    Thanks for the video on the Benelli 502.. The bike looks a bit tall. I'm in my 60's and have been riding since I was 11 years old, but I'm only 5'8", and might have a little difficulty reaching the ground safely on this motorcycle. There's a used one at a dealership near me for a great price, but I might be better off to look at a smaller bike.

I can just about flat foot it with the lower seat but you have to compromise on comfort over longer distances with the lower seat.

    Grazie per il video, molto ben fatto e piacevole da guardare. Vorrei cambiare anche io il pignone da 14 con quello da 15 ma il mio meccanico benelli me lo ha sconsigliato. Ci devo viaggiare in due e con il carico di bagagli. Temo che avere un pignone da 15 potrebbe sforzare motore e frizione quando siamo a pieno carico. Infatti tutte le prove che vedo, inclusa la tua, non parlano mai di pieno carico (tipo passeggero da 60kg e 30kg di bagagli nei tre bauli).

      @callumlawrence1427 Thanks for checking out the review, component failures, and recalls happen from time to time for all brands from around the world. I think it's hardly fair just to single out a failure because it's Chinese. You also need to look at whether the component fault was rectified once discovered for future machines. At the end of the day, the very fact that major brands such as KTM and many others have engines and components manufactured and assembled in China indicates the advancement the Chinese manufacturing has reached.

Re sizing I'm about 44" chest and although I usually opt for an XL, would you suggest a 2Xl for this make and model ? I also found Oxford jackets far too long in the arm so do you have any measurements (armpit to cuff) for the 2XL size ? Thanks in anticipation. Regards. John

They aren't too bad around the chest but can be tight around the stomach. If you buy from Gerbing directly, there customer service is excellent. I bought mine from their stall at the NEC bike show, and when I phoned a few days later to exchange it for a larger size I had no problems, they were very helpful. I wouldn't imagine arm length being a problem, the arms are a generous length and as I say, stretchy. I've now got the trousers and gloves and everything is still working perfectly. Definitely a quality product. I hope this helps. Ride safe 👍

    That groundsheet isn't for the garage area, it's to go under the main tent area to protect it from sharp stones and hard ground. If you don't use it there, in time you will wear out the base of your tent and then it will not be water proof. If you use the ground sheet correctly then once that wears thin you replace just the groundsheet. If you really want a groundsheet for the garage area then you can buy them separately although they are expensive for what they are.

      Hi thanks for checking out the channel. They are both excellent bikes. Take into consideration what the differences are between the two and then make a decision on what is most important to you. A few of the differences are, parts availability, power/speed, ride height, seating position, and the way the bikes handle, manoverability pushing the bike around, fuel range and economy. I'm sure there are other things too. I always recommend test riding any bike you are considering. At the end of the day it will be your personal preference. We are all different and require and enjoy different things from the bikes we ride. Me personally having both bikes in the garage, I always prefer the Benelli to my Honda. Ride safe 👍

    I've got a Japanese car and people won't work on that and I struggle for parts so that's irrelevant and the same with most vehicles for parts.. all vehicles have their own niggles no matter the make I've had a zontes zt u1 125 to learn on and going to keep it once I get my licence aswell as getting something like the trk702

    thank you Sir for the tutorial 🙏🏻 I have a question my friend give me some new oil after he sells his gs1250 the oil is 5w40 motorex boxter 4T, so can i use it for my the trk 502 ?

    • @BikeRiderReviews

      Hi, oil should be Oil 10W - 50 (synthetic) Jaso - MACCMC g4 3. 21 ltrs for the TRK. The 10W number indicates the viscosity of the oil when the engine is cold and the 50W when the engine is hot. The oil you mention has a lower viscosity. The lower number is important for when you first start the engine from cold, and the higher number for when the engine is running hot. If the oil becomes to thin at running temperature, it is less effective at lubricating your engine.

    I've been looking around for motorbikes in the last few months. I was going for a BMW 850 second hand. Few days ago i came across a Benelli by accident and I loved the look of it. I started to watch millions reviews and 99% of them were praising the motorbike. So, i made up my mind and orderd a TRK 702x after visitint a shop here in Ireland. Regarding the fact is Chinese, what is not nowadays? Most of these companies, if not all, have the parts made in China and assembled in their country. I don't see much difference from Benelli. I hope i won't regret buying it. I'll pick it up in few days and I can't wait!

    Love your honesty, makes me happy with my purchase, question! After market crash bars look faded and thought they came with bars anyway? It’s a great bike eh!

    • @BikeRiderReviews
      @BikeRiderReviews 8 місяців тому

      Yes the bikes come with the lower set if bars and I've added the upper set. The bars have faded over time. But to be fair the bike is used year round in all weather's. They have saved the bike on numerous occasions and there is literally 99% zero rust on them after 5 years of use. Ride safe 👍

    Thank you for the honest review. I am looking at a trk702x. Currently riding a bmw r1100rt wich is very reliable to me. But getting older and not liking the knee angle anymore I am looking at a adventure tourer. A GS would be nice but they are über expensive and those engines of the F GS bikes are also made in China. The Benelli is affordable and in these expensive times reasonable and wise to choose. Your review helps me to get trust in the brand. And you are right. No matter wich brand of motorcycle you ride. Ride through salt and anything will rust. I did ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and liked that bike a lot and it is a for its displacement a quick bike.

      Thanks for checking out the channel. I think the Chinese have really closed the gap now with the standards if manufacturing. People still slag them off, comparing them to GS's and Africa Twins, but you have to keep in mind the price. I think the TRK's at the moment are one of the best value bikes out there. If you are a rider who keeps on top of maintenance and keeps your bike clean, then you should have no problems with a Benelli. Ride safe 👍
