Benelli is lucky to have a powerhouse of a motorcycle manufacturing company as its parent company, as we’re surely in for an exciting 2023 with all the new Benelli models that have recently been introduced in China. The brand recently introduced two new TRK models—the 800 and the 702, apart from having new naked models in the pipeline too. The latest news from the Chinese-owned Italian brand? Well, it turns out they have a new engine in the works.
I think at this point, it’s safe to assume that the 800cc to 900cc class of motorcycle is indeed the new middleweight category. Most 650cc models are now considered by many as novice machines, although their performance figures and specs may lead you to believe otherwise. Regardless of what I, or others think, nearly all manufacturers have been focusing efforts in the 800cc to 900cc class, with the likes of KTM, Yamaha, Triumph, and Ducati all centering their mid-market offerings on this segment. Benelli looks to join the game, as well, with a new engine displacing 799 cubes.
