What a coincidence, here I am sitting on the fence about going from RE to Benelli but nervous as hell and your truly excellent video pops up! Not only like your comments about your bike but also the whole way you produce the video!! Thank you!

Great review. I just picked up my new TRK502X a few days ago and immediately rode it 850km through New Zealand to get it home. Coming from my old bike which was a KTM Duke 390, the level of comfort and ability to cruise at higher speeds is great on this for a learner approved bike. My biggest complaint so far is the vibrations at higher rpm. The exhaust note is spectacular as well 😁 Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Love the review. Have been tossing around the idea of getting one, and now, as soon as I click "comment" I'm going to call my local dealer who has a brand new 2021 in white w/o luggage, and down a deposit before someone else snatches it up. Thanks again! -Cheers

CBT and Theory test now booked as lockdown eases, and I'm still adamant that this is the bike I want once my DAS is out of the way. Thanks for all the info on your channel.

Thanks for this review and all you videos about the TRK 502 x I have ordered my TRK 502, not the ‘X’ series as the standard bike will be sufficient for my needs and my much shorter legs. I ordered a lower seat that has now arrived. Can’t wait to get the bike this week, put the low seat on and go for a blast!!! collect it one day this week. I live in Costa Blanca Spain so we don’t have to worry about lots of rain, though wouldn’t mind a bit of rain just now.

Again, an excellent review. Thanks!

Thank you for the very précised long term review of your Benelli TRK 502X. Very comfortable for touring.

Really good review! I'm picking my brand new 502x this Friday, this review defiantly helped me make my decision. So much bike for the price.

I have trk 502, chopped in a Himalayan which i had for 3 1/2 years which was great but changed what i needed, the trk is great just over 1100 miles in and all ok bar a sticky break piston cleaned and a bit if copper slip sorted that, had the same thing on hondas and kwasakis in tge past so no drama. Parts seem cheep after having a look at gb moto. Great bike so far.

Great review. Great all round touring bike straight out of the box IMO.

Excellent mc review 👏 Loistava arvostelu.

Goodwork well done. Sometimes doing reviews on Chinese bikes is difficult with the back lash. The 502 range is fantastic.... They also sound brilliant 👍🍻

Really good honest review 👍🍻🍺🍻

I have the standard TRK and have completed 4000 trouble free miles. I moved down from a 1200 BMW and have found this a brilliant bike. I have short legs and I can get my feet flat down easily. This lower power has allowed me to enjoy the environment I am riding through and has been perfect for me up in the Scottish Highlands. My wife confirmed that the pillion seat is very comfortable and I have completed a 600 mile day long ride without complaint. Just wish there were some dealers up here in Scotland.

I just traded my Honda Transalp 650 for one of these today, it was getting old and needing some rapairs in the gearbox. I think i wont notice any performance diferences, and my wife is gonna be alot more confortable in the TRK. Hope i wont regret it, atm im pumped! Great video m8, thx for the long review.

Good review. I'm 52. These are the sort of roads I now ride on. I hate major A roads. I'm using my Aprilia Mille 1000 less and less and taking my Ninja 250R instead on minor roads and loving it. I'm looking for a bike to swap both in for to use, like this one.

Overall excellent balanced review.

Great video, very informative. Well done.

Hey good man I buy from aliexpress all the time never an issue great website and you can believe it or not can ring them in Hong Kong for a euro great review

Just done the 1st service on mine, so far so good, one thing I'm changing is the std chain, its not good Imo, I'm realistic in the fact of the price point where the belt has been tightened, so a new chain will not bother me to buy, also ordered a bigger front sprocket as I've done this mod several times before on other 500cc bikes and works well, looking fwd to some touring in the next few months, keep the reviews coming 👍

Traded in my 4 month old Royal Enfield Himalayan for the Benelli TRK502. Best decision! I use the bike for touring with a pillion and the Himalayan with its single cylinder was very underpowered. The TRK is perfect for my use!

I have only had mine for a week or so and not gone far but I really like it ... proper comfy. I have had way too many bike over 40 odd years and I think if I had come to this from my ZZR1400 or maybe any of my many large capaicty bikes then probably been disappointed on power ... however my last 3 bikes have been XT660z's (which are great bikes) but they are slower than the Benelli and so I am happy with the power ... and I'm on 9 points 🤣 I have moved the gear lever up a notch or two as I found my boot was struggling to get under it, also took the rubber footpeg fittings off and thats better and no vibes funnily enough ... yes there are some obvious cost cutting of plastics and the switches are cheap but the value is kept where needed i.e. peach of an engine and gearbox, decent brakes, super comfy seats, decent forks etc etc ... I really like it.

Great review.

God bless the quality engineering that went into the non hinged gas cap as well as the passenger foot peg blocking access to the center stand….

Love my trk 502x it's a great great little driver in my opinion a terrific bike very comfortable on a Long run, build quality is great, plenty of power for me it will sit easily at 70 on the motorway with more when you need it.

great video quality mate

You sold me one my friend. Waiting for the arrival.

