@@youtuberdriver Thank you for the input. I agree. Trying to get the audio right is always a challenge and I'm always trying to improve it. Ride safe 👍

@@chiranjeevir7102 thanks for checking out the channel. I don't tend to go on distance travelled. I keep an eye on the rear sprocket and when the teeth on the sprocket begin to get pointed and sharp it's time to change. Another indicator is if the chain becomes noisy or if you are getting stiff links on the chain. Hope this helps. Ride safe 👍

@@BikeRiderReviews yes, thank you

@problemslayer3538 Thanks for checking out the channel. That's fine. We all have different tastes and different needs from a bike, which is a great thing as it makes manufacturers make a wide variety of different types of bikes for us to choose from. If we all liked the same thing, the world would be a boring place. Ride safe 👍

@@Eastsussexbiker Thanks for checking out the channel. I haven't rode the 702 yet, however I hear a lot of reports from people who have upgraded from the 502 commenting the 702 is not as comfortable as the 502 for distance riding and also a lot of people are reporting fueling issues making the 702 jerky at low revs. As I have said, I personally haven't rode the 702 so I cannot confirm any of the statements. Maybe something for you to look into and to look for when test riding both bikes. Ride safe 👍

@@clo1385 Thank you. Very much appreciated 👍

@@davidskaggs9914 Thanks for checking out the review. I'm still very happy with my bike. Well over 20,000 miles and going strong. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the channel. The ground sheet is sold as a multi use ground sheet for both uses, as either a footprint under the sleeping area or as a ground sheet for the garage area. Within the garage area there are colour coded attachment points for the ground sheet. Ride safe 👍.

@@BikeRiderReviews yes I know it can be used for the garage but it you do you'll risk wearing out the bottom of your tent far quicker. All tents should be used with a separate ground sheet if you wish to prolong their life. Good practice is still good practice regardless of opinions and ignorance.

Thanks for checking out the channel. To be honest I don't bother tourqing the rear wheel, I just make sure it's tight by previous experience. I'm sure if you look on line, you will be able to find the correct setting if it is something which bothers you. Ride safe 👍

Hi thanks for checking out the channel. They are both excellent bikes. Take into consideration what the differences are between the two and then make a decision on what is most important to you. A few of the differences are, parts availability, power/speed, ride height, seating position, and the way the bikes handle, manoverability pushing the bike around, fuel range and economy. I'm sure there are other things too. I always recommend test riding any bike you are considering. At the end of the day it will be your personal preference. We are all different and require and enjoy different things from the bikes we ride. Me personally having both bikes in the garage, I always prefer the Benelli to my Honda. Ride safe 👍

Thank you for your concern. I'm glad that the channel is still being enjoyed by people and posts like this restores my faith in the bike scene in general. Unfortunately I've experienced some personal problems which has meant the channel has had to be put on the back burner. However I'm now hoping to start making videos again within the next month, so please keep an eye out for them. Once again, thank you for your kind words and ride safe 👍

I have to admit, it's not the best thought out. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the review. You are right, I never thought of it like that. Ride safe 👍.

@@BikeRiderReviews I am not have licence because I am not finished my 15 year's a go but now I am looking to finish them :)

Thanks for checking out the channel. It's great hearing from new riders. Ride safe 👍

Hi, oil should be Oil 10W - 50 (synthetic) Jaso - MACCMC g4 3. 21 ltrs for the TRK. The 10W number indicates the viscosity of the oil when the engine is cold and the 50W when the engine is hot. The oil you mention has a lower viscosity. The lower number is important for when you first start the engine from cold, and the higher number for when the engine is running hot. If the oil becomes to thin at running temperature, it is less effective at lubricating your engine.

