    Have this bike for over 2 years now, bought it second hand. The bike is 4 years old already and has no issues at all, everything looks pristine.

    Hi. Great video. Have tried various jackets from SBS (Oxford, Weise and RST) but can't yet find anything that's suitable. Re sizing I'm about 44" chest and although I usually opt for an XL, would you suggest a 2Xl for this make and model ? I also found Oxford jackets far too long in the arm so do you have any measurements (armpit to cuff) for the 2XL size ? Thanks in anticipation. Regards. John

      @@JohnHyman-e7l Hi thanks for checking out the channel. The jackets are a sort of stretchy form fitting materials. Id advise going up a size from your normal size. They aren't too bad around the chest but can be tight around the stomach. If you buy from Gerbing directly, there customer service is excellent. I bought mine from their stall at the NEC bike show, and when I phoned a few days later to exchange it for a larger size I had no problems, they were very helpful. I wouldn't imagine arm length being a problem, the arms are a generous length and as I say, stretchy. I've now got the trousers and gloves and everything is still working perfectly. Definitely a quality product. I hope this helps. Ride safe 👍

    It’s the western governments (US&UK) tell the public that Chinese goods are poor, but that’s their biggest trading partner in made equipment…. China will make are you anything subject to cost / quality, so at the end of the day they’re not going to invest in an Italian brand and spend a $BN on R&D, Factory, machines just to make rubbish.. The 702 version is a Kawasaki derived engine ER6 so you know it’s reliable… BMWs are made of multiple suppliers, engines are made in the UK (1200/1300) parts are Chinese and Eastern European, the smaller GS’s engines are made in India..

    That groundsheet isn't for the garage area, it's to go under the main tent area to protect it from sharp stones and hard ground. If you don't use it there, in time you will wear out the base of your tent and then it will not be water proof. If you use the ground sheet correctly then once that wears thin you replace just the groundsheet. If you really want a groundsheet for the garage area then you can buy them separately although they are expensive for what they are.

      Hi thanks for checking out the channel. They are both excellent bikes. Take into consideration what the differences are between the two and then make a decision on what is most important to you. A few of the differences are, parts availability, power/speed, ride height, seating position, and the way the bikes handle, manoverability pushing the bike around, fuel range and economy. I'm sure there are other things too. I always recommend test riding any bike you are considering. At the end of the day it will be your personal preference. We are all different and require and enjoy different things from the bikes we ride. Me personally having both bikes in the garage, I always prefer the Benelli to my Honda. Ride safe 👍

      Hi, oil should be Oil 10W - 50 (synthetic) Jaso - MACCMC g4 3. 21 ltrs for the TRK. The 10W number indicates the viscosity of the oil when the engine is cold and the 50W when the engine is hot. The oil you mention has a lower viscosity. The lower number is important for when you first start the engine from cold, and the higher number for when the engine is running hot. If the oil becomes to thin at running temperature, it is less effective at lubricating your engine.

I started to watch millions reviews and 99% of them were praising the motorbike. So, i made up my mind and orderd a TRK 702x after visitint a shop here in Ireland. Regarding the fact is Chinese, what is not nowadays? Most of these companies, if not all, have the parts made in China and assembled in their country. I don't see much difference from Benelli.

    Thank you for the honest review. I am looking at a trk702x. Currently riding a bmw r1100rt wich is very reliable to me. But getting older and not liking the knee angle anymore I am looking at a adventure tourer. A GS would be nice but they are über expensive and those engines of the F GS bikes are also made in China. The Benelli is affordable and in these expensive times reasonable and wise to choose. Your review helps me to get trust in the brand. And you are right. No matter wich brand of motorcycle you ride. Ride through salt and anything will rust. I did ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and liked that bike a lot and it is a for its displacement a quick bike.

