The 2012 Benelli Century 1130 Racer
2012 Benelli Century 1130 Racer sits at the top of Benelli's naked bike range, the big-bore streetfighter for riders who've outgrown middleweights. This is a heavy-hitting inline-triple built for punchy midrange pull rather than outright top-end drama, and that character suits real roads more than racetracks. Ergonomics lean aggressive but the low seat height keeps it approachable for shorter riders, while the chain final drive and substantial curb weight remind you this is a physical, planted machine rather than a flickable toy. Fuel range from the 17-liter tank is modest, so this isn't really built for long-haul touring.
The 2012 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2011 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Parts availability and dealer support for Benelli's Italian-Chinese ownership era are worth researching before buying.
Expect interest from riders trading up from mid-displacement nakeds who want more torque and presence without moving to a mainstream Japanese or European liter-bike. Collector interest remains moderate, appealing mostly to Benelli loyalists and those drawn to the brand's less common, lower-production models rather than mainstream investors.