Yes the bikes come with the lower set if bars and I've added the upper set. The bars have faded over time. But to be fair the bike is used year round in all weather's. They have saved the bike on numerous occasions and there is literally 99% zero rust on them after 5 years of use. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the channel. I think the Chinese have really closed the gap now with the standards if manufacturing. People still slag them off, comparing them to GS's and Africa Twins, but you have to keep in mind the price. I think the TRK's at the moment are one of the best value bikes out there. If you are a rider who keeps on top of maintenance and keeps your bike clean, then you should have no problems with a Benelli. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the review. I'm glad it was some help. Ride safe 👍

Hi, thanks for checking out the review. I think at the time, a lot of the accessories shown were not available from Benelli, however yes its a good idea to compare where possible. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the review. My bike has been very reliable. Parts are not as easily available as the big name brands where you can just walk into a dealership and get them off the shelf, however a quick search on ebay or the Internet will usually get you what you need. As I have only ever owned an x version I can only comment with accuracy for that model regarding the sprocket. I would definitely upgrade the front sprocket to 15T. I have test ridden the none x version, and it is geared differently to the x as standard, so I can't really comment on what would be best for that bike. If you take a look on my channel, I have an in-depth review titled TRK the truth where I cover all questions in detail. I also have a video where I change out the front sprocket to 15T and show the real world difference in the revs and performance. Ride safe 👍

Thank you mate. I'll take a look at your channel. I think in the coming years, a lot of people are going to be eating their words, just like when the Japanese bikes first entered the market. Ride safe 👍

I'm glad the review helped. Ride safe 👍

Hi, thanks for checking out the channel. I haven't heard of any kind of problems at that mileage point or any other mileage point to be fair. The majority of feedback I hear for the TRK is very positive, especially when it comes to reliability. The only thing I think of is maybe it has to do with being a mid range bike. A lot of people have the TRK as a first bike or even a first adventure bike as they are well priced and not overly powerful. I think a lot of people move on to the bigger bikes like BMW GS or Triumph tigres. Another thing to consider is price depreciation. Unfortunately, the Benelli brand doesn't hold its value well in the second-hand market, so it may just be people selling at that point due to this. I hope this helps. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the channel. I've not ridden the 702 yet, so I can't really say. However, as with any bike, you really should test ride it first. Ride safe, and if you make a purchase, let me know how you go on. 👍

I’m 5’6 you can drop the forks 30mm and they are lower to start with.

Hi, thanks for checking out the channel. To be honest, it is a bit hit and miss with availability in the UK. However, as the TRK is such a massive seller in Europe, parts are usually readily available there. So it isn't so much a problem of not being able to get the parts, it's just you may have to wait a little longer for delivery. To be honest I haven't really had any real problems up to yet. I mainly use ebay or a generic Web search to get parts. MOTO GB are dismal. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the channel. I can not realistically advise you. They are two very different bikes. The main thing I would take into consideration is what you want to use the bikes for. If it is touring, I personally prefer the Benelli. However, if you are comutinng on busy roads, then I think the Honda is better. Consider your own riding ability and physique. The Honda is easier to ride and push around. Also, consider the availability of dealerships and parts if that is something important to you. Honda has a far better dealership. Resale value may be important to you. Again, the Honda will hold value better than the Benelli. For my circumstances, I prefer the Benelli, but remember we are all different people. What may be best for me might not be for you. Ride safe 🙏

Thanks for kind reply, before one month I have done disk prolapse surgery, and I'm 183 cm , Honda Nc750x riding position is suitable for me ?

@AhmedSaad-xz5tv I think the Benelli has a more comfortable seating position but the Benelli is very heavy to slow manoeuvre and heavy to get on and off the stand. The Honda is more manageable at slow speed and getting on and off the stand. You really need to test ride both bikes as that is the only way you will know which suits your needs best. On a medical note, I would recommend you spend more time recovering from your surgery before riding. Ride safe 👍

I think once I have used all my AF50 up I'll give it a try. Ride safe 👍

Hi thanks for checking out the channel. You are spot on with what you say. It absolutely amazes me the amount of people who are completely bias and prejudice against the Benelli quoting because it is Chinese. What amazes me more is that the same people are riding around on bikes which are made of a large amount of Chinese components and they are total ignorant of the fact. I think this is the best time to buy Chinese manufacturer bikes as we are in the period where they are offering good products at a reduced price to break into the market. I think in the years to come, the stigma of Chinese bikes will drop and the prices rise. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the channel. Yes the panels are still working fine. Ride safe 👍

@@BikeRiderReviews Well after seeing your vid I bought the 40w system & it works just a you described. I had been having issues for ages with the battery going flat but not been able to ride that often. The system took the battery from unable to start the bike to starting every time and letting me know what the battery condition was. Thanks for the video. Money well, spent.

