Positioned in Benelli's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Benelli Cafe Racer 1130 features a 1131 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 135.4 HP (98.9 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 110 Nm (81.1 lb-ft) at 7,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 119.7 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,750 rpm) and peak power (9,500 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 Cafe Racer 1130 measures 215 kg (474 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.63 HP/kg (1.59 kg per horsepower). 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.
