Same engine as the 502c, but the 502c is heavier, and cost more, the TDK ( same engine as mentioned) on the other hand has so many bad reviews, because of how the engine has been positioned in the frame, making it poor in cornering.
bought one 1st March and been riding it before lockdown and just restarted now we bikers are allowed out again. I have to say this review is a fair representation of the bike. I haven't been riding long having only recently passed my big bike licence and am pleased with it so far. Smooth and easy to ride to the Norfolk coast and back great cruiser /naked bike/Diavel copy
@@valegrazie4659 I’m well pleased with it for the money, I think the review above have got it spot on. It handles really well, it’s fast enough (for me). My only gripe is the tft in bright sunlight.
I've got a Leoncino 250 as my first bike and love it. 3000km in the first four months, weekends only, and zero problems. One of the bigger ones would be fun.
I'm now an owner from March, great ride only issue under warranty the exhaust baffle went and rattled when the weld inside broke so they replaced at my local dealer under warranty with no drama, The bike was gently put down on the tarmac when I didn't balance myself correctly at a stop line those silly stoppers did exactly what they should and saved damage to the massive fuel tank.
Another excellent review - thanks! The 502C has the look of the Ducati Diavel about it and there's nothing wrong with that - for about a quarter of the price too. True, it's about 1/4 of the bhp of that monster but seriously - where can you really make full use of 150bhp anyway these days in blighty? No, I definitely like the 502C. I don't like the rear end though I'm afraid :( the low level mudguard - come - number plate hanger looks too much like a scooter to me and is crying out to be swapped for a high level tail tidy?
Hello sir, this is also a great video. I have a list of motorcycles that I am considering buying. The list is as follows: Voge 525 acx, benelli 502-c, cfmoto clx-700, benda chinchilla 500, moto morini seiemmezzo, triumph 400x, RE interceptor 650, RE scram 401. When you consider things like engine block, price/performance, quality material, which motorcycle would you prefer to buy. They are all the same price in my country for a couple of months. If you answer, you would help me so much
After trailing and mulling through literally 100's of review vids.. this just nailed it.. That is an accolade and a half considering the level of premium looking techy laden efx vids out there .. Quality guys .. And I love this bike now after watching this and will buy one as I was actually considering the Diavel.. this is fraction of the price and spec I can live with. I was especially impressed by your figure of 8 smoother than a ... hmm smoothie. Does it really handle effortless with no snatch fuelling at low speeds ? Thank you again guys ..
Test ridden it. It is a good bike, but since i have used to riding my gv650. Bought it around the same price here in Malaysia(actually cheaper). I couldn't get around thinking of making it one of my riding bike due to the ride experience i got from it. But I'll give a star for style, ergonomic, and sound. A beautiful bike indeed.
👍👍👍 in my opinion the price is right, beautiful design, quality must be ok and like the fact it's quiet, it's a cruiser to relax not to blow people's ear drums. Agree the handlebars are maybe to wide and forward. The foot pegs are to forward for my taste, other then that looks like a GREAT bike. Thank you for sharing 🇬🇧🇵🇹
Bars are easily interchangeable and cheap. could find any combination of fitments for it. There is also an adapter for the riser available on ebay that brings the bars back more.
....and the price is..... Honda money!! Looks nice though and shows how far the Chinese bikes have come in a short time. I must say it’s nice to see a decent make of tyres on this bike out of the factory. Big thumbs up on that point
lets not just forget that its an Italian company thats existed for nearly a century. along side the ducati which are built in china too this is manufactured with precision german robotics not in a sweat shop next to the iphones.
I just absolutely love you two. The best Motorbike presenters ever!! Another GREAT review! I just love the look of this bike and do you know why? Yes your right, one of my favorite bikes is the Ducati Diavel 1260 S and Benelli 502c looks a BIT like it at less than a third of the cost! But also only a third of the power! You guys helped me to buy a Sinnis Hoodlum - and i have still got it but I am also still trying to pass my bloody test! I have got my Mod 2 tomorrow for the 2nd time!! I will try my best, however, I should of taken my test when I was younger because it is much harder now! One little silly mistake and your have failed, however, I do understand why, but at my age of 54 just makes it even harder to do because I forget things too easily! Keep up the GREAT work and PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for me tomorrow!!
