Benelli will launch the range of motorcycles they displayed last month in the Indian market by December 2014. The company has ambitious plans of not only getting the bikes down to India via the CKD route, but also, in the future, commence local production of mass market motorcycles.
The Benelli BN 600GT might not be a looker in one go, but it offers a lot more function over form. It is a sports-tourer, although, a bit quirky to look at.
Powering the Benelli BN 600GT is a 600cc, in-line 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC petrol motor producing 82 BHP of power @ 11,000 RPM and 55 Nm of torque @ 8,000 RPM. Engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and has fuel-injection technology with four-o-38-mm-throttle-bodies.
Features include:
With the launch just around the corner, the Indian motorcycle enthusiast will all of a sudden have more options to choose from with Benelli bringing in a wide range of motorcycles. Kawasaki, Triumph and Honda are already gearing up for their new launches. The Indian sportsbike & superbike market is expected to double in the near future with multiple brands entering and trying to reach out at an affordable price.
