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.

I have already got my photographer lined up for a day long shoot...So it will be taken care....Originally posted by cbr250 View PostOh man that's some tough stuff i see there :P. I wish you get your hands on it ASAP. What you said is actually true, the black trellis seem to be less attractive and catchy. 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?

Originally posted by TheArcher84 View PostMyself atlast got a chance to see the beast incarnate. Man..what en experience it was. The showroom manager here in Chennai was very kind to answer. I popped in on Saturday morning and spent almost 1 hr there talking to them about payment and other options.
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

Seems like test ride is a mere formality as I see you have changed your xBHP avatar to BenelliOriginally posted by TheArcher84 View PostYeah buddy...I feel i have conqured everest (a smaller version and less punishing one though), But I feel happy.

re: Benelli TNT 600i - Onwers' Reviews & Experiences
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.Originally posted by experimentalhead View PostSeems like test ride is a mere formality as I see you have changed your xBHP avatar to Benelli
Anyways, I will order an adjustable lever for brakes and Clutch. (Not sure if the brakes comes with Adjustable lever as stock).R15S - Current
