Benelli joins the 300cc faired market with the Tornado 302, launched at Milan

It’s not the most dynamic of motorcycles launched at this year’s EICMA event in Milan, but this little 300cc bike from Benelli is arguably the most important from the company.

That’s because this is the newest, faired bike that’s aiming squarely for the blossoming 300cc market in the emerging markets of Asia and South America.

We don’t yet have a price or release date for the bike but we do know that this bike gets the same 300cc parallel-twin motor which makes 26bhp as Benelli used in the Benelli BN302.

Expect the bike to appear in dealers and with a price attached from the Chinese owners of the Benelli brand around summer 2016.
