With sales of Italian superbike picking up momentum, DSK Motowheels is planning to open 35 showrooms across the country by the end of this year.

The company has 17 exclusive showrooms, including the one opened today in the city, DSK Benelli Chairman Shirish Kulkarn told reporters here.

DSK Benelli, which is just 14 months old, has sold nearly 2,500 bikes in six types, ranging from Rs 1.77 lakh to Rs 12,07 lakh for 250cc to 1130c, so far, he added.
