Finally India sees a slow but incremental demand for higher displacement motorcycles.
The competition increases with more brands entering the Indian market. The recent entrant Benelli which has been introduced by DSK Motors brought us the DSK Benelli TNT 600i to compete with Kawasaki’s ER-6n
The TNT 600i is currently the most affordable in-line, 4-cylinder superbike available in the Indian market. This has been quite the talking point for the Italian superbike. However, the Kawasaki is accepted well by the enthusiasts for the reliability the Japanese brand offers.
Let us see how they fare against each other on paper:
