Benelli Tornado Superbikes (wallpapers): [br]Top speed: 280 km/h (175mph); [br]Engine type: 898cc, I/c inline-triple 12-valve, DOHC; [br]Maximum power: 104 kW (140bhp) at 11,500rpm; [br]Frame type: chrome-moly steel-tube/cast aluminium; [br]Type size: front 120/70, rear 190/50 17; [br]Final drive: chain; [br]Gearbox: six-speed; [br]Weight: 185 kg (407lb).[br]Italian sportbikes rarely fail to make us drool, whether they be the [br]regular-exotic machines from Ducati, the exotic Aprilias or the [br]ultra-exotic MV Agustas. Well, there's another player on the way from the land of la dolce vita: [br]the Benelli Tornado Tre. It's been a long time since the Tornado first [br]stunned the public at its debut in 1999, but the outrageous Italian [br]bikes are finally rolling off the Benelli production line. [br]Just 40 of the limited edition versions of the Tre will make it to [br]these shores at a catch-your-breath price of $36,500, scheduled to [br]arrive at Benelli's 25 U.S. dealers by October. The standard "biposto" [br]version (without the Limited's slathering of carbon fiber and [br]magnesium) is nearly half the price at $18,950, with 600 units arriving [br]later in the fall. We were panting to get our hot little hands on an example, but we [br]couldn't wait to find out whether it's as impressive to ride as it is [br]to look at. Our Euro-scribe Glenn LeSanto has the inside line with the [br]Pesaro, Italy-based factory, and the following are his impressions of [br]the Tornado Tre Limited Edition.[br]One of the great things about being a motorcycle journalist is that I [br]often see a fantastic new bike at a show and think, "I must ride that!" [br]Unlike back in the mists of time when I was a flat-broke despatch rider [br]visiting the annual bike shows at the NEC in England, I now actually [br]stand a good chance of riding the latest subject of my drools! And so [br]it was to be with the Benelli Tornado.[br]
