I have to say your reviews are the best I have seen and heard. I quite like this bike because of your review. I'm loving your videos my good friend. Stay safe my biker brother
Wow buddy i feel really humbled, I get lots of TH-camrs supporting me with nice comments, but haven't had other motovloggers checking my channel, so your comment just made my day ❤️
@@Bykersam You deserve so much more praise my friend. I'm honoured to now be part of your journey. Take care my biker brother
cheers from Italy, I've bought a trk 502x just this week! I think it's a smart bike for the price/quality and it's true that it's made in China (and btw I don't think this is an issue by itself) but it still has an Italian heart, designed and supervised by italian engineers in Pesaro
It's a beautiful machine for sure 👍👍👍
It's a cheeky request I know, but please do consider subscribing 🙏
@@Bykersam subbed ;)
I've subbed too mate great channel, you're a very wise man very bike savvy
I’ve had 2 BMW adventures with luggage and rode them from England to Mongolia and let me tell you - when they fall over in sand or mud and it takes 2 people to lift them upright. The 502X will be my next bike for sure 😃👍🏻
Hi, I too have dropped my Gs1150 in the Atlas mountains and feel your pain, hope you get to enjoy this bike 👍🙏
@@Bykersam I’m sure I will as I need something more than my Royal Enfield Himalayan 😌👍🏻
Greetings from Malaysia
I have the TRK 251 and it's a great bike,, great value for money,,
Ramadan Kareem,,🤚👍
Assalam Aleikam, yes the trk 251 is a great bike and has enough power to go everywhere, Ramadan Karim Mubarak to you also ❤️
I’m seriously considering this as my first big bike. They have new/ used where I’m doing my DAS. Beautiful, stripped back motorcycle. TRK 502 isn’t massively powerful but it’s raw which I think most people crave given most modern bikes do a lot of the work these days
It's a great first bike, but a little heavy so do try before you buy 👍
Wow,it's so nice to see another beautiful upload! This is great!
Thank you stay blessed
Brilliant review and much gratitude to you for making this video!
I will never get to this part of the world and am glad I was able to see if from the 502 seating position!
I have the non-X version and just completed 5000km of urban/suburban/rural and wilderness throughout the US northeastern states.
Even though it's the road-oriented version, it handled logging roads and some wilderness with ease. I love this bike!! You can see my trip on REVER if interested.
Completely agree that the weight of the bike is deceptive as it feels extremely agile and nimble. It got 58-61mpg for the trip and no mechanical issues at all.
Hope you have more adventures and I will follow!
Namaste
Thank you buddy for your positive words and thank you for also supporting these children charities by watching the TH-cam videos as all TH-cam monies go to support these charities 🙏
what a great review! This bike is growing on me as a nice cheap way to get into the ADV world. Was thinking a used AT, but this new is still cheaper! thanks!
Thank you, good luck with your choice
I've watched one over your other TrK 502 review videos and I appreciate your attention to providing a comprehensive review. I'm considering this bike as an addition to ONE other bike I choose as my 2nd bike option👍🏾. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Hi, I found your videos while browsing for Benelli 502x reviews and really enjoyed them and presentation and editing is great. Your honesty in your bike review was refreshing and makes me think I still may be r interested in a 502X. The Karakoram Highway looks daunting but stunning, looks like an amazing Country. Nothing to do with the bikes but your accent...I keep hearing traces of Welsh, is there a link? I subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Thanks.
Thank you for a most interesting and insightful comment, I studied in Cardiff University for 3 years and have a love and affinity for Wales, well spotted 👍. Check this video for more on the Benelli 502x th-cam.com/video/mHQSYKwCjVY/w-d-xo.html
No matter how great the features of a motorcycle is, the capabilities will still depends on the skills of the rider, my thought. Great review.And if I may say, great riding skills. Keep safe always. Looking forward to more videos you’ll offer. 🥂
🌹
truly adventurous
awesome
enjoyed watching full
Thank you for watching, stay blessed 🙏
At last! A proper review of the TRK 502x as it should be ridden instead of a 20 minute on road review! 👍🏻
Thank you for that vote of confidence 👍👍
Great video MIA I love my TRK . Beautiful area of your video. Keep them coming bro. Stay safe and upright. BENELLI TOM TRK 🤘😎🇬🇧
Thank you buddy, that encouragement was received with heartfelt thanks 👍
A great review of your Benelli TRK 502x and I certainly enjoyed your ride to the end and gave you a well deserved thumbs up. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Thank you for watching Dave, are you into motorbikes?
