along with a list of other 'guesses' that i said i wouldnt comment on.
i did go naked.
right now benelli only makes triples but they are in developement of a couple other types. all their different engines are the same with different bores and or strokes.

benelli is still designed and built in Italy. they are just owned by Qianjiang Group. hell aprilia is owned by piago. its not a bad thing, benelli was about to go broke before, and the Chinese group has money to invest in there future development.

Actually, they also build and sell single-cylinder dirt bikes and supermotards... IN terms of their triples, they are offered in 899s (for most models) and 1130s

the original triple was 900cc. the 1130 is that engine with the bore and stroke increased. the new 899 engine (not available on U.S. models) is the same bore as the 1130 but destroked.
yeah ive actually seen a benelli dirt bike, i forgot about that stuff. and yeah i dont think the china investment is bad. china has something to do with everything any more.
