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.
Le Benelli TNT 899 a été introduit en 2008 en tant que streetfighter, construit autour d'un moteur triple cylindre en ligne distinctif de 898 cm3 qui lui a conféré un caractère unique parmi les véhicules nus de cylindrée moyenne. Il a été développé à l'époque de la propriété chinoise de Benelli par les Qianjiang et représentait les efforts de la marque pour se rétablir sur le marché européen de la performance avec un design de style italien. Le modèle se distinguait par son style agressif, son échappement trois cylindres puissant et son positionnement compétitif face à des concurrents tels que la Triumph Street Triple et la Ducati Monster.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.
Générations et spécifications par année
Lancement original avec un triple moteur en ligne de 898 cm3, un cadre en treillis, des fourches Marzocchi, des freins Brembo et un style épuré.
"Triple italo-chinois avec une vraie âme, une fiabilité douteuse."
Ce triple moteur de 898 cm3 tourne fort dès 4 000 tr/min et passe jusqu'à la ligne rouge avec un hurlement qui met les gros véhicules japonais dans l'embarras. C'est vraiment addictif. Le châssis en treillis est rigide et communicatif, les fourches Marzocchi donnent l'impression d'être bien ancrées et les bouchons Brembo inspirent confiance ; cette machine se manipule avec urgence, malgré ses 195 kg. Mais j'en ai possédé une, et les gremlins électriques sont bien réels : j'ai fait des crises sous la pluie deux fois en une saison, et l'achat de pièces m'a semblé être une chasse au trésor. Vous achetez une moto passionnée et défectueuse qui récompense la sympathie mécanique et une bonne relation avec un concessionnaire qui vend des accessoires Benelli.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
