Benelli Tornado 900 Tre

Pruusapuu

Ok first things first, I only like sport bikes. Anything else without full fairing is just… uncomplete. Like a car with just the frame, engine and seats.

Well anyway you may like it or not, this bike leaves no one without impression. The look is so uncommun, even little childs see it as a ´have to have´ toy. If you are liek me and don´t like to have the same as everyone, just get this baby. Parked side by side with other exclusive bikes (like Agusta MV4 and even a Boxer VB1), you´re sure to get the attention on you; ah well on your bike… lol.

Now for the fact you have to know about. If you read the numbers, this bike is old when looking at chronos and numbers. Less powerfull, heavier…

But if you you pay attention on these things; geeze you are way out of track! For my part I don´t pretend to be a pro pilot, and even on a 600 trail I couldn´t get the most out of it. My limits are just under those of the bikes. And this is applicable for about everyone also. So speaking about chronos is so much childish and testosteron full… Nah this bike, like the MV agusta, is about sensations. Same thing that goes for the lotus elise which I had the pleasure to own also. This baby will give you so much sensation, you´ll want to sleep with it like a kid with his pet. Fun is everything that count if you don´t do serious competition. And this bike is all about that. Like any of these italian bikes out there. That´s the fact. Try riding an Agusta, a 999 Ducati or this baby and you´ll understand. I always change my cars and bikes for new one. But my tornado; NEVER. I feel like micheal jackson (ok any superstar then) when I ride on it. Everyone I meet come ad talk to me. Bikers and non-bikers alike. Kids literally pull their parents to me while the adults are trying to look discretly (I saw you folks, don´t act like you don´t stare, YOU DO!). This is fun. A little annoying at the beginning, but definitly fun after you get use to it. And when you have enough, vroom, you turn the wrist and up for more unequalled sensations….
