2019 Benelli TRK 502 : Your garage is empty : PowerDrift

- Benelli TRK 502 promises to be the adventure touring motorcycle that your garage has been missing so far. The muscular and imposing styling make it stand out in a crowd, while the cycle parts check all the right boxes for an ADV bike. And then there is the docile 47 horsepower 500cc twin-cylinder engine which makes it ideal for those stepping up from small-capacity bikes. But is it enough for you to finally break your bank and spend Rs 5.0 lakhs (ex-showroom) on it?

Hello #PDArmy! The TRK 502 is one of the most anticipated adv motorcycles in India! Now that it's here, will your garage house one? Let us know by a show of Likes, and comment below if you think it could have done with more.
Wasn't the Benelli 600 GT the first one from Benelli , I guess TRK 502 is 2nd
PowerDrift best vide best editing
@@amartya2727 The 600GT was a sports touring bike :)
Wouldnt a versey 650 make more sense??? More power n more features???
Really loved the video
Really nice brolls
I don't know why but now Nepal gets the cars before india. The bikes too arrive earlier than India. This bike has been in Nepal for 2 years now. The Hyundai Kona and ioniq has also been launched here. The panigale v4 was also launched earlier and now we also have the benelli 302s which actually I just saw today on the road. I think Nepal has become like a testing site for manufacturers. What are your thoughts
This motorcycle will be such a sweet upgrade for an Indian middle-class guy on a 300cc now if Benelli strengthens up their service quality across the county. Great job Powerdrift 😊, especially for covering the cons along with the pros 😊
I will never recommend a Benelli to average Indian brothers.. monopoly of spare parts, high labour costs and below average service centre expertise doesn't help average or the common men here in India who dream of owning such bikes. Benelli service centre fails the brand. No Quality at ground level.
This is not a wise choice as per my research.Benneli cannot offer the reliability as Japanese brands offer.
Ashane❣️❣️
True, I own a classic 350 since 2016 and decided to go for trk 502 as in this price range there is no better bike. Ppl would say spend 2 lac or 3 lac more to get versys 650 or CB500x but I don't want to spend anything more than 5 lac on bikes. Again TRK is worth an upgrade for anyone having less than 500cc bikes and definitely not in competition with versys 650 or 500X. Also this machine is not for beginners at all, I would recommend this to intermediate champs.
Super Varun... Ha ha u have to postpone your marriage
Multistrada from the front. Tiger from the back. Overweight and underpowered in the competition yet the pricing is what makes this a good deal. One thing Benelli does good is make characterful motorcycles for the accessible market.
Proud owner of a 600i 👌
How has the after-sales experience been so far?
It became terrible when DSK packed their bags and bid adieu. But the service centres are running again and they have been extremely helpful 👌
True review, even the tnt300 weighs more than an royal enfield. It was sold for the sound.
" To buy one , you had to postpone your marriage"
😂 Truth has been spoken
Not just that. You have to be single forever.
PD reviews earned name and fame due to Sagar and now it's all about commentary by comedians
PowerDrift lacking that charm that once attracted me to this channel..
Ya bro
The soul of the channel is missing for a while. IDK what happened😑
The mic is pretty much trash. Thought my speakers had failed! Had to play some music to make sure they were ok and it was just the video.
What the fuck was that intro all about ???? He tried to hype it 🤣
Well, it's always nice to have some fun!
Ok the intro ---- half of the country's population waits for water where as half waits for electricity ok, and then you end it with our country waited for a good adventure tourer which also costs more than 5 lakhs, ok so need vs want. xD
OMG the audio quality 😭 *ears bleeding*
Didnt expect PowerDrift to make such a rookie mistake of not recording the engine sound and just playing music through the entire video!
This is what i would call a honest review , loved the intro section about the impulse and Himalayan , Seems like Varun was freely speaking his mind , was really missing such videos from powerdrift
you guys should talk with you video editors/ the persons who are responsible those excess background sound effect. These sounds so excess that I couldn't able hear sound of the bike when you 1st start the bike.
