Benelli 752s Review | You need to hear this...

[@lestersmyth692]

Another excellent offering from Benelli this model had a lot of Italian input more so the engine which at 82hp is not to be dismissed. Some dealers are offering these at around 6.5k a very reasonable price indeed if you’re in the market for a naked bike. Reminds me very much of the Ducati Monster which would set you back an additional 5k so certainly food for thought. Thanks for the review, riders just need to get past the Chinese stigma and start appreciating good value motorcycling again as once was the case with Japanese products and boy did we eat humble pie……..

[@ontheroadadventure]

A good comparison to the monster 👍 I agree, we all need to be prepared to drop this idea of Chinese bikes being completely useless, they have been working on this now for some time

[@trooper64428]

Lovely bike I saw it at the Helsinki motorcycle show, however not cheap at close to €12,000 but still beautiful styling. The whole range were cool looking as it goes all head turners.

[@Drew.Parry-Guitars]

I’ve got one, it’s an amazing machine, no bells and whistles, just me and the bike and the road, does what’s it’s supposed to do, the few extra kilos is reassuring when it’s windy

[@ontheroadadventure]

We tend to agree, we rode cb500x In Sicily and in the wind we felt like we would be blown off the road!

[@AdrianBryan-ps5lw]

I have the 752s and it's a hell of a Bike, I traded in a 2011 Triumph 1050 speedy and apart from a little less outright speed and grunt, my Benelli is every bit as good as my old Triumph was. The Bike is still Italian designed, and now built in China it's still got it's pedigree of old from the old Benelli factory but is now put together at a fantastic price! I can recommend this bike to anyone looking for a mid size naked Sport bike, you will be amazed at it's performance and it's looks.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Unhappy Benelli owners seem hard to find!

[@gavincarey1736]

I have one with just under 2000kms. No problems. Great handling and brakes. Plenty of power in the real world and awesome sounds and looks. The only downside I see is i would loose quite a bit of money if I was to sell it. In hindsight I should probably have bought a low mileage second hand one. I have not regretted my purchase. The only other negative is perhaps it would be nice if the petrol tank was slightly bigger.

[@ontheroadadventure]

In fairness, another great owners review for the Benelli 👍 Have you had to change any parts yet? How is parts availability for it?

[@gavincarey1736]

Not as yet. Just standard maintenance stuff.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Motorcycles for me are all about the noise! It’s such a big part of the experience and Benelli have got this one right! Two years parts and labour warranty shows confidence in their product I guess

[@DimitriLeeBX]

Hope these larger Benellis make it to the States. My wife loves her TNT 135 and I wouldn't mind adding this or Leo 800 to the stable.

Rich also owned the tnt for a while, that bike is loads of fun! Have you seen the TRK models? I’m a big fan of those too

[@merseamoto]

Good looking bike, and it does sound awesome. That exhaust has a lovely rumble.

[@ontheroadadventure]

These Benelli motorcycles feel just as good quality as any other brand now in my opinion. Only downside is that they are heavy but if that means it’s built like a tank then I’m ok with it

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Nice review, thanks for putting it together. I have had my eye on these for a while, and totally agree that the Chinese bikes can no longer be ignored. I did a review on Moto Morini’s Seiemmezzo 650, and (apart from a clunky gearbox), was blown away by it. In fact, in over 45 years riding, it had the best brakes (Brembo) I have ever ridden with. The elephant in the room though, is depreciation, but when you aren’t paying top money in the first place, you can’t complain too much. If I could afford a Benelli 752s, it would be in my stable. Just playing tunes through the air box/exhaust would be sheer joy on a sunny summer’s day. Cheers

[@ontheroadadventure]

I do hope the 702 makes the same noises! I’m waiting to get my hands on a demo one very soon!

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

@@ontheroadadventureI doubt it, the exhaust is so much bigger and restrictive. That was the problem with that Seiemmezzo I took out, the exhaust note was wheezy and uninteresting. The 752s however 😈😂

Oil leaks, piston slap, loose bolts and head bearing (steering wobble) TFT screen failed. Dealers wouldn’t touch the bike as a part exchange. I sold it and bought a Kawasaki Z650 instead.

[@soggybawsmoto]

Its a stunning looking bike, i feel better engineered than the parts bin specials honda's been churning out using the same engine/frame in slightly different chassis formats I really like the trellis frame, the banana swing arm, the silncer and the back lit switchgear, but it isnt hitting the value to take a the risk on a poor dealer network. £6999+ OTR, The Honda CB750 Hornet is only £7299 on the road. If i had an established motorcycle dealer that i trusted on my doorstep supporting the brand it might be worth a punt to be riding something out the ordinary, but there is no price advantage on this one. Its a really nice attempt by Benelli but a missed opportunity. (PS : Line of the year. Dinelli on a Benelli 😂)

[@ontheroadadventure]

So once again, Benelli doesn’t make the sale to you simply because they do not have the confidence of the buyer… They really need to work on destroying the cheap Chinese reputation

[@stevenhoward8792]

The bike looks really nice ,think you mentioned the other day on the TRK review that they are realising a bigger version of the bike ,I'm just thinking is this the engine that would go in it ? , does the quality of the plastics and general fitting feel good quality or not ,must say I'm impressed but just got that nagging feelings about how it's going to hold up after a few thousand miles and a couple of UK winters, what do you think, I'm definitely going to be finding my local dealer if available and checking them out ,definitely worth a look if nothing else. Good video mate .❤

[@ontheroadadventure]

Good question, if this is the engine in the new TRK it will be a real peach! I would say that switch gear feels a little cheap but robust, the bike is heavy in a reassuring way. We wish we could keep these bikes longer and be able to answer these long term review questions with confidence

Be mindful of the residual values before you take the plunge. It's not always the bargain it appears to be. On the flip side, it's great that consumer choice is increasing, though, as bikes, in general, are way overpriced.

Resale value does seem to be a concern for most people, but for me the cost is low enough to offset depreciation

[@trooper64428]

Why do Benelli call it a 752 when it's a 754cc? And why do they call their Leonconi a 800 when it's a 754cc? Quality looking bikes by Benelli seriously considering either the 752 or the 800 as you can pick up 2023 models with no mileage on the clock for a bargain here in Finland.
