It could reach a top speed of 235 km/h / 146 mph. 
 
==Engine==
The engine was a Liquid cooled cooled Four stroke, transverse three cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder. The engine featured a 12.5:1 [[compression ratio]]. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 120/70 -ZR17 front [[tire]] and a 190/50 -ZR17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via 2 x 320 mm Ø discs, 4 piston calipers in the front and a Single 240 mm Ø disc, 2 piston [[caliper]] in the rear. The front suspension was a  Marzocchi 50 mm diameter upside down fork, adjustable while the rear was equipped with a Mono shock absorber with adjustable extension and spring load. The TNT899 Sport was fitted with a 16 Liters / 4.2 US gal fuel tank.

At a first glance you immediately know that this is
no Japanese machine and doesn’t even intend to get close to that image
considered by many simple and uninspiring. What the two Benelli models try doing
is individualizing themselves in the world of stylish, aggressive and powerful
three-cylinder powered machines. Relying on their fuel-injected 899cc
liquid-cooled, three-cylinder, four-stroke, twelve-valves, DOHC engines and on
the versatile chassis to conquer the aimed market segment, both the normal and
the “s” versions of the Benelli Tornado Naked Tre 899 will have to fight the
finesse, heritage and immediate attraction that come with the name Triumph.
 
 
This takes us to the bike’s strongest and most
challenging competitor. It is quite difficult to set the Tornado against either
the Speed Triple 1050 or the Street Triple 675 because Benelli’s 899ccs position
it just between the two as an option for potential customers who search for a
middle way.
 
 
But it is well worth taking in consideration the fact that the Triumph Street
Triple, a naked motorcycle powered by the famous 675cc liquid-cooled, DOHC,
in-line three-cylinder engine being fed through a multipoint sequential
electronic fuel injection develops an incredible 107bhp compared with Benelli’s
114bhp. I reckon that the extra displacement doesn’t pay off in the case of the
subjects of today’s review, but their efforts couldn’t have been unappreciated
as the results are quite remarkable.
 
Clearly setting it apart from the recently-appeared competitor are the British
bike’s compactness, style and proved road abilities, while the Tornados would
have to prove that through the test drive opinions and the number of salves.
 
 
Until getting a feel of the bike, we can just admire
its personality and aggressive character exposed through its radical design. We
never underestimated the Italian’s talent when it comes to taking a white sheet
of paper and turning it into an entire generation of bikes, but this is one
demonstration of power. In fact two, I could say as there are clear design
differences between the Tornados Naked Tre 899 and the Tornado Naked Tre 899s.
The first is a roadster featuring an angry looking headlight, wide and yet small
side fairings painted in the colors of the gas tank. Their purpose is to uncover
to our eyes the source of entertaining, I mean the three-cylinder engine and the
exhaust’s way under the seat.
 
Having a massive 17
Liters
 
gas tank, the Tornado clearly indicates the fact that it was built for
sport-touring, only that it misses a wind-protective front fairing and
windshield which is a thing pretty much expected from Italian bikes as
nakedness is the key to their entire success.
 
 
 
 
The seat looks well accommodating and at 780mm above ground, it is perfect for
the average sized rider and if you were expecting for it to have a suddenly
ending rear end, well it has it and it doesn’t. There is enough room for the
passenger’s but there, but it looks like the rear end of a fully-faired
previous-generation Japanese bike.
 
Wheels on both models feature 17” in diameter and the difference between the
simple and the s model is the fact that this last comes painted in an
aggressive orange paint scheme it is more compact and implicit better
handling.
