Now although the name may sound new to many people, Benelli motorcycles have been in existence from as early as 1911. Yes, that’s over a century of experience in motorcycling. This Italian brand will join hands with DSK Motowheels, the two-wheeler arm of the DSK Group, to launch the Benelli marque in India. The company has remained silent as to which motorcycle will be introduced to the Indian market but we are anticipating an all-new naked motorcycle, the BN302 which is powered by a 300cc liquid-cooled four-valve DOHC twin cylinder engine that produces 37PS of peak power.
The other candidate which is expected to come with the BN302 is the BN600 range, ranging from a touring bike to a naked streetfighter that is powered by the same 16-valve DOHC 600cc inline four-cylinder engine with a maximum power output of 82PS. Reports suggest that Benelli will bring its products to India via the CKD route. The motorcycles would be assembled at DSK’s facility in Wai, near Pune.
