Benelli celebrates 100 years of history with a new range of products for the year 2012, currently on display at the 2011 EICMA.
The most relevant model presented by the historic Italian brand (now owned by China’s Qianjiang Group) is probably the new Motard 250, developed by Benelli QJ for the worldwide market.
The model looks modern, neat and punchy, and should be fun to ride on all surfaces thanks to its 250 cc water-cooled engine delivering 25 hp and 21 Nm of peak torque.
Light (132kg) and reliable, Benelli Motard 250 will hit the market in the second half of 2012.
The price ahsn’t been disclosed yet, but it surely won’t be too expensive.
The second new bike from Benelli is called Caffènero 250, a very versatile scooter suitable for long trips and city traffic alike.
This model is pushed by a 250 cc single cylinder 4-stroke engine, water-cooled and with an output of 20.
8 hp and will be available from April 2012.
