What's the difference with the 1130's vs the 900's apart from the obvious!
Arent they a slightly newer engine 2006?? 30bhp more? Z25 problems still are they better engines?
Fancy an upgrade maybe next year but don't know if there much better or a worthy upgrade or not

Not really a great chance of that! Don't think iv seen any demonstrator tornados, I couldn't even get a test ride on a 900, plus the only people that seem to have new ones advertised are Kjm.
do these engines still suffer the usual woes?

Depends what 900 you have . A 1130 Tre has dry clutch , radial brakes and beefier forks and more adjustable suspension than Tre's but if you were to look at a RS the clutch is obviously different but the RS has slight amount of carbon but not much . The 1130 Tre is a damm fine bike and if your never going to own an LE the pinnacle of Tre's then a 1130 is the best option ( RS' s are only slightly behind because of no dry clutch ) .
Ultimately an LE is what every self respected Benelli nutter wants IMHO :clap:

To be honest you'll find the 1130 feels that little bit more powerful without thrusting it in your face , it all happens in a less troubled way and you generally feel more torque than rush IMO . Note ........ the clutch rattle is lovely ........ all race bike like :D
Ps get a go on a TnT1130 ...... you'll want one of them too !

I've had two 900 Tornado's and covered 17000 miles between them. I'd love another.
With these 900 Tornado it isn't the outright power that rings my bell it's using it's full potential on the road without going silly and that all important induction sound.

The TNT1130's make no sound at all TBH.:confused:

the biggest difference you will notice is torque, roll on in top gear makes riding the 1130 much easier than the 900, less gear changing, power difference not mahosive but noticable

later build engines mean more reliable, no hot start issues, no overheating my fans hardly ever come on, neutral easy to find

But there have been a few members who have had issues, but they are benellis

ask kjm for a test ride, i bought their demostrator, but you may be lucky on a brand new baby, dont ask dont get

I love my TNT 899,the lads i go out with have also really took a liking to it as well,but if im honest i regret jumping in and impulsively buying the baby TNT,i wish id done my research and held out for a later model TNT1130,esp that R160 version,OMG that's naughty piece of kit.
