Same :). Pity in Ireland they don't come with the boxes. In fact, they were never available here unless we pay extras. But I must say it is very comfortable and safe to hide it.
Hey Brian, I am looking at purchasing a trk for my next bike. I come from a ktm 390 adventure. The trk costs 7500 euros new here, how has your impression been on the bike for the time u bedn riding it?
Go test ride one tristan im well happy with mine i test rode the nx500 and was underwhelmed then test rode the 750 transalp that was a nice bike to ride but after riding the benelli 702x it was just as good as the transalp to me so with saving myself 3 grand and having all the luggage thrown in free and it coming with its own tracker fitted free on the benelli app whats not to like awsome it rides great ive no complaints
Great comparison-thanks !! I own three Benelli MCs, inc two 502x’s (one i keep at winter home). Which one above to I prefer you ask? Well, im a couple inches taller than you, and want a little more power. So i want the 702 engine in the 502 platform 😀 (due to better seat, longer wheelbase, higher seat/screen, possibly better weather protection .
I'm just interested. Nice review! What if you let it drop, how difficult is it to get it up? What bothers me is the windscreen of the 702X is smaller while you expect larger according to hp, like that of the 502. Overall I find the 702X looks more stylish, especially the headlight (main point or turn off for choosing a bike). But I've read the fuel consumption of the 702 is a lot more. So while the fuel tanks are almost the same size the distance you can drive depends a lot. Seems around 1L/25km for the 502 and 1L/20km or less for the 702. So for touring the 502 is better I guess? Means less stops...
Truly intresting comparison of the best low price crossover, what's the difference of the engine in 502 TRK is the crankshaft at 360° a unique feature that provide the great sound and a driving so magnificent. This bike shocked the Italian market in the last three years. not the same for the 702 TRK that is only a great honesty crossover with a normal destiny like so many other bikes. Ciao, Fabio
502x its rocking on road now a days, people's see it as bumble bee character from transformer movie, headlight looks like eyes and huge size makes bike muscular in that price 👍👌✨️🥰
Ο ήχος του 502 είναι πολύ καλύτερος εν κινήσει από το 702 θυμίζει μπόξερ BMW...Σαν πρώην κάτοχος του 502 πολλά παράπονα από την ποιότητα κατασκευής και τις βλάβες... Χαιρετισμούς από Ελλάδα 🇬🇷

I removed the dash and put plenty of Eva foam underneath and removed the tank cover and put tins of Eva foam sled adhesive blocks. All rattle gone. Now it's more enjoyable.
I've got the 702, bloody uncomfortable after about 80 miles, the seat is terrible, have to use an air hawk seat to make it tolerable, why didnt they give the 702 the same comfy seat as the 502 🤦♂️
Think the engine of the 700 is better for pillion riding etc, but looks etc I actually prefer the 502. but tbh looks like you can't go wrong with either.
Mate i tell you this. I test ridden this lady (702) 2 days ago, and i cant get her off my mind! Bike is so beautiful and really punchy and qualitative for the money!!! I am coming from a suzuki bandit GSF 650 2007 so you can imagine how comfy i felt while riding little bennie! It felt like i can ride the whole Europe 😂. I think i will eventually buy this little beast. Greetings from Athens, Greece!
TRK 502 X a nightmare to work on to what I have seen the 702 no Better. My 502 dropped cylinder at 40000km, well looked after. Benelli never again for me.
I bought the Trk502x without a test ride, never looked back, most comfortable bike I've had.
Great. Im planning to buy one.. I’m 6’1”… what do you suggest.. 502 or 502X. ?
@arvindersingh3224 Go for the 502x, you won't be disappointed
@@stephenplatts5318 thanks for the revert mate. My only concern is it's tyres as I believe they aren't tubeless
@arvindersingh3224 no they aren't, but they can be converted as I've been told, so looking into it at some stage.
Another great video, I have owned a TRK502x for over 3 years with 50000km.
Never dropped a beat, great bike
Just bought the 502 x and very happy
That was one of the best bike reviews I have ever seen , keep them coming .
Brilliant video. No one else on TH-cam has done that kind of comparison so far. Keep it up. Subbed!
Ive bought the trk 702x absolutly fantastic bike no regrets perfect
Same :). Pity in Ireland they don't come with the boxes. In fact, they were never available here unless we pay extras. But I must say it is very comfortable and safe to hide it.
Hi. What's the fuel economy like? Thanks.
Its similar to a tiger 800 aroud 55 to 60mpg depending how you ride it

Keep doing what you’re doing, great review. Answered lots of my questions!
I do believe the 502 has a 360 degree crank ( both pistons travelling up and down together ) Makes it sound a little bit like a triple.
I got the BN302R. and yes they are 360 degree 😀
I've got the 702x love it
Great comparison-thanks !! I own three Benelli MCs, inc two 502x’s (one i keep at winter home).

own TRK502 over 7 years and still kicking, proud owner
Thank you sir for this video ...from anther side of the earth middle east ❤
I like the 502 😊👍🏻
Looking forward to your ride impressions Mark. The 702X looks the business. However, all is surpassed with the future 902X🤦♂️

I would liked the 700 engine to the 500 body
il prossimo anno arrivera la 550 trk....61cv....depotenziabile con molte migliorie
Great video, i bought my 702 from Paul at Moonraker, and had taken that 702x demo out for a ride, great bike, loving it so far!
I have the 702x in dune sea
One the first in uk have done 2k on it and love it going on w few longer tours so see how it holds up

You prefer the 502?? I have the 502 and it's absolutely brilliant!!
Can the 702 be better??
I'm Considering the Zontes 703f when it comes to the UK.
@marcoaguiar3226 looking forward to getting my hands on that.
502x its rocking on road now a days, people's see it as bumble bee character from transformer movie, headlight looks like eyes and huge size makes bike muscular in that price 👍👌✨️🥰
Wating for my 702x to be delivered but great vid.

I have a 702x, it's a tractor and buzzes around the TFT somewhere... At 2000revs, driving me nuts!! Great handling though 👍
My 702 does too, it's around 3000rpm on mine
Interesting to hear

Hello, do you recommend the 702x? I'm thinking of buying a new one. Do you still have the engine? How many kilometers are there?
@MotoRoomm yep they're good enough, agricultural, terrible chain noises but ok
I've got the 702, bloody uncomfortable after about 80 miles, the seat is terrible, have to use an air hawk seat to make it tolerable, why didnt they give the 702 the same comfy seat as the 502 🤦♂️
I agree, i have the 502 and smashed out an easy 300 miles in one sitting! My arse?? Absolutely fine, could easily go again! 👍😂
They have tried to make it lower by reducing the seat cushioning.
Nice video
just 502x, better sound and soft rumble for my hearing hehe
Think the engine of the 700 is better for pillion riding etc, but looks etc I actually prefer the 502. but tbh looks like you can't go wrong with either.
Honestly I prefer the looks of 502 and its road presence feeling.
Of the two I like the 702 but I'd rather x-cape on something else. 😁😁😁
If 'very 'is an unquantifiable amount, why does it need to be repeated 6 times?
To hammer the point home for the layperson.
702 all day and not just because of the bigger engine. Looks much better.
702 looks better from the rear and i prefer the dash of the 702
Mate i tell you this. I test ridden this lady (702) 2 days ago, and i cant get her off my mind! Bike is so beautiful and really punchy and qualitative for the money!!!

That seems perhaps a one-off. I haven't heard of that issue before
Probably just a spark plug 😂
the 502 swingarm is steel. Only the 702 is alloy.
