We have this bike from new...It now has 30000km on it and can say it is a great motorcycle for its intended purpose.....Long range touring with all your gear...That includes the back roads, rocks, river crossings, mountain climbing, etc....The weight is less than my african twin which is our second bike....Any adventure bike that will carry large loads is also strong. . This is a fuel injected machine which is very controllable....Our bike is ridden by a female that is 5'8 and she does a great job ridding it.....Braking is very good and is durable lasting so far to 30,000 Km with not change of pads front or back.....My african Twin has gone through two sets... Original chain is very high quality and still on the bike....We have changed one front sprocket.....The early Benelli had a defective back shock which did fail for us, but was replaced under warranty....We have changed the original battery to make sure it will work with no problems.....This is a great bike for the cost involved....It is a great bike if you paid more money for it....If you want a bike to ride the world with this would be one of my picks and I have traveled the world over the years I have road.....If money is no object then get the GS or the African twin...They are also excellent adventure bikes....and both much heavier. I have owned them both....For ease of work on it, cost of replacement parts this bike is ahead of the other two....This bike will be able to keep up with all of them....
A friend of mine mentioned this bike and let me just say it has been a rabbit hole since then. I have scoured the internet going through videos, posts and forums about this bike. Thank you for an excellent review and thanks to all the people leaving detailed and descriptive comments. I am buying this one
Thank you, for that great comment, I wish you the best of luck in your search, try to look for one with low mileage as this will help in the long run 👍 or better still new as they are very reasonably priced 👍
8:35 agree. I am from a small town in India and when i moved to Australia my manager told me that my 6 year experience in India is like 12 here, and he was right. Very easy to ride here compared to the chaos back home
I'm 6'2 and this bike felt like it was tailored specifically to me. It knocked me straight out of my cruiser/classic fervor and sent me into an Adventure-bike obsession. I cannot overstate how comfortable and safe I felt while riding it. Only drawback IMO is that the weight is a little bit top heavy so I just have to get used to the turns on this bike.
@Bykersam I just saw a review on an identical bike (thought it was you speaking Italian for a moment) by a guy called Zero Highways. This thing held up on a massive trip across central Asia, very impressive. I look forward to a similar trip in Australia and possibly Eastern Europe, though tbh I'll likely do that on a Ural m72 lol
it's an amazing bike mate, although it's good for what it was made for, meaning it's not made for off road nor racing, it's made for trail. Regarding your negatives I have a couple of comments, - I never had that issue with the gear that goes to neutral too easy, the other way around actually, I find it hard to put neutral when I want to. - The seat is quite high yes, but you can buy another seat that lower it down by 3 cm. - the center stand isn't very easy to put, but isn't that hard either, I had other bikes with much harder stands to put. - finally the usb you can buy a double one very cheap. So, I don't really consider your negatives to be real negatives, apart from the weight, but than again this is a full size bike so you couldn't expect less. By the way, I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and im loving it, it's by far the most comfortable bike I had so far, and good looking to. Not the most powerful for sure, but really enough for what I want and need atm.
3Ls I am so happy to read your comments, as they tell me you are a real trk502x enthusiast and any enthusiast deserves a thumbs up in my book, yes the negatives maybe leaning towards over stretching but I wanted to include all that I felt, different experiences felt by different owners, I also heard many argue about sticking gears but if you use good synthetic or semi synthetic oil that problem is far less or in my case non existant (2000km in 7 days). The centre stand issue is actually due to the stand being 1 to 1.5cm too tall but yes it is manageable, but it should be shared with others so they know. I have since installed a further usb kit 👍 and the seat you refer to that drops it by 30mm is of poor quality compared to the original but I totally agree with you it does help with the height, I will custom build one soon myself, again thank you for your comments I did enjoy reading them 🙏🙏🙏👍👌
Great review thank you. What puts me off a little is the recommended service interval. I ride a Honda CB500X and the servixe is every 8K miles. What is your view on that. Do you do your own service and if so is it easy to work on the bike?
Hi Matt, the first service I did was a simple oil and filter change, if you ride in relatively clean environments, then oil and oil filter is more than enough with a quick check of the air filter, it's pretty straight forward, service manuals if followed are best but are extremely cautious 😊😉
Around 730 good to know. 1st clutch bike, been on scooters for years. Have nit driven clutch since msf 11 years ago. Ive noticed couple times it going to neutral coming to stop sign. Figured just me
A mighty fine review indeed. Been thinking of getting one of these but there's the Varadero & TDM in the equation too lol. For the price, I think this machine ticks all options without a doubt. I could be sold by your review sir!!
