    Absolutely great bike.. I picked my brand new trk 702x up 2weeks ago today.. done just under 600 miles in the 2 weeks, with a 400 mile trip to Scotland and back in the day.
    A massive improvement on my trk502x what I part exchanged, The only thing I feel could be better is the screen, I’m 6’3” and get a good bit of wind blast in my face, larger screen already ordered online off Ali express 😎👌
    I would highly recommend these bikes 👍

      @@zoltanszeder1813 nothing through the handlebars or seat to note.. a light buzz through the pegs when she’s revving on the motorway from about 7k-7.5k RPM.
      My Trk 502X was the same until after a couple of thousand miles breaking in the engine and changing the oil out from the break in oil what comes in the bike from the factory, if the 702x is anything like my 502x it’ll just get smoother and better the more miles I do. 👍

    that bike seems to me to be the perfect all round bike, looks like a brilliant tourer and a far better and more useful machine than the huge adventure bikes so many have now, when I started riding those huge things didn't exist and a touring bike was whatever you had, far more fun than a bemouth of a bike

    i recently brought a trk702x and its a fantastic bike, 70bhp is fantastic and able to get out of trouble super easy
    but and a BIG but, a full tank does me 130 miles MAX, (cavate) i use it how its sold with all the top boxes and panniers, what's point buying a adventure bike and taking all the boxes off. that's main reason someone buys 1, but do love the bike
    and considering all this comes as standard, and ONLY £7000 most named brands your looking at £25k or worse for the same thing

    Mark,looks as though you really enjoyed the bike and review! Strange question… does that rear silencer get overly hot? Could you put some throw overs on it for touring? I ask as I don’t want or like hard panniers. Also why no centre stand, is it an option if so how much?

    Good review I loved my previous 502 but as you said they are "busy" above 65. Got a new 702 last week and have mixed feelings low speed in top gear it hunts and as I do a lot of riding in built up areas and I really don't expect to be in 3rd or 4th at 30mph. Still love the handling and comfort of these models ( will definitely get the bigger screen) and the extra power is most welcome but not sure about the harshness of the 180 motor with firm acceleration feels like an old school big single with too much advance!!!. I guess I'll get used to it.

    • @jbrian8618
      @jbrian8618 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those mixed feelings have gelled to a certain dislike.
      The motor is totally intractable below 3000-3500rm so I end up riding round town (the local council lunatics have put 20MPH in place) in in 2nd or 3rd gear and still need to "feather" the throttle to avoid the harshness of the motor.
      Any large throttle opening with the motor below 3000 rpm judders and makes the mirrors bounce.
      My local dealer (who has always been very helpful) has told me that this motor is like the 800 and needs ~4000miles to bed in.
      I sure don't want to do 4000 miles like this.
      It's such a shame because I like the riding position and feel of the machine but the engine feels like badly out of tune V twin or a concrete mixer. 😞

    Hi Mark, love your channel. ❤
    I have a question. I took a test ride on one of these last week and was quite impressed. I noticed the VIN number began ZBNPA, which would mean made in Italy, although reports are saying these engines are made in China. Don't suppose you had a peek at the VIN on that one or still have the hire/rental agreement (on which the VIN would appear) to compare. Asking just out of curiosity. Thanks 👍

      @@markpulling12 Thanks. I've just done a bit of research and apparently there is such a thing as WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier), which is the first (generally) three digits of the VIN. Benelli's WMI is ZBN. This just means it is a Benelli vehicle but doesn't necessarily mean it was made in Italy.

    Hi Mark which do you prefer out of the CF Moto 800 MT and TRK 702

    • @markpulling12
      @markpulling12  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi the CF Moto is a great bike lots of power and tech but it's price is getting near or is tracer 9 ...v Strom 800 etc territory....so for me I'd go for the better value middle size benelli...tbh at 60 /70!,,mph it rides just as well and is just as comfortable....I think the trk 700 is a great bike cheers mark

    It's a nice review but the problem with these cheap China bikes is build quality. They've cut corners like traction control, but what corners were cut building the engine? Will it start smoking after 10k miles? Will the bolts show rust after a year? I think I'll take a young secondhand Triumph Tiger for now.

