    Wow, hey congrats [MENTION=64547]TheArcher84[/MENTION]. Am glad you found a bike that appeals to you so completely..
    There is no happiness for him who does not travel!
    The fortune of a man who is sitting, sits; it rises when he rises; it sleeps when he sleeps; it moves when he moves.
    Therefore, Wander!

      So far, its been ok at home..Nothing to confirm unless I get the booking receipt under my name. Then I can relax myself...

      I didnt get a chance to see the Red one...But I got lost in the white charm. IMO, Red should be an eye catcher. Only downside for me was the frame was all black on the red machine, which I didnt find it catchy...thats why i went for the White,


      I feel vindicated.

One favor mate, once you get the delivery of your machine, can you post the pics of the white and red one side by side, if possible?

            These guys have all accessories (almost all) for the bike - Frame sliders, Fork protectors, bar-end weights...I didnt bother to see the rest. I was more eager to listen to the exhaust note (my bad luck, I had a customer vehicle for service with stock exhaust and not IXIL). Man, the sound blew me away in stock, bike running in idle at 1500 rpm.

            Pics dont do any justice for these machines. Its damn huge in person. My foot was firmly planted on the ground with the seat height being perfect for me (5'7"). But I didnt manage to get a TD as the vehicles didnt come on time from the promo event. Sharath (Showroom manager) promised me to get one asap.

            I told him I will be making my initial downpayment of 3L for TNT600i . I am planning to go for While with Red Trellis. OTR in chennai is 600997 INR

            congrats.. awaiting your review on the bike.. will try to meet you and your 600i in person the next time I hit chennai.. I am planning for 600cc bike in the near future and as of now, this is the only inline 4 option I have within the reach of a salaried person like me

            All the best and ride safe.. Don't forget to get better riding gears

                      Seems like test ride is a mere formality as I see you have changed your xBHP avatar to Benelli

                        Spot on..Just need to tick one off my list. But, Need to feel the clutch play. The one which i saw in the showroom had a very hard clutch. Will need some serious strength to drive it in B2B traffic. When I asked him about that, He said, this bike is like that and customer didnt ask for the change. TD bikes will have much smoother than this. So, need to see in person and check if I will end up getting one like this or not.

                        Anyways, I will order an adjustable lever for brakes and Clutch. (Not sure if the brakes comes with Adjustable lever as stock).

                          Hmmm...what I heard was that clutch on 600 and 899 are on heavier side...better to check in person...all the best..

                            Got a call from benelli head office regarding the 1st service feedback..
                            It's good that company is in direct touch with the customer and value their satisfaction.

                              That is terrific to hear ! Hope issues, when reported, are handled too unlike Orion motors, Yamaha in Bangalore !
