Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is best Benelli TRK 502 or Versys 650?
  • I think, there was a comparison video done by Overdrive.. Check in YouTube. Being a Versys 650 owner, I would not prefer TRK502 due to its weight, under power engine, reliability issues and past history of the brand Benelli in India. You must look between V-Strom 650 and Versys 650 if you are in market to buy one.
  • At present, it would not be possible to provide a fruitful comparison as the TRK 502 is yet to be launched. So we would suggest you to wait till the brand reveals the complete details of the TRK 502. Stay tuned.
Q. Ducati scrambler or Benelli leoncino 500, which would be a better value for money in terms of owenrship, maintenance, performance, and long term use?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict here since the Benelli Leoncino 500 hasn't been launched yet. We would suggest you to wait for the launch. Stay tuned for further updates.
