    Look out MV Agusta

    Yep! They'd better watch out. The competition from Benelli is hotting up with these two beauties. First, the 160hp new Tornado TRE 1130, and also the beautiful and sexy Tornado RS 900. I've included the specs for each bike.

    Benelli's naked muscle bikes and "cafe racer" are an aquired taste. You'd think them F'ugly or beautiful, there's no in between.

    Those bikes look nice. The red one looks like the Honda NR500 oval piston bike. They are now Chinese owned aren't they? They will probably get Aston Martin next.

    It still has the tail fans because the radiator is under there. You couldn't do a better job. You're a peanut.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    A blatant copy of the Hyosung. Do the italians have no styling skills of their own?

    They look good in the silver/green - theres one that turns up out our way every now and again - sounds good, too!

    Looks like the overweight bastard lovechild of a Hyoschlong GT250R and a VTR1000 Fireyawn.