Audio quality and video quality not upto Powerdrift standards.
I loved the TRK 502 & the video but audio is sounding like as it's coming from a cheap 💯 microphone.
Your spelt your name wrong. You typed it Anas instead of Anal. If you don’t have anything nice to say. Don’t say anything at all.
Ur both TRK videos saved me from postponing my marriage 😳...
I would prefer to keep my garage empty for some more time☹️
Good to see Indian adventure touring bike segment growing. No doubt every manufacturer is trying to fit in. As always great review by Varun.
It's like Ducati multi strada and Triumph tiger had a baby 😂
17 inch front tyres makes adventure bikes look like a big grown man wearing kids shoe, i have an idea take of all the fairings & crash guard of this bike and you will get a cool looking supermoto
Horrible audio this time
Entertaining review once again!
The fantastic exhaust note is due to a 360° crank.
The confusion between selecting Versys 650 and TRK would be easier if they'd launched the TRK502 @₹4.5 lakhs and 502X @₹4.99 lakhs. This would've easily brought the on road pricing difference easily by more than ₹2 lakhs, and the Benelli could've made more sense. Currently it's a slippery slope at this price and Versys still has the upper hand I believe in terms of reliability and resale value.
Also the kerb weight is actually 210 kgs for TRK 502 and 502X, found in international official websites. Still heavy in my books for a 500cc twin adv. The weight of 235 kgs is when fully accesorised and loaded with panniers and top box.
Cheers!
It's not versys, it's the vstorm which is going to be bang for the buck. Vstorm gets spoke wheels with tubeless tyre setup and has ample amount of power
@@kooler999ify But this is roughly ₹2.5-3lakhs cheaper than V-Strom
the front wheel is too small and I don't have a garage, I live in govt. flats 🤣🤣
I checked my garage, and I have a motorcycle & I know any motorcycle can be a adventure/touring motorcycle.
Whats better, I know the bike since long so mechanical problems can be well taken care of.
and icing over the cake is I don't need to shell out from my travelling budget to buy such a heavy scary machine which is way too heavy for proper off roading with a smaller engine relative to its weight. Hell I can't believe burning my pocket buying and dropping such a big expensive bike which is expensive to maintain all thanks to benelli India with its very expensive maintenance and spare parts.
The idea of adventure is just to enjoy being on road and travelling as much and as far with the budget we have. This can be done any practically any motorcycle you have even scooters do for that matter, as long as you are familiar with your bike and you can handle the bike pretty well.. That's priceless
Thank you very much for reviewing Benelli. They let riders take control of them rather than other manufacturers where bikes control everything.
Benelli = Best kept secret of motorcycling
I had invested 3 + years on a Benelli - Now i can say it falls apart due to incompetent technicians not enough expertise. We invest so much money and time and what we get is below average service quality from Benelli India. I love your videos PD. Benelli are lovely bikes - BUT as per my experience it cant even match TVS service centres.
Oh, that's so sad! We hope Benelli takes notice.
@@powerdriftofficial so I did escalate the issue. As a company they worked together to resolve the issue today. So with this it ends on a happy note. The tug of war in marriage and service centre is always on going process.. to keep relationship alive while we ride our dreams 😊✌️
Now this is why I subscribed to powerdrift ... #MoreBikeVideos
Key word '' modern time dinosaur "
I probably should have watched the intro part of 40 sec 1000 times. Really best automobile channel for a reason
that intro Varun gave :D badass!
Woah....Varun is shining.... And the review is amazing..... But audio is not as expected..... Still love PD...#PDARMY
audio was not good.. vocals were overblown
Half the country waits for electricity.... modiji got offended
Make a decent motorcycle, give it to powerdrift for review...sold out next day...u guys are mental in making reviews...👌
Tooooooooooooooo good!!! For the first time after a loooooooooooong time.. a good video.. a good review.. made me miss sarge a lot less today.. Good job Varun!
The Rear wheel feels a bit Smaller! & with the fuel tank of 20 liters!... PD cameo was icing in the cake.... Didn't Predicted that
What happened to Power drift......Poor Audio and video quality....😳👎...
