Have my 502x for just over a year now. First thing you need to do is swap the pads for HH all over the stock are absolute rubbish. Second, Throw a 16tooth front sprocket on with a D.I.D X-ring chain. the stock chain rusts super quickly and was just meh , with the 16 tooth you will notice a reduction in vibrations on motorway riding and get a little more top end torque. Third , get LED bulbs and a decent set of auxiliary lights on it, the stock isnt bad but isnt good its just ..... meh. with a full LED kit this thing is a dream on dark back roads night riding. As for the windscreen , im 6ft 3 and bought the PUIG touring windscreen and can safely say there is zero wind noise of buffeting. stock exhaust is absolutely lovely and there is no need for an aftermarket can whatsoever. All in all i would say this bike is a dream to drive but has some nit picky hickups such as the breaks and the headlights. overall id say its a 7.5/10 from me and definitely worth considering for someone looking for the GS style and comfort without paying GS money.

Probably the most detailed review ived ever watched i am a user of trk502x from philippines i got mine 6months old and now i got 16000km on the clock aand this defines how reliable this machine is

Thank you for the content. You have the best motorcycle videos on youtube. I dont know why you have so few subscribers relative to bigger youtubers

I'm loving these bike reviews, hoping for many more to come!

FINALLY HE IS BACK 🎉

I bought one for work in 2019 it’s just past 30.000 thousand and hasn’t missed a beat.

I Was so looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍

Thanks for this! I'm excited to get my first trk! 502x!!

Hi, I have been using the TRK502 ( without the X) since 2019. First series, with all the childhood diseases. Very, very comfortable and nothing has broken. Surprising even to me. I agree with: Glass - too low, Plastics - needed to be lined with foam. My version is without illuminated switches. And the brakes - the TRK502 has much stronger brakes than the X version. Four pistons on each front caliper. And the engine? I already know machines with 50000km on the odometer. Still all OK.

Nice review. I appreciated your casual delivery and style.

What a great channel. Good luck man you make great videos

Welcome back brotha 🤙

Well put together video.

He's back!

Welcome back❤you are the best🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Benelli's are super! I had a benelli 302s (You should review it). I upgraded to an SV650, but the benelli was such a lovely little approachable bike and it could do what you told it to no questions asked.

Another great video 💪Can’t wait for the next one in Summer 2025

Got a Benelli 502 (non-X) in 2021. There wasn't much inventory at that time and this was an unexpected option. Did 12,000+ miles in 14months throughout New England, Blue Ridge, Dragons, OBX, etc. Not a SINGLE HICCUP! Comfortable, smooth, MPG was >50 routinely and a couple of stretches up to 60mpg. The weight wasn't noticeable at speed as it would tip in easily and held a line nicely (with upgraded rubber to Michelin Road6). I intentionally went for the weight/power ratio as a returning rider and it didn't let me get in over my head. Even though I had the road-biased version, it handled a few intentional off-pavement sections (and a couple of Oh-shit-where-am-I navigational errors). Excellent value for the $$ but not going to get your adrenaline pumping if your looking for huge power and torque. A solid performer. Will instantly get the 702 as soon as they reach this continent.

Good review well done

What a great review dude you got a new subscriber

excellent and honest review. I wish i had a height like yours. Having no option i am now proud owner of benelli 502c. Please make a review video of benelli 502c

This channel is the Donut Media Up to Speed of motorcycles and we need more videos.

Been using TRK502 for 3 years. 100k km millage clock. Using for daily commuting 168 km. Suit my need & budget. Easy to maintain. Easy to troubleshoot if there is problem. Rarely give problem. Reliable. Here in Malaysia there is a lot of people using for daily commuting to work. Some even clock more than 200k km millage in 5 years.

My 502TRK as been in my ownership for 4yrs 6mth, 14k now lock down didnt help with mileage. However nothing as gone wrong the bike as performed faultlessly. The only thing I was not happy with was the dead feel to the brakes especially the back one, replacing with EBC pads transformed that and an elastic band chain which despite regular adjusting/cleaning/lubing only saw 6k. The bike as been parked outside with a cover since new ands as seen very little deterioration of component parts fixtures and fittings just given a dose of ACF50 once every 6mths. Despite the press and testers banging on about the weight cant say I ever really had an issue with it, mines the non X which is slightly lower. Would I recommend the bike yes and thats after 43yrs of riding everything from heavy weight cruisers to Fire Blades and everything else between. Thanks for the review, enjoyed it.

