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!
