The factory is now open again supported by fresh Chinese cash and it is working on full steam with two brand new models based on the 1130cc triple from TNT. All the TNT special editions will now be launched as well.

The two new models are a brand new Tornado 1130 which is excpected to take the most powerful triple throne when launched in Milan 15 November. Tornado RS is in 900 cc guise claimed at 147 bhp so with 230cc more it will most certainly break the 150bhp mark rivalling machines such as Ducati 999R and Aprilia RSV-R Factory whilst beating Triumph’s ageing Daytona 955i which currently holds the most powerful triple engine in production.