@@Bykersam Not that much but I enjoy the views from you rides.
Great sharing...
Maza aya video ko boht enjoy Kia...
Keep sharing
Thank you 🙏🙏
hello my friend. very beuatiful video thank you for sharing 😍😍😍
Fantastic review! This bike has definitely got my attention, especially the TRK 800 that got revealed at motorcycle show in Milan, Italy recently.
It is a great bike at 500cc the TRK800 has many more competitors so we will see how it does 👍👍👍
@@Bykersam If Benelli TRK 800 presents itself as a cheaper version than a competition, I would go for it. It is absolutely a gorgeous motorcycle! Only problem is, I hope it would be available for the US market.
@@Farmaci86 that's fair, cost is key most situations
Very interesting perspective on this. Very practical. How's the build quality and how has it coped with the roads? Anything come loose or break or crack? Any finishes suffering from the stone chips etc? That's kind of what I was expecting to hear regarding an honest review.
What sort of alternatives would you look at which were perhaps lighter? I do have my eyes on getting a Honda CRF250...
Build quality is great, the bike is as durable as any of its Japanese competitors, nothing untoward to report as it was a short 2,000 km run, looked as new once washed. Boxes make it really wide which is something you need to factor in when overtaking and siphoning.
I have a few lighter bikes too, so I fully understand the appeal of a CRF250, but I would not see it as an alternative, both do different things if used properly, however if the choice is one or the other then the CRF is a great alternative 👍
I have a Brutal review which maybe more what you are looking for th-cam.com/video/mHQSYKwCjVY/w-d-xo.html
I have had many bikes in the last 5 years. triumph. honda. yamaha. ive ridden bmw and ducati. and yesterday i took out my friends new benelli trk502. and i can honestly say the build quality is there. and the engine and gear box was lovely. everything was lovely about it. sit at 80mph at 7000revs and the engine was fine. and now i m thinking of getting one. i think us bikers are becoming snobs. and brand fixated. were becoming brane washed. Benelli have built a good quality bike
Well said Matt, I totally agree, I just reviewed a benelli leoncino 500 (same engine as the trk) and I loved it and at the price, they are nearly half the price of there Japanese and German counterpart.
HI from New Zealand. We have amazing roads here to ride to , but you not only have amazing scenery, but also some of the most intense road travelling I think I ve ever seen. You don't know whats around the corner and still ride fast , sometimes here we have sheep wandering around or trucks coming round on sharp corners. Most of You Tube video's I skim thru but I watched your video from beginning to the end. Well done and very enjoyable. I,m very interested in the Benelli TRK or Royal Enfield 650 so you review was great. I actually really like the look off the Benelli but was worried about their reliability. Well not anymore Cheers
Thank you buddy for those kind words 🙏👍❤️
Thanks for the review, what is the real world mpg like? Also idk if you've ridden the cb500x but which one would you prefer?
Unfortunately where I rode the bike for this review you ride on lower gears more often than not, so mileage per gallon or economy is not easily measured but I felt I got close to 70mgp, in terms of a comparison with cb500x, I would say the trk 502x is a far more capable adventure bike than the cb500x, however the cb500x is a more smoother machine.
Beautiful bike and zabardast review MashaAllah 🥰🌹🌹
13:38 good 👍 mein bhi samjha half price 🤔 you clear it for me 😋😋 Thanks You
I already own a Benelli Leoncino Trail, and I love it dearly. I've been riding for 26 years and the little 500 is my favorite bike so far. BUT, I'm in the market for a touring bike. Are they different enough that I can enjoy both, or are they so similar that perhaps I should look for an alternative adventure/touring bike?
Very very different, I own both, even though its the same engine the ride and performance feel altogether different
wow that's awesome excellent video dangerous roads take care big thumbs up thanks for sharing stay blessed with good health and great happiness/safety take care to have a nice day
A heart felt comment brother 🙏🙏🙏👍
اللہ تعالی سلامت اور کامیابی عطا فرمائے آمیں ثمامین خوش رہیں ماشاءاللہ 🌹❤🕋🤲🌹
Beautiful video
Love seeing this bike in action on other roads! Thankyou for the time you took to do this. I am buying one in a couple of days😃
Good luck and I pray you stay safe on two wheels 🙏🏼
Wow Nice...I love Benelli TRK 502 Dream bike also
Yes a very good bike
Amazing ❤️
MASHALLAH bike buht pyara hai.
Thank you behtey
Thanks for sharing. Great vid.