Hi buddy, it's a good bike but if a Japanese bike is in the same equation I would lean towards japanese, however if buying new or extremely low mileage then no competition, this will be the best in the price range
I have the same bike but in grey (2019). Coming from a Ducati monster I was a bit sceptic, but in the end I’m really happy with my buy. It’s really fast enough, every hp more is just unnecessary for this type of bike. This being said, the rider in the film really rode it slow. It’s not representative for what it can. The torque is really nice, from 45kmph to 150 in 6th without a problem. The vibration everyone in talking about is real. But you really get used to it, and it gets better with getting kms on the bike. All in all, I won’t change it. The 19 inch front wheel on the X really makes it manage able an agile. (But I am 1m84 and 95kg)
Hi jeroen, I very much appreciate your comments, and I agree it is fast enough for the purpose it was built for, I have a second review after riding it 2,000km and it gives more insight into the bike. Overall, it is a very well priced piece of kit 👍
It does vibrate from 110 in my opinion. In the beginning when it’s new it’s disturbing. But it becomes less and less fast (2000km) and you also get used to it.
@@jeroenkesteloot6369 I felt no vibrations at all, but I also note different experiences with different owners, some have said there gears stick a little mine did not, though I had at times a problem with gear selection between 1 & 2 but others have not, but for the money it's very much value for money 👍
Hello there. Im planning on buying this bike next month and drive it to Italy fully packed (3cases) with a 2nd person on it... Do you think it can make it? and what is the max speed with 3 cases 2 persons? Thanks in advance
Dominik it can easily take its weight of 230 to 250kg in terms of rider pillion and luggage, I took it upto 75mph 120kph and it was asking for more, I think it definitely could do 135kph with full weight.
The seat is extremely comfortable, though it is a tall bike, at 6 foot I could not place the soles of of my boots squarely on the ground, however a alternative seat for this bike is available at Ali express which lowers the seat by 30mm which for me will be perfect 👍
10:40 min, im not complaining to what you said i just want to ask, you said '2 usb port is better to have for charching more devices' , my question is would it be a little bit to much for a battery? i dont know if you understand what i mean, will it damage the battery? to empty completely? or with two usb ports would you need a better battery? ride safe, greetings from germany
Nice Review - Thanks! On the fence between one of these and a Himalayan to expand my riding horizons. Gonna be eating up a lot of reviews on both bikes between now and my anticipated purchase in the fall.
The himalayan is a great bike if you want to trod along and there is no harm in that, plus it will handle more Rugged terrains, the trk502x is a great all rounder, it is more top heavy than the himalayan but still a great bike for all terrains
@@Bykersam Decisions, Decisions - I will have to test ride both . . . But first have a 6,000 mile ride out to the Grand Canyon on my Kawasaki Voyager in July to focus on. She will be turning 10 years old and rolling 100,000 miles with me on that ride . . . Once I'm back then I will start planning the next ride - To Prudhoe Bay, Alaska which I will do on either the 502X or the Himalayan . . .
@@Napomsfreedom too be honest, both the himalayan and the trk will always stay in the shadows of Japanese bikes, but one slightly less so, I'll let you decide which one 😉👍😊
@@Napomsfreedom my $.03, the himalayan is a better bike. Think of the himalayan is more like an SUV. RE has a solid 400cc engine. RE has alot of aftermarket parts. TRK has ~39hp (dyno'd by a reviewer), not 46 as printed. The seat is high. The center stand has been complained about. The hand levers are too far forward...bad. Rumoured is Benelli is going to fix that. Some have complained about the shape of the tank as difficult when standing. The TRK has 2.5" of rear travel, which seems to be a limitation. Also hard to adjust as well. Chinese writers have suggested this is a sport tourer versus an adventure moto. So, its a light off road. The TRK would be fine if your riding 95% on road. Some people might not agree with me, but the Chinese bikes have not gotten the off-road experience resolved. The RE would do both road/off-road decent. For $5000 the RE is better imo. TRK is a great effort and a with few more innovations and corrections it would be an awesome alternative. The Benelli does look awesome and looks like it would be awesome ro have. But ride both and see which is a better fit for you. Best of luck on your alaska ride.
