The most important factor for a purchase is the pricing and Benelli has got it right. The TRK 502 is priced really well, making it much cheaper than its rivals like the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Honda CB500X.

Cons

Heavy

The TRK 502 is one heavy motorcycle, blame the big components on the bike. While this aspect doesn’t really bother on the highways, it does make a difference while riding in the city, especially while filtering through tight traffic.

Limited sales, service reach

An accessible premium touring motorcycle like Benelli TRK 502 deserves plenty of sales and service touch points. Unfortunately, that’s not the case right now, but we can expect the company to expand its presence in the next few years.
