  • Benelli 600i or kawasaki z650

    Which one is better as z650 is more value for money as compare to 600i ,kawasaki reduced 17kgs from er6n while developing z650.despite kawasaki reduced BHP but still z650 is manageable in city too .where as on the other hand benelli is most affordable inline4 and that bike looks gorgeous is white and red .kawacker shows linear power delivery and 600i shows thrills at higher rpms .so whats your take on this topic

          If you are blind folded only by looks...then you need to seriously consider what you have quoted here. Did you dig deeper about the ownership costs, perils or surprises the above mentioned bikes has. Both are good enough for city and highway blasts (leaving aside the wind blast and things..).

          IMO, maintenance of a Kwacker is much lesser compared to 600i, due to it shorters service intervals and higher cost of spares. So, before your jump your guns, decide on the ownership and maintenance cost of these bikes as well, One might be a sucker of a I-4 (I was also one of those ).

                You can check with Khivraj on Kasturba road, they do Kawasaki bikes service.

                    Bro I don't know about the Kawasaki service center, but there's a place called torque 92 in sahakarnagar
                    They're authorised spartan dealers plus they do all the servicing for high end and premium bikes
                    Went to buy a helmet with them, saw Harley's, triumph, D390 and Daytona and much more being serviced by them

                        Interesting Thread!! Something I'm sure many will be having questions about.

                        But given the argument of Shorter Service Intervals of Binelli adding up costs against the Kawasaki still holds after the near double increase of Service Cost by Kawasaki?

                        Having a Service Rate Comparison will give a better insight into this.

                          Z650 184 kg
                          600i 231 kg

                          Those extra 50 kg will always haunt you.


                          Here is a bike buying formula

                          1: Buy a bike you have your heart on
                          2: Incase of heart on more than 1 bike, always go for less weight. Why? Because power to weight ratio

                            The dealer for Kawasaki in Bangalore is RIDEVENTUR. The showroom is on Langford road and the service center is in Jayanagar.

                              What about khivraj? Are they still the dealers? Have heard earlier that they have withdrawn. ..
