- The Benelli BN600i & the TNT 600GT are two new motorcycles that could change the dynamics of the enthusiastic motorcycle market.
Powered by the quintessential dream of a mid sized inline 4 motor, they cater two different genres of motorcycling, one for fast paced daily fun and the other for laid back relaxed long rides. How did these fare? We find out.

One a tourer, the other an inline four dream. The BN 600i gets priced at Rs. 5.15 lacs and the 600GT makes its way here at Rs. 5.62 lacs. #LegendIsHere
how much do each cost
The BN 600i gets priced at Rs. 5.15 lacs and the 600GT makes its way here at Rs. 5.62 lacs.
+Abhineet i too agree with you abhineet, the biggest drawback with the benelli is that is now chinese owned and in india they are priced exorbitantly high and there are 3 things they have focused on 1. heavy marketing and promotion, looks, exhaust sound.and you said right benellis are pieces of junkk. kawasaki er6n is far far better bike than these craps.
Thats why i prefer Japanese over European. Know what such is the dedication and perfection of Japanese companies that they win races whose rules are highly manipulated by european companies particularly ducati, the day i cane to know about this i started hating ducatis and feel in love with Japanese companies
+akash gupta why exactly do you think these bikes are pieces of junk?
Great job on another "Nailed it Review" guys, you keep on knocking the bar up higher time and again.
And then there is the 60FPS video, watched this on a kick ass big screen with 60FPS and MIND=BLOWN
"Nailed it Comment"
U guys have come a long way from the old videos...will support till I grow old n lose all the senses - A loyal fan
You really know how to edit videos. Keep these solid reviews coming
Luke Raymond Umm, yeah! Thank you. ;)
Always Hit Up Like button even before the video start..........then seat back relax and enjoy. That my principal watching every PD video. Kudos
Srirup Goswami That is a principle worth following. :P
The review is nice as always , good spec description ! One thing mad me sad though , the review wasn't that flashy as the other reviews you have done take it Benelli 1130R review ! I hope that you haven't stopped making such reviews, because i love them watching ! :) :)
How about this - czcams.com/video/t-6UaZisUwU/video.html
I actually love a bike that expresses itself in the higher revs, having more power than necessary everywhere is boring.
Ever since i saw your ZX 14R review, i'm in love with this channel! Could probably afford one of the Benellis but i keep going back to the big Kawasaki.
+VedderTheFixer Kwacker calling! :D
+VedderTheFixer hey! what a match last night eh?
+Nachiket Joshi yup looked like a Ferguson side :D
ya man! balls to all of those who ever doubted us!
Awesome review as always....
Now whenever the lavasa roads go roaring with these kind of bikes....we know which youtube channel to check out.....
;)
Ajinkya Joglekar Heheh! Vroom vroom!
Im really starting to follow pd... Like the usage of the camera.. The sheer will and commitment towards presenting the viewer a honest review and opinions.
Thank you Raajiv.
Here is something fresh off the shelf - bit.do/FordMustangGT
well loved both of the bike...especially the bn 600 one...its exhaust system is sexy..😉
One heck of a review guys....and i can say..This review...has the best Soundtracks of all time...
Then why not head to our Top Music playlist. :D czcams.com/video/DayBn--aqIA/video.html
4:00 - 4:10 it feels like the engine sound is actually a part of the background score. Perfect blending ;) You guys should really reveal the origin of these background scores. The review as always, is awesome!
111gokuz A magician wont reveal his magic trick. He shall just entertain. The question is, are you entertained?
PowerDrift Hell yeah!!
I am in love with TNT sound :)
Cant wait for the Tornado302 to launch :)
It's almost here
Free advertisement for Benelli. Great review guys. And sarge is getting better and better in front of the camera :).
vivekjz Sarge is camera conscious no more. Looks like he found a new best friend. :D
PowerDrift especially the last scene when satyan asks him to ride the other bike. Lol perfect reaction :p
Wat...a music!!!! I have listened it a thousand times...!!!!!! Is tat one u guys...composed....then awesome ...u better start producing...powerdrift albums....!!!!
It will be...the best one of 2015!!!!!
We've got just what you need - czcams.com/video/DayBn--aqIA/video.html
High speed fibre Optic cable! Your script writer is a genius. So many nuggets throughout all your vids. Keep realizing something new everyday
+Aamir Khan Would you like some ketchup with those nuggets? :P
+PowerDrift Motor oil is more like it. :p
a gr8 review as usual! My peace of advice and comments for this video and for your future videos is upgrading your audio capturing methods which is very poor currently. as i currently see your channel as benchmark for Indian automobile youtube channels and auto Mags. Keep up the Good work TEAM PD~ Cheers!
The sound of this is awesome
nice review .. always pd
Guys awesome.... I watched every video... Creativity dude... Keep Going on....
