      Red is twice, whereas in the Italian flag, its just once.

It has got high low-end torque making it very easy to drive in traffic. The suspension was also too good and so was the braking.
        This was with the old model.

        In 2016 model the bike has been changed inside out.

        They have improved the low-end torque and braking with traction control.

        It's a brilliant bike.
        Can you please refer to the above any clarify what all if any are the changes for the 2016 street triple? Will be glad to know.

          Yes, red is twice. I added red on purpose as it was looking good

          BTW, guys I have facing this problem from few months, I don't know what has happened. But I can feel that there is something that is trying to stop the front wheel slightly sometimes. It is noticeable only when I try to move the bike and turn the handle at say less then 10kmph. It feels like I have applied the front brakes slightly but I haven't.

          On a single rotation of the wheel , the squeak sound comes only at some particular position of the wheel and not for the whole single rotation of the wheel

          I even checked the disk for unevenness but both discs are good. I can feel this slight obstruction to the moving wheel through the handle bars.

          I think I need to take it to the service center

              get the brake lining bleeded with pressure. check brake oil pressure. also ask sc guys to check if the master cylinder is performing right or not.

                Guys, after quite a while of thought process and longing to upgrade to scrambler, I have finally decided to keep my 600i now. Also enjoying it more n more these days as I am past the thoughts of selling it. So its good to be back and active here again with you all.

                so, latest 'chull' is, has anyone tried getting a Quick Throttle of our bike ? If yes please do share. If not, please try and look for any option available.
                I really think our 600 needs a quick throttle to save all that wring on longer rides. I'm sure it'll save some wrist fatigue too

                    Guys most of the reviews state the bike lacks low end torque. Some one even said bike feels like Karizma/P220 below 2000/3000rpm. Do you find low end lacking ?
                    has anyone tried Z800(which supposed to have good low end torque) , how does Benelli feel against Z800 for power delivery ?

                      Yes I heard the sane thing, its devoid of torque, I guess thats for city usage, that low end torque is reduced, z800 on the other spose to have a very sensitive throttle, I.e it will a little wring of the throttle and it goes, I think the CBR 650 is right in the middle, it has torque but not as much as the z but more than the benelli but smoother.

                        I'd say there should be a filter about 'who' is saying 'what'.
                        do they even understand the difference between 'lack of something' and 'character of something'. True that benelli doesnt have the initial punch, but is that even required mostly ? I guess the calm initial of this bike results in making this one of the most comfortable to ride around, be it highways or bumper to bumper. you cant do that with mostly any other sbk available. Even the duke390 fries your crotch, but this one amazingly manages to stay much cooler in worst situations. I havent ridden z800 so I really dont have much reviews of comparison points here. But I just wanted to mention that people should first understand the character of bike rather dissing.

                          True, people don't understand benelli's power comes after 8000rpm which is not possible to see unless ur on the track or empty 4 lane highway, also low torque makes it very easy to ride in the cities, with the addition of abs, I'm closely keeping my eye on this bike as a upgrade

                            Thanks, will ask the service guys to do it, but the brakes are fine. I can stop the bike properly when I apply the front brake, Just the squeaking sound every now and then

                              There might be some grime or dirt stuck in the brake pads that might be causing the squeaking.. Might as well get that checked..
