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.
De Benelli TNT 899 werd in 2008 geïntroduceerd als een naakte straatvechter, gebouwd rond een opvallende 898cc driecilinderlijnmotor die hem een uniek karakter gaf onder naakten met een gemiddelde cilinderinhoud. Het werd ontwikkeld tijdens het Chinese Qianjiang-eigendomstijdperk van Benelli en vertegenwoordigde de inspanningen van het merk om zich opnieuw te vestigen op de Europese prestatiemarkt met een ontwerp in Italiaanse stijl. Het model viel op door zijn agressieve vormgeving, zijn krachtige driecilinderuitlaatgeluid en zijn competitieve positie ten opzichte van rivalen zoals de Triumph Street Triple en Ducati Monster.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Originele lancering met 898cc inline-triple, trellis-frame, Marzocchi-vorken, Brembo-remmen en naakte styling.
"Italiaans-Chinese triple met echte ziel, twijfelachtige betrouwbaarheid."
Die triple van 898 cc trekt hard vanaf 4.000 tpm en schreeuwt door naar de rode lijn met een gehuil dat grotere Japanse viervoeters in verlegenheid brengt — echt verslavend. Het trellis-chassis is stijf en communicatief, de Marzocchi-vorken voelen geplant aan en de Brembo-stoppers zijn behoorlijk vertrouwenwekkend; dit ding kan met een urgentie worden gehanteerd die zijn 195 kg verloochent. Maar ik heb er een gehad, en de elektrische gremlins zijn echt. Mijn dashboard kreeg twee keer aanvallen in de regen in één seizoen, en het kopen van onderdelen voelde als een schattenjacht. Je koopt een gepassioneerde, gebrekkige motorfiets die mechanische sympathie en een goede relatie beloont met een dealer die daadwerkelijk Benelli-onderdelen op voorraad heeft.

Nadelen
Herziene brandstofinjectiekaart, bijgewerkte grafische afbeeldingen, kleine ergonomische verfijningen, voortdurende Euro 2-conformiteit.
Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"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.
