Would I buy the Benelli TRK 502 X 2020 again? Honest opinion. 

How many miles i want to buy trk502 and want to only onroad touring will drive sometimes with wife and luggage i own now a suzuki gsxf 750 a much faster bike but dont care about speed so much it must atleast go to 160kmh

@@alenfora1400 I finished out 2022 with 13,000miles (21,000km) and couldn't pass up a great deal on a Super Ténéré. It's a totally different experience and I miss the TRK. The great news is that Benelli has done a 702 version and I'm hoping we see it in the US before 2024. If so, I'm fist in line! You will be disappointed with the speed if you want 160kmh. That's not what this bike was built to do. I would highway cruise at 100-120kmh but never had the desire or need for more. If I found my self on a highway, some navigational error had occurred since I seek out the twisties and roads-less-traveled. I never rode with a pillion and I suspect it is probably a bit cramped depending on size. Should try that before you buy. Good luck! It's a fantastic bike.

Thank you for these kind words Friend. Try riding on that beach a day after it rained. "Moist" sand is more forgiving. TRK it's a heavy bike, but I enjoy it anyway.

Dude i bet the cb500x with new saddle (feels like a rock), crash protection, handle protection, bigger wind screen and racks for luggage (all branded as in the trk) would easily weight 210 kg. Not to mention the necessary modifications to be adequate in off road such as 19 inch steel wheel and rear steel wheel. The cost of that cb500x would easily reach 9k plus and the weight difference unnoticeable.

How is touring wise i dont care offroad just want to tour sometimes with wife and luggage and how many kilometers you did so far any problems in warranty how is for parts

@@alenfora1400 no probs with warranty at all, the bike is reliable. Cheers

@@pmfsify thank you

@@alenfora1400 you welcome. Cheers

The thing is that I don’t need (at least I think so at the moment) a pure enduro bike. For me an off-road oriented dual sport sounds like a perfect combination. At the moment CRF300 Rally seems like the most reasonable choice, but my heart belongs to T7. Is there anything else worth considering?

@@EmilSbaste i did not drive the Tenere yet so I cannot say anthing. But Tenere and TRK are both heavy for sure, and you will not really enjoy when you keep on going down, pushing and pulling your bike because it is stucked (my opinion). The stock CRF also will not be fun to ride, so I modded my exhaust, sprockets, EJK and tires. To mention my rear shock absorber. After that it is a new bike. But draw back, is you need to spend.

@@EmilSbaste ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WAOO2jM5jH4.html this is a video where a TRK will struggle to handle but is ok with the CRF. I am driving the CRF250L, my brother is using klx150L.

Why would you change an oil in CRF250L every 1000km, while manual recommends changing it every 8000km? CRF L/Rally are not high performance enduro that needs oil change every few hours. This is obviously not true or not needed at least.

@@306Geni coz last time I was supposed to follow service interval but at 1,500Km I heared something ringing near the piston block. I immediately change the oil and the ringing was gone. I do this on my bike coz there are a lot of issues with the CRFs timing chain.

Those are “no names” from Aliexpress, I don’t recommend getting those. It’s worth to invest in a proper set. I had not issues with cables/wires, it’s only 28mm. Take those rubbers out from your foot pegs. It’s impossible to ride with those things on. Thanks

I don’t use it to commute, but for sure you’d have to replace the factory side guards for something narrower, just to squeeze in between cars. I’d say it’s not perfect for skipping a traffic. Size wise, yes it’s a big one. It takes time to get used to that. Is heavy because it come with all the stuff that you’d need to buy anyway. I removed a couple of things and I think I am going to continue without them. Definitely the bike has potential to be became a dream bike :)

Sold it. You can get used to the weight. It was a great machine, I don't regret getting it.

Never thought about it. I am ok with tubes.

Givi S250 or something like that ;)

I am not up to date with EURO5 regulations, so it’s hard to tell. I am sure that these changes can be undone one way or another. I’d probably buy the new version, as the sound is not a priority for me, actually I wouldn’t mind having quieter exhaust.

@@EmilSbaste There is no difference visually, its same as 2020. model. That is the yesterday information from Benelli dealership :D

In euro 5 regulations i think the abs cannot be switched off. There are different opinions about the usefulness of abs in offroad situations. I strongly recommend to do your own research because i am not so sure about it

Euro5 will be more expensive, beside that everything will be much the same less the emissions.

which risers

@@Kairska handlebar risers

Correct, those are two separate categories. I am not trying to compare them, I am saying that at the moment I would but CRF, as it’s more off-road capable. If not the fact I am about to start building a house, I’d have the CRF in my garage already. Still TRK is a great all-arounder.

I have the 502 Road and I can tell you that if you do regular touring with full luggage and your wife on the back then you will definitely be working the gearbox on the trk 502 a lot more than a bigger capacity bike, that said it will still be ok especially if when you're touring you keep your speeds at a reasonable level. Don't expect to be doing 80 miles an hour all day on a motorway 2 up with luggage. All of that said I agree completely with this review that the bike is extremely good value and anyone who is daft enough to think that this is a Chinese bike needs their head looking at. So, if you look at the difference in specification between this bike and the Honda 500 which is it's main competitor there is no real comparison because this bike has more power - ok it also has more weight but it has twin floating Discs at the front compared to the Honda which has a single disc setup, it has an alloy rack fitted I believe the Honda has not, it has decent crash bars as standard and again the Honda has none, it also has handguards as standard and again the Honda has none. All in all it's the best value adventure style bike on the market and that's why Benelli are selling every single one they can make with no problem at all! My only criticism of this bike and it is not really a criticism because I knew the situation before I bought mine is the facts about it could use another 10 horsepower. If Benelli were to increase the power it would take it out of the A2 class of course so many full licence holders are riding this bike I really do think it would be worth Benelli investigating in flashing the ECU and derestricting the exhaust and airbox for these riders. If that type of modification available then this bike would be an absolute steal and a no-brainer for the majority of riders who just want a good bike to get from A to B whilst looking at the scenery

What do you mean? I said I would :) it’s also in the description. Maybe I should have kept the video shorter, but I couldn’t stop talking.

@@EmilSbaste Ok thanks. Good video

@@catinbuyomilo Sorry if I digressed too much. This whole video was rather spontaneous.

@@EmilSbaste dont worry. My english comprension is not too good. But listening you slowly i understand better

:)

Jeśli znajdzie się grono zaintersowanych to z chęcią zrobię polską wersję :)

@@EmilSbaste no to czekamy... 😉

@@Borman747474 daj proszę znać, na co szczególnie powinienem zwrócić uwagę, czy jest coś co warto omówić, a z jakiegoś powodu nie znalazłeś odpowiedzi w sieci.

Bardzo fajny materiał 👌