You rock 🤘

Looks good value. What seems to let them down is the lack service centres in the UK 😢

i have the x since march, now 5000km and i am verry happy with here. great touring bike and i can drive all day and not getting tired 👍❤️

Thanks ✌🏻😊

Trust me. You do need 160hp on an adventure bike 😜 great review!

The engine sound is down to the 180 degrees chrankshaft , giving the bike more torque down low sacrificing overall power , meaning the engine is suited to the weight of the bike without going over the max power allowed on the a2 license

Thank you for this review. I am trying to figure out if I need to trade in my Tiger sport 660 for the Benelli non X model. The Benelli's seat and seating position is so much more comfortable when I sat on it in the showroom! All of my Versys 650's I could ride for 4 hours while on the Triumph my max is 30 min.

Thanks for giving a height comparison! Not many do. I'm looking at various dual purpose bikes for general gravel road exploration, but at 5' 7'' this one may be a little too high, combined with over 200kgs weight. Great bikes though!

A bike review is something new 👍 Nicely done, but you've not sold me on the Benelli. For the money I guess it's not too bad but personally, I would go Honda CB500X and have reliability and worldwide parts availability

Wow I figured you would say 5, I am in the US and have ridden all my life o all kinds of bikes. I am looking at an Adventure Bike. But don’t want to spend 20k and find out I am not stoked on it. So I figured I would pick up the 502X and see how it goes. Thanks for the info

I like this very much, but only concern is its meter... It should have been LED meter

Have you tried the Moto Morini X-cape? Little more money but pretty good.

hi mr. urge, i really enjoy watching your videos from here in n.y. i was just wondering if you ever ride older sport bikes. the early 90s zx7 is my all time favorite bike. i would really like to hear your thoughts.

It'd be interesting to see you give a look to the Voge 500 DS/DSX after trying the TRK, since that's the other up and coming "adventure-ish" competitor

Had mine for 9 months. Yep. The buffeting sux. Yep. It would be nice to be lighter and more powerful but it doesn’t matter. The height and width and those boxes really keep the cars at bay. Yes, it’s a wish gs. Speedo at night is overly bright. Those tyres let you scrape quite comfortably. Rear brake locks on dirt very easy but not onroad without fist full of front. I describe it as a rough road tourer.

Try the Leoncino 500. Smiles a minute.

Good review...can you put the mic on a stand? Looks weird holding it like that

If you enjoyed this, try more middle weight adv bikes. I was a die hard sport bike rider for the longest time, but now I need a sport bike and an adv. Adventure bikes (good ones at least) are just really practical hooligan bikes. Tons of fun. Your channel is fantastic btw. You have some seriously good presenter skills.

Since this bike came out the local Benelli dealer has had one to sell. Everybody quit waiting for the next one.

Intelligent bike🎉

I Drive a trk 502 more the 20000 Kilometers ,absolut no Problems no Broke , a lovley economic bike ,Tires 13000km to change, with a 160hp ktm you need to change tires after 6000km....its very comftable bike for long travels and with 48hp you didnt get so much trouble with the Police like a 160hp bike😂 i just change my windscreen for a higher one , and change the Front lights to a led Light....Best regards from germany

I had one, not gonna lie, first off I really liked it but over time the build quality started to show, rust and wear and tear, also total lack of power, weighs an absolute ton! Now I have an Africa twin…. O yeh and the servicing was a total pain in the arse, next to impossible to get hold of parts numbers let alone the actual parts

Sounds like discount F800GS. F800GSA if you need more fuel. Sure, those are not new, but you get the same engine concept, with the difference being that they feel like big bikes while also being capable off road.

Thank you for taking the plunge and reviewing a Chinese bike. As a long time rider of Zontes and Cfmoto adventure bikes, I have nothing to be ashamed of. Please keep up your excellent work and unique style.

Am I seeing wrong, or doesn’t it have only the left hand guard? 🤔

Do you know about the Voge 500DS

Where is the new vid?

needs a bit more power imo, find this a hard sell over a cb500x which is similar in power, benneli sure does look nice imo

UTR - Always great writing for your content. But that voice..... You should just narrate videos for a living - awesome pipes!

My lifetime motto has always been. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki & Kawasaki. No other brands are considered. Never let down in over half a century. You have an XSR900. Just lift the seat and look at the precision loom routing, quality connectors and components. It's a different world than Italy, Germany or India etc. Little men in white factory overalls and white gloves with perfection etched into their national psyche! Cheers.

