2006 Benelli TnT Cafe Racer Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Benelli's naked motorcycle platform, the 2006 Benelli TnT Cafe Racer pairs a 1130 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 135.4 HP (98.9 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 119.8 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.

On the scales, the TnT Cafe Racer measures 196 kg (432 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.69 HP/kg (1.45 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 1,419 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
