With the bright projector headlamps, night time riding is a pleasure on the GT
That’s a rather long name, dont ya think?
Instrumentation is comprehensive and legible
27 litres! Fill it, shut it, forget it
Hazard lights for added safety
Prepare for jealous eyeballs at toll booths
Exhaust note is subdued compared to the 600 i
A liquid cooled inline four
The engine is the same as the one on the TNT 600 i
Plush seat is comfortable on long distances
Bungee cords and hooks abound
Where bikers congegrate…
The headlight is a revealation
Top spec suspension and brakes are built to last
Dual purpose Pirelli Angel GTs
Fit and finish of the exhaust is not in tune with the rest of the machine
You can rip it open on the straights
Best take the corners slow with added luggage and a full tank
This is one leviathan of a machine, this GT
The switchblade-style key is a miniature work of art
Tall windscreen plays its part admirably
Still one of the most evocative badges in the business
There’s space for one more pannier behind the pillion
Steel trestle frame, aluminum sub frame
Footpegs are rearset, but not overly so
Panniers are lockable for added safety
Just in case you were unclear about what this machine does best
Switchgear quality could have been better
Uniquely designed turn indicators meld unobtrusively into the fairing
Four cylinders for all the grunt you will need on the open road
On tarmac…
… or off it, the 600 GT is a comfortable machine

No, it wont go to Khardung La and come back. You will have to ride it.
Do you think this bike will go to Khardung La ? I am thinking to buy this bike to exploring rough terrains like Leh.
How would the Benneli-650GT compare with the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Suzuki Vstrom 650 which may be available in this year?
Do the panniers come with the bike or sold separately and what is the capacity. Any idea about an ABS version.
The bike will appeal not only to the ones with touring mindset, but also couples who ride together. There is a dearth of machines that have good pillion comfort, maybe Bonneville , but many of us who can afford the bike are pushing 40 years of age.
