The second fully-faired motorcycle in Benelli's history.
The Italian motorcycle maker has unveiled the Benelli Tornado 302 at the 2015 EICMA in Milan today. It is the second fully faired motorcycle by the company after the Benelli Tornado 1130. The Tornado 302 can be considered a fully faired derivative of the TNT 300/302 naked sports tourer.
The Benelli Tornado 302 measures 2,157 mm in length, 746 mm in width, 1,146 mm in height, 1,410 mm in wheelbase and 180 mm in ground clearance. The fuel tank capacity is 14 litres and the engine oil reservoir capacity is 4 litres.
The Tornado 302 is based on a steel trestle frame suspended by 41 mm inverted telescopic fork with 120 mm travel and a monoshock on swingarm with 45 mm travel. The motorcycle can be halted by the 260 mm dual disc brake at the front with 4-piston calipers and a single disc rotor at the rear with a mono-piston floating caliper. The tyres are of sizes 110/70-ZR17 and 150/60-ZR17.
