Benelli Tnt 899
The Benelli Tnt 899 has a top speed of 220 km/h (estimated), produces 120 hp and weighs 206 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
Der Benelli TNT 899 wurde 2008 als nackter Streetfighter vorgestellt. Er basiert auf einem markanten 898 cm3-Reihendreizylindermotor, der ihm einen einzigartigen Charakter unter den Nackten mit mittlerem Hubraum verlieh. Er wurde während der chinesischen Qianjiang-Ära von Benelli entwickelt und stand für das Bestreben der Marke, sich mit italienischem Design wieder auf dem europäischen Performance-Markt zu etablieren. Das Modell zeichnete sich durch sein aggressives Design, den kernigen Dreizylinder-Auspuffsound und seine Wettbewerbsposition gegenüber Konkurrenten wie der Triumph Street Triple und der Ducati Monster aus.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Triple Cylinder Character
The TNT 899 features a distinctive 898cc inline three-cylinder engine that delivers a unique mid-range torque punch and exhaust note uncommon in its class. This configuration gives it a personality between a twin and a four-cylinder.
Watch the Electrics
Known weak points include the electrical system and throttle body sensors, which can cause rough idling or stalling, especially on higher-mileage examples. Always verify the ECU and wiring harness condition before buying used.
Depreciation Hits Hard
Resale value drops significantly compared to Japanese rivals due to Benelli's limited dealer network and parts availability in many markets. This means used examples can be excellent value buys, but budget extra for maintenance costs.
Generationen und Spezifikationen nach Jahr
Ursprüngliche Markteinführung mit 898-cm3-Reihendreifach, Spalierrahmen, Marzocchi-Gabeln, Brembo-Bremsen und nacktem Design.
"Italienisch-chinesisches Triple mit echter Seele, fragwürdige Zuverlässigkeit."
Dieses 898-cm3-Triple zieht ab 4.000 U/min kräftig an und schreit mit einem Heulen, das größere japanische Vierer in Verlegenheit bringt, bis zur roten Linie durch — es macht wirklich süchtig. Das Spalier-Chassis ist steif und kommunikativ, die Marzocchi-Gabeln fühlen sich wie angepflanzt an, und die Brembo-Stopper sind regelrecht vertrauenerweckend; dieses Ding fährt sich mit einer Dringlichkeit, die seine 195 kg kaum wahrnimmt. Aber ich habe einen besessen, und die elektrischen Probleme sind echt — mein Armaturenbrett hat in einer Saison zweimal Anfälle im Regen geworfen, und die Beschaffung von Teilen fühlte sich wie eine Schatzsuche an. Sie kaufen ein leidenschaftliches, fehlerhaftes Motorrad, für das mechanische Sympathie und eine gute Beziehung zu einem Händler belohnt werden, der tatsächlich Teile von Benelli auf Lager hat.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"Spectacular engine in an unreliable package — buy only with full history."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe TNT 899 is one of those bikes that rewards patient shoppers who don't mind doing their homework. The triple-cylinder engine is genuinely spectacular — that 898cc unit produces a howl between 6,000-9,000rpm that embarrasses bikes costing twice as much. Torque delivery is muscular and linear, the chassis handles confidently, and the naked aggressor styling still turns heads a decade on. It's a properly entertaining machine when everything's working. Here's the honest part though: find a good one and you've landed something special; find a neglected one and you've bought yourself a project. Italian build quality was inconsistent, and Benelli's parts support in North America and UK was patchy at best. Check service history obsessively. Throttle bodies need periodic syncing, regulator-rectifiers have a known failure history, and electrical gremlins are real. Budget an extra £500-$700 for immediate preventative maintenance regardless of asking price. Inspect the frame carefully around welds — these bikes got ridden hard by enthusiasts.