@@warrensalter2706 Thanks Warren! Just test rode the Himalayan - Ironically the dealer's name was Warren lol. Tune in to my channel in the next couple of weeks to see what I decided on - I am buying my Adventure machine before Thanksgiving!
Pakistan air force on the background.? I was in Pakistan on my ktm 640 It was the most adventures country i ever bin. I loved it, but sometimes a little dangerous. Did also the kkh. What bike do you drive now.?
@@Bykersam The earlier version of the bike (pre-2020) had a button on the left mirror mount/clamp to switch off ABS. It was there on both the X and non-X. I was hoping at least the more off-road focussed X would retain it.
Nice reasoned review although I dont know why you kept refering to the BMW GS as completely different bikes. The Honda CB500X is the main competitor as also a 500 twin budget bike. The Benelli brand has a long hisory and they made some fantastic bikes and i think the Chinese owners are listening very much to their customer. The new model has a better centre stand to get round the poor design on your bike. Im very tempted to buy one of these myself as i have a Triumph 1200 scrambler and realise i dont need a huge off road bike like that a the power is wasted in all honesty.
Hi Andy, I had to be brutal in my review though, I have purchased this bike and made a second review which was a owners review, it may be more appropriate as I ride much more, watch if you time, and thanks for watching the first review 👍ua-cam.com/video/Qlln-r6cJtk/v-deo.html
The centre stand is in a stupid place I agree, once my foot is on it though then I havent had trouble getting it up ... I changed the rear pads to EBC and transformed the rear brakes which were poor ... but that was the same for my XT660z Yam and my Africa Twin but the Benellis were worse ... fine nbow though, I really like the bike though and within its price point its excellent value.
Yes that's one I did think of but because some prefer tubed tyres and some don't, I didn't put it as a negative, though I do believe it should be as in some adverts Benelli suggest tubeless tyres 🤔
Hi Jos, there are a few decent adventure bikes from China, the freely 500, the maverick 500, cfmoto, zongshen rx4, but from my experience with many Chinese bikes, it's the support that let's you down, Benelli offers that albeit very limited, but it's there, I totally agree with you there are lots of bikes from China that deserve a look 👍
Hello Sam, good thorough review of the bike! I am an overseas Pakistani like you as well and was considering purchasing this bike to travel to the northern areas. Where did you purchase it from if you don't mind me asking? I hope it still runs great and you're having a blast riding it. Regards
Assalam Aleikam brother, I purchased it new from Islamabad, Carcraft. It's still in great condition as I use many bikes and hence no one bike gathers too much mileage. For northern areas it's great so long as you stay on roads, a little off road is manageable but it is a heavy machine so be careful 👍
Excellent so amazing👌keep it up dear friend💘 I liked it very much🥰Always be very happy & stay healthy🤲May God bless you & yr family for the name of Lord🙏 stay safe stay tuned 👍🔔📩
I really like this bike, and I very nearly bought one myself, but was put off by the seat height and lack of adjustment available to lower it (I am 5'4"). In the end I went for a Moto Guzzi V85TT 🥰which is equally as nice to look at, similar weight and economy but a lot more expensive 😥
Buddy you have to understand if issues don't arise then they cannot be reported, the bike is priced way below its more stronger Japanese and German competitors so most assume its build is substandard, this is far from the case, where there is a difference is potentially performance and long term reliability, as the Japanese are way ahead of all.
13:44 (Note: empty parking lot) Question: Why? ...I mean, this habit, because it is a habit, is disorienting to say the least... it has a lot of extras, like the console lights up at night LOL... you see now how disorienting and frustrating this habit is?
It helps when you ride in pitch black darkness, which I do when I ride in village surroundings, you have to bear in mind some people use this in places we never find in Europe, so I see the point myself though it maybe redundant in other more developed countries
@@Bykersam my apologies, I think I was misunderstood. Everyone needs console lights regardless of where they live. I was referring to the bad habit of some people who despite having an entire parking lot to themselves, they prefer to park right next to you and sit there and stare. This annoying habit, as I already stated, is so disorienting, that it even had you referring to basic, standard equipment as extras. I hope I was understood.
