2023 Benelli Motorcycles

Ever wondered what the complete range of new motorcycles a manufacturer has for a particular year? Now that the lock downs have disappeared I can begin my search for a new motorcycle. As usual I have not idea what to buy – more to the distress of any sales rep than anyone else. I’m sure there are a few people like myself who aren’t swayed by marketing or any particular model and just after an interesting motorcycle that looks and goes well in our eyes. 

So this week’s spotlight motorcycle brand and the next part of my journey is: Benelli Motorcycles. The band is certainly not at its peak but it was a well known Italian brand in it’s hey day then briefly in the 2000’s for the Tornado Tre sport bike. In 2023 Benelli is mainly known in Italy for it’s now commuter and touring models based on various Chinese manufactured engines. Another marque that has fallen on hard times yet hanging on. Racing history = vaguely, Italian = yes, Great specs = no , Looks = no – let’s face it all its models look ‘derived’ from other Italian brands. Benelli motorcycles are cheap for the paper specs but that’s all – for the moment. 

So here are the Benelli motorcycle models for 2023 – I’ve also decided to bookmark the page and update it with my comments over time on each model as I research each one.
