Dear MJH and Shadow

Good to have this discussion back in this thread where it belongs.

This quote above would indicate the the 600 is NOT in the first batch, so hopefully there's been a change of plans. Would love to see the QJ600GS in the wild getting some road testing!

cheers

guys, i am telling that maybe end of April 2012 is the schedule...if not delay...

so far, they haven't open the dealer and workshop yet...

also already try to call them, but the phone line is not connected yet...

so i guess, they are still preparing...

hopefully if they officially open, I can get a test ride and will post the report here....

alrite guys...

here we go...

just went back from Benelli dealer at Indonesia.

they are not officially open and in renovation stage for the workshop, and warehouse...unless the sales office which already display the products.

they have : trek 1130, cafe racer 1130, century racer 1130, BJ600GS, dragon 150, scooter 250 and 125 (???) and moped 125 (???)

the trek cafe racer, century racer and BJ is the only thing attracting my attention....hahaha

Benelli BJ600GS
for the BJ600GS...from my point of view, personally, is a good motorcycle with good quality and finishing...its gorgeous...i guess it will be worth to have...

for test ride, i have already book a test ride session which they will inform me for the schedule...i also booked around 10 people from my side which is my friends.

additional info for the test ride will be reported here.

for BJ600GS price issues...they will sell in about USD 10K until USD 12K....not decided yet...they asked my opinion...i said, you will be crashed by kawasaki...they sell ER6n with USD 10K....

Benelli Cafe Racer and Century Racer
this is a confirm also to be sell at USD 30K or higher....whewww...not reachable for me...hahahaha

but the good news is I will still have the opportunity to test ride them....hehehehe

okay, i can't talk too much for the performance for every motorcycle since it will need time until i already ride them by myself....

so hopefully a ride test session will be held soon...can't wait for it...

i will split the photos...thanks
