re: Benelli TNT 600i - Owners' Reviews & Experiences
Hi Guys,
My first post on this thread and let me tell you that going through the 116 pages of posts here, I must say that I have got more information on the benelli 600i than I could have hoped for. I absolutely love the bike and can't wait to own one. Having said that since benelli has announced and showcased the abs variant, wanted to check if anyone has any clue of when it will be up for sale...the showroom folks of course wouldn't divulge the info, as that would affect their current sales. Cause, really if it's just a few months from now I might as well wait.

re: Benelli TNT 600i - Owners' Reviews & Experiences
Thanks a ton for the info. May aint that far and that would also probably mean that they would start taking the bookings sometime in April considering that they anyways take 20 days to deliver the bike post taking the full payment.Originally posted by TheArcher84 View PostFrom a meeting that was held just few days before at pune with the top boss, may is when we get to see the abs variant
Though I am surprised that when I checked with the Showroom just sometime back they said, ABS variant will come in August or at the end of the year, as per the info provided by DSK.

re: Benelli TNT 600i - Owners' Reviews & Experiences
True.. ABS will be available as an option for all the existing bikes, once it is released in the market at a price range of close to Rs 30K; though from what I know, fitting in an ABS is a very complex task and will require pretty much opening up of the entire electrical and most of the mechanical parts of the braking system.... While it will still be done by the Benelli Authorized Service centers, a bike built on an assembly line would always be better in finishing as compared to the one, re-done at the service center... just an apprehension.... just saying..Originally posted by Deathwing View PostEven the existing owners will apparently get abs too soo don't have to worry about waiting for a the abs model,that's what the person from the benelli showroom told me.

The showroom guys have no clue about it.Originally posted by gideontony View Postregarding the ABS..spoke to the showroom guy on the day i got my bike..he said "it's not a complex process, its gonna be a retro fitting" & he mentioned that it'll be available pretty soon & will cost approximately 30k!.
It depends on the type of abs, this will also require the instrument cluster to be changed most likely boosting the cost specially if its a switchable abs.

re: Benelli TNT 600i - Owners' Reviews & Experiences
Agree... there are just too many unknowns at this point and time, about the cost and the complexity of installing the kit on a current bike; so obviously will make sense to get the factory fitted ABS variant... the problem is that once you decide on what you want to buy and arrange the finances; every single day seems like eternity, which is what is happening in my case.... If only DSK came out with a timeline of when the ABS variant will be up for sale.... Not sure why they would want to delay it, now that I believe that the testing etc has been done..its been showcased at the Auto Expo and the IBW..... Just come out with it already....... jeezOriginally posted by teezam View PostThe showroom guys have no clue about it.

500 is a big numberOriginally posted by kunnu@cbz View PostFYI - Bangalore DSK Benelli sold 500 bikes and organizing a ride this Sunday to celebrate it.
Guys in Bangalore - who all planning to join?
. Sounds like, Benelli is having good time.
A few days ago, I had words with the someone from dealership distributor/manager for North India Benelli, and he was pretty confident with his words that we won't have ABS version anytime sooner than October-16.Originally posted by aksh1984 View PostAgree... there are just too many unknowns at this point and time, about the cost and the complexity of installing the kit on a current bike; so obviously will make sense to get the factory fitted ABS variant... the problem is that once you decide on what you want to buy and arrange the finances; every single day seems like eternity, which is what is happening in my case....

Hi,
Anybody has got the hard throttle issue and if so have you found out any solution for that. Please share.
I am fed up with hard throttle especially when going for long rides.
