    Benelli currently doesn't have a fully faired bike in Indian market right?

    That depends on whether or not you count the 600GT

      600gt cant be considered as fully faired. It's an adventure tourer while the tornado 302 is a track machine.


      I can sense some design cues of pulsar 220 with regards to front fairing. I'm not so impressed with the design. Benelli could have done better.
      Ride Safe!

        Have seen the 600GT during the anniversary ride. I wont consider it as a fully faired one...

          Boy O boy, she is looking like a super model in this segment.

          Did anyone notice the rear disc plate size? It is even bigger than super sports and it already has the twin plates at front

            This bike is humongous! Personally I feel the design is a bit busy. And with that weight and power spread I feel this is more of a heavy sports tourer.

              Its similar in size as others - 240mm as mentioned in the spec sheet. And the naked version has double disks too.

                  Oh God not again! The last EICMA made me buy RC 200 and I was firm my next upgrade should be a naked inline-4 and shortlisted Benelli 600i or Z800. Fully faired bikes always makes me fall, no matter how hard I try to avoid it, I am just a sucker for full faired bikes. This thing surely is a drool worthy machine.

                  Foot peg position gives a hint that it won't have the aggressive riding position like KTM RC.

                    Is it a 300cc? Really? Man, it doesn't look like one!

                      I wish the ride posture shouldn't be like that in KTM.
                      That's one of the three things that stopped me going near KTM. (Tank capacity and Sound being the other two)
                      And I'm a guy with 2 ZMRs and I often cry at my office parking. As my colleagues treat bikes that way. Scratches :/

                        as with the naked version, the bike looks bigger than its actual capacity, slightly retuned engine that produces more torque at less rpm and less power at more rpm than naked tnt300, same wheelbase, but different chassis, less fuel tank capacity than naked and slightly less weight.

                        seems like benelli tried to make the bike lighter and give it better acceleration at lower rpms, as compared to naked, while keeping the big bike looks and awesome sound USP intact + full fairiing.

                        more poser value + slightly better everyday performance.

                          Karizma (2014 model) designers, please take notice this is how a bike is designed!

                          Makes me go weak at the knees everytime I look at this piece of beauty.
