BN 600 R

2014 Benelli BN 600 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Benelli's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Benelli BN 600 R relies on a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 82 HP (59.9 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 55 Nm (40.6 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 136.7 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,500 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the BN 600 R measures 220 kg (485 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.37 HP/kg (2.68 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 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
