        [MENTION=72810]joelgreen[/MENTION] your inbox is full so not able to message you.
        Well, I speak only English, Hindi and a bit of Marathi. Will communication/rapport building be a problem?
        I'm planning on visiting Tansi Honda tomorrow as I have a holiday.

          [MENTION=62526]Sagar Banerjee[/MENTION]: You have two options
          1. If you want to just spend the night and nothing else, i would suggest you to stay at Hosur, like Hotel Yasodha Towers.You can start early to Goa.
          2. You can/want to spend some more money and luxurious stay, then you can plan it at Electronic City, like hotel Oyster Inn.

          I would not suggest you to go further into Bangalore than electronic city as it will be easy for you to take NICE road in the morning to cover some distance in good speed.

          Have a nice and safe journey.

          [MENTION=72810]joelgreen[/MENTION] : I was informed by the bangalore Benelli dealership that 302 will be available by July-Aug 2016. Regarding scraping Benellis, no offense to owners, but i read in multiple forums that there are lot of reliability issues with their bikes. When you spend north of 3L, expecting rock solid reliability is not big ask. To add to it, I believe that no manufacturer can match Japs in engine/turning/quality control.

          By the way I will be taking my Ninja 300 Special Edition coming Monday 11th July , just cant wait to swing my legs around it

            Wow! Lucky you! And here I am, hoping for an RC390 to fall into my lap in the middle of a financial crisis! :P
            Which color is it? And is there anything more to the special edition than just the color scheme? How much did it cost you?

              As per sales advisor, there are only three changes in Indian spec Ninja 300 Special edition compared to earlier version:
              1) Fine Turned Engine
              2) Better Breaks - No ABS though
              3) DRL

              I also found we can not start Ninja when side stand is on, don't know if this feature was there in previous versions.

                .
                Just a point from my side, DRLs were coming from earlier Ninja 300 version, so nothing new about it but for other two points can't comment as I haven't rode that special edition ninja 300 although others say it's just a color and graphics update.

                    Thanks for the update.. i still am skeptical and let me try searching it once at Delhi, Karol Bagh and see if i get a luck on it.. else i might have to go for the MRF.