Naveen Joshi Cheers Naveen :)
Sagar.. this I think is the 7th time I am watching this video.. you guys just make amazing ones.. brilliant cinematography and amazing taste in background music.. Your videos are like steroids for the listeners.. want to join you guys once for a ride/review you do.. I am in Pune as well ;)
A huge thank you from team PowerDrift Nikhil!
Well, spot us sometime then ;)
Just cant get over this one.. Watching it again :P
Keep up the good work!!! waiting for RC390 in depth review ...
Raviraj Halarnekar Round the corner mate. :D
Hey guy's,
Great work your putting into all of your reviews.
enjoying this one a lot as well.
I did move one year ago from Germany to Malaysia / KL done my driving licence and have now to decide for my first bike.
Will use it for city use and to explore the country side.
really like the design of the 600I (here it's the TNT 600).
however I'm not sure whether I should better decide for the Yamaha XJ6 naked.
really would appreciate a detailed statement from your guys on which bike you would recommend.
same as for your guys the XJ6 is a lot more expensive the the Benelli.
what really is holding me back is the leak of ABS and that the torque in mid range is not really there.
understood that the XJ6 is better in this terms.
please let me know guys.
thanks a lot and keep going.
+Sagar Sheldekar Thanks Sagar. I went to the dealer...checked everything on Yamaha Malaysia online page...turns out the Malaysian Specs comes without an ABS... unbelievable that the are still promoting it with pics.
so now it's done to performance and quality.
Do u think the XJ6 is worth the extra 1500 USD (6-7000MYR) or should I go for the cheaper TNT?
Nice review guys. Waiting for the Benelli 200 review with baited breath
Thanks Ashish! We have a lot more coming up on our channel, have you seen the latest Blockbuster #SimplyBeetle
Sagar man!... You can touch knees down on anything...!!... Just loved your riding!..
Can you do it on Honda Dazzler?... I own one, and just want to inspire my confidence towards it... :)
you guyz did it again.....sagar ur pretty damn awesone man on these machines#loved it!
Do share the video ahead!!! #Like&Share
for the price it is value for money.I was considering a triple 675.Great review powerdrift
:D #Like&Share
Awesome video guys! Have you switched to even better equipment.. the HD clarity and colour was mind blowing.
Rahul Dongre Looks like 50fps is doing our job. :D
PowerDrift Damn :D
well put together,
gr8 work editing, sound n camera team....
I must say..
sagar Kisiko bhi jhuka sakta he :-p
+RiDER Thakur Hahahahaha! True that!
Wow.. Now Location Courtesy bhi aagayaa.. awesome.. Hope those guys will be happy to be associated with you guys.. changa hai
Awesome review guys.....
Benelli truly how to make a sexy looking bike....
Absolutely loved the looks of TNT
Great work on the detailing of the video, guys.
:). (Y)
Subodh Ranjan Appreciate that mate. :D
Nice review good video but do hear a whistle sound what is that Is that an editing error ?
Slap in ABS with MSC and I'm sold for the GT, took a test ride of both and being of 6'1 height I found GT as the best bike of all that I have tried except perhaps Harley Iron 883 but this costs nearly 2/3 of that bike. Moreover when we are talking of tours this was one of the bikes that had least vibrations on high speeds and practically silent so least chance of getting motion sickness for all those who start throwing up out there.
That some serious research.
Yep guys, I wouldn't just jump on a controlled explosion chamber between my legs and ride for a 1000 miles without doing a thorough research as to what makes the ride comfortable for me. I do respect everyone's opinion and based on them I check the factor as to what's the positive and negative but in the end it's the rider him/herself who can be the best judge. Factors that are positive to me would be negative to someone and vice-versa hence just sharing my bit of experience on that bike.
Stunning work guys, lovely review what I liked is both 600 class but how different they are tuned, Is GT 600 Engine Refinement close to N650 ? also torque mentioned you need to change gears frequently on ghats do we expect that from tourer? I am waiting for Honda my next would be definitely a 600class - Sagar & Satyen thumbs up guys lovely review overall when are they getting launched
The engine is refined alright, the GT has the edge on the handling as compared to the Ninja 650. And yes, our commutourer did mention that due to the short stroke inline four motor stature, one would need to keep the engine on higher rpm on twisties especially when they are riding one up.
I always love your review guys but can you just work in your vocal cuz its a bit unclear sometimes and the music seems loud.Nonetheless you guys rock!!!!!
Thank you Aakarshanification. :D
Nice review. Btw have you guys heard anything about launch of duke 125.
