| 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.