It has a 360 degree firing order, like an old Triumph. That's why it has such a different sound to most small twins.

Didn't Bernelli do the Tornado,years ago that came and went under the radar?

As an owner, I don't like the engine and the gearshift, the weight is a bit too much. I feel like if they reduced the weight in a style of a tenré the bike would be a lot better. Still, love the bike, happy with my choice.

Looks like Multistrada, sounds like GS.. That's the formula 😆

A good used buy then?

Would be interesting to find out the price of the fairing if you had a drop. For me it's engine size over bike size. I have a cb500x and don't mind its dimensions. I'm not sure how I feel about a small engine in a bigger build. You buy in because it's cheap, cheaper than the other bikes, and it's no surprise the GS310 is more expensive, it has that badge and desirable connotation. But look how much a clutch lever costs or fairing for that matter. Badge be damned...

Check out SOUL WITH WINGS, how he play with 502x

Test a vstrom 250

In the Philippines, our dash is black and not white. I don't know why it's white outside my country. It must be some form of government rule thing? I don't know. But I can definitely say ours look better with the black tachometer.

Wasn't Benelli supposed to release a 752cc adventure bike? In 2023

it sounds as it does because it has a 360 degree crank and not because they want it to sound like something else

Heavy as hell!!!

I think Benelli have some private musicians to help tune their exhaust. All Benelli twins sounds close to inline 4s.

@UrgetoRide What bike do you normally ride?

Compare Benelli with BMW ahahahahah you are so funny!

the 360 crank does it no favours but its clone brother , the QJ SRT 550 has a 270 craank , therefore lighter crank and tft dash , just sayin ;)

👍👍👍👍👍❤🥰

More more more

is it true that benelli have problem if you ride them over 120km/h they start to tremble

It sure is a great bike with great success. But it has only one fault. The weight. If you have a chance try and ride a KOVE 500x, which has a similar power output, even better components and weights 40kg less. Pure joy of riding.

Yeah sure, Benelli sold more than 200,000 just in the last year, right?

Nah A2 allows upto 94HP but then restricted down to 47HP. This allows you to take a legal risk and remove the restrictor on your bike. Legal... No, but there are plenty of bikes that have this as part of their hidden appeal.

What about moto morini x cape head to head

1:10 did he really just say the bike is 6300 pounds instead of 630

Probably because it’s very cheap, doesn’t get much more straightforward than that.

Maybe because it's 4 times cheaper? :D

Shades of the SWM super dual........ 🤷

Yet another adventure bike with a buffeting problem, just like my V-Strom.

Bad Weight to Power ratio and not A off-road bike its better on road.

It's because it's popular in China, that's why.

Where is it made?

"Dimensions of a bike 3 to 4x the power". Lol, the 1250GS only has 136 bhp, if you multiply 47bhp by 4 you get 188, not many adv bikes around with that power 🤣

You still alive?

Renault also sells more than BMW😀

Great review but I have to point out I disagree with the statement "adventure inspired bike". I have one and I do A LOT of offroad with it...even some enduro trails. Granted I come from years of enduro riding and I do have a decent amount of experience but still...this bike could do everything a GS does and it can do it on a budget. If you are somewhat experienced there is really no limit to where you can get with this bike. You might not be the fastest...for sure, but you will get there.

Of course it does. The BMW is a rip off

You’re riding on the wrong side of the road!

Get back to making videos!!!

There's no bike i hate more than the gs. It's a huge (literally and figuratively) nerdbike. And way way way too popular. Every other bike on the road is one of those three meter high road tanks with some fat guy in a high viz jacket with an additional high viz vest on top... flip up helmet and too much money, having ridden zero miles on anything other than pavement. Lord I truly hate that bike because of what it represent.

It outsells the GS due to price alone. The quality of the TRK is poor a budget bike. However the price for a small entry level adventure bike ( if you dare go off road with it ) is right on the money.

Always had hatred on GS1250'S and the TRK502x, both are garbage tho. Here in Asia, the TRK502x is the closest thing these midlifecrisis taking, no taste dads can afford, and they also have terrible resale value and rep, alot I see get immediately get listed for 3 to 9 months of ownership and no one buys them

I would never buy junk like that! 50hp ??

I would never buy Chinese junk

chinese? NOPE!

This is Chinese junk.. They are paying youtubers to sell it. My friend fell for the scam Bought it. Wanted to sell it within 10 days, But he had to use it for 50 days cause he cudnt find a buyer. Now he has a Honda 500x Past 5 months and his is so happy
