Benelli's new sportbike, the 'Tornado 550,' produces 56hp from its 554cc twin-cylinder engine, balancing premium equipment with everyday comfort. With styling inspired by racing machines, it takes aim at the middleweight sportbike segment.
Some will laugh off 56 horsepower as weak, but a mid-class twin's whole appeal is being able to use everything it's got, wide open. No power going to waste, opening the throttle right through the corner. If the racing-derived looks are backed up by real substance, this should be a bike you can grin your way through both city streets and mountain roads on.

Even with modest power, if it's comfortable in the city it'd work great for commuting and light touring too.
Get compared to the RS660 as the same middleweight twin class and it comes off worse on power.
56hp is honestly a bit underwhelming to be calling itself a middleweight sport bike.
It's a Benelli, so depending on price it could really shine. If it's cheap, 56hp is plenty of fun.
554cc for 56hp — if it's built around everyday comfort that's about right, but still modest.
554cc seems like an oddly specific number, is there some actual advantage to it?
Glad to see the Benelli Tornado back, a 554cc twin sportbike sounds great.
