Iconic's 3rd auction going live for our site today's a 2008 Benelli Tre-K 1130 Amazonas! It has a smooth engine with 112 Nm of torque, handles curves well, and has fantastic dual-purpose tires! This one's from '08 with just under 300 miles on the clock, and it's available for bid now on Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com
Sharing several parallels with the Ducati Multistrada, the Benelli Tre-K was a street-oriented touring bike that as long as you don’t mind having almost non-existent dealer support, a modern Benelli offers an incredible riding experience in a package that makes Ducatis seem run of the mill. While most people think of sport bikes or naked superbikes like the Tornado or TnT, some journalists (like Michael Neeves with MCN) thought the Tre-K, a street-oriented tourer that’s similar to a Multistrada – to be the best new Benelli yet.
Like the Multi, the TRE K is a street-oriented adventure bike, though this is one of the “Amazonas” variants that adds spoked-wheels (with a larger 19″ wheel up front) and wave brake rotors for a slightly more off-road friendly version. It’s one of the more attractive dual-sport packages from the time, and it’ll stand out at a bike night!
The engine produces 123 horsepower and 85 pound feet of torque, and Neeves said it was “10 times more exciting” than the powerplant in the 1100 Multistrada. In addition to the exclusivity factor, this bike was supposedly a “practical, user friendly motorcycle brought to life by a huge injection of Italian charm, speed, and handling.” Quite a lot of praise then.
The seller acquired it eight months ago from a dealership in Arizona through a Bring a Trailer auction. There is also a previous auction of the bike available here when it was sold with 16 miles. During his ownership, the seller covered roughly 160 miles. The odometer shows 289 miles. It is US and California emissions compliant.
Seller states: “This is 1 of 5 Benelli Tre-k 1130’s imported into the US. In my opinion its the Bimota of Adventure bikes. Its raw and noisy, but the 3 cylinder motor sounds like a F1 motor and the gearbox is slick as can be. It looks like nothing else out there. I sold my 2025 Multistrada V4 and decided I would ride this. The long travel suspension I figured would be good for high speed off road driving. Service parts are readily available in the US and everything else you can get from Manic Motors in Germany, as well as performance parts. They have a lowering kit as well.”
