Benelli 302 Review & Testride!

[@ComandanteJ]

When cager stops talking for a long period of time, that means he is having fun. Well, he does it a lot in this vid, so that tells me, this bike rocks!

[@tazui1982]

Hey Cager, wanted to say thank you because after watching many of your vids and this one specifically, i went and purchased this bike Bn 302. The sound is so nice i still have a smile on my face now watching your vid and thinking about how im going to enjoy the ride in 1 hour when i go for a ride on my brand new Bn 302.

[@sulu6726]

Hi from New Zealand - I did exactly the same too after watching this video review last year. I've had my Benelli just over a year now. Absolutely love it. Thank you Cager.

[@non-stereotypicalprogramme3666]

and what about its weight? Are there any problems at low speed?

[@Sulu-sw3zo]

@@non-stereotypicalprogramme3666 no, none at all.

[@dcg44s]

Great review Cager.Lots of reviewers can give us an informative yet boring review but when you are enjoying yourself and the emotion and passion come through it makes it truly fun to watch. I'm glad that you reviewed this one as I was wondering how the bikes would be when I read of this Italian brand yet Chinese manufactured bike.Sounds like that combination is working out pretty well.

[@kkhalifah1019]

Benelli's parallel twin sounds so good, it puts Kawasaki, Honda & Yamaha to shame.

[@ashyxt]

because it's inline twin

[@NinjahPenguinZ]

@@ashyxt what do you think japanese bikes have?

[@ashyxt]

@@NinjahPenguinZ parallel twin, they move up and down alternately, inline twin move up and down simultaneously

[@NinjahPenguinZ]

@@ashyxt i admit defeat

[@ashyxt]

@@NinjahPenguinZ actually, literally, parallel and inline mean the same, but the crank config is different this is Ninja's config, 180 deg kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6uXmZuMfpKkr9E this is TNT300/BN302's 360 deg config kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGabcqaHrdKEapY you can see how it imitates inline4, combustion on every cycle

[@blueflame6289]

Cager’s this review just made me buy the Benelli TNT300 here in India in 2016! His Fun component in this video guess rubbed off too much on me and when I test rode the TNT300 I was in love with the eargasmic sound, the smoothness of the engine and weight which I actually loved. Rev her to the extremes and she screams at even cars to get out of the way, and they do thinking it’s a much bigger engine bike coming up behind. Alas, had to sell her eventually but still carry real fond memories of the rides on her...! Still miss her, my Pocket Tornado.

[@Sulu-sw3zo]

Why did you sell it?

[@blueflame6289]

@@Sulu-sw3zo Had cervical Spondylitis so doctor advised against any heavy lifting etc. so riding was out of question. And no it wasn't due to the bike.... But I ensured that she went into another great home where she's still taken good care of! ☺

[@kaiputtmann7728]

Sounds Like a Superbike in the very high revs, awesome Sound

[@psyclone63]

Very nice review, thanks. I wish I had the Benelli 302 when I first started riding. I'm sure many riders (new and experienced) will enjoy this bike.

[@kenspix]

Benelli has a winner here, we can see the excitement in the rider and he gives a decent review. I have a Kawasaki 650 Vulcan S and this would be a great addition to bang around the city on.

[@Smart.Potato]

Your sheer enthusiasm only made me like the bike. Keep it up.

[@grem100]

Great! Please review keeway rkv 125 and keeway tx 125 I'm thinking about buying one of these

[@nextlevel7790]

Looking at buying a tnt 300 your review is great helped me understand the minute details of the bike.. Thank you, Cheers from India

[@kshitizgautam5412]

But India is a poor country..This bike don't suit..

[@Myke_69]

@Mr.Handsome India is not a poor country...

[@MarceloTancredi0101]

Awesome review Cager! That sound, oh man, that sound!!!

[@ifrit35]

This looks very similar to a kawasaki er6n first gen.

[@kathlos]

Mojo true dat. Exasust rear suspension front headlight and more

[@yannikoloff7659]

it is er6n, stolen

[@antoniocarlosacsjr7128]

And the gas tank too... Even the weight. And other Benelli s too. And I'm glad to see that not only me have seen this.

[@antoniocarlosacsjr7128]

Man, even that awful swingarm, argh...

[@bfarm44]

I am so sold on this bike. And it's available locally at 3999.00 us. I've been watching it for a while. The new model has abs too so it's time. If you think it sounds good stock stuff a Leo Vince on it. I am going to enjoy this quite a lot

[@stevieburrows3953]

love your reviews,take the bike out of the shadows and into the sun for your walk around.Just an observation

[@Garybos100]

wow great vid, I'm looking to buy this bike when I turn 18 in 6 months and your review is the best I have found. thanks for all the info, I am now really looking forward to getting this bike :D

[@doncorleon9]

Well, did you? If so how is/was she?

