Finally got my red beauty on 26th Feb. Also got a MT helmet on one of my colleague's recommendation.
My first ride experience...
# Bike is certainly a head turner and has got looks. Every time I stop at signal, other rider besides me and people in cars eye the bike. When I took the bike for puja at temple, the priest (known to me) said that this is the first time he was seeing a benelli and is impressed. As per him he has done puja's for harley but first time for benelli

# I drive a honda city and could compare the bike with my car. Bike is responsive (though am restricted to keep it below 5K rpm), easy on speed breakers (bangalore has all kinds of breakers and this one was a relief as with my car I have to be extra cautious on breakers), is stable and had an assuring sound.
# Bike has little vibration but as others said it should go off after first servicing.
# As per benelli, accessories are not available, I wanted to get the siders fixed asap.
# Rear mirrors do not give proper back view, so planning to loosen them and push them a little back. Any other suggestions?
# Showroom guy told me that there is no need to clean and lube the chain and can be done during servicing. What would be your recommendation?
I had taken test ride of Yamaha FZ, Kawasaki Ninja 650 (and naked), Benelli 300 & 600 before I finalized on T25. Quite happy with my choice as I feel its value for money and most of all suits my usage!


and ditched the CBR plans. Planning to book in the coming week, apart from the vibrations and brakes i felt handle bar is a bit wide (am 68 kgs with 5.9 ht), did you too felt the same on your first ride.