Agree with Malcolm regarding the bars, i felt them to be too far forward and i have a dodgy back, local dealer has a demo which i am tempted to try but for me the leoncino is cheaper and just stunning apart from the silly dash you cannot read in the sun and the non adjustable clutch lever which aggravates my arthritic thumb on test trying to reach it, but these are fixable, think you can buy a sticky clear film thats anti glare that could sort the dash problem out.
As someone who always has a pillion, the seat looks terrible! Also not keen on the two butt plug styled crash bungs, but hey its a cruiser. Those indicators are gonna be a pain when you get rid what looks like a nappy on the back and fit a tail tidy. Apart from that... quite like it.
I love how you do your videos... hahaha the quams and the gigantic plate numbers so funny. Love it. any how, i bought this bike. i love it. Your video help a lot
I recently bought one in Australia, performance is excellent. Annoyingly it has an unusual and strong vibration at 3500 - 4000 rpm range in all gears... Feels like something is not right in the front end??
I like a lot about this bike as well. Rides great, has some nice lines and a tank capacity capable of long rides. The only reasons why I'm not buying it in an instant are the stupid display and the headlamp. The latter is just a matter of taste. I think it's supposed to resemble a skull which might be ok if you have that I'm an intimidating bad boy biker stereotype thing going. Personally I would prefer something friendlier and more minimalistic. Why hasn't anyone designed a headlamp that looks like a smiley and which can blink one eye when you use the turn signal? The display I can't think of any excuses for. Invisible in sunlight and night mode is a nightmare of differently arranged information in blue and white colours which are not even that easy on the eyes at night (night displays should always have red illumination IMO). That thing just has to get back on the drawing board but could probably be fixed with a software update and a screen.
I'm looking at getting one of these but defiantly would get the Double Gun Exhaust put on so much louder. Also need much shorter bar ends as the handle bars are slightly just 1-2 inches too wide
Would this be a good choice as a first real bikes. I used to have a 50 cc when I was 16 but as soon as I turned 17 I brought a car. I turned 19 last week and realized that I can get an A2 license now. Should I get a bigger bike like this and get it restricted or go for a bmw 310r. I’m hoping to get a bike before it’s summer.
502c and 310r are very different bike styles. What about the Zontes X310, that is an amazing bike and cheaper than the 502c. However if you did want to go down the 502c route you would not be disappointed; it is a superb, comfortable ride, smooth, very well built. Not lightning quick, top speed 95 mph but gets there well enough. Feed forward design and long reach bars on a turn but only at slow speeds does that feel a tad awkward. If you are 5ft 10 and above you would find the 502c simple enough; however depending on what style you like, you would be equally as impressed with the Zontes X310 (we have a video of that too)
Motors for the Masses I’m gonna go ahead and buy the benille 502c. I’ve been working hard and saving money for the last 3 years. I’m a car guy but I’ve realized that I love bikes too. I always see bikers around my neighborhood go riding early in the morning and I think it’s time for me to join in and dive into the world of bikes. I’m already fascinated with scrambles, bobbers and cafe racers. Would love to work on a project and learn how to build a cafe racer or a scrambler one day. I can’t help but notice the love and brotherhood in the motorcycle community. Everyone’s been so helpful and people don’t hesitate to give out advice or share information. The online forums and Facebook groups are also very friendly. So thank you for helping out a newbie like me. 😁
Bought a 1997 Gpz500 for £1300, fast, does 65mpg easily, will do 100 mph all day. Servicing is cheap and parts, new and used, are plentiful. Could this Benelli be this good after 24 years??
I know they are very different bikes - tourer vs cruiser, but did you have a preference for either this bike or a bike like the cbr 500r. I'm a newly returned veteren rider (50 yo , off the bike for 10 years). I've always had semi sports orientated bikes. But thinking maybe cruiser is a nice way to return to casual riding... any comments welcome. From OZ
Hi, you are correct, very different rides. If you like the feet semi forward and arms wider feel, it is comfortable. Simple to ride and relaxing. I compare the feel to my Vmax which maybe a 1200 but does not encourage you to ride fast. The CBR is more if you want to be cornering quicker and on the go. What is your preferred seating position or riding style, how do you want to ride on a bike now?
