This may be a quick motorcycle almost similar to the 2011 Benelli Cafe Racer 899, but in detail, the comparison between the 2011 Benelli Century Racer 899 by 2011 Benelli Cafe Racer 899 too much to be called one by one, following review for 2011 Benelli Century Racer 899. The model TNT 899 is reviewed with particular reference to the frame, giving this motorcycle a more sporting attitude: First of all the colour of the “centenary”: this is the green of the racing Benelli motorbikes of Pasolini in a modern interpretation; The introduction of the historical brand Benelli of the 60’s; The front fork “MARZOCCHI” becomes completely adjustable (DIA 50mm) and the finishing becomes black (black oxydation of the fork sliders); Use of front radial calipers 'BREMBO' Front brake discs (DIA 320mm) / rear (DIA 240mm), type 'WAVE' supplied by BRAKING; The seat is enriched thanks to the use of “alcantara” fabric; The 'trim and colour' of the model has been renewed. The single-seat rear cowling has been introduced; The map of the engine has been reset; The camshaft cover and the spring of the rear shock absorber is now yellow and characterise the sporting touch of the Century Racer. Availability: March 2011 Colours: Centenary Green
