When this bike came out, every review had some sort of pun playing off TNT and how explosive it was, but TNT actually stands for Tornado Nuda Tre. Tornado is the model name, and the rest translates to Naked Triple. And what a triple it is. Benelli also makes some 4 cylinder engines, but they simply aren’t as effective or …
1967 Aermacchi 350 Road Racer
6-5 Update: This bike is back up for sale with a much more reasonable BIN of $9,900 here on eBay. Post-Listing Update: This Aermacchi did not get any love at $13,900.

I still think it’s too expensive, but I figured you should at least see it!
