low to medium range, thanks to which the bike leaves the line effortlessly. It should be noted, that this is not a high-speed engine and therefore needs some sweet time to build the revs. It exceeds 3,500 rpm and the engine begins to enter its element. Around 5,000 rpm is the sweet spot of this engine and this is where the bike can be at 100km / h all day long. Just keep up the pace on these freeways and you’ll really love how the bike sings in pure symphony. Pushing this bike over 105-110 km / h is not a good idea, as the vibrations start to become evident on the handlebars and footrests.

2023 Benelli Leoncino

The 2023 Benelli Leoncino is flexible and fun to drive around the city. Benelli Leoncino 2023 is also comfortable and has a great presence on the road thanks to its retro-inspired style. However, Benelli Leoncino seems that with a motorcycle you would easily get bored. Benelli Leoncino has much to offer in terms of equipment or performance.

2023 Benelli Leoncino 800

2023 Benelli Leoncino Design

The 2023 Benelli Leoncino fuel tank catches your eye first, with its swoopy look and a plastic insert containing a major Benelli badge, complete with the three essential stars, a crown, and a lion. The name Leoncino is reproduced in a deco-inspired font on the side panels and the engine box on the right side. The exhaust system looks good, as does the seat, which floats above the rear wheel. The steel tube arch rocker and the rocker arm mounting bracket have a premium look. The shortened fenders look good and don’t miss the lion on the front fender. The LED lighting keeps the turn signals small and the lighthouse has a gondola with a vintage feel. Style is always a personal thing, although most people agree that the retro-modern Leoncino is an attraction.

The left side is especially unattractive, with the right side saved by the aforementioned touches of the box. Even with this handicap, Benelli stylists run the Leoncino. The Leoncino is a modern bicycle in every way. It has liquid cooling, and fuel injection and has a dual-channel ABS that can be turned off. It has LED lighting everywhere, but the best system can be seen in the DRL and the backlight. The instrument cluster has a basic design but provides all the necessary information. Apart from the usual travel data, it shows the clock, the engine, and the ambient temperatures. The suspension is adjustable. However, the USB charging facility is lost, which has become the norm in most two-wheeled vehicles.

2023 Benelli Leoncino Riding

Driving the Benelli Leoncino on winding roads showed its agility that was good enough, thanks to the adjustable preload on the back, you can make it as agile as you want. The motorcycle is agile enough for city tasks. The stability of the highway is perfect with a long wheelbase and a weight of 200 kg. There is a good balance that is being tried thanks to a good suspension, but the chassis, especially the tipper, could be more technological at this price. The Leoncino has a seat height of 785 mm. With an accessible seat height like this, the Leoncino becomes a favorable proposition for a large number of buyers. Even the seat position is comfortable for motorcyclists of all sizes. The wide handlebars, the well-placed footrests, and the low seat height feel natural. For a passenger, there is a decent amount of space for short trips. In terms of gear configuration, the Leoncino benefits from an adjustable suspension at the front and rear. But the stock configuration is too rigid for our liking. when the motorcycle was going down bad roads at low speed. The rear shock absorber can be adjusted for preloading and bouncing with a button.

 

2023 Benelli Leoncino Engine

The 2023 Benelli Leoncino is the 754 cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, two-cylinder engine, which is now Euro 5 approved. Benelli Leoncino offers well the accelerator with a power of 56 kW at 8500 rpm and a torque of 67 Nm at 6500 rpm. The distribution of a double overhead camshaft with 4 valves per cylinder, as well as the 43 mm diameter double throttle body, wet non-slip clutch, and 6-speed gearbox complete the picture for a safe engine and state-of-the-art transmission set.

