User Review of TRK 502 by Hcghn

"Warning to all potential buyers! I've had a nightmare experience with my Benelli TRK 502. Despite repeated issues like chain shatter noise, clutch cable snap and broken silencer guard, Benelli India has failed to address my concerns. More than 3 months my motorcycle was at service center since i have purchased on 2023 october. Save your money and consider other reliable options. Don't make the same mistake I did!

About the Reviewer

I bought this bike last year only, I got to know about this bike from a friend of mine and I just fell in love with it just by looking at it the power the feel of riding it the road presence everything is just awesome
I have ridden this bike for more than 5000 km now and not a single issue is faced it is very comfortable to ride for long routes with no back pain you can cover 500-600 kms in a single day without any problems. The bike looks massive and pleasing to the eyes wherever you go all the eyes will be on you as if you are riding a Triumph Tiger 1200
I got my first service on 1000 km and 2nd just last week on 5400 kms and no extra money I have spent on this giant.
Pros - Very powerful, road presence, comfort riding,
Cons- The only major con is the weight I'm 5'11" and 80 kg still this feels heavy so for short guys I won't suggest this bike.

I have owned this bike past one and a half years it's a good bike for long touring and occasionally riding it gives more riding pleasure and comfort bike weight is no problem for my riding style it gives more stability and more confidence on highway braking side is okay but not too good sounding of this machine is good it gives more road presence. Finally, I am saying I owned two Benelli Trk & TNT 300.

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!!
