2011 Benelli Century Racer 899
2011 Benelli Century Racer 899... The model TNT 899 is reviewed with particular reference to the frame, giving this motorcycle a more sporting attitude: First of all the colour of the “centenary”: this is the green of the racing Benelli motorbikes of Pasolini in a modern interpretation; The introduction of the historical brand Benelli of the 60’s; The front fork “MARZOCCHI” becomes completely adjustable (DIA 50mm) and the finishing becomes black (black oxydation of the fork sliders); Use of front radial calipers “BREMBO”; Front brake discs (DIA 320mm) / rear (DIA 240mm), type “WAVE“ supplied by BRAKING; The seat is enriched thanks to the use of “alcantara” fabric; The “trim and colour” of the model has been renewed; The single-seat rear cowling has been introduced; The map of the engine has been reset; The camshaft cover and the spring of the rear shock absorber is now yellow and characterise the sporting touch of the 2011 Benelli Century Racer 899. Availability: March 2011 Colours: Centenary Green.
