Owned one for 3 months now, review is spot on.
Cost of first services? Please?
I'm 17 years old. I live in Estonia and just made my car driving liscence(have to wait when i become 18y old). I have had A1 licence for a year now and the plan is to make A2 somewhere between April and May. I have driven Aprilia 125rx(definitevly reccomend) for, again, a year.
I test drove the Benelli TRK 502 X. What can i say. I have driven very lightweight motorcycles and it feels massive, and wonderful. I'm glad that Benelli made something for A2 riders.
Great video!
(Wish me luck)
Sadly, the price here is ~6 200€.
You won’t need luck, you will have a load of fun on this! Enjoy the ride! 👍
OMG THANK YOU ! It really bothers me how the UK market has written this bike off. There are barely any videos of what I feel is a fantastic offering to get on the road and look and feel like you have a BMW GS.
Great video and review, so helpful! Would be interesting to see you review a RE Himalayan !
Thank you! I rode the Himalayan in 2018 and filmed this review with MotoGeo ua-cam.com/video/_tS4LHpY6cU/v-deo.html check it out. The Himalayan is definitely not a bad bike and will keep going forever, but lacks power, personally I think I prefer this out of the two.
Honestly, when im comparing this to say, the cb500x, as a courier who has to occassionally cover routes down farm tracks (as a replacement for my current 125) the major failings of this bike are the 4k service interval compared to honda's 8k (which means i'm out of work twice as often) and the fact its chinese.
that said, chinese bikes HAVE got a lot better over the years, and the fact some uk dealers are offering 5 year warranties(!) over the japs 2/3 year ones means I'm actually considering this.
the issue I have, of course, is unlike riders who ride for fun or to commute, taking a taxi isn't an option with my job.
@@dannypeck96 Hi which bike did you end up getting for your work?
@@otablott7779 Ended up getting a 125f from honda to replace the burgman i had when i wrote the comment...
its NOT a dirtbike but it does a damn better job of handling those sorts of things than a maxi scoot or a sports bike.
@@dannypeck96 Thankyou for replying, how is the 125f for 75-100 mile rides comfort wise?
Im very impressed by the whole Benelli range and your reviews are very promising. Can I ask what part of the world this was filmed in as looks wonderful.
This was filmed in northern Italy near Valdobbiadene
Great review of a very interesting bike. I liked everything about it except the weight.
I was looking at the trk 502 and many review said it was not good for offroad. I didnt realise there was a x version. I was thinking to buy this or the himalayan, just because they are not the mainstream. Great review.
Thanks, the Himalayan is a great bike and will keep going forever, but this has a bit more power, so I found it a bit more fun offroad.
Excellent review mate. Well put together. Earned a sub. Keep it up!
Nice honest review. Happy to own one of these. Very comfortable bike, enough grunt for me, easy and fun to ride. No problems at all with it, well build quality! It’s a bike which lets you simply enjoy riding comfortably on a bike with a very nice look! Would recomment it and buy one again if it ever needs to be replaced.
Hi, how tall are you. Will rider 5.7(1.70m) be good on it? Also what is the actual top speed and fuel consumption in/out of the city. Did you tried with with a passenger, thanks.
Hi... Which year's is yours? 2018? Do you still use it? Any problems?
I am 1.69...do you think it will be OK for me?
I have this in India. A proper head turner, enough grunt for my needs. Standing and riding a bit of an issue due to the fuel tank contours. 20 litre tank good fuel economy. Value for money I say!
Great value for money, a real headturner! I liked the fuel tank contours for standing, gave me good grip and control.
Does. It. Have. Tubeless. Tires. !!!??? Thanks. !!!
@@basicdose.9872 The X version in India comes with tube tyres. The standard one is tubeless and is more road biased.
@@mithunkartha What's the servicing and maintenance cost till date?
I'd imagine A2 is like our Australian learners And P1 P2 you are only allowed to have loosely 650cc and under or power to weight ratio compliant machines.. and for that the market is very slim here in Aus I think it would be a great bike for early riders untill they can upgrade to a bigger bike 👍
That's really nice and makes all the sense, however here in India after getting your license you can get the biggest CC bike available 🤣🤣🤣
Great review seems like a real bargin, looks great.
A crisp to the point review for the international audiance . Very professional well-done keep it up dear
Thank you! Much appreciated
Just came across your review, seems we agree on the main points. Great value motorcycle.
Watched your review very slick great video, you present the bike very well. Its made me go and find a dealership to go take alook and sit on one of these TRK's. Great bike love it, will be sorting one out to buy very soon. reminds me of riding my DR750.
Thank you buddy, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
Good and Excellent review. Two thumbs up sign for you. Very clear information and excellent video.
Thank you buddy! 👍👍
Brilliant review! Thank you
Thanks buddy!
After a few years off a bike, I have been looking round for something a bit different to be a daily commuter and something for the weekend. This in my opinion suits me at a 6’3” and on the heavy side. I am looking to have a sit on one to compare it with the RE and Honda’s cb500x
A spanking new bike for a very reasonable price.