The suspension consists of an inverted Marzocchi front fork with 50 mm tubes, adjustable in the rebound, compression, preload, and 140 mm travel. At the rear, there is a swingarm with an adjustable central single damper in the spring preload and bounce damping. The Benelli Leoncino braking system is exceptionally safe thanks to the 320 mm diameter semi-floating double disc at the front and a four-piston radial mounting monobloc caliper and a 260 mm diameter disc at the rear with a double piston caliper. 17-inch aluminum-alloy tubeless spoke wheels fit 120 / 70-17 and 180 / 55-17 tires. While the tank has a remarkable capacity of 15l. The Leoncino returned 26.8 kmpl and this is not a bad figure. With a fuel tank capacity of 12.7 liters, the bike can travel for approximately 340 km before stopping to fill it.

 

2023 Benelli Tornado

The 2023 Benelli Tornado is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer that has struggled for most of its life and is now wholly owned by Qianjiang. The design and engineering of the Benelli Tornado 2023 are done in Italy, but the manufacturing is done in China. The Benelli Tornado Bike is a sleek sporty, stylish motorcycle that offers stunning performance. The Benelli Tornado is the most fun you can have with your helmet on.

The full specification of the bike guarantees perfect driving pleasure, while the Benelli Tornado is an incredibly agile motorcycle that can bring a permanent smile under the rider’s visor. The 2023 Benelli Tornado is truly an incredibly interesting bike it’s so hard to understand why it didn’t take off to be a roaring success. The Tornado never got the sales traction properly, possibly due to the lack of support from the main dealer compared to its rivals, and failed to find the appeal that Ducati has always had in the Italian motorcycle industry and is not as powerful as some of the Japanese competition of the time. The Tornado ran before Benelli plugged in to focus on other models in its range. The handling is crisp and sharp, the acceleration is super fast and the triple just loves to spin. The style, in true Italian fashion, is spectacular and as there is nothing else on the market and everything is well finished. In terms of character, the Tornado revolves around the rings around the Japanese bicycles of the time.

2023 Benelli Tornado Suspension & Brakes

The Tornado’s concept and layout are conventional and familiar, its seat cooling fans were strikingly different. These allowed Benelli to reposition the radiator under the seat unit which in turn allowed them to give the bike very sharp steering geometry as there was now no radiator to get in the front wheel’s way. While although the aluminum twin beam chassis was pretty conventional-looking, too, it was actually glued together, rather than welded, using aircraft-spec glue to save weight. Suspension of the top-spec models was by Ohlins with quality, multi-adjustable Marzocchi units on the more basic variants.

A result is a fine-handling machine – heavier and wider, but still, reassurings planted, with an accomplished if slightly firm ride. Most of these contents are top drawer, so there’s nothing to worry about when buying used, nor is there any need for enhancement. Benelli Tornados were equipped with the best brakes at the time, along with the large 320mm high-end discs of their compatriot Benelli and four-piston calipers. They offer a lot of power, bite, and feel, even by current standards, although if you want an upgrade some twisted lines and different pads should do the trick.

2023 Benelli Tornado Riding

Riding the Benelli Tornado bike for the first time, the first thing you notice is the aggressive dynamics of the bike. The pegs are high and the bars are mounted forward and down. Benelli Tornado reminded me of an old Ducati and it sounds like a key box in slow motion. I’ve already convinced myself that this would be a bit of a handful on the road. The moment you give the bike any revolution to get away, it instantly softens and the RPM becomes silky, like a totally different bike. Trading outside the city, the bike felt typically Italian. The clutch is heavy and everything looks a bit cumbersome. Going out on the highways is where the Tornado really shines. The Benelli Tornado is so lively and loves to get ahead of revolutions, tipping is effortless and the bike holds its position on the road very well. Since the Tornado ride was an exceptionally low mileage

2023 Benelli Tornado Engine performance

The 2023 Benelli Tornado has a 3-cylinder engine that produces a healthy 160 hp at 10,500 rpm and an equally impressive 124 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. This power is enough to drive the bike at a top speed of 290 km / h. The Tornado has 50mm Marzocchi inverted forks on the front and an Extreme Tech rear damping configuration. Another unique feature of the bike is the presence of exhaust fans to expel heat faster and improve the sound. The 320 mm Brembo front rotors and 240 mm rear rotors act as anchors to stop this speed machine. The gearbox is a fairly conventional, error-free six-speed transfer rate that transfers the final transmission through a chain, as well as a non-slip clutch to help smooth out awkward shifts. The exhaust is a decently light 3: 1 with plenty of spare options available. That said, as a used purchase there is also a lot to congratulate the Tornado, especially considering the used values. MotoGb is the official importer of Benelli in the UK and knows all about the Tornado.