Seriously, you guys are amazing at your craft
waiting 😁
Pinne alla🔥
Kurach late aaiye pooi😂
The mic in this episode is awful
Loved the theme u started with Varun...
Very crisp review...quite positive compared to Priyadarshan’s 502X review.
Weight is a concern... power to weight ratio is screwed I guess!!
Cheers
My garage is ready for KTM 390 Adventure!
What's wrong with the sound quality?
Who Fkin told you half wait for water and other half waits for electricity? Get your facts right.
Nice english :D

Tooooo much music!! You talk about the sweet engine noise then drown it with loud annying sounds! Stop it!!
0:35 postpone your marriage 😂😂😂.now that's the type of review we want from Varun🔥🔥🔥
A Z800 is why he had to postpone his marriage ;)
The bike looks great..one suggestion to #powerdrift guys off late ur background score is too much in the videos and the sound of the speaker is low..either reduce the background music or use better mic.please..
Completely agree.
#PDArmy pls note
This is a good review but the background score felt forced compared Varun's messed up voice output. It felt kinda weird .
Aye glad to see the auto community is hooking each other up..
Awesome thing this is.
😁👍
No no no no no. The plot is lost. The poetic intro was in place ,yes. But it turns into yet another run of the mill specifications mentioning game. That's why we watch zigwheels and the others,to get the specifications. We watch PowerDrift because it makes the entire thing poetic. A new concept every time. The rc200 review, the beautiful Daytona 675 review and the magnificent versus 650 review. Powerdrift makes poetry in motion. That's your roots. Yes, sarge is gone. But powerdrift is bigger than sarge. It was the magnificent editing, the concept of a video, the soundtrack and the host's energy. Varun is doing his best. Don't let him down,please. Please don't stray too far away from your roots in order to become mainstream.
p.s.i still love you guys. I am still, a loyal PDarmy soldier. And this is my heartfelt request.
Not a fan of benelli but a fan of Varun so watched this video twice 👀 Good Video PD! And as always good job Varun! 👊😁
Anything above 180 kg weight is not good for Indian roads.
True I have a 2016 N650 & I couldn't manage it's weight of 212kgs I can imagine what kind of pain this would be
- Bad audio output
- Talks about the exhaust and doesn't even let us hear it
- Focus issues in some frames
- No Sarge (okay, can't really complain about this one!)
PD, you're giving us yet more reasons to unsubscribe every day.
What an introduction. It's like Hollywood style
Thank you Srikanth, glad you liked it!
PD please make sure that there is no noise while speaking . There's too much of it in this video .
Varun painter... Waiting for your review... You are just awesome ❤️
Guys, I love your videos and I have said that a hundred times at least but you really really need to look into your sound. Mr. Painter has a slightly high, shrilly voice and when you add that loud music in the background, he is barely audible at places (no offense to you Varun, the sound guy(s) need to understand this). Atleast tone it down a notch when he is speaking. Secondly, not sure what's that at 2:04, your microphone rubbing onto your clothes or what but listening to it made my eyes water. These things destroy a video experience that I expect from a PD video.
Apologies for that, Yashika! We shall look into that and sort it out before the next one!
Mahindra mojo can be a better option who are trying for tourer, which is 300cc bike in just below 2lks
Audio is fucked up
Cinematography 👍🏼 Sound 👎🏼
4000km so far so good...no problems
Long term report?
I ride for 420km and when back for 420km again in just one day..it's shocked me..no fatigue.
audio seemed to be a bit off in this video
A strip down version of Ducati multistrada😜😂
Awesome introduction man. Great writing haha
Glad you liked it!
Love the cinematography... As usual, PD is always one step above the rest...
Audio has always been your weakness
Nice video Varun, Priyadarshan and team PD! 👍
24 states in India recently achieved 100% electrification, just to let people know we have come this far! we started fro the bottom now we here!! ali bhai toh bhai hai apnaaaa...... this bike somehow lacked the meaty performance the crowd seek for, with the power toweight ratio, I do consider the RE 650 engineers are trying to fit it inside of Himalayan. benelli - i love you for your sound and will always do, but an oomph is lacking i am not sure where. maybe its too much of kim kadarshian you are throwing at us???