Bipin Kc Nope! No news on that front. :(
Loved you helmet🔥❤️
as expected , awesome....:)

I think i saw you sagar.. at Lavassa yesterdae Morng..!! On Z800 i guess
hey sagar is there a complete review for Benelli 600ABS
loved the review. can u do a comparison. as a first time rider, i am kind of confused between the 600i and the er6n
+junaid chowdhury That sounds good. Shall cover that real soon :)
***** you guys really do your reviews well kudos and you really do your homework before you guys post your reviews. Also love your post production it keeps you glued, over all very well done way better than other clowns with jeans and leather boots on a sport bike I use to watch
Rohinton Bhagalia We are probably the only kids who like to do their homework. :P
That was an honest review, with Sarge not confirming whether he liked it or not :P Nice to see Satyen as well....btw, why did the GT have have Saree guards in the video?
Those weren't sarre guards, those were the racks for the panniers!
And they stole the pannier which had our (read my) supplies! Grrr!
nice video like always!!
anmol gulati Appreciate the love. #LikeAndShare
my favorite 600i
is this a good bike(600i) to start on? Or should i go for a ktm 390(duke or rc) and then upgrade to this, after putting some miles on the 390?
+kalyan PM dude u are thinking of starting on 600 cc. forget about D390 first go and learn bicycle.
the truth speaker forgive me, O all knowing one...
+the truth speaker I started on a Hyosung GT650 back in May 2014, and bought a GT650R too and I love riding them, I don't see a problem there.
+Death666wish Its always wise to start learning on 150 cc bikes give it one or 2 yrs of practices and the gradually ascend towards higher cc bikes.
+kalyan PM Start with a 150cc in India, You will need to learn a lot by guessing fellow commuters' moves, pedestrians and dogs (lots and lots of 'em), you have to learn
1) when to brake right
2) when to brake hard
3) cornering (if you find apt roads)
4) Riding in rain
5) Taking care or your ride (changing oil and stuff)
6) Bonding with the ride
7) Handling Accidents
Shit happens you know, When you are riding on two wheels at 70 kmph in a country with 10000 people per sq. km. Its better if it happens with a 150cc first. "No love lost. No love found"
It's not that i wish to cut your brake cables though .
After you learn all these Its just adjusting to speed with the faster bikes with some additional care.
Work your way up. 150cc -> 250cc+ -> 650 cc(not the super sport) -> Have fun
P.S. Always wear a helmet (don't go without it)- saved my life
thank u soo much 😊
:D
Awesome review - I am confused between Benelli 600 GT or 600i or CBR 650 F. Benelli new in India market not that much popular in outside market too. Just wanted expert review as per Indian condition which one will be perfect.
Little did they knew that this would become the most popullar 600cc bike in india.
Plus it comes packed with ABS now! The deal just got a whole lot sweeter.
ABS is just for naked
Tourer is still missing it
Good morning sir,
Can please tell me that which is the best budget bike with single sided swing arm.
You guys really really rock....!!!
Abhishek Toppo Thank you. :D
@powerdrift is it a good bike(tnt600i) in 2017 or anyother suggestion.
nice review....make a website like teambhp...that would be good for everyone....all discussions and lot other related things can be shared over there....
wright vcx We do have our discussions here - powerdrift.com/community/
Aren't we getting an overdose of the benelli's ;)..
Anyways these bikes looks really cool as compared to any bike available in the Indian market.
Just one quick question, can we please have some update on the more affordable sections of the motorcycles about to hit Indian market like the hero hx250, r25 or the pulsar 400&200ss and of course the 400cs :)
***** Yes because there is a Benelli storm coming! They sure are eye candy for a lot of us. There is no update on the 'affordable' motorcycles yet from any of the manufacturers! :(
Where is the place you tested the bikes? Its amazing and great video!
Rajeev Rishikesh Lavasa. They do mention it in the credits :)
Guys u should take royalty from lavasa now coz i think u guys made it famous in motorcycling world, as always a rocking review
Santosh Mhaskar Hope to see you someday at Lavasa then mate. :D
Nice review, both bikes aren't perfect but class on their own
What about the TNT302 or BN302, when are you guys having a go on it?
Turaab Syed Not at the moment Turaab but we shall cover it soon. :)
Hi Sagar.. amazing job as always.. ur episode r too damn awesome. . I never miss ur episodes.. was soo wanting to get the benelli 600i into my garage.. would u suggest it to be a wise decision.?
+ley per Firstly Sagar appreciates the love. Gets a smile on him everytime. Secondly, what will you use it for?
Hi Sagar.. Not for daily commuting atleast. . jus to ride hard for the love of biking..
Hey, where can I get the powerdrift bike jacket?
You have the best!job in the world
I envy you
You can also be a part of it. Mail us your CV along with something about you that we cannot ignore!
hi powerdrift the review is good
Arjun Raj Hi Arjun, your comment even better! ;)
It is not the engine of a yamaha r6, it is the engine of a cbr600 f2 greetings from Argentina
When we'll be seeing a video on BN TRK 502 X ??
i dont understand!I just want to know the name of the sound-track used in this review.....!plz anyone can tell me?