[@DJ_Dhawz]

Hi Cager, I have this bike in India and they painted the Trellis Frame silver and it looks smashing!!!!! Also the mini fairings extending from the fuel tank is painted green instead of black. Cheers!!

[@BladeRicsi]

what beuautiful roads you have there, you are lucky ...man...

[@280zjammer]

I've rented bikes in Italy. I recommend visiting Italy. The Autostrada is better than the Autobahn.

[@mashhadedibam9822]

booked the 302...thanks for the great review...out here in India this brand is pretty much unknown but your opinions helped

[@victorious4863]

Vi o video com os auscultadores no máximo, que som!!! Mais uma vez, grande video!!!

[@bangyahead1]

I love it: over 12 minutes into the ride he says "Let's try braking." First time on the brakes eh? It's a wonder you're still alive! LOL

[@fallinginthed33p]

Finally, a small bike that doesn't sound like a sewing machine. This thing sounds good! Now how would this compare to the MT-25 or MT-3?

[@SethiSahib]

@Cager Nice capture ... by the way which beautiful city is this was ?

[@michaelevans1658]

Nice review cager of the little benelli.

I would love to be able to download full (original) quality version of your videos. These places are beautiful, but YT video quality is quite low :( Yeah, I know it's not that easy to share such big files :)

[@rraaddiimm222]

in my country they give you an arrow exhaust gratis when you buy the bike :)

[@abbasjonaidi6094]

Due to low profile,I have problem with the middle exhaust pipe.many times it took off especially when I have a back ride.

[@matsauvagea]

That twin sounds excellent

[@pchris5391]

The wheels borrowed from yamaha MT07, chasis from ducatti, swing arm and front lights kawasaki ER6N, exhaust Yamaha Xj6 N, stickers Ktm style... You find the other similarities and share them with the rest of us! Looks like a cheap version of a Kawasaki with parts from other bikes. Braking distance, tyre adherence on wet asphalt, engine, fuel consumption, spare parts, we shall see, time will tell... Still great review, on paper looks great as a beginer s bike

[@GratUp98]

P Chris And that's what makes it beautiful as fuck

[@MarkusReese]

For a beginner you say? 200kg low down is still light and that horsepower is useful for most places and fun depending on balance as you found out! Lastly, it looks so easy to work on so maintenance cost of ownership should be nice!

[@mickeydee3595]

CagerOnTwoWheels could you do a ride and review on the Yamaha R3???

[@julianrose810]

Nice review Cager, I wonder if Rame Moto now they have seen your vlog on the 302, let you out on it again.Only this time out of town. See article in Cycle World on the 302 also autocar Indiathey think it will make a tourer!

would you recommend rc 390 or this ?

I haven't seen you so excited since the Super Duke review. That should say something about this machine,

[@LikeJHS]

I think you should review the triumph street triple! Its an interesting bike that have made a sensation in the past. Havent seen a real "Cager" review on the new street triple

[@ASH-ox3ss]

Hi there Cager... I am a big fan of u.. I would love 2 see ur review on 1. Benelli TNT 600i (Keeway BN 600) & my favourite hooligan machine of all ie. 2. 2016 KTM Duke 690r... I loved ur review of MT 07 & 09 very much... I will wait for the next review of above mentioned bikes.. Hope u will review it soon.. Thanx man in advance.. ;))

[@jonatasferreira6471]

Viva. Tens planos para uma review da Benelli 251? Estou para comprar ao fim de quase 10 anos e bastante indeciso como sempre.

[@barreirak]

Estive a testar esta mota hoje e apaixonei-me logo, um bom ronco grave de motor, boa aceleração, levezinha, bastante manobrável, boa potencia e por este preço não se pode pedir muito melhor

[@Palm9moto]

Can someone explain more about the engine on this? Is it an offset crank or something that makes it sounds like this? Because this is not your ordinary boring twin-cylinder sound! Coming to think of it, it sounds exactly like the BMW F800, which sound resembles a Boxer twin engine! - Sounds amazing, and great review. Really interesting bike!

[@GratUp98]

Palm9 because of the exhaust collector, they put a thing , which I don't know how its called in English. It's basically like the ninja 300 when it gets to higher rpms.

[@ewooll]

@CadgerOnTwoWheels Ignoring the price difference, which is better, Benelli 302 or Yamaha MT-03? Thanks.

[@16bitchris]

I'd like to know too! This or mt03 or duke 390? Im liking all three for different reasons, help!

[@ewooll]

I have done 5000km on my MT-03 and it's great. The engine is torquey for it's size, and it pulls 6th gear from 45kph. The KTM probably has some more oomph, but I saw one in a petrol station, and the engine sounded like a bag of nails, plus the rider couldn't open the filler cap. I have read they overheat too.

