Hi AWAY4K! I've been riding a TRK502 without an X for nearly 5 years now. It's still a first series moto. Even the TRK502 is fun to ride on dirt, gravel roads. Very comfortable vehicle and so far reliable.
This was a fantastic video! I've been looking at the 502x to ride some back country here in Kentucky, USA. This looks like it'll fit the bill nicely, at a stellar price. Could watch riding videos like these all day long, very well done!
Always great to here from fellow Benelli enthusiasts Joshua. Thank you for your positive feedback. I'm currently touring around Asia but am yet to find a TRK here yet
Another great video Michael. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good tyre advice. I've just bought a Lioncino Trail with Metzeler Tourance tyres and am hoping they will be OK for some light (dry) off roading.
Hi Kevin. Should be ok, as long as it's not too muddy, or clay Well...you saw the hill I went up! Gopro doesn't show just how steep and gnarly that hill was. Leoncino trail will be fun for sure 😃
Good showcase of how the big beast handles rough stuff. I've ordered mine and should be able to ride it away next weekend, looking forward to testing out some trails in South East queensland
@@mototouro I'm looking at the tyre options for it, have you have much experience with the Continental TKC70, Dunlop Trailmax Mission or Pirelli Scorpion Trail II?
@@robertowen8919 Have used Pirelli scorpion's in the past and thought they were an excellent product, however there's probably not a lot of difference to the stock Metzler tourance. The Pirelli MT 90 tread pattern looks like a good all round option.
To all you "castle mainers", howdie. I've got the yellow TRK X model, plus the 752s naked and I'm loving em both. My TRK's called Buzz cos it's yellow and my 752s is called Rex cos it reminds me of a terrier. I'm yet to take Buzz orff road.
G'day I'm in Maldon close enough I think I've seen that yellow beast around I've been looking at a TRK for a while I might test ride one from Ballarat soon
Hi there! I have seen a lot of videos about benlli trk 502 - could it be an off-road option? is it as reliable as Suzuki or Yamaha? how do you find it?
Hi Ceva, great question. There is already a full on and off road test on this bike on my channel, take a look at that, or alternatively, I will be uploading a long term test and review on the TRK 502X tomorrow which should answer most of your questions. Short answer however is that it is in my opinion the best value bike of it's type on the market today.
I'm a long way from those pants as I'm living in thailand now, but, pretty sure they are RJs brand from Australia 🇦🇺 Very good quality gear at very good prices.
im an owner of TRK502x from Philippines and i have it for 6months only now it has already gone 18k odometer its an everyday ride to anywhere including my work just a very fun and reliable machine to ride!
@@mototouro yes sir.. i will definitely recommend this machine to anyone who wishes to acquire a least expensive looking beast.. not to mention its weight its really heavy lol
It is good to see the TRK is so capable. I just got mine a couple of months ago after a decade of not riding. My background is sport bikes and JSM so learning to ride a heavy bike on gravel and dirt has been a fun experience but I am loving it. I am glad I went with a lower power ADV to learn on.
That's fantastic kj, the TRK502X really is a great bike for the money, it's definitely the most comfortable touring bike I have ever owned, and it's fun too. A little on the heavy side, but that's really not an issue most of the time. Enjoy, and ride safe 😃 What's JSM btw??
Beautiful part of the country you have to explore... and the Benelli seems like almost.. Almost the perfect bike to do it on. Better tyres, and maybe another 10HP and it would be perfect. But for the Price that these are coming in at. You're going to be hard pressed to find anything else. Now if only Kawasaki offered a 19" front wire spoked wheel on the Versys 650....
@ADISBURZIC your message popped up on my laptop screen while I was editing the next Benelli long term test video. Victoria has some of the best riding country in Australia. Everything from beautiful coastal roads, to vast mountain forests, big rivers, deserts. It's awesome 👌 Enjoy 😃
Hi Brad, Haven't actually done a speedo test, but I suspect it's a touch out. Unfortunately it wasn't out anywhere near enough when the police pulled me over for speeding lol
@@bradmullaerialphotography Probably a good thing it reads just that little bit lower at highway speeds. I wonder whether it gets worse at higher speeds? I have had mine up to an indicated 170kph, (on private property of course), and it certainly felt pretty close from previous experience.

Thanks for the info, Red Nelli. Five years without an issue is good to hear 😃
Good on ya for staying committed to climbing that hill, with proper tires I'd follow you.
cheers mate, from Canada. 🇨🇦
Come on over and give it a go 😃
What do you ride?

Mighty effort and good off-road riding skill. Enjoyed that. Thanks 👍
Thanks Kenstar
Gopro really didn't show how tough it was! My private parts are still recovering 😩 lol
@@mototouro hahaha i sympathise you! 😂

I am jealous, I would love to own one of those! 😍
Great vid Michael, coming into better weather now so happy trails
Thanks Sean, spring is a great time of year for riding and exploring new areas😀

Mate, stand up on the pegs, slightly more aggressive rubber, a bit more momentum & that Benelli will eat hills like that one for breakfast!👍
All good advice there PMG, actually surprised me how torquey the engine is, hardly had to slip the clutch at all.
It had to be done mate

Hi Pete
Thank you for your comments 🙏 😊
It's always great to get constructive feedback.
Que pasada de sitio. Con trk se puede,si señor 🤘✌️✌️

Awesome video! Where'd u say this is, Avoca?
Hi Adis, Yes Avoca. Google 'governor rock lookout tower' Percydale.
That's the general area.
Great riding country and spectacular views 😃
@@mototouro awesome.. I'm struggling to find places to ride. That is on my bucket list now!! Thanks for the quick reply.

Is your Speedo reading 5kms faster then your actually going as well?
Hi Brad,
Haven't actually done a speedo test, but I suspect it's a touch out. Unfortunately it wasn't out anywhere near enough when the police pulled me over for speeding lol
@@mototouro oops. Yeah mines only doing 95 when the Speedo says 100. Stock sprockets.
@@bradmullaerialphotography Probably a good thing it reads just that little bit lower at highway speeds.
I wonder whether it gets worse at higher speeds?
I have had mine up to an indicated 170kph, (on private property of course), and it certainly felt pretty close from previous experience.
@@mototouro yeah unsure. Mines a 2020 thou so might not be the same on new bikes
