Yes, a good review. The only thing I must disagree with you is, about the engine protection crash bars. I fell from my bike within a few days of having bought it from the garage. The bars protected everything including the very expensive alloy panniers fitted on my bike. I think they are one of the best bit of the design of the bike.
Also looked at the CB500X, but I decided on the TRK X, gonna pick it up next week. The Honda is a good bike, but i did not get any vibe from it, and i got an instant vibe with the TRK. Italian design and Chinese made. A lot of people have something against it. But most parts from Yamaha, Honda etc are produced in China. And as somebody said earlier, the CB500X is made in Thailand, so what are we talking about anyway….
@@nazgul1779 Being made in Thailand is not a negative!. Those Hondas are bulletproof and have an incredible reputation for reliability. The very best! Well done to Thailand!
There are some nice features on this bike. If you were looking for a bike this size, would you be comfortable with component quality, manufacturer support and servicing and buy one for yourself over say, a Honda equivalent? Thanks for all the videos, hope to see more coming in 2021. Happy New Year - Boldog Uj Evet kivanunk!
I can see discoloration in exhaust pipes. Looks like one cilinder working much hotter than other. This is not first time that I see pipe difference on TRK. I am considering buying one, but couldn't find much update why some TRK502 have this problem. Is it faulty O2 senzor, or some gasket is leaking air? Any updates on this issue?
I've seen that same discoloration on a few other bikes - The conclusion i came to is that it's always the header straight behind the wheel that gets that dull color. probably just burned on road grime.
Excellent review! thank you very much! I'm buying one of those for sure :) My previous bike was Versys 300 and I would never changed him if he was more comfortable :( But now I decided to try the Benelli... One last thing - the seat is really more comfortable than the 2019 model? Is there major differences between the 2020 and 2021 model?
Really good review! I'm planing to buy one. I'm going to buy BMW adventure bike some day, but I think TRK could be a great entry level adv. bike. Am I right about this?
greetings fron Athens. Thank you for your video. i'm intrested in buying a trk502. my main concern has to do about the highway cruising speed (2 passengers and a top box) that this model can achieve. I'd appreciete your experience. my other concerns have to do about any reliability issues that this model may have. I need a bike for everyday commuting and for 300-400 km trips with passenger and some luggage.
I would like your opinion between thi modell & Honda cb 500x (2019). I must mention that i'm a begginer rider, and one of these 2 will be my first bike. The main purpose is to ride also on light gravel, beside tarmac. Thanks.
Is there any point in purchasing the x version? The normal one has a decent ground clearance and anyway this bike can only go on light trails due to his weight and motorization. Not to mention, better weat height for short riders. As such, it looks to me that road version can do same for cheaper. Do you agree ?
Non x has a stupid exhaust in my opinion, i dont like the underbelly exhaust. Also wheels are different, normal is both 17 inch cast aluminum and x is 19 front and 17 rear and are spoked.
Best review ive seen off the trk on RUclips

Really great review as always. CB500X was a serious contender for me but I think this TRK has the edge on it.
I also was looking at the Honda. I just wonder would the engine be as longer lasting as the Honda.
@@paulcummins5231 the honda is made in Thailand......no better then the benelii

@@peter58murray The honda cb500x is bulletproof. The Benelli although good is not likely to outlast the honda.

Nice review, mentioned all the positive and negative aspects. Thank you
Great review of the TRK 502X 2020

Thanks bro
A wonderfully articulated review.
Love your reviews. Will appreciate if you can please also post a review of the new Benelli Leoncino 800 trail. Many thanks.
Here you are: ruclips.net/video/8kaJERFmQoI/видео.html :-)
Im going to buy this tommorow
5:15 - I thought that's the ABS on/off button? The switch was a rather crude afterthought on the previous model.

Honda CB500x is lighter and simpler. This TRK502x is very heavy and huge. What is your body size (height and weight)?
It's a beautiful bike and plenty of engine for long tourism, even though you may not be the fastest.
Excellent review. Thank you
Very good review thank you 👍

How tall are you? I'm 196cm and I'm in big dilemma bexause I'm 44 yrs old, and I'm thinking to buy new Benelli 502X as first motorbike.
Is there a petrol level indicator on the dash?
How maney trk 502x ! Where are you from country?
Is seat height still 840mm or lower?
The same as earlier.
Can turn off abs on this model ?
Sure
What is the width at mirrors? At crash bars? Thank you.
Awesome 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
This cb500x mead in china and it is bad quality .
Good review of a bike I have no interest in.
Too bad you're missing out on a excellent value for money bike ....
@@tauruswinds37 Too heavy for the engine size.