@@SsiolisP oh yes I miss understood and yes you are absolutely right ☺️☺️☺️, but it's life and with so many challenges, I guess you just accept this as one of life's funny moments, are you a biker and are you in Greece my friend?
Thank you for your question, it has a 20 litre tank and easily does 26 kpl on the highway, giving you over 500km from the tank if full. City ride its more like 23 kpl but that's still very good
@@MrDIYKING to be honest I ride in lower gears more as I was in the karakoram mountains so it is steep, I think 33 is too optimistic but I think 29 average of highway and city is realistic if you ride calmly

You are spot on about the top heavy situation, though in terms of heigh I'm 6 foot and after acquiring a lower seat I too feel very comfortable

For northern areas it's great so long as you stay on roads, a little off road is manageable but it is a heavy machine so be careful 👍
Nice review. How it compares with cb500x and versys 650?
It's smoother and stronger than the cb500x, but the versys is more powerful, though I feel the trk502x is more adventure oriented 👍
Very informative, well versed and exquisitely delivered review. Keep it up 👍 very good 👍
Thank you so much for that wonderful heart warming comment 🙏♥️🙏
@@Bykersam I have a Gsxr 600. I'm planning to buy Tekken 250 as my second bike. Need your comments as you have owned one. Common issues please..

Nice video👌
Excellent so amazing👌keep it up dear friend💘 I liked it very much🥰Always be very happy & stay healthy🤲May God bless you & yr family for the name of Lord🙏 stay safe stay tuned 👍🔔📩
On point review, kudos to you.Ride and be safe always🙏
I really like this bike, and I very nearly bought one myself, but was put off by the seat height and lack of adjustment available to lower it (I am 5'4"). In the end I went for a Moto Guzzi V85TT 🥰which is equally as nice to look at, similar weight and economy but a lot more expensive 😥
Bless you, I totally agree it is made for tall folk and it has lost many potential riders as a result
*Super Bike* 👍
Nice color of motorcycle
Thank you
very well explainned
Thank you veer
Watched for the second time...🌹 🌹 🌹
Wow thank you so so much
I wish i can have this bike
Insha-Allah one day 🙏
Yeah, saw this one too.
Buddy you have to understand if issues don't arise then they cannot be reported, the bike is priced way below its more stronger Japanese and German competitors so most assume its build is substandard, this is far from the case, where there is a difference is potentially performance and long term reliability, as the Japanese are way ahead of all.
@@Bykersam thanks for the reply. I get it.
Beautiful sharing
Stay connected
Thank you stay blessed 🙏

Very very Noti But Amazing 😆
Haha
13:44 (Note: empty parking lot) Question: Why? ...I mean, this habit, because it is a habit, is disorienting to say the least... it has a lot of extras, like the console lights up at night LOL... you see now how disorienting and frustrating this habit is?
It helps when you ride in pitch black darkness, which I do when I ride in village surroundings, you have to bear in mind some people use this in places we never find in Europe, so I see the point myself though it maybe redundant in other more developed countries
@@Bykersam my apologies, I think I was misunderstood. Everyone needs console lights regardless of where they live. I was referring to the bad habit of some people who despite having an entire parking lot to themselves, they prefer to park right next to you and sit there and stare. This annoying habit, as I already stated, is so disorienting, that it even had you referring to basic, standard equipment as extras. I hope I was understood.
@@SsiolisP oh yes I miss understood and yes you are absolutely right ☺️☺️☺️, but it's life and with so many challenges, I guess you just accept this as one of life's funny moments, are you a biker and are you in Greece my friend?
@2:28 bruh, you shouldn't overtake like that.
Very true 👍
Sir what is mileage of 502x city and highway and how much km we cover in full tank range
Thank you for your question, it has a 20 litre tank and easily does 26 kpl on the highway, giving you over 500km from the tank if full. City ride its more like 23 kpl but that's still very good
Company claims 33 on highway and 29 to 30 in city is it real or it is myth
@@MrDIYKING to be honest I ride in lower gears more as I was in the karakoram mountains so it is steep, I think 33 is too optimistic but I think 29 average of highway and city is realistic if you ride calmly
One must consider that max claimed fuel consumption varies due to alot of factors. So easily expect a real difference of 2kmpl.
Nice share bro
