Built around Benelli's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2015 Benelli BN 600 GT utilizes a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 84 HP (61.3 kW) at 11,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 56 Nm (41.3 lb-ft) at 8,100 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 140 HP per liter and a 2,900 rpm working window between peak torque (8,100 rpm) and peak power (11,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the BN 600 GT measures 243 kg (536 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.89 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 27-liter (7.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
