Now I feel, I should have waited for the ABS model

Hold on buddy, SVC informed that company is already in the works of getting the option to retrofit ABS on existing models but the cost would be higher, possibly around 60k-70k. This is because of the possible future govt. rule that ABS will be compulsory.

Got to wait for 1 year to get the finances right.. Man its hell to wait for that long..

That's a pretty long wait! But if it pleases you, you could check out the Honda CBR650F. It is costlier than the Benelli 600 versions and the Kawasaki z800, but is still cheaper than the Daytona 675RR.

If you're looking for just the above 600cc class then give the CBR650F a shot. If it's more of a mean machine in terms of specs then the Daytona is your best bet, as the Benelli 600i is no mean machine in terms of specs and neither would be a 600i faired version (which doesn't exist as of now). The CBR650F is an all round excellent bike except in the pricing dept.

I believe if and when the rule is implied, it would only be implied on the vehicles which are going to be manufactured after the rule implication and does not apply for existing vehicles.

Knowing the way our govts work, I highly doubt that will be the case, but regardless of that, this is the reason I was given when inquired about retrofitting ABS on existing models.

I guess you are right as I came across an article regarding the same, so a deadline of April 2018 will be for all existing vehicles to be fitted with ABS, how fruitful it would be that I doubt on retrofitting the ABS unit in bikes, which don't even have as an option, for example the RE bikes!!

ABS and CBS made mandatory in all 125cc+ Indian bikes by April 2017 - motorcykle.in

Well when this rule does come out, RE will have no option than to start working on getting ABS on all their units. This goes for all companies if they want to remain in the market.

On another note, I should be able to get my beautiful machine by today evening if all goes well! Pics wont be an option as its pouring since morning. But the bike is ready and I cant wait to get it home!!

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

govt rules are applied from the day the new orders come into existence. from the day the ABS will be compulsory the bikes manufactured from that day onward will be ABS not before that date.

But I really believe company should come up with a plan to fit older model with ABS version. Its not rocket science for them to do it

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

I ahve also a feeling that now all CC bikes will fall into this rule.. I think lesser CC bikes like 100 to 150 would be exempted.. just a feeling ..

I asked again and again I was informed that they are working on the system for retrofitting ABS on existing models. As of now it's not possible but will be in near future. I got my bike home today and the ABS switch placement is at the clip holder on the handlebar for the left rear view mirror. Seeing this, it seems they kept in mind the mechanism for retrofitting ABS as the current ABS seems its just added to the older units. Not a complete rework as I thought it would be.

The article says that the rule will apply to newer models from 2017 but by 2018 all older models will have to be fitted with ABS.
ABS and CBS made mandatory in all 125cc+ Indian bikes by April 2017 - motorcykle.in

Also inquired about the GT600 with ABS and was given a negative reply that it wont be out this year.

Rule says 125cc or 16bhp. So all entry level bikes will be exempted and some 150s will never see 16bhp even when possible bcz price increase will deter their customers.

Here are some pics of the black stallion!

The ABS switch is at the base of the left rear view mirror. The ABS indicator is the orange light at the bottom. Light being on indicates that the ABS is off and vice versa.
