Benelli is looking good

I'm looking at and liking the new Benelli TNT600 and TNT300, imported by SSR. I'm surprised I forgot about these guys. Yes it costs $3999. But SSR is running a $300 rebate right now, so it's $3699. And that gets you a bike with a 4-valve, fuel-injected, DOHC, water-cooled twin that makes 34 horsepower at the rear wheel. The TNT600 is in direct competition with the MT-07 and SV650... for $1800 to $1900 less than the MSRP for either of those bikes. (with the current $300 rebate).

Yeah, they're not bargain basement bikes. And they're transformery naked sportbikes. I like the naked, but not the sportbike part. But still... it's a HUGE step in the right direction. Direct competition with the big four, with horsepower numbers that make sense for the American highway, at prices that can't be beat.

If they offered a sport-touring version of the TNT600 with hard cases and a windshield, I'd be tempted.