Thank you
Sure its a big machine with smaller engine, and that is why I wanted your words on it! Thanks for valued review, now understood this bike well. 👍
My pleasure and thank you for watching 🙏
Good review and you have well defined the bike in terms of its weight, size and suitability for the rider. Thanks for sharing.
Waiting
Thank you for the honest review!🤩
Thank you dear and thank you for also supporting these children charities by watching the TH-cam videos as all TH-cam monies go to support these charities 🙏
Fantastic ride!!! 🌟⭐️✨
Enjoyed this lovely review video and many wonderful uploads here 💚💛💕
Eric here to say Hi 💖❤💜
Have a beautiful day 🌺 All the best 🌈🌈
Thank you Eric for your most encouraging response, stay blessed 👍
Gotta say - your two reviews on the 502x have been by a country mile the most useful I've come across so far! Where do you get yours serviced? Also, do you happen to know of anywhere in Islamabad (preferably but Pindi will do as well) where you can get decent gear - i.e. helmets, boots, gloves, jackets? Thanks!
Hello, I service my bikes myself or use a mechanic on High court Road called Waseem. Good gear at a reasonable price would come from a place called yamaha central I believe, Google it, it should be in g8 or g10.
@@Bykersam Cheers for that. I think I may have been in there the other day - I think it's also called Capital Motors if it's the place in G10 I'm thinking of (very near Islamabad High Court).
❤️Thanks for sharing. Keep safe always👍👍
Thank you friend 🙏❤️🙏
End pe bohttt dangerous road thi 😯😯 Be Safe Uncle G ❤️ Stay Blessed 👍 May Allah Protect you Always ❤️ Ameeen
Thank you behtey ❤️
Saw your beautiful ride in white and loved it so much that I got myself a white one too ❤
Now that's the spirit of brotherhood 😉👍
Great Uncle
Thanks for the review.
Thank you for watching 🙏
I like the video...👌🏾❤️👍🏾
Danevad bhai 🙏
Good stuff, all relevant points for the western customer who really does not have much chance to experience a different perspective. Thanks a lot for your input.
Thank you Peter, I didn't look at it that way, but you are absolutely right, and thanks for the encouragement 🙏👍
Best Review So far.
Thank you
What a beautiful vedio
Mashallah Very Nice Sharing Dear ❤️👌🏻
Thank you veer ❤️
Would it be OK for motorway riding. Also do you think the engine would last the same as the Honda cb 500x.
A cb500x has a beautiful Honda engine but the refinery of the trk 502x is far better as its not just the engine, but its entire looks, as for motorways, it sits comfortably at 70 to 80mph but I would be hesitant to push it over 90 mph as its a heavy bike for a 500cc, it's presence competes with the big GS's but with a 20 litre tank and a fuel efficienct engine, I think it will go further and at a decent/happy pace, if I had the choice of this or a cb500x, this would win, by the way I do own a nc750x and a cb1300f, so I don't discount the cb500x lightly 👍, I hope that helps buddy 🙏
@@Bykersam yes thanks that's helped a lot.
It must feel so good to travel on a motorcycle.
It's a life changing experience 👍
Loved every aspect of it, very informative
Thank you
Great sharing.
Thank you
Mashallah mashallah g beautiful 🚴♂️👌

Thank you
Nice video thanks for sharing stay connected
Thank you
Assalam u alikum it was a nice journey with you to karakarum high way, beautiful scenes, the moment you said baad wich was so real that you didn't cut it or edit it, this thing make you special, you are such a pure soul mashaAllah, i can never ever be at karakarum but i still enjoyed it with you with out any hardship which you do to entertain all of us, in the last the sentence and this is the scene from my back was entertaining 😋 but i was thinking who captured it from your back 🙄, stay safe stay healthy see you soon with another fantastic video inshaAllah 🌹🌹
Waleikam Assalam behti
There was a brother I met and he recorded me without my knowledge but he was happy to share it so I added it because its a little different 👍
very well done sir jee .
Jazak-Allah
Looks entirely suitable for the conditions, I don't think that I would want to ride a more powerful bike on those roads. Nice to get an impression of what Pakistan countryside looks like as well!
Thank you for your watching, yes you are right 500cc here is more than enough 👍
Looks like NZ, stunning
NZ is so beautiful ❤️
Well well ... This looks very goood ...
Thank you veer 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing rewiev! I wonder about what you said about the weight - are tou aware of any similar bike, which weight isn't as elevated? :)
The TRK502 is lower, I have one. The weight disappears as soon as you are moving, it can be ridden at walking pace quite happily. My only gripe after 230 miles is the front brake. Either the pads are taking forever to bed in, or they are not good pads. It's that last 5mph that gets me every time, they feel grabby, so you don't glide to halt, they grab, the bike stops and you have to get your feet down very quickly. Other than that, I have absolutely no regrets about buying it, it really is the perfect bike, unbeatable spec, most of which is never publicised.