    • @markpulling12
      @markpulling12  ปีที่แล้ว

      I get your point... but many trk 502 s are running perfectly after 30000 miles plus ...they are improving all the time best regards mark

    • @chrishart8548

      Could just get a second hand kawasaki verseys it's basically the same bike. It's the lack of dealer back up for parts is the real issue

    • @mrthomas394
      @mrthomas394 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I glanced upon a 2 year old 502 and it looked 10 years old... probably a commuter bike so out in all weathers' but it looked really shabby with furred up fasteners' flakey paint on the frame' swingarm and other areas...... look great new but definitely not up to our climate

      ​@@mrthomas394 new jap bikes aren't much better. I've had 2 new yamaha and a new suzuki over the last few years and thy all showed signs of corrosion and rusty bolts after a year. The seat lock on my my mt 10 seized up within a year, so couldn't remove the seats. Most manufacturers seem to be putting cheap components on their bikes these days.

    Hello ,
    I tested the 702x and I loved it. I'm hesitating between the standard 702 and the x version. Which one did you like the most? big difference in handling? Thank you and very good video

    • @markpulling12
      @markpulling12  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi nicco ... handling felt the same on both ...I preferred the higher up position on the X model ...id go for the x model if it was for me
      Best wishes mark

    Mark, would you have the 702 over the 502?

    • @markpulling12
      @markpulling12  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi I'm sat on the 702 writing this comment...yes definitely because it's got better cruising ability...lower revs less vibes at 70mph

  • @marjannesevski6753
    @marjannesevski6753 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can this bike easily cruise with 150 kmh or 93 mph, or the best cruising speed is 70 mph as in the video ?

    • @markpulling12
      @markpulling12  ปีที่แล้ว

      This bike is capable of 90 mph cruising...with 70 hp ...it will do that no problem .... best wishes mark

  • @aks13v35
    @aks13v35 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think there is nothing that could Best this bike in price. The closest one that is actually better is the Transalp 2023, but its much more expensive, around 3K euro more in my country..
    The Trk702 could definatly be my upgrade in 2-3 years when they go second hand for even cheaper.
    I am currently with Aprilia Pegaso Trail 2008.
    Also I am around your hight, so the 702x would be too tall for me. The Aprilia is the maximum seat hight 820mm for a 1.70m

  • @alexmorgan3435
    @alexmorgan3435 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks to be a hidden gem this bike. Agree with you Mark that it looks really good in this green colour scheme. Illuminated switch gear as well and great lights. They seem to have ticked all the important boxes. Being a cable throttle it sadly won't have cruise control, but still, it seems fantastic vfm. Good tyres Pirelli Angel GTs as well which is rare on a more budget focussed bike. It will be taking on all sorts of other bikes at this price point. However I have no idea where my nearest Benelli dealer is or if their dealer network is any good?

    • @markpulling12
      @markpulling12  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Alex ...yes these are proving to be very popular they have sold well cheers mark

  • @volt8684
    @volt8684 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don’t know why but don’t like the looks, the colour scheme of the massive beak and especially the dash. Cant someone make twin clock tft. I know I am looking thru your camera but the finish looks poor ie the bolts etc. I am envious that you get to try different bikes. I can see in a few years if the pricing is still competitive you will see a lot more on the roads. That is a big if though as they seem to be creeping up very fast. Great in depth review buddy as always. Also enjoy your e bike ones too

  • @chrishart8548

  • @clivecartey
    @clivecartey ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry, for 7 months no reviews of anything under 300 cc** - and, no, I do not count bicycles. Actually, there were only a couple of 300/350 reviews within that 7 month period, the rest being 'big bikes'. Of the latter, I would like to see the national sales for each individual 'big bike' that you have reviewed .......hardly worth it in the case of some of them. (** according to the list of 'Videos' given on here).

  • @allanhughes7859
    @allanhughes7859 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This would have been a 100% review if you compared it directly to the 502 which most of us have or the x that is. Then we would be able to say yep that's a much better bike or lets say not worth the hassle bike ?? It would even have helped those thinking of a 502 which I have and love after owning a 1200 gs pile of over rated crap yes over rated crap. Sorry to all 1200 gs owners but you if you are honest you will get where I am coming from. Its not just the bike but the company who do not give a shit once the bike is out of warranty. All they want is for you to but another pile of crap but new. so that they can charge over £120 per hour servicing the pile of crap and make parts that expensive you just need to get rid as fast as possible.. these bikes are fantastic value for money and if the truth were known are every bit as good as the German piles of shit !!!!!!!!!!!!! Rant over !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
