Below are my three girls,
The Veloce is like a wild animal especially with the QD pipe, great fun on the long twisty roads I'm looking forward to putting a few miles on her this year.
The Tuono is almost as powerful and spirited but more controllable than the Veloce and is a superb, comfortable touring machine (I have a Ventura luggage system for it not very good looking but really easy to use).
The Benelli TNT Sport is I think the prettiest, and has a unique power due to its 3 pot motor, and is a superb handling machine especially on tight fast bends, It is the second TNT I have owned, Sadly due to space and the amount of riding time I am going to have this year I am letting the Benelli TNT go.

Great bikes!

I am just surprised you would have three bikes that are ultimately very similar, and all from my shortlist before finally getting the Corsaro. I actually had decided on the Tuono, but then I had a go on the Corsaro...

Others that I was close to getting: MV Agusta Brutale 910S, KTM SuperDuke, Triumph Speed Triple.

I have ridden a Brutale 989 R for a good 300 miles over 3 days and loved it, the power, it's handling and looks BUT for anyone over 5-10" it's so cramped to the point of painful.
The Tuono is without a doubt the biggest and highest of the three bikes and at 6-2" I find it really comfortable to ride, it handles really well and is superb for touring
The Benelli TNT Sport has unbelievable handling, looks gorgeous and is the perfect blend of 4 cylinder smoothness and V Twin grunt, the frame is a little more cramped than the Veloce but nowhere near as bad as the Brutale, I love the TNT but felt it was time for a change, (having owned two) hence me buying the Veloce, which so far is impressing me with it's power and handling (although I am going to change the stock tyres ASAP)
I appreciate your comment that they are all similar type of bikes however I have to say they may all be Italian but that's where the similarities stop, they all have very different personalities when you ride them

Totally agree that they have very different personalities. My brother has a Tuono so we have been able to very much compare it with the Corsaro. Also, I do agree the Brutale is too cramped for me (1m87), but I do love its chassis.

I think when comparing the Tuono and the Corsaro it becomes obvious that the Tuono is a sports bike without the fairing, and the Corsaro is a purpose built roadster. Especially through high speed corners I find the Tuono to be particularly planted.

If only I would manage to find a house with a proper garage I could increase my vehicle collection. First on my list is a Ducati Sports Classic 1000S in the 2009 black! For me one of the best looking bikes around. Probably there would be some space also for an Aprilia RSV4 too...

I like your taste in bikes Henrik, another bike I would also love to own is a Bimoto Tesi3D but room and funds means it has to stay on my wish list
I do like the look of the new Ducati Streetfighter but it's not had the best press reports so far and I think it is overpriced compared to similar bikes.

ride careful,

In Italy we says "Buongustaio", those are my favorite bike too...
