Benelli Tornado RS

Our Review

Reviewed: by Visordown
Compared to the standard Tornado’s £12,000 price tag, what does the extra £2000 cost of the RS version get you? First of all there are the obligatory radial brake calipers, uprated Marzocchi forks, forged OZ wheels and, of course, carbon mudguards. The engine gets new profile cams, a new fuel-injection ...  Continue reading

I have owned my Benelli Tornado RS for over 4 years now, its been trouble free & I love it & would never ever consider selling it. The service bills can be on the high side & its not an every day bike that you are going to comute on but on a sunny sunday with an empty road there are few that hold a candle to this bike. It sounds fantastic & has so much kit on it that newer jap bike owners drool over it. I had my one resprayed as I didnt like the Red.....its a bit orange to be honest. I had mine done in Fortuna race colours & it really suits it. No matter where I park it people want to ask about it & take photos. Its not an easy bike to ride, the suspension is mega hard but makes perfect sense when leant over on high speed corners, it really does handle very well. As for neutral, its hard to find because it designed like that so you dont get false neutrals when going back up through the box. How many 04 bikes have an Adjustable slipper clutch, OZ wheels, Cassette Gearbox, Steering damper, adjustable swingarm pivot, braided hoses, oil cooler, extreme tech fully adjustable rear shock & Gold series Brembo radial Calipers as standard??

I love my Benelli Rs & so does everyone that sees & hears it.

Need to know

Keener to rev than the standard Tornado and has a few extra bhp in the mid-range.
 
A bit too harsh for road use and not very comfortable.