Thanks, you’ve convinced me to subscribe 🧐
I liked the Benelli but found the CB500X is more to my liking, quite similar bikes but the bill quality of the Honda & the closer location of a dealer tipped the scales for me as living in country Victoria, Australia you are at least 75kms from anywhere. Enjoy what ever you get.
Safe riding.
Hello! What did you go with in the end? In a similar position now myself
@@brianharry1983
Hello Brian, well to be honest I ended up with a Honda Nc 700 it's not everyone's cuppa but it does everything I need. Great around town and great on weekends. It's not a fast bike but the Reliability of Honda won me over in the end above all else.
Good luck with your hunting.
@@decab8292 Thanks for the reply, and safe riding!
Thanks sooooooo much for this lovely and information guide of the Benelli TRK 502X, i am gonna have a test drive on the 2020 on the seventh in Marts 2020. I am a tall guy 6.2 and 130 kg big mate and i have a small budget so i hope it will fit me.
how was it? did you buy one?
@@chrisw4215 i am sorry to say that, it was not possible for me. I had only the haft of money and I could not get the rest of it.
So I bought en brugt til Suzuki GSX 1100F model 94, not what I want but that is what I have money to buy.
But I really hope at one time in my lift time I can afford to buy it.
@@chrisw4215 ii was out for a spin on one, and I love it.
Thanks for that. Very crisp and informative.
Good review bro. Thanks.
Thanks buddy
Nice review keep posting more videos. Planning to have one.
Great review, very detailed. Well done and thank you.
Looks good. Assuming the finish holds up in the longer term, goes to show you don’t need 1300cc and £20,000 for an adventure bike. In fact for any actual off roading I’d rather be on a slightly lighter bike, and this would be enough for road use as opposed to a single cylinder more off road focused machine...
Hopefully this Chinese tie in works for Benelli, and the build quality is good. I hope that this secures the future of Benelli, a proper Italian brand with plenty of history, while increasing build quality and changing opinion of Chinese bikes. Remember, we used to think the Japanese were poor quality knock offs...
My MV dealer in Barnsley sell Benelli and really rate the new stuff...
Exactly, would be good to be a bit lighter, but it's really capable off road and fun. You could always buy more than three of these for the price of one £20k machine if the finish didn't hold up ;)
@@OneShotMoto it is a great bike, lot's of accessories available aside from the cheap price tag, but I do wish the bike weight to be reduced & the wiring can be improved a lil-bit more
Great review. But I have a suggestion.
The music and visuals at the last part was great but it would be better if you used it as an intro. Having a good introduction will benefit your viewer count.
I disagree, I like the slick and to the point presentation which is what I clicked on the video for in the first place. The music and effects can stay with the fast and furious type movies.
I find it amusing that the guy with 6 subscribers is giving pointers
Really one of the best informative reviews I have seen on this bike thank you so much. I’ve done the big bike names been there, now this bike just seems to do what it says on the tin at a bargain price, what’s not to like?
i do love Benelli bikes i think they are stunning with Italian look with reliability now of the china perfect, however i think if they made 700 -800 version would be very worth a punt then, but if stuck through price id have that over the Honda cb500x every day of the week
I was gonna ask would the benelli be better than the 500x? As they r both 500cc bikes?
Of course can go around the world. A portuguese guy rode one from shanghai to Portugal. ..
Suspension travel, they don't even list it on the official site! how is that possible? Its listed other places as 145mm front and rear, which is maybe a little short on a ADV bike, but if it works well, you can't ride a motorcycle on specs alone eh? great review.
Nice looking bike but, 80-90lbs heavier than CB500X. Pretty much in same price range as Honda if you time it right and look for deals on Honda. It has bunch of details than don't come stock on Honda though. The rear tire size offers better choices than Honda. It's ok if you want to take chance and live with it for a long time as it is pretty much write off financially.
Great review thanks , I’m a older rider who’s just passed CBT and looking at going for A2 license etc this does appeal as a package but also Cb500x or NX as it’s about to become or the RE Himalayan ! Have you reviewed these bikes too ?.
Wish the red was available in the states.
Heck, I wish Benelli sold bikes in Canada 🇨🇦!!
great cinematography!!
Bro can say which one is better trk 502x is a best bike
pick mine up this Friday! Cracking bike for the price.
Great review. How is the reliability and parts availability and maintenance support on this?
I will get one, was looking at the himalayan from royal enfield but this is so much better
A down to earth Frank review
Thanks
Great review 👍
Great review! The €5999,- price tag is annoying to see form a Dutch point of view. In The Netherlands, we have to pay €8200 for it which undercuts this bike to be a bargain for us.
Great Review, Seems amazing value!
Great review, looking at purchasing this bike next week, looking at one fully loaded for travel..!!
Smart review and English English!
maintenance schedule? Velve checks oil change intervals?
Otherwise the bike is very interesting
Nice review thanks!
I just got my M class this year. “Motorcycles of any engine size” I have 2000 miles on a 250 300lb bike would this serve me?
