This is our review of the fun and playful Benelli Leoncino 500. The Leoncino was a real pleasure to ride, a light, agile motorcycle that although is A2 licence compliant is not just for new riders, and all of this for under €6,000, definitely worth a test ride.
Check out this review to find out more about what we thought.

3 years after and i love this motorcycle!
I have the trail version, Ive owned it for about 6 months now. Its been great so far, really fun to ride. No problems so far and Ive done arround 6000km on and offroad. Sounds even better with the full arrow exhaust.
Hey Hams, year ago you had no problem with it, is it still a good bike? :) Im really thinking about getting one.
@@kriistojarzembini61 Hey mate, still own it. Still a great bike. Done about 11,000km now, no issues at all.
@@whatyabloodyonabout Thank you for reply. I've asked so many questions online already, I think that im convinced :D
@@kriistojarzembini61 think I’ll be looking for one as well... the trail version.
Hi there Hams, could you please give your opinion on the fuel consumption? The Leoncino 500 is pretty much first on my list of bikes at the moment, but I've been reading that the fuel consumption is quite bad.. What's your experience so far? Thanks a lot
One of the best reviews i have seen. Hello from india🇮🇳
Thanks man, much appreciated!
Im used now very smooth and i love it from malaysia 🇲🇾
Hey, I really liked this review. It was short and simple but gave us the basic information we need. Just try to include some more details about the bikes headlight visibility during night rides, how the seating position is, are there any vibrations, and give it's advantages and disadvantages when compared to bikes within the same price range.
Special thanks for letting us hear the exhaust. The shots were beautiful too.
Good luck😇
Thank you and thanks for the feedback, very useful.
best review i saw so far for the leoncino! More reviews sir! ride safe
Nice video, thanks! Just over 18000 kms on my Leoncino 500 and no problems at all. I replaced the tyres with new ones and the chain. I also changed new brake fluids. I love my bike. It's easy, solid and relaxed bike to ride. I like naked sort of scrambler...ish bikes. My longest day trips have been about 650 kms. The sound have changed a little bit. It's even more better now than what it was brand new.
Glad to know plz let me know is it a good choice for longer run? And what's the avg. per Litre of fuel ?
@@shaarodmahanta2473 4,3 litres per 100 km. The bags galore is not very good. I've got Shad SH23 hard side cases but they are quite small. I like to ride long distances on naked bikes. Some people may not want to do so.
I agree with every you said, I love my little lion is so fun to ride on mountain road and very agile on the city.
A well done and enjoyable review. It is hard to beat the price of this motorcycle. Still today. Cheers.
Leoncino owner here since March of last year. Bike is good in terms of power but some issues are there 1) Engine cuts off sometimes when downshifting coming from high RPM or going down hill 2) switches fail sometimes, may be due to moisture going in and rusting the contacts, pressing the buttons again will resolve. WD40 may prevent this in the future. 3) had an instance where the digital display cluster broke, its like when a calculator screen breaks and only portions of the numbers are showing? ganun. good thing is bumalik din, my theory is again moisture kasi i have been riding this thing in the rain of washing it 4) Rust, rust, rust. The frame is mostly steel not an alloy to save cost. and you will notice rust forming in some expose areas soon. There is an area where the rear brake line rubbed against the swingarm and exposing metal and it rusted. Had to sand the part and repaint it to prevent it from rusting further. the rear view mirrors are also rusted and paint starting from the thread are already bubbling up due to rust 5) aluminum corrosion, not sure what type of aluminum they are using but it is certainly low grade. Foot pegs both the rider and the passenger are already showing signs of corrosion same with the brake master cylinder and some aluminum parts. I am concerned about engine parts as it is too aluminum. 6) Chain, the chain rusts very quickly, I am very particular in my maintenance but still could not prevent it. Maybe i just need to replace it with a better one 6) Brake discs rust very quickly too, some of it went to the fork stanchions which i had to clean quickly so the stanchions dont rust.
All in all, if i had to go back in time I would not buy this bike. Good looking for sure and engine is very capable, sadly the parts around it are not up to par with other makers. You will be best served by buying something like the XSR 700 for not a whole lot more money.
Sorry to break in after 1 month with this comment, but do you keep your bike in a garage? All the rust is you described is very uncommon and sounds like you've been keeping the bike out on the open rain.
Modiify these with Ohlins fr and rear shocks, upgrade to brembo brakes and levers... now you can have these compete directly with the other top italian bikes
Nice review sir.. how about the throttle response at low rev? Is it smooth and accurate?
It's quite smooth and accurate. It's got a good amount of low end punch.
Thinking of getting one & fitting Clip-ons to gv it a Cafe Racer look & feel
LOL i think of the same thing!
Do you think it is safe as a first bike?
Yes it is a perfect first bike!!
Unfortunately our local dealer doesn't have a single demo unit, and I would love to put it head to head with the RE Interceptor
Motolyzed both good bikes, similar in a lot of ways, it’s a difficult choice so keep pushing to try the Interceptor
@@OneShotMoto I tried the interceptor, but not the Leoncino
Motolyzed 😬 I hope you get to try it! It’s a lot of fun!
@@OneShotMoto hello, wich one you advise me to buy the Leoncino or the Interseptor? In Morocco the two bikes have almost the same price
@@todxbranko The same here. :) Would love to try the Leoncino. Drop by bro, you may like my content. :) Cheers.
Great Review🤙
Thank you buddy!
just add an aftermarket windscreen and luggage racks and you've built yourself a very fun adventure bike for long distances!!!
Yo nice idea speaking over the sound of the exhaust very smart
How is the seat for pillion? Is it comfortable?
Very comfortable, it’s not built for touring, but around town and days out it’s great.
I like ur review. I watch a lot in my native language and noone told about that parts cheap looks. I didnt saw moto in real. But i still thinks that moto is good for me but i will buy leoncino trial. Becouse it looking bettar and is a little higher and has a more universal tire. Leoncino is good looking have fine sound and have fine engine.
Nice work..
Is this really parallel twin? Or inline twin? It sounds like a 180° inline twin.
Yes, its the same 360° parallel twin that's in the other bikes in the Benelli range like the TRK 502 X
Benelli 502c got the same engine too but with a different fuel injection.
good review mate! can someone tell me the difference with trail version?
Thanks buddy, I haven't tried the Trail yet, but, my thoughts would be if there is any chance you're going to want to ride off-road then go for the trail for the extra versatility, but if not then stick to the standard version.
Trail version got spoke wheels, higher ground clearance, longer travel suspension, 19" front wheel and Pirelli MT tyres for gravel roads.
What's that song played in the intro?
It's called Sensation by Zac Neslon, it's on Artlist.io
What’s the usd price
i think around $6,199
how tall are you?
olubys I’m about 6 feet tall, 183cm
does it have a 270 degree crankshaft ?
No.
360 degree crankshaft
You can get a windscreen from Benelli
How tall are you sir ?
I’m 6 feet so around 183cm 👍
I'm 175 cm and it fits me. I have a good amount of space to move around in the saddle.
I was impressed till you mentioned it's manufactured in China 🇨🇳.
China quality is ok nowadays. No problems. If you prefer italian made bikes try Ducati Icon 803 or Moto Guzzi V7.
Leoncino means lion cub, not little lion.
I'm sorry,it mean little lion
This is not a Benelli, and it definitely is not the continuation of a 100 year old brand. Rebranding is not a continuation of a brand.
Benelli got a new life just like Volvo cars. Both are owned by QJ.
Made in China, owned by a Chinese company. Nothing really Italian about that.
New Benellis are designed in Pesaro Italy.