@@motorsforthemasses i have a little mt03 (naked upright). I commute. And i like a weekend dash about. Not insane speeds. But i like to give it a twist with the RIght hand it clear spaces... Im just thinking i should/could try something new... Have you ridden the honda 500 rebel (its the other one id consider )
Hi! i want to by this bike, but i saw in some review that on the speed about 80 km and more (4,5 gear), feels vibration. did you felt something on test ride? i cant try by myself, because in my country i can buy only in preorder. thanks in advance.
A2 bike decisions seem to about looks and price, since the power is very similar, and for my personal tastes, the looks of this bike don't really appeal. I'm sure lots will love it, but the styling leaves me cold. Maybe they should try making a classic styled bike like the RE interceptor or triumph scrambler?
@@jenkah nice bike, but I would ideally prefer something a bit more classic looking, and I don't personally see the Leoncino as a competitor for the RE 650 twins
Comfortable, smooth, not lightning quick; but powerful enough to learn how a bit more power feels....I would say so yes. Sit on one, feel the bar stretch with your feet forward to make sure that is comfortable first.
Rodeded. I also have the same opinion as the guy in black that the handle bar is too far from the driver. Is it adjustable or not? I'm 5.6. Do you think my height will make it difficult for me to operate the bike?
Yeah but will it fit a 6' 2" chap like me? The gentleman In the white T-shirt looked very short (without wishing to be unkind). Anyone tell if it suits a taller person?
I like the stickey outie glove holders , but for my money , i would have prefered a small screen or cowel instead to stop wind buffeting. I mean a nakid cruiser, really. How impractical on a highway. They can keep those crash bar butt plug things. I will just dry my gloves on the handlebars like a normal person.
It looks decent enough apart from that headlight. It's ugly as sin. Nobody can seem to wrap their heads around the idea of making an attractive headlight these days.
Watch out for the new company MMC. a true British bike, 100% british mad, at the price of a cheap Chinese bike. Will come with a 7 year no quibble warranty. Starting off with a 125cc cafe. At around £2399 And a 400cc cafe and race bike. At around £4000 / £4300 for the race.
also, there is another chinese brand which I think is very lovely, BRIXTON, cheap priced, good design and suitable for the people who are not that tall. I am 6.3, but I still want to have one.
Took one for a ride and its not just beautiful and comfortable but it pulls and handles amazingly. With a cat delete and straight pipes it sounds mean! watch this and crank the volume up! th-cam.com/video/Nl6Nx3M0Fig/w-d-xo.html I dont know how they built a twin that sounds like a 3 cylinder rotary engine but there it is lol This would also benefit from a big bore kit which no doubt one will be available within a year or 2.
I think thats what Benelli is doing, in my country for example average income is 15 thousand Us dollars per annual so 40 thousand usd Ducati Xdiavel is not affordable but this model will be sold for 7 thousand. An average person like me would go for Benelli, which i did by the way, well not this model but 4500 usd bn 302.
flat ass butt ugly .. sorry who would want to be seen on that ..why a INLINE TWIN .. total useless design ... a triumph , royal enfield , twin design is better for cooling
I own a 2019 Leoncino for 3 months now, Benelli is doing a great job with their current portfolio. Well done.
Great to hear!
I want the leoncino so bad it looks and sounds amazing! But dont have it in USA! Hope we get this.

also, Rodeded xD
Same here. But I have to ride both first.
Bought the 502c it's got a double barrel body on injection and upgraded engine performance through engine management.
The lack of a belt drive is its only down fall. And maybe 600-800cc model option would be perfect.

The bike looks stunning I love the headlight but I do not like them crash bars they just look like an after thought imo
they are changeable with almost any drop pegs of the same thread size. or just take them off.
In Malaysia it is sold as the Big Devil and as some will know Diavel as in Ducati Diavel means Devil
Lovely bike 👍 Really eye catching. Pity it doesn't have the Lion on the front mudguard though. Can Malcom have a go at doing the intro. ?
