    Nice looking bike. The owner is right if you look after them there is nothing wrong with them. As you know we now have two Chinese bikes in the family now. There's not a single rust mark on my Michigan.

    A great review, I have one and it doesn't vibrate, but most are unaware that benelli bikes need an infrequent check in terms of tightening nuts and bolts.

      Regular servicing and checking is definitely a must 🤘

      @@TheRhythmicBiker the Benelli bikes are cool in design and what most don't know is that the Benelli bikes sold in Europe have to go through a second QC check in Italy as they want me no drop in goodwill and image on Europe as opposed to Asia where it is very popular

      @@Bykersam I know Benelli bikes sell very well in Asia, they are affordable means of getting around, in the UK it’s rare to see a Benelli but they’re definitely growing in popularity amongst the smaller cc riders 🤘

    Great video, love the look of the 502c, an obvious copy of the diavel, but why not, the diesel is a stunning bike.
    Yes the A2 choice now is phenomenal 👍
    Good timing that you tested a Benelli 🤫

    Good work RB. The 502c is one of those bikes which has taken years to take off and get the respect of the cruiser crowd. I tried it back in 2019 and it got a bit of hate, but Bennelli have proved them selfs to be not perfect but quite solid and reliable bikes... No doubt they are hacking into the Diavel market though....They keep on copying different bikes and infact sometimes make them even better and compensate for the flaws on the original bikes from my findings.
    Cheers

      I definitely agree, the 502c definitely isn’t perfect, and there are improvements that could be made, but for what it is and for how much it cost I was massively impressed with the little cruiser, it would make a great learning A2 bike for any rider before going up to their A licence🤘

    Interesting to hear your opinion of the Benelli, Rhythmic.
    Many decades ago when Benelli was 100% Italian they turned out some classy machines like the 6 cylinder SEI's. Now, as you say, they are Chinese owned!

    • @TheRhythmicBiker
      @TheRhythmicBiker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The fact that the A2 bikes can easily do the National speed limits , does make me wonder if there’s really much need to pass the full A license , thoughts ? Saw the 502c for the first time last Saturday and it’s quite an eye catching bike.

    • @TheRhythmicBiker
      @TheRhythmicBiker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In many ways yeah you’re right, it’s hard to make an argument for the A licence unless you’re doing insanely long tours on a motorcycle, only then could I really justify having a 1000cc+ motorcycle nowadays.
      They are really eye catching to be fair, and I thought the build quality was more than acceptable considering the price 🤘

    Not keen on bar ends TRB but she sounds pretty good to me , a bike is a bike Chinese Indian or whatever different makes have different qualities and are aimed at different pockets thank goodness , we ain't all millionaires at the end of the day .Benelli as a brand years ago used to put out bikes with very similar looking engines to Honda back in the day , but hey imitation is the best form of flattery . Everything is a copy of something else to some degree 😉looking forward to the up coming Wolf tales .👌👍

    I think Benelli look cool and theyre affordable. But for me, and I don't care where they're made, the long term build quality isn't there. Interesting about the vibration. They usually look better than a Honda and a Honda costs more but a Honda will still keep going until there's a nuclear war. Will this?

    • @TheRhythmicBiker
      @TheRhythmicBiker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’re spot on about the Honda Rebel 500, all Honda’s are pretty much bulletproof, but I find the Benelli very interesting, the way it rides, it’s looks etc, it’s a very capable choice for anyone looking for a mid-weight power cruiser 💪

      You’re spot on, they all do appear to lose a lot of their value on the 2nd hand market, however I suppose that’s nice for those learners who are looking for a bargain who perhaps can’t afford a new one 🤘
