At the heart of the 2008 Benelli Cafe Racer 1130 naked motorcycle, Benelli features a 1130 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 127.4 HP (93 kW) at 9,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 112.7 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,750 rpm) and peak power (9,250 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,443 mm (56.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
