Benelli TRK is a great bike...most videos & content makers I feel take out unnecessary flaws ...the bike looks good, is super smooth upto 140 km and great to ride...u don't feel the weight of this bike while riding or turning ...it's a great great bike for someone graduating to big bike...Honda is prized like Kohinoor which it is not ... somebody paying that money should buy verseys and not a 500 cc honda....the review is unnecessarily biased towards honda...if u test ride both and have to shell out money to buy ..90 percent of ppl will buy TRK...it's 90 percent as good as Honda with almost 2 lakh less..and it looks premium..

It is difficult to ride in the city - particularly in traffic - is what most reviewers are pointing out. As we all know, these bikes will spend a considerable amount if their lives in the city, which means it will be a compromise to live with the TRK. The Honda is eye-wateringly expensive - it's not worth that much money anyway, ultimately, making me feel that any brand (KTM, cough cough) could come into this segment and make a bank! I am eagerly awaiting the 490 Adv.

So the Benelli isn't something that is advisable the cost of ownership i.e service, quality of service can't be compared to that of a Japanese company. Also, the Honda is just easier to handle across all environments. I am not saying that it's not a looker the Benelli that is. Also, the Honda got one thing wrong and that's the pricing and if someone were in the market for it i would always point them towards the v Strom as it can do some off road. The Benelli isn't worth the investment because of the higher maintainence cost and reliability issues that creeps in. However to each is own, one must definitely factor in the cost of parts and service costs before buying. I have seen a lot of people make the error of getting a bike and not knowing what it would take to own one. I'd go Honda purely because it makes more sense in the long run and running costs.

@@dsm4652 yup say you use the bikes for 3 to 5 years the Honda will pay it back but the Benelli won't, saying this because when I was in the market for one I did a lot of research which included creating an excel sheet and listing out part costs and that's when you notice the bigger picture. Also, in a survey across the globe when it comes to reliable brands across 100k users for any failures in the first 4 years the brands by ranking were 1) Yamaha 2) Suzuki 2) Honda (tied) 3) Kawasaki These were owner experiences were collated. Also, the Benelli no matter what one says it's not reliable once you put more miles on it. I wouldn't recommend that.
@gauravdeshpande52903 жыл бұрын
Math behind pricing or reliability & refinement over maintenance & vibrations.. • If whosoever is buying a motorcycle & doesn't like vibrations, please buy a car.. • We all love reliable & refined products which Honda is but, Benelli is no slouch either.. One is 90 out of 100 the other is 75 out of 100.. • Both of them will demand maintenance periodically and both will cost the same.. Then why pay 2L more to a Honda.. I would maintain a Benelli upto screws & bolts till 50K kms & still will be having left money for my next trip & fuel.. 2L is a big amount, one can do 4 Mumbai-Ladakh-Mumbai trip inclusive of maintenance & stays.. • Points always mised by reviewers, Benelli comes with all pannier racks & engine guards.. Adding up the weight to Honda, there would hardly be 15-18 kgs of difference left.. • Pannier rack & saddle stay in addition would cost more on Honda's price tag.. • Non availability of spare parts is the only issue in Benelli but, nowadays Honda's also have the same issue.. • All though looks are subjective but, Benelli looks expensive in comparison to Honda.. Benelli seems to be a 8-10L rupee motorcycle or even more for some same way Honda looks 5-6L rupee motorcycle..

Very precised comparison between Bennelli TRK 502 and Honda CB500. For me I will buy for Benelli TRK 502, because it is a more practical bike compare than Honda CB500. Benelli TRK has everything in package not only in performance and looks, but as well the accessories. The Wind shield, Engine crash guard, rear baggage handler and the two sides containers handler, plus the comfortable pillion seat. Lesser Cost, Looks, Performance and accessories for touring and adventure. It has it All! Awesome bike!
@zach-thepuppynextdoor68222 жыл бұрын
I test rode both in the last few weeks. Benelli is super comfortable and would be perfect for 100-110 kmph cruising. I didn't find it hard to ride in traffic either. Honda is an allrounder, could use for both daily purposes and touring. The price difference on road is just 50k considering Honda has brought the price down recently. It's 7.3 laks Vs 6.8 laks. Yes, you would get those extra fittings for free in Benelli. But I am told that service cost is 7-9k every 6 months for Benelli and 3-4k for Honda.

After doing lot of comparisons and test riding most of the Adv touring bikes like Versys 650, Gixxer, 390, TRK, this honda, I finally decided to go for TRK. I could have easily purchased Versys 650, but I liked 502x the most due to multiple reasons. They're giving best at the right Price. Built quality is also very good. Jusg close your eyes and invest in TRK, your money would be right on the cards.