WOW, great criticism. Just a thought, can you show me a bike, that remains in show room prestine condition after being used daily, 7 days a week for over 5 years, all year around including winter in the UK on salted roads, covering high mileage road trips? I think everyone who knows anything about owning motorcycles in the UK will understand the general message I was conveying about the bike. I always welcome constructive criticism on my channel when appropriate, but mate, really. If you feel my video or videos are misleading, please feel free to scroll on by. Ride safe 👍

@@BikeRiderReviews Well yes I can, my '99 Bmw GS has no rust, and I know at least I am using it in all seasons, including riding on salt roads. I watched your video because I'm interested in the bike and was hoping for the best. In my comment i was merely stating the obvious: by the time that bike reaches the age of my old beemer it will be well rusted, unfortunately.

@vixr350r Thank you for your reply. I think you must have an exceptional GS. Last December, i was working as a motorcycle instructor. I was covering around a 1000 miles a week and around the Edinburgh area like much of the country it was constant horrendous weather, snow, ice, and rain for the whole month. Two of the other instructors rode BMW GS bikes. Each night, the bikes were foam bathed and jet washed. I can honestly say they showed the same wear and tear and rust levels as my TRK. I have been riding bikes for a very long time, and I understand that you can keep any bike in pristine condition given enough time to meticulously clean it after every ride. My bike is not treated in this way. Yes, it is hosed down with fresh water after a ride and cleaned with a foam bath / sponge, and jet was once a week. My bike is a daily commuter and work horse. I have absolutely no doubt that if I was to spend more time cleaning the bike after each ride, it would remain totally rust free and pristine. As for rust on the weld on the subframe that was dirt. I'll put a close up on my next upload to the channel. In the video I have not tried to hide anything or pull the wool over anyone's eyes. I showed the bike in its entirety. If that's the impression you got from the video, then accept my apologies. However, I have to disagree with your implication that in time to come, the bike will be rusted away. In my opinion, the TRK is no worse or better than my other bikes I've owned, including Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha. Ride safe 👍

I don't believe my bike to be exceptional. It just has no rust and i haven't owned it for long now, yet it was fabricated in 1999. Anyway, good to hear you are very assured about the rust on the benelli. This gives me more confidence to go and test ride one soon, but still don't like to see rusted bolts on a bike that young. If only they used a better material, or i'd have to replace a lot of bolts after buying.. Also there's quite a few benelli owners (not necessarily trk502) that complain about rust. I'm definately not trying to say these bikes are bad quality, since i'm actually interested in them, but yet have to be convinced about the build quality. Looking forward to another review from this bike in a couple of years.

@vixr350r Honestly I've been riding bikes well over 20 years and I've had a lot of different makes of bikes and I wouldn't say the Benelli is any worse than for reliability or rust than any the them. I also have a Honda at the moment and uts true to say some of the components look to be higher quality and things like the welding is neater than the Benelli but I wouldn't say that makes the Benelli of poor quality either. My Benelli gets absolutely hammered mate year in and out, and it's been rock steady throughout. While the Benelli is not the best bike ice owned, it's still an exceptional bike, and if you go on the best bike for money, it's definitely the best. My advice is to take one out for a test ride and have a good close look. I think only that way will you be able to make a decent assessment for yourself.

Thanks for checking out the channel. I hope this helps. Ride safe 👍 czcams.com/video/txo1ve8zHfc/video.htmlsi=_s7qF4cs6AutLy7L

To be honest, no. Ride safe 👍

Thanks for checking out the channel. If your TRK is quite new with low miles on the clock, you may find the vibration lessons as the engine wears in. My bike was quite buzzy at first, but I found that after around 3,000 miles, it really improved. (or perhaps I just got used to it lol). However, there are things you can do to help. The first thing I would do is put a 15t rear sprocket on. This will help to lower the revs at higher speeds, reducing the vibration. You can also look at the seat. There are the netting seat covers that are supposed to help. However, I've never owned one, so I can't vouch for them. You can also get inflatable seat pads such as air hawk seats. I've used these in the past, and they are comfortable. However, consider that they will raise the seat height, which may cause problems if you are already on tip-toes. Another thing to look at could be changes tyres to some that are kess viby. Hope this helps. Ride safe 👍
