Show Us Yours: Ian’s Benelli TNT 1130 Café Racer

Eight years of ownership and Ian is still happy as ever with this beauty.

Owned for 8 years, this CR is one of only 9 in the UK according to How Many Left.

Sharing the garage with two 900 and one 1130 tornado you could say I am something of a fan.

The CR has proved to be extremely reliable during my time with it, including a fabulous trip to the 2023 TT.

Its distinctive looks may not be to everyone’s taste but I love it, with a great combination of performance, comfort and handling.

From the factory the fueling can be terrible, but now nicely sorted with the great assistance of the boys from Bennetts of Barnsley. Trivia fact, the TNt was the first production bike to feature switchable fuel maps.
