The 2012 MY Benelli Due 756 sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 754cc, inline twin cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and can reach a maximum power output of 97 horsepower and 64 Nm of torque. This minimalist naked machine also comes standard with blacked-out, cast-aluminum wheels, dual front disc brakes, a dual seat, a digital instrumentation panel, an under-belly exhaust system, and a race-inspired suspension package composed of a 50mm upside-down fork and an adjustable mono-shock in the rear. | The 2012 MY Benelli Due 756 sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 754cc, inline twin cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and can reach a maximum power output of 97 horsepower and 64 Nm of torque.

New mid-weight | |||
twin-cylinder streetfighter confirmed for sale in 2012, to target Ducati | |||
Monster 696, MV Agusta F3 Brutale and Triumph Street Triple. | |||
As MV Agusta joins the likes of Triumph and Ducati with a | |||
middleweight naked bike, it seems that Benelli wants in on the action as well, | |||
finally confirming the Benelli Due 756 for production in 2012. | |||
The bike will go on sale first in China in 2012, owing to | |||
the Italian motorcycle marque's Asian owners, and will then be rolled out in | |||
Europe later in the year. | |||
The Benelli Due 756 will likely be the company's most | |||
affordable motorcycle and possibly its most popular as a result of its pricing. | |||
It will be built in Italy and might appeal to Ducati 696 and BMW F800R owners. | |||
A long time coming, the Due 756 has been variously paraded | |||
as a concept bike since 2006 (at Intermot in Cologne) its latest outing in 2009 | |||
at the EICMA event in Milan, Italy. | |||
Instead of creating a compact version of its | |||
three-cylinder lump, Benelli came to the 754cc engine type by modifying its | |||
liquid-cooled 'Tre' engine, by removing one of the triple's cylinders and | |||
working a few engineering tricks. And the 'Due' parallel twin-cylinder engine | |||
was born. | |||
At last count the inline twin was good for 97hp (72kW) at | |||
10,000rpm and 64Nm at 8000rpm. The DOHC engine featured four-valves per | |||
cylinder, a 12.5:1 compression ratio, and bore and stroke of 88mm x 62mm. | |||
Fully adjustable suspension will also be part of the | |||
package, while radially mounted Brembo brakes up front (fitted to twin 320mm | |||
discs) and a twin pot caliper at the rear (mated to a 240mm disc) round out the | |||
chassis details. | |||
The Benelli design, though several years old, still cuts a | |||
sharp image. Its eye-catching frame and swingarm and minimal bodywork show off | |||
the Due 756's engine and the headlight design is unique. | |||
