MODEL SUMMARY.

Excellent example of a very rare, unusual, and individual bike, a Benelli Tornado Novecento Tre 900 RS in Giallo Orion Pearl (Orion Yellow) 2006 06 Reg

The RS model is a very rare machine, with just over 400 units produced for the worldwide markets. Of those, just 45 were produced in yellow as here, with the balance being red examples

The Tornado Novecento Tre 900 is in itself a most unusual and exotic motorcycle, but the RS model was so much more. Far from being just being just a marketing exercise, it was a radically re-engineered bike, with very great differences to it’s mechanical specification, and resultantly at a different price level…

..key enhancements over the standard bike included a Bespoke RS colour scheme with black frame, swingarm and steering plate, RS specification motor with 143bhp utilising revised camshafts, fuel injection, intake runners and additional oil cooling , Revised adjustable slipper clutch, Revised handlebar location and geometry, Bespoke RS specification forged Marchesini wheels, Bespoke carbon fibre front and rear huggers, Bespoke LCD/Analogue instruments with RS insignia, Marzocchi USD fully adjustable 50mm diameter forks with Ergal 55 tubes, Revised rear Extreme Technology rear shock absorber with Ergal 55 body and Brembo radially mounted ‘Serie Oro’ 4 piston calipers with 320mm floating discs

This particular example was supplied new in the UK, and has had just 1 owner throughout it’s 20 year life. It’s owner was knowlegdable and mechanically able, and the bike has been very well cared for throughout his ownership

Standard and original RS specification other than for a carbon Arrow exhaust, carbon fibre tank pad, suede alcantara seat cover, paddock stand bobbins and anodised brake/clutch fluid reservoirs. The original specification titanium Arrow exhaust is also supplied in brand new, never fitted condition, along with the standard Brembo fluid reservoirs

15000 miles with service history including it’s original service book, original bill of sale, original CoC Certificate of Confirmation and 0riginal sales brochure and period technical literature. New MOT provided at point of sale. Clear HPI report. All books/documents/history/keys (including number tag) present

It has just had a major service performed at our instruction, which has included a new timing chain, valve clearances checked/adjusted, spark plug replacement, new Twin Air Racing air filter and Shell Advance Ultra 15w 50 fully synthetic oil. Also has brand new Continental Conti Sport Attack tyres fitted

Worth mentioning is that it has also had all warranty upgrades and modifications completed early in it’s life including Z25 gear shaft, clutch basket/housing, alternator nut/washer/loctite, cam tensioner spring, core plugs and output shaft sprocket nut 

These bikes are characterised by their rear mounted radiator and twin cooling fans and have a high mechanical specification so typical of these smaller volume Italian manufactured models. Additionally, over and above that discussed so far, this includes the 898cc triple cylinder motor with counter balance shaft, Removable ‘cassette’ type gearbox, Factory fitted Arrow titanium exhaust, Extreme Technology steering damper, 240mm rear disc and twin piston caliper, Assymetric cast aluminium swingarm, Carbon fibre heel plates and factory fitted colour coded Race cowl

The first impression of these bikes is that of a slightly clattery, and mechanical machine, certainly versus a Japanese in-line 4. However, that soon changes and with the oil warmed through, and the bike ridden as intended, the motor is quite wondrous, hugely willing, musical, one that just thrives on revs and with a distinctive triple cylinder howl

Bespoke Benelli tailored bike cover included along with various spare parts and original parts removed for warranty

A genuinely rare, exotic, highly individual and headturning Italian Superbike