 

 

2023 Benelli TNT

The 2023 Benelli TNT With aggressive lines and an eccentric spirit, Benelli TNT 2023 is the new urban motorcycle, designed for those who love to stand out with style and elegance on the city streets riding a daring and modern motorcycle. A revolution at Benelli, since it inaugurates its Benelli TNT, offering a naked with a strong personality and contemporary design thanks to the footpegs moved forward, as required by the custom tradition, comfortable.

2023 Benelli TNT Design

The 2023 Benelli TNT has some unique design elements that make it stand out. The red-finish frame and swingarm are the highlights of this bike, pairing well with the paint scheme of this aggressive street fighter. There is a carbon fiber finish on the bike, such as on the front fender and around the engine. The patriotism of the Italians cannot be missed with the flag carefully placed in front of the muscular tank. At the rear, the unique under-seat exhaust will immediately catch your eye, flanked by brake lights on either side. A super-wide rear tire hints at what this bike is capable of. If anything, a neat tail would be a nice touch on this Benelli. The leftmost one has a display for indicator lights while in the center is the tachometer which has a digital display on the right for the odometer, trip meters, speedometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and watches.

The console is easy to read, and at startup, it makes a full turn, not just to the 12,000 RPM marked on the tach, but to the TNT written in white on the dash. The buttons are a bit fiddly to operate, and on the tachometer, there’s a service pending indicator and a low fuel warning. The switchgear is of good quality and there are also emergency lights. There is also a shift light positioned at the top right. The Benelli TNT  has a seating position that is a mix of sportiness and comfort. Both tall and short riders will find the right seat height to ride this bike. The split seats are a bit stiffer, although there is generous space for both driver and passenger. However, the latter will feel the heat from the exhaust under the seat and won’t be able to grab onto anything. The pegs are set back a bit, while the leaf-shaped mirrors are a bit small for our liking. All Benelli comes with a unique key, it looks like a small blade and it opens. The keyhole is deep behind the handlebars and requires a bit of effort to operate the key in the ignition.

2023 Benelli TNT Reliability

The brake and suspension system is flexible enough to compensate for both solo and passenger driving. Its telescopic inverted fork suspension at the front and hydraulic mono-damper at the rear dampen vibrations that affect steering well. Handling the Benelli TNT  while driving has a balanced weight distribution with or without driving. With a weight of 231 kg, it can feel difficult when stationary, but it compensates for effortless driving. During stop-and-go driving, the weight transfer is sufficiently controlled because it has a wheelbase of 1,480 mm which plays well both at high speeds and in corners. The exceptional 50mm USD front fork, finely tuned suspension geometry, and tuned flex steel lattice top frame provide precise yet stable control. In the rear part, there is a side-mounted shock absorber with an adjustable bounce and the preload controls a super rigid, reinforced swinging fork made of aluminum alloy. This suspension absorbs a wide range of rider weights and provides the excellent suspension feel that Benelli is known for.

2023 Benelli TNT Engine

The Benelli TNT  draws power from a 3-cylinder  engine that uses 4 valves per cylinder and is liquid-cooled. The DOHC unit has a huge character, it starts the bike after you squeeze the clutch and it sounds a bit rough, like a diesel engine with its rattle. That unrefined part becomes pure blasphemy as soon as you get over 4000 RPM. The engine suddenly goes super smooth and there’s so much oomph it scares you and it’s just the midrange we’re talking about yet. The Benelli TNT isn’t very powerful for a bike in its displacement class, but it sure is fast.