Something wrong with audio?
Mic problem
Benelli should have given it more power and the finishing on the bike could have been better.
It also lacks on a lot of equipment as well 😅
Incredibly Presented 😍🙌🏻
The cinematography with the editing is top notch 🔥
#VeteranPowerdriftFeels ❤️
Everything is well and good until your benelli has a problem and you have to pray to God to get that part I three months time
@Powerdrift , why do you guys never allow even few seconds of the actual engine sound in any of your reviews?? is it not a characteristic of the vehicle, just like any other feature detail?
"We have Himalayan but it spends most of the time in work shop."
Very well said.
Add one too
"And owners lying in hospital."
Is the audio quality really bad or is it just me ?
The Himalayan 650 is gonna eat this whole.
The background music is loud that the voice is difficult to hear.. please tone down the background music
Putting those villagers' wait for bare essentials like electricity and potable water on the same pedestal as the Indian biking enthusiasts' demand for an affordable adventure tourer is just wrong and uncalled for.
Please be more sensitive. Please be aware of your privilege!
Very true
the story is well said like always and Mr. Painter has painted the picture in his own signature style, which is fabulous. I have a request can you please review the Suzuki Katana, the new ninja 300 , versys 650 and the new speed triple ? Please ?
considering the reliability of benelli, we don't know how well it'll justify the price it asks, maybe it is cheaper, but that 230kg weight with a 500cc parallel twin seems a bit less. And speaking of adv's duke 390 adv might heat up the non existing adv segment of single cylinders. Waiting for that.
waiting for the engineers at the RE for swapping 650 to the Himalayan, let the game begin!!!!
@@lordsalvatore3846 yeah if that too happens, it'll be good too, considering the 650 engine proved it's reliable than the workshop visiting 400 mill(carb version), idk about how's the fi performing🤔.
Fucking love the intro 🤣🤣
Which motorcycle is better for riding on French roads and highways? Thanks in regard😀
is it only me whos thinking it looks like to ducati multistrada ?
Seriously? That’s your intro? What a shame! Also when companies are offering lesser capacity fuel tanks people complain. Now when they are offering more fuel tank capacity you are complaining about it becoming difficult to handle. You also want it to be light weight. Beta tu scooty chalana. Oh wait just realised you’ve got issues with that too :p
this is the first time I feel PD has screwed up the audio, it kept on screeching from the beginning, I had to check if my earphones went haywire, couldn't even completely watch
Yeah me too. I heard some butt hole, and last painter.
ankur patro gh
We want trk 502x review 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Check your garage" Haah. Dont have one.
THAT first 55 seconds is an Introduction on Grand Tour / Top Gear level - well done guys - please keep that awesome work up.
way better than autocar's boring presentation....
Himalayan 😂 .... Now benelli 🔥 😍 triumph tiger 21L middle class can't... But now 😍 we can buy benelli🔥 adventure 4.80L
I think it's better value at Half the price of Triumph Tiger base version.
The audio isn't like always....
Impressive presentation
Pd pd pd your choice of words to describe a motorcycle can win any battle against anyone or any channel indeed 😍 you guys are always 🔥
Awaiting CB500X. It will dethrone all semi adventure tourer bikes under 7lks.
It's Honda gonna be more expensive
@@manukrishnann7008 If CB500X bought under ckd, you can expect a price tag of 5lks similar to Beneli 502.
Jayavardhan c bro their is no official statement from Honda on launching cb500x in India
Marriage postponed.
😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Good job as always guys!
aahhhh... now, that's what you call a video!!! #PDArmy
Nah adventure Duke 390 is the wait
PowerDrift, having fun, seriously!! You begin with an intro about the apathy of people without water & electricity, and then propagate ADVs as something that India has been craving for??
Despicable content...!!
Agree with you bro
