Benelli TRK 502 X REVIEW: small changes, better motorbike - Onroad.bike 

I also was looking at the Honda. I just wonder would the engine be as longer lasting as the Honda.

@@paulcummins5231 the honda is made in Thailand......no better then the benelii

Also looked at the CB500X, but I decided on the TRK X, gonna pick it up next week. The Honda is a good bike, but i did not get any vibe from it, and i got an instant vibe with the TRK. Italian design and Chinese made. A lot of people have something against it. But most parts from Yamaha, Honda etc are produced in China. And as somebody said earlier, the CB500X is made in Thailand, so what are we talking about anyway….

@@peter58murray The honda cb500x is bulletproof. The Benelli although good is not likely to outlast the honda.

@@nazgul1779 Being made in Thailand is not a negative!. Those Hondas are bulletproof and have an incredible reputation for reliability. The very best! Well done to Thailand!

Would you, please, be so kind to tell me how many kilometers have you traveled so far and have you had any problems with the bike. What's it like for filtering through traffic and your general opinion. Is it worth buying or should i go for a used Japaneese bike instead. Thank you very much in advance and all the best with your ride.

@@novaklazovic Hi, I have around 5K on the bike. Lockdowns and the virus has limited my use unfortunately. I really enjoy riding it a lot. I find it very nimble to ride either in town or in the country. Because the handlebars and seat are high it gives a good view of the situation and commands a good presence so traffic is less likely to push you around. It handles well so is very nimble in the city and holds a line very well with good lean and grip. It can also change line very well mid corner which is surprisingly easy for a large bike. If the road is bumpy the long suspension copes very well. I wanted a new more fuel efficient bike and don't ride very fast so it seemed ideal choice for me. It does exceed the flow of traffic if you want without effort but to go really fast then get a more powerful faster bike. If you like to progress and still look at the scenery on back roads too it is ideal. You have to ride one before making your choice to be honest as we are all different and want different things. I bought one straight away and so did my friend who ride mine once only. I find it a real world bike at a real world price and given that a BMW 1200 gs is three times the price then there is a long way to go to financially find out if there is any problem with parts of the bike. I chose to take the chance on one as there is lots of reviews from Asian countries doing big distances and very few issues. One man ride from China to Portugal and only had a leaking rear shock but admitted he overloaded the bike and only had road going version not the X variant. Ride it and see but for the money I think it's worth the chance, especially if you don't do lots of miles everyday.

Thank you very much, I'll give it a try definitely. All the best.

@@googlecontrolled Hello my friend, I have bought lately the older version of the TRK 502 ( none x ) and I have to agree with you about comfort and nimble. When I first sat on it, was very heavy, but after 2 days riding I get more used to it and more confident, riding in 6th gear with 5000rpm gives a very good fuel usage, looks are amazing, riding position superb. Before I had Benelli BN 125 , was a good learners bike, this 1 is from different breed, with lots of torque and speed!

I've seen that same discoloration on a few other bikes - The conclusion i came to is that it's always the header straight behind the wheel that gets that dull color. probably just burned on road grime.

Honda CB500x is lighter and simpler. This TRK502x is very heavy and huge. What is your body size (height and weight)?

Non x has a stupid exhaust in my opinion, i dont like the underbelly exhaust. Also wheels are different, normal is both 17 inch cast aluminum and x is 19 front and 17 rear and are spoked.

The same as earlier.

Sure

Too bad you're missing out on a excellent value for money bike ....

@@tauruswinds37 Too heavy for the engine size.
