Nice write up @shahbaz63

The dimensions, some components, features, weight of this bike is kinda similar to that of a mid-weight sports bike. The 600-700 CCs. And it sort of perfectly sets you up for your next upgrade to a mid-weight street fighter.

Congrats buddy on your possession. What is that Boom-box at the end of the silencer pipe. Is that the Cat-con ?

Finally got back my bike. Here's the bill to get a fair idea of the cost of Spares.
Bike was ready last 16th, however the insurance guys delayed the payment by a week. It was a cashless arrangement and I just had to pay
Rs. 5311/- after insurance payout. Total time it took was around 3 weeks.

Was it a 0 depreciation insurance?

No offense though bud, what happened by the way for such a humongous bill.

Completed 1800 Kms. And I must say I am super satisfied by the bike.

Had a small incident a couple of weeks back on a Sunday at 6:00 AM. I hit an open drain in the CNR Rao Under pass near IISC in Bangalore. Before we jump to conclusions let me explain. ....

There are two 1.5 feet wide drains that run across the under pass. There are grill across the length of the drain to facilitate passage of vehicles. One of the grills was broken and i saw it in the last minute as it was out of sight as I was overtaking a bus. Hit the gap at around 70+ ... The bike held the ground and I managed to get out of the underpass. Then I realized my tires were loosing air pressure. Stopped by the side. On inspection realized both wheels took a beating. The impact was so bad that the front tire had a tear in two places on the left side of the tire. Both the front and rear wheels were bent and later in service center we realized, it is also cracked a bit due to the impact.

The RSA service was excellent. Came and picked up the bike in less than 40 mins. As it was a Sunday called and told Sunit regarding the same. THe bike was received by them at 10:30AM.

Monday I went to the service center. Realized it would be covered by Insurance. Both wheels and front tire are getting replaced along with the bearings on both wheels.

The service center guys have been very proactive on placing orders for the spares and following up with the insurance guys. All my spares have come except the tire. Expecting the same by this week.


Keeping in mind the impact I am glad that the wheel did not break like we have seen in cases of few KTMs and Pulsars recently. I was with a pillion and am glad we walked away without any damage to self.

Yes it is !

.

Good lord, you are safe. Thats important. How is the bike behaving now. Is the handling alright ?

Yes, bike is OK. Will keep it in observation for few days ... Will be riding long on Friday so will have abetter idea.

Got the horn replaced too. It seems the hot air from radiator has been causing the horn to fail. Let's see how it goes now.

Horn issue I have not faced yet. But then again I do not use the horn much. ...
The bikes running fine .... DSK Benelli sliders are here. Got mine fixed. .... 4k for a set of four.

Honestly the Sliders in the back look more like foot pegs .... the length will certainly reduce its maneuverability in tight city traffic , I would recon the conventional short rounder sliders/spools

DSK Benelli TNT 600i Gold Limited Edition launched in India

lol almost 50k extra for golden color + 2 stickers.