The weight is only a problem in stationary position, infact the weight on the road makes this bike more grounded and stable plus it makes you ride much more carefully which in the long run is a great pursuit. Other Chinese 500cc are available but I think maybe this is better in terms of it's quality. If you want much lighter and a non adventure bike then the TRK 502 is better or even the cb500x but the 502x feels a lot of bike for the money 👍
Thank you for your great comment, I too have found the breaks a little slow in responding
Nice video
Thank you
Good review.
Thank you buddy if only you knew how much that means to me ❤️
I am from India, Good review brother. I am planning to buy a 502x. Thanks for the honest review.
Thank you and you will thoroughly enjoy the bike 🙏
Mashallah g itna safer krty hain ap ko thakawat nhiii hoti 🌹
Bohat hoti ha behtey, but one life and I don't want regrets of what I could have done 👍
@@Bykersam mashallah g buhat hi khoob 🌹👍
very good
Thank you. Wishing you a very happy new year, full of blessings, success and of course health to you and all your loved ones 🙏
Cbx and trk is in the same price in Greece. What do you prefer from those 2?
I think for quality a Honda but for looks and fun definitely the Benelli 👍👍👍
@@Bykersam thanks for the reply. Last question. Can trk be your bike for every day use (coffee to the center of your town,go to your job,trips,mountains etc)
@@VTsav its a heavy bike so it can be but better for long cruising, if the panniers are removed it becomes more manageable so a yes

Now I am thinking if seat change and suspension adjustment can make a difference of 8cm (from 840mm to 780mm) then maybe I can give it a shot. I can handle 800mm hight very easily. Your suggestion?
Assalam Aleikam brother, the 50mm on the suspension reduces the movement on the swing arm but I think if you don't overload the bike with luggage and a pillion and a heavy mass in yourself I don't think it will cause an issue, so it's definitely doable, though more research is required on how that 50mm reduction in height is achieved

I just discovered your channel
Thank you for watching
Tyre is good for offroading ?
Yes it is
19:10 salute to all drivers 👍❤️🤲🏻
🙏👍👌
Nice masha ALLAHA
Thank you
45 lk nice 👍
Stay continue 🙏
Stay blessed
Indeed a very good review. How about the after sales service and maintenance? Is it worth the money ?
Thanks in advance
I service my own bikes so for me it's simple and it terms of value for money, there is nothing that comes close, probably because it is Chinese manufacturered and therefore you get a hell of a lot for your money dear brother 😊👍
I don't mind bike riding with you as a passenger 🥰🤣🤣
👍
That's dangerous roads especially when overtaking 😳😳😳😳
Kya karun bechain ho jahta houn lol
Are you doing the tour on your own Ikram?
Enjoying your tour so far.
Stay safe my friend
Yes Alex all bike tours I do on my lonesome, who goes it without Helen?

Amazing review and really refreshing to watch, I have been looking for a review like this for ages. I thought the roads were bad where I live hahaha WOW.
Wow back, thanks for your comment, it's nice to hear such positivity and honestly I feel very humbled 🙏, I have another trk502x review please do check it out if you can
th-cam.com/video/mHQSYKwCjVY/w-d-xo.html
A beautiful touring bike Love from MVYTG, have you still this bike in Pakistan?
Thank you Zain behtey, yes I do 😊
Trk 502x looks not bad at all but power to Wight ratio are not Mach
However if I choose Under 500c I will go with honda CB 350
I'm currently riding and reviewing a Cb500x 👍
Sir. I hope you will bring your Khanjrab Tour vlog as well on #Trk502 on the channel. Nice Review as well Sir. MASHA ALLAH
I will Kashif veer
MCN compared it to the Honda 500 equivalent and the Benelli came out best according to them
I think that would be a fair analysis 👍
😎👍
👍👍👍👍
Very impressive bike and brilliant handling . But my those road conditions are scary I think I'd be dead within a couple of days with drops the other side of the he road. Respect.
Thank you Mike Man58 I know you could do it, but yes it is more risk than most sane people will take, luckily for me I'm an equal dose of stupid and insane 😂😊😉
The funny thing about it is from what I am seeing in the video there's a lot of insane movements going on but a lot of mutual respect from other road users compared to the UK road rage 😡 scenarios. Did you import your bike into Pakistan from UK then return?
