      What about its weight? You feel confident with that? I'm just trying to decide what to choose between Benelli 800 trail and Yamaha xsr700.

      I'm considering buying this as my first bike also but I'm curious how it handles on the long road. I wanna take it touring across Europe. Would you recommend it for that and have you done any upgrades on yours?
      I've seen there are definitely saddlebag options for the Benelli but don't know anything about attaching a windshield.

    Own a Benelli 752s Euro 4, basically the same engine. Removed the Petrol Charcoal Cannister, removed all hoses associated with it. Fitted a Petrol Tank Overflow Pipe to exit below the engine. Blocked off Inlet Manifold and kept the Solenoid connected, to assist Duel Throttle Bodies and avoid Engine Management Light. Result, a smoother engine that revs out easier with better fuel economy. Engine Idle required adjustment, that's it. Recommend any Benelli owner with this type of emission set up to do the same. A very simple and inexpensive mod to make your bike run better. 👌

    Benelli hasn't had my attention as of late. This makes me want to at the very least keep my eye on then because it looks fantastic and is priced fairly aggressively.

    I have a 2020 Benelli 302s which I love. In 4,500 miles (US) I've had no issues. Gets nearly 80 mpg (US). I almost bought a 500 standard, but dealer sold it before I got there. I am curious about the long-term reliability of the Benelli line, though, and I suspect resale value will be low.

    Ho comprato la benelli leoncino 800 come mia prima moto. É maschia, muscolosa e bells da ogni angolo in cui la guardi.
    Il sound pur essendo originale canta molto bene, ed è veramente maneggevole, comoda e divertente.

    I like the standard 800 but i love the spoke wheels on the 500 trail. This bike really looks great on spokes. But i think the 500 is to slow for me. Makes we wonder.. do the spoke wheel of the 500 fit the 800?

    i m between this and xsr700.i like this more,but its made in china.i dont know....can you help?

    • @gmmotomedia
      @gmmotomedia  Рік тому

      The xsr is a lot lighter but it does feel a bit like a toy I must admit. The Leoncino is more planted and easier on longer trips.

    • @danielkerr4100

      Absolutely nothing wrong with things made in china, things made in other countries are no better.

      I don't really care too much about it to be honest but I can see how it might annoy other people 😉
