Benelli has revealed three brand new motorcycles at EICMA 2015. All three motorcycles fall into different categories, but each model displaces under 500cc with the range including an adventure motorcycle, a scrambler and a faired sportsbike.

Tornado 302

The sportsbike uses a steel tube frame that is visible on the outside, gets side mounted twin-port exhaust pipes on the right side, upside-down (USD) front forks, a rear monoshock absorber, with the stopping power coming from dual disc brakes (Front: 260 mm / Rear: 240 mm) with ABS offered as well. 

The bike features a sharply sculpted fuel tank with what some may consider one too many character lines, split seats and a rather bulbous front end with a large headlamp cluster that looks like it has drawn inspiration from the Kawasaki ZX-14R.
