1st service at 1000/30 days. - This is more or less similar almost all bikes as they are in initial run in period. ~7K cost
2nd at 6K/6months - no oil change compulsion ~ 3K cost
3rd at 12K/1 year - oil change and so on. ~15K cost

Hmmm..thats weird..so if we sum it all up...its comes more or less the same cost as that of the 600 in an year. If not the same..may be few Ks less.

By the way..Forgot the important one...have booked my Black Stallion today

. Paid 312390 as DP and rest 3L as finance with HDFC at 7.5% for 3 years. So my EMI would come upto 10.1k per month.

I dont think they are explaining you about the 'big' service where they change filters and do everything they will want to do. I am sure that is certain to cost more.

Congrats on being this much nearer to realizing the dream

Enjoy the wait as much as you can. Also get the gears during this time if you are yet to get them

So I can soon expect the Ambur Biriyani treat

Not to spoil the party but, 7.5%. Reducing basis ? That would be brilliant if it is so. I doubt it is the fixed rate though. You could have saved a good amount by applying for the loan at a nationalized bank like Vijaya bank.
For 3 years, 3lac, 10.4% it is coming out to be 97XX so 400 per month for 36 months = Rs 14400 saving

Plus no penalties for pre closure or partial payments. Nothing to pay for paper works as well. Maybe, if it is not confirmed, you can get this changed ?

Vijaya Bank

Vijaya Bank

yeah...I need to get more insight on the Service intervals...Hell, We have decided to get it..what ever happens..lets face it later.
Thanks buddy. Yes, Sooner you shall have your treat

.

On the Loan perspective, I will confirm if it is reducing basis or fixed. Is that a personal loan or Auto loan % you have quoted from Vijaya Bank.

Exactly. Face it together, you and the stallion

So Ambur awaits. Wondering if Biriyani for breakfast is a good idea !

Vehicle loan at 10.4% reducing basis. AFAIK, all private players quote fixed rates to make it look better !

AFAIK both have service intervals at 4 months for the first year but acc to manual for benelli each service has oil replacement as well as oil filter replacement. It takes around 3 L of oil. Ninja has 4 monthly service but requires a single oil filter replacement and takes 2L engine oil. So cheaper on the long run.

Riding my Black Italian Stallion home - Benelli TNT 600i Ownership experience

Riding my Black Italian Stallion home - Benelli TNT 600i Ownership experience

Prologue:
----------
A child's dream I would say (atleast it was in my case though), Seated on the fuel tank while you are on your Dad's Hero Honda Sleek, I still remember asking him with a tearful eye 'Appa, na accelerator tharene please' (Translated - Dad, Can I give the throttle). He unwillingly agrees and let go of his right hand and leaves me to take charge. There I was, smiling and giggling as the bike goes fast and even faster as I twist my wrist with all the mighty strength that I could summon, Me unrealising what speed I was doing and my dad giving me a huge bonk on my head to check the speed and forcing me to let go of the throttle and demanding to control back.

That day was my first taste of in the motorcyle diary. That day, I was ever so happy, the feeling creeped inside of me and demanding more and more of it. Everytime I tried getting on the bike, I was asked to sit between my Dad and mom, which I refuse with a shake of my head. Unable to convince me, He lets me sit on the tank once again and there I was demanding the control for the space ship.

Since then my love for biking has ever been increasing. Few years later, When I was old enough to understand the concept of biking, Dad and me went for a Automobile show that took place in Chennai Trade Centre (It was a happening place for all meeting, shows, gatherings etc..and believe me, it still is ). First time in flesh, saw a twin cylinder bike (I have no idea which one i saw, But it was spectacular in one sense) . I was wondering who did a whack job like this to place two pipes out of an engine (It was funny to see it actually for the first time, you all know how we feel seeing different things at those age).

Few years passed, Love for Biking became a rage, I wanted to try myself driving once and I did it. Successfully rammed onto a cyclist who was chasing me down the alley to rip my head off. Hiding inside the house like nothing happend and my dad convinced him and paid him some and asked him to leave without causing any trouble. There end my dream of driving it anymore.

As years passed by, learnt again on my dad yamaha YBX and was able to drive cool and calm and convinced him, It is time for me to take the big leap - Getting a driving license (in his terms, it was license to kill, Tishkooooooom). Success atlast.

Back to the future 2015, Few weeks before
--------------------------------------
After a looong loooong discussions and seeking inout from fellow xbhpians, Watching numerous videos, Reading all local and international forums, Decided to go for Benelli TNT 600i. Now comes the toughest part, convincing my parents that this is the one.
I am not going into much details as the discussion has already been made as why I landed on this one.

Stood in front of the Almighty, Prayed and took blessings from the God himself and from my parents as well, Hit the road at 1030 am and landed into the Benelli - Chennai showroom, Met Mr.Sharath SUresh, who is such an approachable person. Heard all my queries and questions once again. Once convinced with the answers and got cleared of the confusion, Put the cheque down on the table and Booked a Black with Red Trestle 600. Boom !!!

There it goes, All smiles, Thanked my Dad for letting me buy what I wanted for the last 18 years.
Much more to follow once the Stallion has landed.............

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Last time when I visited around a month ago the on road price was 5.86 for 600i, even TNT300 price got increased by 5K.

**TheArcher84** · 06-18-2015, 05:24 PM

re: Benelli TNT 600i - Onwers' Reviews & Experiences

Think they are charging the same for the Road Side Assistance in Chennai too.
