    I read the thread from the start, but I guess you were still to reply about your issue getting fixed. If I am not wrong, in the whole thread only you have had a major problem.

    I summarize my reviews as mixed. I've owned the bike for 75 days and for the past 22 days it lays broken down. It broke down around 1800 kms on the odometer. My bike has an issue with the alternator.

    Refinement is great but not the reliability for me. If your bike stays problem free, you'll have a blast!!

        I think experimentalhead and abhijit have also had some serious issues. I'm mainly a city rider. These guys were touring when their bikes broke down if I'm not wrong.

          You can buy any saddle bag and fix it on the rear. I do it on my current bike while touring.

            I posted an update last week but got deleted during the VB5-->VB4 reversing. Hopefully may get my bike back by end of this week. Fingers crossed.

              I hope Dsk Benelli are not charging you for this?

                  200 km is too less to judge, anyone with thousands of kms...

                    [MENTION=78479]Shab[/MENTION]haz63 experimentalhead and couple of us including me have done close to 4k. It's around 3 months now.
                    The bike is absolutely fine.
                    It's a machine and there are chances that something's may go wrong. However so far have not faced any major issues.
                    I have been using this daily to office and during weekend for short rides. It amazes me every time.
                    I feel that it's worth every rupee that you put on this lovely bike.
                    However, have heard from few owners about few spares not being available immediately. This is with every company in the initial stages.
                    My suggestion is take the same class bike for test ride, like ninja, Yamaha, mojo coming soon, and Benelli
                    And decide for yourself what ticks you off.
                    Riding this bike is a pleasure every time I take it out. Gives a lot of satisfaction.
                    These are just my personal views and no offence here to any one or any thought here.

                      I dont know whats your riding style, but mine is redlining the bike in each gear (can call me mad for that). R15 is still going strong after almost 3 years (24k kms) by the same riding style. My question is whether or not Benelli engine will sustain such a riding style in the long run.

                              What is the possibility of the number plate hitting the mudguard. I thought of the same thing using the headlight mount to hold the clamps. However did not go ahead with it thinking of a bottom out scenario.

                                TNT 300's engine is a scaled-down older Yamaha R6 engine. So it'll be proper.
