Indian two-wheeler market is seeing a dominance of scooters for quite some time. What’s more interesting is that the scooter manufacturers are focusing on premium products. However, the only a few operators are currently present in the premium scooter segment of the country.

As it seems Benelli is attempting to enter the segment with its Zafferano scooter. A prototype of the scooter has been spied testing near Pune igniting the speculation.

Sharp twin headlamp setup, analog and digital combo display at the instrument cluster, windshield, ergonomically designed comfortable seat, stepped up pillion rider seat, sleek taillight – all these make the scooter pretty attractive.
