Good fair review guys. As a Benelli main agent we were suprised and disappointed at the MCN review. When you look at what you get for your money, it's a lovely capable machine. Of course its not a BMW GS but you can buy 3 of these for the price of a GS. Don't get me wrong like most bikers I want to know the good and the bad in a review but I just don't see how MCN can have arrived at their conclusions, maybe its because Benelli don't spend on advertising with MCN. We would be happy for you to review any of the bikes we stock. Tony, TW Motorcycles Ltd
It's no doubt that it's the best budget beautiful looking Adventure Tourer bike..so nice..the X version is cool one..the success of this kind of brand completly depend on how the is the after sale service is..
I felt the same way...U throw money u can get them to say anything...its a good value for money bike...in India though the dealership doesn't inspire confidence..Not the bike's fault!
Great review, I have to say, this is by far the best honest one of anyone yet. I just looked at one here in Thailand where I am currently living and it was absolutely awesome. Thanks to your input, I will be buying the TRK. I look forward to more of your reviews, keep up the good work and speak the truth as you always do..
I don't know why MCN gave such negative review of this bike, they didn't cover any good things about this bike. This felt like a genuine review. Thumps Up!
I agree , very confusing that MCN review , like they were paid by someone else to make a shit review , also read and seen lot of other VLOGer reviews and they give this bike a big thumbs up. So I really don't know what to think , hopefully will have a change someday to test it.
This was one of the first if not the first review I had seen of the TRK, finally I would like to say...I have just bought one and cannot wait for it to be here.
Just discovered your Chanel as i'm interested in this bike.Have to say that is the fairest honest and detailed review as any i have watched or read,thank you your a credit to the the bike scene.
Nice review mate. I stopped buying MCN years ago. They never let the truth get in the way of a good story !! Thanks for taking the time to make this video
I liked this review, I too was disappointed with MCN's Write up. I'm going to have a look at this bike next week even though it has less bhp than my 250 two stroke! Just fancy a change and riding experience. Again, great honest review!
I have riden a pcx125 for about 3 years and test drove this, felt superb on the road but the weigth when its time to manuver it with the feet scared me... it feels like a rock. Also I could no longer split in traffic like in the pcx... but I loved the confort, the driving position, and and looks of it! Dont know what to do...
Socialmente Inconveniente if you are on an A2 liscence then you could try the Kawasaki Z650 or if you would like a touring bike you could go for the Versys 650 which are both lighter with more punch, for £500 odd more. From a PCX to a big Benelli is a great ask in anybodys eyes. It's a big step up! Good luck with whatever you decide to go for!
Hi Everyone, we have a new ride and review up on our channel! It's for the 2017 Kawasaki Versys 650. Please give it a watch and let us know what you all think! Also are there any other bikes that you would like us to review? Let us know!
Thinking of buying one to take my partner with me on a road trip from time to time.. would u recommend this bike for the job.. does it cruise at a decent speed with a pollion on the back.. great video btw
Unfortunately there are issues with the brakes on the TRK, a motovlogger tested it he showed his hands pulling the lever a lot but it wasn't braking a lot. Lovely bike though.
How the speed is ? I mean the couple. Can you easily overdrive a truck or a car on the highway ? Is she responsive ? Maniability ? These are the 3 big point for me because i'll use it in city most of the time and i'm scared of the power.
Perfect review! Realy looks like a good bike !:) I have a little doubt about oil filter safe and front part of engine crankase. have Bennelli or someone else engine front case cover/ protector? Did You heard something about?
Great review from someone who obviously knows what he's doing and who's tested the bike thoroughly. A friend of mine chose this over a Versys 650 for all the reasons you stated. I'm doing my A2 and am seriously considering the Benelli as my daily drive. And the price difference!! New leather jacket and then some. Thanks again!
Fancied looking at this bike in a year or two when business settles down. I took in the other review and it worried me but I suppose the best test (review) is a test ride, make my own mind up. Question: Is that front tyre on correctly?
I'm 5'6" and I'm on tippy toes when I'm on it. It's manageable, just watch out for the weight. My current bike is a 200 Duke, so I'm used to a much much lighter and shorter(?) bike. However, this bike looks and seems to be awesome for its price. I can really see me switching my Duke for this :D
I bought the bike before 4 months that was a mistake.. A trk 502 x.. 1.Very heavy.. 235 kilos make the bike unterpower.I can't imagine with 3 koffers and a woman on bike.... 2.Chinese build.. Cheap plastics and windscreen and switch etc.. 3.Many issues.. I have 1400 km and all ready I have problem with gearbox and the rear brake is spongy.. Other guys have problems like coils and spark plugs, water pumb, fuel pumb, thermostat, gasket, leak from the Cooland.. Etc.. 4.Small network and bad support.. Must wait from China the spare parts.. At least in Germany... Positives.. Comfortable, very beautiful, good fork, good sound, extras.. It's not a bad choice but not the best.. I love this bike but they didn't make a good job.. This bike if had better quality build 650 cc and better servise will be a best seller.
@@bikeaesthetics1067 the problem is that I love this bike but the service support is not good in Germany.. I don't know for other countries.. If I have a big problem what I will do? That make me to change my mind every day.. Maybe I will buy a versys 650..i don't know..
MCN is the least likely publication I would ever read for any motorcycle or scooter review. Its journalists are mostly (not all) a bunch of immature, power/speed obsessed junkies who regularly slag off anything that isn't in their opinion "cool". They just don't get it. Imagine a car magazine telling you that all cars are worthless unless they had 400 hp. That's about the power to weight ratio equivalent of their preferred motorcycles. Almost every bike I've owned was described as more or less worthless junk by MCN and the more they slagged everything off the more I found such machines useful. Suzy Perry once guest-edited MCN and she wrote a very good article pleading for a change in attitude within that paper and in the motorcycle community, focussing on the UK's obsession with speed, power and nutcase road riding. Unfortunately it fell on deaf ears. The core problem with MCN and similar magazines/newspapers is their bias towards racing, rather than something that is useful and reasonably safe on the roads. They also promote irresponsible and reckless riding, between the lines.
MCN is just a jolly boys club and are rubbishing this Italian/Chinese bike in the same way that Japanese bikes were rubbished years ago, and look what happened there!
New video on the channel! Check it out.

