I've been looking very seriously into one of these. You can't beat the value for money, and I'm a huge fan of the styling. Get the look and feel of a GS at 1/4 the price, albeit with less than half the displacement, but still, for those of us who have to negotiate with the wife and are on a tighter budget, it makes those conversations a lot easier :p
I've been going back and forth btw the TRK and the Leoncino all week. Without the boxes this bike is a ballerina. With the boxes it's a ballerina carrying a lot of boxes.
I've had one of these since March 2021. It is an excellent machine and for the money, it just can't be beaten. The cases are GIVI if it is the same as mine. Looking at European and Asian sales of these, Benelli 502 TRK bikes, they are being sold in vast numbers worldwide. They are the perfect combination of comfort and usability on and off road. Expect to see these motorcycles, become a popular sight un the US.
My only complaint so far, is at 90mph with a decent headwind you can REALLY feel the boxes. Which is completely to be expected, and I wish the windshield was 6" taller.
I have watched a dozen videos on this bike most of them are from the EU. You my friend have done exactly what I wanted to see. Outstanding Video, I am going to buy one of these Bikes. Thanks Again
It's standard mono-shock tech, so I'm sure there's a lowering dogbone out there. The standard TRK runs 17's front and rear. Bust out that wallet and get one of these bad boys. Look for a leftover 2021 that hasn't had the price bumped up.
The accessory complaint with a Chinese motorcycle is a non issue. I’ve owned a Pan America for over 6 months and I can’t get a single accessory part from Harley and very little from aftermarket. I’d expect the Chinese manufacturers to pump out a million parts for their own bikes.
Yeah, doing an early, non-standard HD product is a risky move. Owning a Buell was always tough and I can't imagine it's a lot better with the logistics problems we're going through these days.
I think MANY motorcycles would benefit from a smaller front sprocket, but it's a balancing act btw grunt and top end. the good news, it's easy to mix and match!

@@ClevelandMoto I like the way you are to the point, that's how reviews need to be!

Thanks for sharing, I'm considering getting this as my first Adventure bike!
I like the bike, but do they make a lowering kit for the standard 502 TRK? I want cast wheels thank you.

After seeing this in person, the finish looks ok to good. If you think this is "extreamly high quality" how do you classify BMW, Triumph or Ducati?
Only thing i cares about is the durability and comfort and how it performs on and offroad
And how durable the engine and other things are?
Great Video! Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
I want this bike! Please do a speed test video with the GPS.
Once we get it properly broken in and a full oil change under our belt, we'll run it up to top speed.
What's the typical mpg and the tank capacity? Thanks.
We've been getting around 71 mpg and the tank holds just under 5 gallons.
Been looking for this bike in africa kenya but with no luck dealers arent shipping them
I have One here, there's a dealer on thika road
The button on the left is turn off rear abs so they say
Don't know how Adventure guys carry around those cases for commuting.
I'm with you, I prefer soft bags, I've never been a fan of boxes.

So 2yrs on do you still have this bike, has it fallen to pieces... I'm betting you got rid of it
I'm a dealership, we sold it to a fella who has recently brought it in for a 16,000 service. So, that's over 10k miles per year. Not too shabby.
Do you have to purchase one from alibaba
Nope, plenty of Benelli dealers here.
Keep it warm, be there at 6. :D
That's the plan!
Needs a 15T

It's a inline 4 not a parallel twin!!
It's a twin. I promise. benelli.ssrmotorsports.com/bikes/trk502x.php