I do the intro sometimes.
Great job guys. Been waiting for this one! Roded!!

In China the crash bars come free with the purchase of bike, but not installed. You can ask dealer to put them on for you for free.

small question. Is this as torque-ish as the leoncino? because that 217kg worries me a bit
More torque double barrel on injection and upgraded mapping.
It develops a bit more horsepower and torque due to the upgraded twin barrel injectors and upgraded engine mapping.

It looks decent enough apart from that headlight. It's ugly as sin. Nobody can seem to wrap their heads around the idea of making an attractive headlight these days.
thought i might disagree with you (i even like the new suzuki katana) this thing looks like a bad copy of the ktm headlights
or perhaps you are the only one who doesn't like it. It looks very similar to the Diavel headlight.
the headlights are inspired by the famous painting " The Scream ". it looks grimm
Essa motoca é sensacional. Linda de mais
How tall is men in white t-shirt???
considering an upgrade from my hyosung gv650.
but then again they're looking pretty similar and mine is heavily modified. xD
Love this bike, but where do I put the side bags? It needs to be customized to do so, which means more cost.
Watch out for the new company MMC. a true British bike, 100% british mad, at the price of a cheap Chinese bike. Will come with a 7 year no quibble warranty. Starting off with a 125cc cafe. At around £2399 And a 400cc cafe and race bike. At around £4000 / £4300 for the race.
how about the pillion seat??
Ok for a small arsed person...
Rodeded! 🤘🏻
I will pop a wheelie and that regeneration plates ...
Why all this music at the Start madmess
Does it have abs?
Yes
also, there is another chinese brand which I think is very lovely, BRIXTON, cheap priced, good design and suitable for the people who are not that tall. I am 6.3, but I still want to have one.
oh,i bet Ducati had something to say about the design...and whoever invented the wheel hugger needs a sound thrashing..
Benelli : Our new bike. What's your thoughts about it 😃?
Ducati : Good luck with the legal
Good luck with legal? If it was an issue Ducati would have sued Benelli already.
Ducati gave Benelli permission to use the Diavel as design inspiration for the 502c from what I've read online.
Those crash protectors ruin the bike in my opinion.
I get they are a bit marmite....
Motors for the Masses best explanation for them 😂
Took one for a ride and its not just beautiful and comfortable but it pulls and handles amazingly. With a cat delete and straight pipes it sounds mean! watch this and crank the volume up! th-cam.com/video/Nl6Nx3M0Fig/w-d-xo.html I dont know how they built a twin that sounds like a 3 cylinder rotary engine but there it is lol
This would also benefit from a big bore kit which no doubt one will be available within a year or 2.
Well the up side is that it can't be as bad as a Harley lol.
RODEDED , RODEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDED
The Leoncino is only £4999
a poor man's Ducati Diavel :) BUT may be just the ticket for me (as a former Diavel owner) now living in Bali.
Rodeded
Issue number one😂
Actually Keeway own Benelli
I know
the headlight looks like a woman in a dress. the dark part is the dress
Poor mans Ducati diavel?
I think thats what Benelli is doing, in my country for example average income is 15 thousand Us dollars per annual so 40 thousand usd Ducati Xdiavel is not affordable but this model will be sold for 7 thousand. An average person like me would go for Benelli, which i did by the way, well not this model but 4500 usd bn 302.
its does look like a door handle.
Leoncino is pronounced as Leonchino
Looks like Ducati Diavel ripoff
Rough editing, keep plugging away
£5200! Wow
It looks like a cruiser but doesn't sound like cruiser, it sound like a toothless old man trying whistle. 😂
It says Benelli but it screams Chinese knock off Diavel to look at O.o
Rodeded 😂
Should be called the Benelli “Fugly” That is one fuckin ugly motorcycle. My old Benelli 750sei on the other hand.....🥰🥰🥰🥰
flat ass butt ugly .. sorry who would want to be seen on that ..why a INLINE TWIN .. total useless design ... a triumph , royal enfield , twin design is better for cooling