      Hi, thanks for checking out the review. I think at the time, a lot of the accessories shown were not available from Benelli, however yes its a good idea to compare where possible. Ride safe 👍

    I have a TRK 502 and would like to reduce the rpm's. I mainly drive urban. Someone suggested changing to 14/44 on the non X version as with the 15/42 on the non X version, you will really struggle to get under away. The 15/42 is only suitable on the X version IF you don't load your bike up with a fully set of panniers, top box and a pillion. Which sprockets would you recommend? Thanks

    Is the TRK 502 reliable and are parts easily available? Would you recommend the X version? And which sprocket would you recommend on the 502 and 502X for urban riding and occasionally highway riding? Thanks

      Thanks for checking out the review. My bike has been very reliable. Parts are not as easily available as the big name brands where you can just walk into a dealership and get them off the shelf, however a quick search on ebay or the Internet will usually get you what you need. As I have only ever owned an x version I can only comment with accuracy for that model regarding the sprocket. I would definitely upgrade the front sprocket to 15T. I have test ridden the none x version, and it is geared differently to the x as standard, so I can't really comment on what would be best for that bike. If you take a look on my channel, I have an in-depth review titled TRK the truth where I cover all questions in detail. I also have a video where I change out the front sprocket to 15T and show the real world difference in the revs and performance. Ride safe 👍

    Having reviewed all the Benellis and the CF Moto and Voges on my channel I’ve come across my fair share of “Chinese shit” comments so it’s great to see a long term assessment like this which destroys those urban myths….many thanks…subscribed 👍🏻

      Thank you mate. I'll take a look at your channel. I think in the coming years, a lot of people are going to be eating their words, just like when the Japanese bikes first entered the market. Ride safe 👍

    Really enjoyed the review. Thankyou! I am probably more focused on riding the street to get to offroad so a dual sport probably fits me best, but I much prefer the look of yours and it is great to get a detailed review to give me the confidence that I don't need to get a big engine bike to get great looks and something a bit easier to handle and a crazy good price. Thank you, again.

    Well maybe you can be help me out. After reviewing the vast number of videos out there on the bike, I started to look at what was in my market -Finland. What I found was very interesting. Firstly and quite shockingly, a lot of second hand TRK are sold within the first 1-4 yrs of ownership with a max of 10-12,000 km on the clock. The question is why??? Is there a problem that no one is willing to say about this bike once it hits 10,000km? Just want to know as it worries me.

      Hi, thanks for checking out the channel. I haven't heard of any kind of problems at that mileage point or any other mileage point to be fair. The majority of feedback I hear for the TRK is very positive, especially when it comes to reliability. The only thing I think of is maybe it has to do with being a mid range bike. A lot of people have the TRK as a first bike or even a first adventure bike as they are well priced and not overly powerful. I think a lot of people move on to the bigger bikes like BMW GS or Triumph tigres. Another thing to consider is price depreciation. Unfortunately, the Benelli brand doesn't hold its value well in the second-hand market, so it may just be people selling at that point due to this. I hope this helps. Ride safe 👍

    A very in depth review. I am planning to purchase 702X however I do not if it is right for a rider whose height is 5ft7?

      Thanks for checking out the channel. I've not ridden the 702 yet, so I can't really say. However, as with any bike, you really should test ride it first. Ride safe, and if you make a purchase, let me know how you go on. 👍

    Can anyone tell me about spares availability for Chinese bikes? I anecdotely know of a horror story regarding unavailability of some spares. It's holding me back from buying a mid weight Chinese adv bike.... though I admit their bikes look amazing value.

      Hi, thanks for checking out the channel. To be honest, it is a bit hit and miss with availability in the UK. However, as the TRK is such a massive seller in Europe, parts are usually readily available there. So it isn't so much a problem of not being able to get the parts, it's just you may have to wait a little longer for delivery. To be honest I haven't really had any real problems up to yet. I mainly use ebay or a generic Web search to get parts. MOTO GB are dismal. Ride safe 👍
