Almost a year after Benda announced the new model, images of the much-anticipated VTR-300 Turbo have appeared online. Though the release of this 300cc sportbike is likely still several months away, we already have a good sense of what to expect. Unlike most Chinese manufacturers, Benda has consistently produced motorcycles with unique designs that meet European standards.
The same can certainly be said about the VTR-300 Turbo, both in terms of its styling, but more so, about what lies beneath the fairings. While the turbo isn't visible in the images, it's more than likely that it's hidden beneath the fairing. It is speculated that VTR-300 will use the same 298cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine as the other models in the Benda range, which is rated at around 30 horsepower. However, a point made by German motorcycling publication, Motorrad Online, suggests that a V-Twin engine isn’t practical for a forced-induction application.