However, it’s not all about pulling out the best of the Benelli TNT on each wheel, tons of power can be used in higher gears, and the acceleration in shifting is amazing. The engine is so grunting that at times you feel like you have a lower gear, when in fact you are two higher. Only the sixth gear can be driven from 55 km / h to 240 km / h. The TNT just does it super-cultivated, and when you open the throttle at such a low speed, 150 km / h will be visible when you hold on too tight handlebars.

 

Benelli

Benelli is one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in Italy, first producing motorcycles in 1921. Like other Italian companies, Benelli played a major role in the post-World War II recovery by producing affordable, lightweight motorcycles. Benelli is owned by China’s Qianjiang Corporation, but still produces bikes in Pesaro, Italy.

The shape of the LED headlight is the greatest gift for style reference. Then there’s the large 21-liter fuel tank that makes up more than half of the Benelli body. It also has a cantilever seat design that sacrifices passenger space for an aesthetically pleasing rear end. The Benelli LED turn signals that are installed vertically on the tire-mounted license plate bracket look good, as does the split taillight setup. When it comes to quality, the Benelli is well-built for the most part, with no panel gaps or ill-fitting components. The switchgear looks and feels cheap and could use better quality. The entire body of the Benelli sits on a tubular trellis frame that is completely different from the one used by the Leoncino.

The Benelli is longer than the Leoncino and even offers a low seat height of 750mm. So getting on and off the motorcycle, even for short riders, is not a concern. The Benelli is a bulky motorcycle and the lack of a handrail also makes it even more difficult to move the bike around. However, once seated, moving the Benelli around feels a bit manageable. The list of features offered by the Benelli is not extensive, but it is better than the Kawasaki Vulcan S has to offer. So it has a fully digital display that shows all the essential information and has colored stripes on the red line and fuel gauge. There’s also full LED lighting all around and a dual-channel anti-lock braking system. As for the backrest and engine guard, they are offered as optional accessories.

As for ride quality, Benelli needs to work on the hardtail suspension setup. Since the rider sits right on top of the mono-shock, every bit of feedback is transferred to the lower back. While it’s acceptable at speeds up to 30 km/h, any faster than that and the experience becomes extremely unpleasant. The front end with the 50mm inverted forks is also equally stiff and sends a shock to the handlebars. The Benelli engine is the same as the one in the Leoncino and TRK, albeit with a slightly different tune. Benelli delivers 46.8 hp and 46 Nm of torque in a linear and predictable manner throughout the rev range. It feels smooth and refined with just a few vibrations reaching high revs on the handlebars. In addition, the Benelli engine is also extremely tractable and can go as slow as 40 km/h in higher gears, making it quite forgiving for city driving.

However, it does require a couple of downshifts to overtake quickly. And while the 502C’s output figures are decent, due to its weight it feels a bit sluggish when you twist the throttle. Aside from the wide handlebars that pose a problem when weaving through small gaps, the Benelli felt nimble through traffic. And on the highway, it can cruise to around 130km/h and beat that mark after a bit of persuasion. But with the wind blowing off the headlight and hitting me right in the face, the need for a windshield was felt almost immediately. Chance in a few corners and the Benelli feels sportier, switching sides almost instantly. Add in the smooth throttle response and smooth gearbox and the whole package becomes a delight. Even the Benelli brakes are pretty decent.

At 280mm, the discs are smaller than those on the Leoncino but offer good bite and progression at both ends. In short, the Benelli is a delight to drive around town thanks to its agility and the manageable nature of the engine. The engine is also easy to use for someone upgrading from a 150-200cc motorcycle. Not forgetting that raspy exhaust note and styling that’s guaranteed to turn heads. It seems that Benelli is a jack of all trades. But as they say, a jack of all trades can be a master of none, and that’s exactly the case with the Benelli. It would be a much better motorcycle to ride with improvements to suspension setup and ride quality. And since it’s a cruiser, we would have loved to see it equipped with a windshield and a more luxurious seat to enhance the high-speed, long-distance driving experience.