2020/2021 trk and trk X are much more reliable and quality than the oldest models... In the forums the usually talk bad for the oldest version ( was a mess and very low quality) 👍👌

Wanted a Yamaha MT-07 but local dealer had literally squat in inventory. Said he was waiting on his mt 09 he ordered 3 months ago. Yeah looks like ill be getting a TRK, Might lack a little in power for an off road bike but this one is already built for adventure.

Hi , Hope your doing well. Just to let you know ,I have reviewed the TRK now on a video coming out Sunday and I have linked this brilliant review to video to my end screen. Hope your OK with that. I guess you would be , but just making sure : ) E.R

Your bike is in lovely nick. What do you use to apply the ACF 50? I’ve always found the aerosol pretty useless and the pump spray they supply with the bottle doesn’t really give a good even misted coating. I’m thinking about a 502 for my next bike and your video has made me think this will be a smart move. Thanks for the very comprehensive long term review.

SO THANKFUL for this review! I no longer have to worry about spending 16 GRAND for a 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally! I work at a motorcycle dealership & NO WAY I'd ever think about buying a Chinese bike: until now!

Get that 15 tooth front sprocket for touring it's great, my friend actually runs a 16 tooth but if you go for the 16 you'll need to change the chain aswell

Great review. I'm coming from Kawasaki 1000 and thinking about this bike or nc750x dct. I like the look of Benelli more, and that is quite an important factor. Also, the price difference is significant. I loved Kawasaki, but with my height of 6.2 this bike was uncomfortable for anything longer than 40 miles. Benelli seat height is 840mm, which is a bonus. Honda is famous for its reliability. Hard choice

Hi mate thanks for this video am looking at buying on of these this month and I’ve found your video very helpful. I see on your bike you have extended crash bars on the upper part of your bike to protect your fairing where can you get theses how much are they. Could you please send me me some information. Once again thanks for this video. Your a star ⭐️🙏

Brilliant review and I would agree with everything and I'm at 7600 miles (2021, 502, non-X) Just finished 3100+ miles solo trip with 190,000 vertical feet, almost all road though some were marginal. Did some intentional moderate off-road and a few "holy-$h!t-how-did-I get-here" stuff. This bike did everything I asked of it with no complaints. Got 55-62mpg. Had some serious wind on a few days and agree this bike is very stable in both head and cross-winds. One question... would you consider changing the front sprocket to 15 tooth to drop some RPM on the motorway? Have a HUGE trip in the planning stage and this might be a significant advantage. Great vid! Subscribed,.

I have gone up a tooth on the front sprocket which brings the revs down a bit at normal cruising speeds. The bike doesn't struggle with this mod.

It sounds like a BMW 1250 GS, it's amazing.

Hi there, I am planning on getting a 502x this Summer and having looked at your vids, I was wondering if you have a list of accessories and where you got them? It would be super! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos.

I think they are excellent value for money, mine has been trouble free (So far). Did I recognise town yetholm and morebattle?

Well that's me sold. Benelli it is for me!

hi i have had my 502x since oct 2020 i love the problem i have with it is the first bike i have had in years and i have let it go down twice not fully drop but got to a way down and not being able to hold it from catching my crash bar not much but slight mark on it once when slip on wet grid and one when a lady reverse into me while i was sat on it at a road junction am six foot and 16 stones is it down to experience or could it be to big for me when i am on the road it such a lovely bike and i grin from ear to ear but is it to big and should i look for a smaller bike mates at work who have bike and big ones say it will come with expreance because i love it and look forward to some good camping tours on it but what do you think (p.s. not a speed merchant )

is the spokes good? do we need to check the allignment every month or year???

Looking at buying one, what top box and panniers have you got. And what mount. It’s a must for me and I’m struggling looking for some.

Terrific review but just a bit confused. I am tall and need to know which bike is taller, the 502 or 502x? Thanks for this terrific review.

Nice review but if you’re unhappy with the power you can now get the new 800!

what motorcycle dryer do you use?

It Seems that the only faulty trk 502 has been mine , i bought the bike 4 months ago, it has been in the workshop for the 3 months, it’s a complete pain

Mpg?

what is the mileage of this bike? I found a 28000km one? should I get it? or the engine is done?

I am really thinking about buying this bike. I am not sure which one should I get the X version or the more road version...

nice 1 im tempted.. What is it like to get spare parts for it ..👍👍👍

Benelli is not included in my purchase search. The “Italian-Chinese” brand does not exist to me.

How tall are you? Any issues with seat height? Thanks.

This bike or keep with my stinky 20 year old Honda varadero xl1000?

Iam sorry but i didnt get how much miles you did on the bike, i think that i heard 3300 miles, is it correct?

What is the mpg like?

I'm sold, off to buy a Benelli.👍👍

3.5k miles is long term?

Build quality can't be determined at 3k miles. It's barely broken in.

If that is not self engrandizing. I don’t know what is.

As nice as these bikes are .You can still get a better bike for the same price on the used market

Panniers look great and work with lines of a motorcycle..top box...nonononono NO .terrible things.🙈
