Benelli's TNT 899 reviewed

Most people wouldn't guess that the Benelli TNT 899 is a decade old bike by looking at it. Unveiled in 2004, its design looks futuristic and stylish even today.

A carbon fibre mud guard and belly scoop and the abundance of Italian colours give it the exotic flavour.

Build quality is reassuring and the fit and finish is good, but not as rich as most modern motorcycles. Also, the simple design and graphics on the part digital and part analogue instrument cluster look a bit dated. However, these shortcomings do little to dim the appeal of the bike.
