    Help me to choose the right bike in 8 lakhs

    Hi friends, am looking to buy a new bike within the price range Rs.8 lakh on road, So far I have taken test ride of Benelli 600i ABS and Triumph Bonneville. Some what I don't like the riding position of Bonnevilee,so am left with only 600i, is there any other option should I consider ? Z800 and CBR 600 f is out of budget.

      If you are looking for a bit of touring, then consider the Ninja 650. You will have some money left over to invest in some after market goodies as well.

        I had Ninja 650 and 2008 R1 before so not considering this time. May be I can stretch a little bit to go for CBR 650F

              Benelli TNT600i is an excellent choice.
              I had ridden it and it gives absolute pleasure. The sound and style and riding posture and performance... I can keep going on..
              If not Ninja 650 is a good option. As you dont want a Ninja now again, I'm not sure what to say. Try taking a TD of Scrambler.. It's a bit over 8L but it's worth it if you can afford one.

                600i has no low end torque and the mid range feels bit barren. The power comes post 8k ish RPM and above 100 kph.
                TD Street Triple ( New Street Triple with digital console and moar power will be announced on Jan 10) and Kawasaki Z800 (Though Z900 is coming).

                I'd say avoid Benneli 600i.
