Benelli Tnt 1130
The Benelli Tnt 1130 has a top speed of 240 km/h, produces 150 hp and weighs 215 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
De Benelli TNT 1130 werd geïntroduceerd in 2004 en markeerde de moedige terugkeer van Benelli naar hoogwaardige motorfietsen onder het nieuwe Chinese eigendom van de Qianjiang Group. Hij had een kenmerkende driecilindermotor van 1130 cc, afgeleid van het race-erfgoed en werd geroemd om zijn agressieve styling en unieke uitlaatgeluid. Het model maakte van Benelli een serieuze concurrent in het segment van de naked sportbikes en legde de basis voor latere TNT-varianten, waaronder de Sport-, Titanium- en Café Racer-edities.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Triple Cylinder Powerhouse
The TNT 1130 uses a unique 3-cylinder 1130cc engine that delivers strong midrange torque and a distinctive exhaust note rarely found in this class. This setup makes it feel livelier than comparable inline-fours at everyday riding speeds.
Watch the Electrics
Common owner complaints include electrical gremlins such as faulty sensors, charging system issues, and temperamental fuel injection, especially on earlier models. Always inspect wiring condition and test the charging system before buying used.
Depreciation Works For You
The TNT 1130 holds relatively low resale value compared to Japanese rivals, meaning used buyers can find strong performance at a significant discount. However, reselling later can be slower due to limited brand recognition in Western markets.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Originele lancering met driedubbele motor van 1130 cc, motor afgeleid van Tornado, trellis-frame en agressieve naakte styling.
"Italiaans donder met frustrerende Italiaanse betrouwbaarheidsbagage."
Die triple trekt als geen ander in de naakte klasse: onder de 4.000 tpm is hij mopperend en klonterig, maar als hij voorbij de 6.500 komt, huilt het ding gewoon, met een geluid dat echt de aandacht trekt bij tankstops. Het trellis-frame is stijf en communicatief, de feedback van het chassis is uitstekend, en met 215 kg voelt het lichter aan dan het specificatieblad doet vermoeden als je eenmaal in beweging bent. Maar ik was in realtime op zoek naar een elektrische gremlin die een onbetrouwbare aardconnector bleek te zijn, en in 2005 was het vinden van onderdelen buiten Italië een echte oefening in geduld — het dealernetwerk bestond nauwelijks. Als je daarmee zou kunnen leven en je de klepspeling obsessief kon bijhouden, dan beloonde deze fiets je met een rijervaring die echt anders aanvoelde dan de Japanse concurrentie.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Exotic, rewarding, but demands a thorough pre-purchase inspection absolutely."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe TNT 1130 is one of those bikes that rewards patience and mechanical sympathy in equal measure. That Triumph-sourced triple sounds absolutely savage — raw, characterful, genuinely exciting in a way that modern bikes simply aren't — and when it's running right, you'll forgive it almost everything. The chassis is surprisingly capable too, with Italian-spec suspension that actually works rather than just looks pretty. Here's the honest part though: these things can be maintenance nightmares. Parts availability from Benelli's UK and US networks is patchy at best, and finding a specialist who actually knows the bike is harder than it should be. Check the service history obsessively. Cam chain tensioners and valve clearances are the first questions you ask. Electrics can be gremliny on older examples, and cooling systems need inspection before handing over cash. Buy a well-documented, dealer-maintained example and you've got an exotic, characterful machine for genuine bargain money. Buy blind and you're gambling. The community is small but passionate — join the forums before you buy, not after.
