The company has already started deliveries to the first few customers, including Shirish Kulkarni – a superbike enthusiast and the chairman of DSK Benelli India, who has bought an F4 RR. All the models launched under the JV will be imported as CBUs (completely built units) for now. However, the company is also considering a local assembly unit in the near future.