Is 5.7 rider going to be OK on the bike, also what is the actual top speed? How it compares to Aprilia Pegaso 660 Trail?
In the video at 3:56 comimg round the bend the centre stand seems very close to the ground. Did you find that a problem at all (I realise this video is 18 months old so maybe you cant remember). Excellent reviews by the way.
I guess you know by now? After mentioning the weight of 235kg so many times, it weighs 213kg so that's why it goes so well?
Thanks, but the dry weight is 213kg, but the on the road weight is 235kg, so I thought more relevant.
@@OneShotMoto ah okay. Good to know. 20kg of fuel I guess will be noticeable on a lightish bike...
Want you review my cb 400x
Great review. Thx.
Take it around a mud bank or muddy road and see how it does... I bet not quite off road and not quite adventure ready... Too much plastic in front and side flares... needs front guards and the space in front for extra fuel tanks.... It's more like a weekend leisure raider ...
appreciated
Hi! Thanks for the review . In my opinion this motorcycle has some major problems for being a real aventure bike... It's much two heavy . It weights almost as a 1200 GS and it has more than a half power. In the other hand a true adventure motorcycle must be a little bit higher. I would also think about the service network before buying it. But the price is great.
the honda cb500x is 200 kgs. not much of a difference weight wise
@@kyriekwsta770 Hi! The V Strom 650 weight about the same but it's a little bit more powerful....
Is benelli a reliable bike, asking from 🇵🇭, thanks!
How do you compare this bike next to a Kawasaki versys 300x?
How do these sort of bikes not fall from underneath you on grass and rough terrain etc... As apposed to something like my kawasaki z750.. Is it to do with the weight transfer as in these atv bike are lighter on the front end or something??
My height is 5 feet 11inches , will it be ok for me
Absolutely, I’m 6 feet and it was fine for me
Nice video
Everything was wonderful 🤔
why is it so heavy, my F800GS is 20kg lighter
Doea it have quality like Honda and yamaha
No it doesn't. But not that the TRK is not a quality machine. It is. But not in the Japanese level yet. Pretty close though. On personal experience, I enjoyed the Benelli TRK 502 much more than my own Honda CB500X. And I'm talking about the new CB500X. If I were to make a choice between those two again.. I would definitely go for the Benelli.
@@oplon82 I ❤ the 360° crank exhaust note. Btw, I own a 2014 CB500X.
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Does the bike feel comfortable at 130km/h on long highway cruises?
Hello, I've owned this bike for a couple of months now, so I think I can speak on it. There is a fair bit of vibration above 110km/h and the factory windshield was a bit short for me (I'm 190cm tall) so I replaced it with a taller one by GIVI, all in all the bike is great to ride on the highway, very comfortable and if I had to add just one thing it would be cruise control, other than that it's quite good.
It would be a great idea to replace the front plastic with a 10 liter spare gas tank, that would definitely would make it an adventure bike ....Get rid of all the front and sides plastic and do something useful with that space .... On the way maybe increase the front fender/tire distance by at least 5 centimeters .. Think of the users, not just cater to the ( apparent ) aerodinamic profile of the bike... Think to appeal to particular users with different configurations ...Break the mold of just looks .... Why do you think the ugly duckling Royal Enfield Himalaya is becoming an adoptee of the Adventure crowd... It is not for its looks or power, but for reliability easy adaptability.
Is it Ok for daily use?
What is your take on blood red lcd display backlight?
Is it manual or automatic?
Super
Its a bit heavy for 500 cc
have the bike, lots of vibration at any rpm, really only 6th gear at 30mph has less vibrations. in general poorly made bike equipped with pretty old tech
Is it possible to see benelli trk1250x (or trk1251x) in future?
there is rumored to be a trk802 in the future
What’s the MPG like? Could be a good commuter?
It's about 60mpg, pretty good for a commuter for sure!
depend on your riding style, an average speed of 110km/h will get you between the 350km-400km range per-tank
nice bike but not enough power for road riding
*It costs 3000.- Euro in China.*
I’m moving to China!
0:34 is your side stand open? 0o

I would go for the 502x definitely

Nice but dated. No adustable front shocks, no full digital intrument cluster, and whats with Heolgen headlights? Every other comparible brand have everything this Benelli is missing. Must be old generation and overdue for updating, especially engine capacity.

That's a chinese benelli. Do you trust chinese?
They make a damn fine motorcycle! 👍
*Designed by italians, built by chinese.
I do trust chinese, it's no longer like years ago, they are taking quality really seriously when it comes to international market...here in Italy this motorbike is destroying the competition, it's the more sold in 2020
@@AtrolinK They're also built a virus
@@satriyowicak380 yep, and they are creating an army of dragons as well, to attack us with fire
If you are going to make a video about a 502 why not do some research first.
It might give your opinion or opinions more weight.
You said " can it take you around the world ,I don't know " well two mins research youtube search button ,you have your answer.
I think China to Berlin in one hit ,is a good clue....
Overall thanks ,however a bit more work on content.
