Good to see you back in the saddle, literally in this case, looks very comfy. However, looks wise, this bike doesn't do it for me. But that's each to their own. For a little over £6k I could get a Kawasaki Vulcan second hand, and here's why I'd prefer a second hand bike. No running in period, already been done. Any newness niggles have been dealt with (hopefully 🤞🏻). Also if I damaged it slightly, a mere scratch even, then it probably won't have been the first time and I'd be less precious over it. There is always snobiness in absolutely anything, from supermarkets to housebuilders, but that's just people needing an excuse to make themselves feel superior over their peers. Keep em coming 👍🏻😎
Great review bro. A 12 months old bike can already show some flaws. The 502C is all about the styling and price. I like the look and the engine seems to be appropriate. The only questions are in the reliability field. Keep the good work bro. Got my full watch and like. It was no. 100. :)
there is a pannier set up for them but I have no idea of the cost of it and can also get a non reflecting screen cover for them to solve the screen problem, have to say I do like the look of these bikes and build quality looks pretty decent considering the price
I bought one a couple of months ago. Screen kept failing, leaving me stranded a few times with no speedo, rev counter, fuel gauge etc. was told it would take around ten weeks to get a new unit. I got my money back and bought something else.
I’ve always liked the look of it, and it’s always struck me as a mini Diavel and I’ve always liked them but could never justify the cost against the use it would get. However the Benelli I think is a sweet budget bike that’s got great power to weight combo with a 21 litre fuel tank with excellent economy of over 60mpg. My only concern would be how much camping kit I could get on one. I did look at one as a possibility but went with a new 850 Guzzi Special instead, that I can use for camping at rallies, music festivals etc. as I’m nearly 70 the weight became an issue with my previous bikes and had to consider downsizing. If I downsize again this is a real possibility.
These are great little bikes. They wouldn’t be my choice for camping either. I would probably look at one of the adventure bikes for that. I like the 702x for that.
Absolutely. These bikes won’t be for everyone. I like them but I understand why others wouldn’t. The screen was a pain but I’m sure there are covers you can put on them to prevent sun glare. Well I hope there are!

Cheers mate. I get what you mean about buying new. You literally notice every new mark on them, but I do love the security of a long warranty.

They are good bikes to be fair. A lot of bike for the money.
Gillybikes rides again. What a guy, great review shagger.
Cheers shag.
Not the bike for me, I do enjoy your reviews and it's nice to see my hometown of Warrington, liked and subbed 👍
I appreciate that. Thanks. 😁
Ur accent mate reminded me of Nassem Ali's accent.. calm tune with confidence. God bless you bro
Cheers mate 👍
I think that screen is just to provide shade for the Instruments so you can read them a little more frequently than you might otherwise.
That is reasonable. I see. Drop by bro, you may like my content. :) Cheers.

The screen is definitely an issue with the bike. They should have put some old school dials on.

Nice review, It is a Marmite bike though, the disappearing speedo is a concern

I’d need a pair of binoculars to see that clock lol
I don’t think they would help when the sun hits that screen you can’t see a thing.
Like your review! But that's a Butt Ugly motorcycles and I like most Benelli's!
😂😂 it’s very different. I think the colour of this one doesn’t help.
Nice Vid .
Thank you. I’m still learning and feel with every new video they are getting better and better. 😁
@@GillyBikes keep trying buddy... I'm ALSO trying how to survive on TH-cam. 🇮🇳🤗👍🏻 Best wishes from India
Thank you and same to you.
Cool looking bike but that screen is shocking
The screen is only a pain in bright sunlight so for 364 days a year it would be fine in the uk 😂
Lol…looks like a mini Diavel. Typical of Chinese.
It really does look like one. Good job they don’t come in red 😂
