Positioned in Benelli's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Benelli Velvet 150 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 57.4 x 57.7 mm (2.3 x 2.3 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Velvet 150 measures 129 kg (284 lbs) wet (curb). 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, combined with a 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