TW Motorcycles Thanks for your thoughts! We'd love to. 😀 Next review is on it's way!

Aren't the service intervals quite short?
MCN (More Crap than News)

Thanks for sharing your opinion L. Actually I don't understand why the Mcn review was so rude. Everybody is reasonably convinced except them!
Alberto Ramos , we hear you, everyone else who has tried the bike seems to have enjoyed it! It was very nice and surprising ride for us.
I agree , very confusing that MCN review , like they were paid by someone else to make a shit review , also read and seen lot of other VLOGer reviews and they give this bike a big thumbs up. So I really don't know what to think , hopefully will have a change someday to test it.

I think I will buy one based on your review, never trusted MCN, always backed the big players...
That was one of the most sincere review that I saw I really like it
xchalibur77 Thanks very much for your comment!
If you would like to see more reviews like this subscribe to the channel, loads more coming up in the next few week or so! 😀

I hope that you didn't bought the bike.. I made this mistake..

Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Take note MCN, that is how to do a review
stuste964 😜
Great review MCN got it so wrong, went to see one today 2nd bike for me i reckon. thanks again.

TDR man Thanks man. Let us know how you get on with it!
What a review! It's like a wise man teaching good and bad..
Aww bless you. Thank you for your kind words. 😀

good honest review , thanks . I quite like the bike don't look too bad
gazzertrn Thanks alot! It's a good bike. :)
I am 2 years late..but an absolutely spot on review..How is it for a pillion?..tnx!
Unfortunately there are issues with the brakes on the TRK, a motovlogger tested it he showed his hands pulling the lever a lot but it wasn't braking a lot. Lovely bike though.
Manu Dibango A few riders have brought up a similar issue. The brakes aren't the greatest but they do the job.
I really like mine too... excellent value for money....👍😎🎉🎊
sharma Llama That's great to hear!
How the speed is ? I mean the couple.
Can you easily overdrive a truck or a car on the highway ?
Is she responsive ?
Maniability ?
These are the 3 big point for me because i'll use it in city most of the time and i'm scared of the power.
Wow! Great positive review! The bike looks fantastic! How would it compare to the Versys 650 in terms of power and handling?
The Urban Hippies Check out our latest video. We have reviewed the Versys 650!
Perfect review!
Realy looks like a good bike !:)
I have a little doubt about oil filter safe and front part of engine crankase.
have Bennelli or someone else engine front case cover/ protector? Did You heard something about?
gkon hocam selam, ilk motorun mu acaba? Bir de test sürüşünü nerede yaptın, test aracı var mı?
does the panniers come along with the bike or it must be separately bought?
Awesome review..is it possible to install thicker rear tire?
Will it cruise up the motorway at 70-80 mph with ease ?
Richard Cheetham Yes, but you wouldn't be going at 80mph... Would you? 😉
Great review from someone who obviously knows what he's doing and who's tested the bike thoroughly. A friend of mine chose this over a Versys 650 for all the reasons you stated.

Thank you for the nice comment. Enjoy your bike when you get it!

charles ward That's the best thing to do. Give it a try and see for yourself. 👍
Cool bike...👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👏👏👏
nice bike I want to ask what is your height mine is 5ft 9 in will it be good for me
I am around 6ft 3in and did not look ridiculous on it :)
Bravo... good review !!!!!
How would you compare it to the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
Hard to say since I haven't had a shot of one yet! I've heard good things so far. If I can get my hands on one I will do a review. 👍
headlamps need LED conversion
NYC review man 👍
Harpal Singh Thanks dude. :)
I like reading MCN but I have found unless it's a fast bike they can wheelie or an expensive bike laden with the latest tech, they are very negative
I'm 5'5 will it look big on me when m riding it mate ?
I'm 5'6" and I'm on tippy toes when I'm on it. It's manageable, just watch out for the weight. My current bike is a 200 Duke, so I'm used to a much much lighter and shorter(?) bike. However, this bike looks and seems to be awesome for its price. I can really see me switching my Duke for this :D
Thank you for subscribing. 😁
Is it difficult to ride off-road with the weight of the motorbike ?
bhavin nagda No mate, it's real easy... Depending on you're off road skills.
How good is it and how much is it?
Andy Bryant Between £5000-£5500.
but what about gearing? it revs so fast at motorway speed, how can one travel long distance like that
Fantastic
How tall you are?
radzix309 6ft 3

What about seat hight ? Would the trk be suitable for a short ass like my self 5:8
It`s 35 kg. Heavyer than the Honda CB 500 XA Wet. And only got 0.5hp more than the Honda.
Yes.. But it's full extra with 2 disc brakes and a huge fork
How tall are you, sir?
6ft 3 :)

loose the desperate to be exciting music and you will be near perfect
Cheers for the feedback. 👍
