Anyone ever owned or know someone who owns/owned???

A Benelli Tornado Tre?

They are so cheap these days I'm guessing there's a massive unreliability catch.

Is there??

Is that the early ones pre radial brakes ?

There's a reason they didn't sell - fueling, reliability, overheating from what I can remember.

So many better ways to spend your money unless you just want to be different for being differents sake.........

But an 06 bike, in good condition with less than 10k miles is £2600.......

Has to be a nightmare.

Like the idea of unusual and a big triple sports bike....

Test rode an 06 when it was new...... liked it.

seat was a bit hard.

Wasn't there an article in one of the mags about someone buying one and touring north Africa?

Biggest issue they had was the supply chain for spares...it was almost non existent under original italian ownership because the playboy who recreated the brand/bikes was the son of a businessman, and not a businessman himself. He didn't pay the sub component manufacturers on time and so they withheld the stock. Much better as I understand since it was taken over by a Chinese co. They would probably be about 2005 onwards. There is a dealer in Hammersmith who has sold from both owners and he said the Chinese were more on it.
