I have almost 3000 miles on my benelli trk 502x love it . Power is sufficient for what I need it to do . No issues keeping up with any other bikes with more power . Always the first to bolt away from a traffic light . Pleasure to ride . If I want speed I get on my Monster 1200 although it's nowhere as comfortable .

To all thinking to buy this try the 502 rather than the 502x its more manageable and you can adjust the height the bike is for more touring and good for short people like us haha but like i said about the heavyweight of the 502 is heavy but manageable 😉

I am keen to buy one, in white. Great value, live in NewZealand where cities, gravel roads, river & lakes are all within 2hrs, & planning to use as a weekend rider/daytrip machine. My last bike was a Suzuki gsxr 1100, very powerful, but unkind to a 48yr old spine, & couldn't travel on gravel. I am looking forward to being able to explore & stop for a coffee either urban or bush.

Hi Paul, really good video and that exhaust note is awesome. Just to add my 4 personal dislikes with the TRK - 1. the usb socket on the fairing when being used it is no longer waterproofed and you also have your usb cable flopping around . 2. the fuel cap is not hinged hence you need to find somewhere to place it when refueling. 3. The way the center/central stand lever tucks up under the rear foot peg mounting thus restricting some foot access to it - but on the plus side at least it has a center/central stand. 4. This is not about the TRK, it is about Benelli marketing, in Australia it just doesn't exist there are no dedicated Benelli motorcycle shops which then makes one question the availability of spare parts, I don't know if you have the same issue in the Philippines? Would I buy this bike of course l would . At 8:40 in your video what place is that cause I have been to the Philippines? - thankyou.

Hi Stuart, this is great input! Hopefully people watching this video will read your comment! We do have "Benelli Philippines" branches only selling Benelli bikes in addition to some partner dealers selling multiple brands. In addition, units being sold in the Philippines are being assembled locally (in Cavite) so parts availability should not be a problem🙂 Regarding location, at 8:40, this is along dr sixto antonio ave, in Pasig City.

The CFMoto MT650 is a touring bike like the TRK and defintately is good value. Besides that only Bristol has a model s in the same price category. Despite the GT 650 has a bit more modern specs/technology the TRK appeals more to me, that is just me though and not necessarily everyone else.

Thanks for watching! You would be on your toes, definitely not flat footed. But not tippy toes either. I am 5’10 but with short legs for my height and had little issues managing the height. Are you a beginner or experienced rider? Sorry, don’t have the bike anymore to show how it looks (footage was from a while back). Do you have the chance to visit a Benelli dealer to sit on a unit or even test ride? The 502 is a bit lower than the 502X so you have an option.

It might not come across in a video, but this exhaust was really loud. Hurt my head while riding. In terms of exhaust volume the number of cylinders is not what decides how loud it is, open pipes generally are very loud. Inline 4 engines are not louder in general if all stock, the main difference is how it sounds rather than how loud it is. The sound quality of inline 4 (and 3) is better in my opinion in most cases so inline 4 still sounds good even if you have an open pipe.

Hi! Honestly in terms of clutch/shifting gear, it’s not really something to worry about. I worried about the same but it’s something you adapt to very quickly. Engine wise the trk 500cc is very good for beginners as the power is very linear so no crazy burst of power and the throttle easy to manage. Now, the biggest challenge for adventure bikes is the size. The TRK is heavy, the DS is a bit lighter. How tall are you? Looks like the DS has lower seat height which is an advantage if you are on the shorter side. If you are taller then the TRK is great.
