At the heart of the 2008 Benelli Velvet 150 scooter motorcycle, Benelli pairs a 149.9 cc (9.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 59.5 x 54.8 mm (2.3 x 2.2 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Velvet 150 measures 122 kg (269 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 818 mm (32.2 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
