The new Benelli Tre-K 899 is an important bike for the legendary Italian firm.
Thursday, May 28, 2009
 
The new Benelli Tre-K 899 is an important bike for the legendary Italian firm. Benelli has fallen off the radar of late. At the turn of the millennium, the firm was flying high – it had a great new motor, an inventive designer, a world superbike team and a rich owner. But the years haven't been kind to Benelli, and even after the Chinese bought in, the firm still struggles against rivals from both home and abroad. So there's a lot riding on the new Tre-K, a bike that sits right on the edge of Benelli's reputation as a sportsbike manufacturer.

MotoGP History, The Italians Join
Thursday, January 31, 2008
 
While Ducati were busy congratulating themselves for having decided to join the elite band of GP1 once confirmation had come through that Aprilia were doing the same, Benelli quietly going about preparing for their first World Championship ever for over three decades. The unique in-line triple format has never been raced in WSB before, and the ambitious Merloni family were fully aware that such a close identity between their road and race bikes was a two edged sword that could work massively in their favor if the race bikes were successful, but could irreparable dent their reputation if they were a flop. Racing after all is not necessary, as both Triumph and Kawasaki had proved. But if you’re going to do it, job’s got to be good one.

2007 Benelli Tre 1130 K - First Ride (Motorcycle USA)
Monday, January 22, 2007
 
Benelli's Finest It's not the fastest or the sexiest, but the new Tre K is without doubt the best Benelli yet. The Tre K is Benelli's take on the do-anything, go-anywhere road bike. With its comfy riding position, punchy triple-cylinder motor and fine handling chassis, the Tre K is as at home trundling along the motorway down to the south of France as it is scratching down the mountain roads when you get there. ....Since the rebirth of Benelli in 2002, the Italian bike makers have been best known for their performance bikes: the clinically insane TnT super naked and the Tornado, which they campaigned in World Superbike. So, with such focused, single-minded machines in their stable, why is this jack-of-all-trades all-rounder the best Benelli yet?

Benelli to Enter MotoGP
Monday, December 18, 2006
 

The depleted grids of the MotoGP class will receive a welcome boost in 2008, with the arrival of a two-rider team from Benelli. Alan investigates the importance of competition for the now Chinese-owned Italian marque.

Benelli has been absent from the Grand Prix paddock since 1973, when Walter Villa (later to win four world titles in the 250cc/350cc classes with Harley-Davidson} raced a solitary four-cylinder entry in the 350c and 500cc classes. .....
