Kawasaki Z1000( which I like even now) , been following it up from 2013 and read all the posts on xbhp another forums and saw all videos available on YouTube as i was about to pick it up in 2014 but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to drop the plan ( MOM agreed, Dad yelled 14Lac BIKE ..WTFish, u can buy another car and blah blah blah)

Now I have convinced my dad and he agreed (At last ),

In this mean while number of other bikes launched in India, Benelli, Ducati, Suzuki and most of their line ups are available in India.

I test rode all the Benelli's except for TNT1130R (Thanks to BENELLI HYDERABAD?) , loved the TNT600i and TNT 899 .

This gone be my First SBK and i have plans to keep it for LOOONG time , and I planned to buy a liter class but my friends ( experienced bikers/riders ) advised me to go for 600cc or 800cc as its more practical and easy to tame the Fire breathing monsters and they had a point.

My current Choice now are

1.Kawasaki Z1000 (1-2 months waiting period)
Inline 4,1043CC ,143BHP [MENTION=67918]1100[/MENTION]0RPM and has ABS
Easy to ride, and loved it , rode it for around 100kms and loved the pickup and the way the bike responds.

2.Benelli TNT 899 ( 2months waiting period)
Inline 3, 898 cc, 119bhp @8000rpm, No ABS
Very powerful.. (Nutsmashing), Untamed monster, needs experience to tame it, lil uncomfortable riding position for long tours.

3.Ducati 821 Monster ( 4Bikes landed in Mumbai, Delivery from July )
L-Twin, 821cc, 112bhp @9250rpm, Has ABS and 3 Engine Modes,Ride by wire
Never had a test ride , but rode the Monster 796 many times and loved each and everything the bike offers

4.Suzuki GSX-1000 ABS (No idea about the waiting period)
Inline 4, 999CC, 144bnp@10000rpm, abs, Adjustable traction control
Never test rode it

I will mostly ride it during weekends and Long trips whenever possible .

I request you to please suggest me as I am TOTALLY CONFUSED and STUCK.

Even at work all I do Is browse n read about the bikes mentioned above to make up my mind
