Another one today that stands out as rare within a rare niche. Norman found a 2003 model and wrote about it back in 2022 on RSBFS, claiming that if he had to pick one bike to ride it would be a Binelli Tornado. I’m curious to hear if others feel the same way. That Benelli had 4,400 miles and sold on BaT for $20,000.
When asked how the tank design worked on the track, the seller responded, “It’s the little things like the tank shape that keeps me appreciating this bike. If you are familiar with a rope cleat on a boat, it has a V shape and the harder you pull on the rope, the tighter it is held. The tank works like that. When you are hanging off the bike, your inner thigh locks right into that V and it holds you tight. For braking, regardless of the shape of the tank, you should be squeezing the tank with your knees to support your upper body (you should not have any weight on the bars) and to prevent your body from moving forward – the weight transfer can cause the rear end to lift. Sorry for the long-winded response, track school instructor in me comes out sometimes :)”
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
Yikes!!! Looks like my old bike ???
Yikes in a good way or in a bad way? lol I am in the market for a Benelli Tornado or TNT.
