Benelli have launched the new TNT and it is quite possibly one of the sexiest naked bikes around - following on the design cues of the Tornado
Designed to combat the Tuono, K1000, Brutalle, the TNT looks set to take these bikes head on. With the heart from the Tornado - putting 135hp thru the flywheel and 12kgm of torque - this makes the bike more powerful than the Honda Blackbird.
Much of the bike has been redesigned, as opposed to the other option of just stripping body work from the Tornado. Benelli has redone the chassis.
Bike has been bored out to 1133cc - helping the power figures.
I am dubious about the headlight - with the Porsche emulating Brutalle headlight setting the naked bike standard.