[@greekonmoto4393]

Well the thing is , nobody knows if Benelli makes reliable bikes and that is a problem . You definitely don't want a bike that breaks down all the time . Moreover , watch 12:53 , while he is braking the bike starts trembling ... I don't like that ... I would go for an MT-03 or R3 (which alse come with ABS) even though the price difference is big . I saw that you have Mt-03 and I am so damn jealous ! My next bike will be a 300 (MT-03 or R3) or 500 (cbr500 or 500X) , I am not the fast riding kind of guy . Ride safe !

[@Nightzo]

Does Portugal have motorcycle theft problems like other European countries?

[@juicestyx]

Were they Rieju MRT's behind the bike at the beginning? they looked exactly like my MRT pro

[@hellasultras]

So this, or a duke 390?? Which do u prefer?

[@Nostrildomus]

This bikes power band feels like Ducati's 450 DESMO . But that was a long time ago ; -) Thanks

[@MrAlpontino]

Hi. Now that BN302 is equipped with ABS brakes, how would you compare it with Yamaha MT03? I mounted yesterday on one (MT03) and I found it somehow "plastic". I know it is a personal feeling but I feel more attraction for the BN302.

[@miodrag1]

Hi Cager,will you review beneli trk 502?Thank you

[@hartzy2142]

can you review the Benelli 600 ? It too is compliant with the A2 licence restrictions; would make a good review :)

[@barscanturkes7148]

do you guys any idea between this one and tnt 250 ? except cc's

[@davidcollins1853]

Wow! Makes me miss my KeeWay. My KeeWay bike was a German design. Not a POS. I like it.

[@SuhasReddy09]

CagerOnTwoWheels guys take a review of benelli tnt 250 i am planning to buy when it launches in india so i wana know wheather iit is the best choice or not plzz if not recommend me a best bike from 200-300 cc segment

[@pedrogoncalves1372]

Is there any top case for this bike?

[@masterporras88]

nice vídeo! wich one you like the most, MT03 or Benelli one?

[@abbasjonaidi6094]

So I had to take off the entire rear portion of the exhaust system in order to fit the middle exhaust pipe in place.

[@WhiteEyeTree]

+CagerOnTwoWheels I'm asking you because i really like how you think and i completely trust your opinion! I'm really thorn between this one and the mt-03, thoughts? Would be my absolutely first bike.

[@mohamedahmedrizk]

Can you do a review about benelli zenzero 150 ?

[@PruikkiRacing]

Price premium in Finland....6200e..... 6200,00€ Thats why we have oldest cars and bikes in the EU estimated 20 years old cars, recycling them and so on. We got tax so no benelli for me. (Maybe buy a used on for 5000e?) Great channel! Subscribed! Cheers!

[@PL7802]

should i buy this one or the DUKE390? i am also worried about the sound of them both

[@Royal_5665]

Is the engine refined like Japanese bikes

[@osiek999]

Can you review Hyosung gt650r?

[@LonghillDK]

Can u test Benelli TNT600 plz.

[@liamj2363]

I wish Aprilia or KTM or somebody would make a V twin 250-500, all the options are either parallel twins or thumpers. This sounds better than most, but I hate that boring farty sound of most inline 2s. There's the Hyosung GT250, which is a really good bike, but it's very basic and that GS500 frame is heavy. If Aprilia could rework their SXV engine to be more reliable and less maintenance heavy and stick it in something similar to the old RS250's frame with trick suspension it would destroy the rest of the class.

[@laszlokatona573]

Hyosung is exactly that . designed by ducati

Lovely sound of this thing! Good ride review. Good you mentioned duke390, as its faster :) this bike is heavy too unlike 130kg duke. but this one feels different as it seems. Not better, different.

[@ayyyoonick]

in nepal this cost around $8500😢😢

[@turbo311]

360° crank that explains the sound. They also got tricky with the counterbalancing. Too bad it will never make it to the U.S. Seems like a lot of smiles per dollar.

[@SLFYSH]

gear ratios, transmission shifting, brake feel and modulation, clutch operation, torque band? NONE of this was mentioned. It's nice you enjoyed it, -but this is just a joy ride, and NOT a review

[@euricocaldas3303]

Help please! BENELLI BN 302 or HONDA CB 500F ?

[@laeme3199]

Eurico Caldas go for Honda 500,more torque than Chinese built Benelli

[@samseungmagar1201]

which one is better duke 390 ko benelli 302 .

[@XxTheJackass58xX]

Samseung magar tested, saw and thinked a lot about wich one I should've buy. conclusion i Choosed the bn 302, amazing sound, best in category, 2 cylinders, build quality amazing, seems a 700 or more, but man is a frraking 300! duke sound like a blender and seems a hybrid with a motard and a naked. yeah very aggressive look, but in my opinion, bn wins hands down.