Hey Guys! Thanks for the Awesome Video.. Could you please share the name of the background score which plays from 4:56 till 6:46.. Its mesmerising.. :D
Thank you Chris. Head over to the Top Music playlist for more mesmerizing music! :D
PowerDrift so if you had to choose between the 600i and the er6n which one would you go for? Also keeping in mind about the aftersales. :)
Rough Rider Kawasaki has been an established brand when it comes to the 'big bikes' segment. However, Benelli with DSK seem to have turned the tables here and look promising. We suggest both :P
PowerDrift thanks for the help!
Superb review, I for one was more interested on the BN 600i....in a stop and go traffic, how would it fare guys??
kanthmclaren Lavasa is known for it's twisties. We couldn't get a chance to test it in stop and go traffic but an engine that potent surely will handle well.
The fueling is too snatchy and abrupt.. It will take a good time to get used to!
2023, still watching, the level of editing is crazy.
Hey sagar, r u from pune..coz always u tends to happen on lavasa roads...😎
He is part of Powerdrift. Powerdrift is based on pune
Let's come out with an ER6N vs BN600i
Plz powerdrift guyz do a full review of BENELLI TNT 25
Loved the review, but no offense - Satyen looks like he is smuggling stuff in that jacket while riding the GT. :D
Sagar - Loved your Helmet and the choice of words used. Spot on! ;)
None taken! Especially considering that they stole the panniers and I had to smuggle sandwiches for all in my jacket!
keep up the good work... :-)
Thank you, Rider Thakur :D
Sarge pls do scrambler review
Plz review for benelli 300
Your wish has come true!! check it out here - czcams.com/video/i98gbGklHvY/video.html
it sounds great-screamer,must say(the i)
I only heard praising for first few secs, and then on it's only complains and complains :)
Tell me again why people should buy this bike? :D Inline 4?
***** We feel that this is going to be the most affordable inline 4 India has ever seen. So your guess is probably right!
Hang in there ;) more to come!
I have a feeling that the pricing would be the biggest factor. Remember the detuning is as compared to the R6 that revs till some 15000rpm.. this is built to last long! That is a mighty good deal for us! Besides there is enough usable power on both the machines to keep everyone happy! And lastly the pricing is going to be extremely competitive. All those are good reasons to buy!
After market clutch levers, better brake pads and tadah!
Pls compare it with ninja 650 or 650r
Both would lose horribly against the benelli
Awesome review.....PowerDrift......could you please help me in deciding between these two...i am looking for touring and best on speeds to.
***** thank u.....infact i did book 600GTS. ....

That sounds like a plan.
phantashtik!
Back when powerdrift had content !
Can u guys plz tell me when is DSK BENELLI TRK 502 gonna be available in INDIA ???
Which bike has more sound 600i or gt
i m bit confused.. benelli tnt 600i or kawasaki z800... which one is better... not only the performance.. comparing the lrice range too... pls reply
+Akhil V They are in two very different price range! The Z is a good choice if price isn't an issue.
bro Drive safe ...👍
it's been one n half yrs since trk 502 has been showcased at 2016 expo., when is it coming?😩
Can you compare benelli tnt 600i with other 600 cc bikes
DKY .FUN We shall try and get it covered.
Muito linda !
Obrigado !
How's the GT for city commuting? And how tall is that guy on the gt? i'm 5'8 and couldn't keep my legs firmly on the ground
747nemesis Heavy for the city as the weight is felt when you are continuously ploughing the road with your feet. Our Gandalf is 5'10" and had fun riding the GT.
how much money I need to spend on 220 for ABS.?n dose it possible...?
waiting for the ninja 650 2017 or go for benelli 600i plz help me PD
What did you get?
Interesting bike. Is there any dealers in Canada that offer this bike? I can't seem to find anything.
+SkintSNIPER262 We surely hope there are a few.
Solid bike
Hey guys plz do an in-depth review of TNT600 GT again.. Plz
What more would you want to see in a comprehensive review of the TNT600?
BJ600 lol.. Thank God they changed the name for India. Nice review.
what part of India do you guys film in?
PowerDrift During your test ride what was your experience with the clutch ...is it on the very harder side ....is it comfortable operating clutch in city conditions ...or dose it take tole on your hand while operating clutch ... (TNT 600 GT)
Punit Jadhav Yes, the clutch was the a bit hard but easily forgotten on the highway. Also, we did not get a chance to ride it much in the city but it won't take a toll once you get adjusted to its feel.
how much is the price tag of both on roads ? i like gt so much too
nice review
Arun Menon The prices are going to be out in January. Both the machines are very very likeable. :D
