News approved

i have only few things to say...

• looks very very good and aggresive.....very masculine....
• the welding joints in exhaust pipe at the bottom of engine are spoiling the show.
• too many bends / curves in exhaust pipes may have negative impact on engine/performance.

There is one more News to add:

The Benelli TNT range also gets this TNT160R model which has a 160bhp version of the 1130cc inline triple engine along with a series of changes to the frame, mapping and brakes seen on the Century Racers.



The TNT160R gets a dry slipper clutch over the wet clutch in the standard bikes along with a much higher compression ratio. The whole TNT range has been given a thorough overhaul with a new chassis, new fuel injection and ignition mapping; the first time the model has been given a decent refresh since it was launched in 2004 as a naked version of the Tornado superbike. There is no word on UK prices or availability yet.

So, finally a performance upgrade too, as a centenary celebrations? I guess every rule has exceptions! However, 160 bhp almost makes it the fastest naked bike. This is a good improvement, a big jump no doubt, from 129 bhp to 160!

Oh my God! What are these things?! They look so good and so aggressive! Wish some Indian manufacturer creates something like this! May be 5 years down the line.

That bike is so evil and menacing in its looks.

I wont be surprised if the bike suddenly stands up and transforms to this:
