Reviews of Benelli TRK 502

Guys, I have the bs4 variant of the TRK 502. I can say this is one hell of a bike that amazes you each time you set out on a tour. The bike is super comfortable on highways and capable of running triple digit speeds for hours on the saddle. Well designed to go on highways, village roads and where there is none. However it's that too heavy for city commute but it isn't bad. What surprises you is the engine cooling system, even during city rides the bike is not heating up too fast. Only missing element is a mobile navigation tripper which should be provided at this cost. Service costs are high, yes that's correct. Benelli should work to bring this maintenance costs down if it really means volume business in India. The new bike should have addressed a few issues pertaining to the tank design which is not very comfortable when you stand on the pegs and your knee guards do leave scratches. Seating at 800mm is quite tall for anybody less than 5ft 8inchs. I believe the new seat profiling is better. Fuel efficiency is decent with the bike returning 23kmpl on average on city + highway rides. What you will hate is the headlights, they are just there because you need them but they don't do any good, the beams are skyward. So, go for aux lamps if you ride at night. The pricing is quite decent considering the competition is also heating up and there are the 300s and 400s that cost you almost the same money. The rear seats are really nice for pillion, however the pillion has to mount the bike before the rider can mount as it's quite tall for average Indian women. It's a delight to ride and I have done about a dozen over 300 km trips and the bike has never let me down. The tyre's are good but you can't do cornering tricks on this one, it's meant to be a Tourer that can get you from point a to point be safely and reasonably fast. The bike though is underpowered for its size, you won't feel it as the power deliver is very clean without stutter and brashness. Finally, this machine comes with almost everything a Tourer needs right out of the factory. But read me right, it's tough to get accessories outside the showroom and you need your customs guy to help you out if you need any. Well, I am enjoying the ride and I hope you too will. Cheers!!

Buying this beast my dream love at first sight, actually driving experience is so nice I never get any problem on road, looks are Awesome everyone thinks it's a Ducati product but as all you know its beneli, servicing is good but so expensive, availability of parts is more worse than its servicing you have to wait minimum 1 or 2 months and parts are quite expensive , showroom can easily tight your pocket, pros - best 500 cc bike in this price tag and best for those who love to tour, cons- high price of servicing and parts , if your bike broke down in midway you can do nothing that time, less service station network in India . you have to take very cautious during rides and carry extra parts .

Buying was an unforgettable memory for me. Riding this bike is really a great experience but unfortunately I got a small accident with this bike after that i sold it to a friend who is from Nainital.
Over all its a great bike for who want to explore India specially mountain area. Go for it & complete your dreams.
