[@powerdriftofficial]

Hello #NotificationSquad. Here are our first ride impressions of the Benelli 302R. Would you choose it over its competition?

[@Cristopher-S.G]

Power Drift is definetly the best youtube channel for motorcycle reviews

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you so much for the compliments Slorm! :)

[@filiciaous]

i know you guys usually don't do this , but i have been watching this video everyday from its day of release, The music score and the shots at 4:11, the location selection - I need a second ride or something maybe of the Red and silver variant. You guys need to do this - Cuz this is just mystical. Need one more surge of adrenaline rushing watching this bike again. And this is the 1000th comment

[@vinithkumar7245]

This guy knows how to respect a manufacturer. And that product..

[@hrishik64]

This is an example of a bike which is much more than just the 0 to 100 time or weight, and you will either love it or hate it. And if you love it, nothing else in this segment will do.

[@Ranveer_Singh_Kahani]

Benelli had a nice sound even with standard exhaust...

[@mrrex3668]

Without you PowerDrift is just a Drift...They lost their Power...Your review is outstanding...Your voice make me want to watch more but sadly you left... I hope You'll come back soon... 🤗

[@swarooprajchowhan]

I just love the way you describe things mate. I love watching your videos the music the videography the editing every single thing is perfectly to its point.

[@himanshugarg7109]

Sergeant is the hands down best bike reviewer I have ever seen ☺️

[@TheRealCristianLuca]

Love the quality of the review more than the bike.

[@sashman904]

gr8 review.m frm Nepal.I hv got the same colour 302r.its definitely a sports tourer.its luxurious n has less vibrations thn rc390.rc390 is a track focused bike.it has its own legacy.Jst done 2800+kms.riding solo I easily reached 149kmph in short distance,which I didn't expected due to its super heavy weight.it still wants to make u rev more, even in 149kmph.very stable bike.though brakes aren't tht gud.overall its comfortable and economic sportsbike.30Km+ per litre fuel economy.nice midrange and high range pickup.smooth ride.last week I reached 142kmph wit ease in double load.cudnt twist more due to traffic.till nw totally satisfied

[@harmainsakagea]

Sashank Lohani i think the problem about the brake is the fluid pipe pump, try to change it with aftermarket and see how it's changed..

[@sashman904]

@@harmainsakagea front fluid pump hd to been replaced and they did so. But tht same kinda stock one.

[@nabarunghosh20]

Thank you for Your Honest Review. Not Every One Does That. Under 4.5 Lakhs, Nothing can beat the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and the Rc 390.

[@Romkosss]

Amazing review! Visual + sound effects 👌

[@jeffhart2466]

#NotificationSquad ...The video title says "First Ride".. , but still much more comprehensive & entertaining than other review channels.. #PowerDrift .. the best team

[@powerdriftofficial]

Haha! Thanks Jeff!

[@anunayvatsal]

I can say that, its perfectly made for India. Comes with Abs as standard. And we all tourers want our bike comfortable rather than out right performance. R3/Ninja missed abs and the tyres and Adjustable levers too. Which Benelli gives at a pretty decent price. Instrument panel has always been a sore piont in Benelli. Request - Do a 2-3 day shootout between R3/Ninja300/tornado302. Make a review which is practical and helps the tourers to decide which one to go. Also mention Service intervals/spares cost and FE. As always PD rocks.

[@anunayvatsal]

RIDERS GOT TALENT true. But as a twin cylinder lover. And for the awesome sound! CBR no doubt is still the best tourer. Only if Honda introduces the international version in India.

[@anunayvatsal]

Baby Fireblade Is it that bad! Let's wait for more reviews.

[@MachoBiker]

Fantastic review! Totally honest first impression n exactly what I felt when I test rode the bike! Love you guys! #PDarmy

[@ebindbz500]

Die hard fan of benelli 302r😍

[@pratyushghotge4916]

Okay, first of all, Sarge kills it when it comes to reviews!! And unlike most indian reviewers, Powerdrift has a way of telling people the pros and cons of the bikes/cars without sounding biased and that is one hell of a feat! I liked how the Benelli looks and sounds, but I think what it lacks basically is the reputation R3 and Ninja carry with them.. I don't know whether I should depend on Benelli when I can easily afford a Kawi or a Yamaha without much effort.

[@newtonneogi7771]

Benelli is a passing phase, true love is KTM RC :)

[@veereshpanchal4265]

Om Namo Powerdrift ;) You guys deserve Big Thumbs up, what a editing, camera work and all stuffs.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Haha! Thank you Veeresh! :)

[@sashman904]

I am from Nepal and I own the same silver green 302r 2018.Its a fantastic bike.i hd done 170 kmph with ease.No other bikes in it's segment gives you the feel of bigger superbike.gearbox is too lik a bigger superbike.it pulls even in 6th gear from the speed ok 30kmph.when you twist the throttle it sounds breathtaking.heating is managed verywell.solid build quality.smooth and stable in high speeds.gud mid-range pickup. yes it is unnecessarily heavy.almost 200kgs,though it performs verywell.Yo get the most luxurious feel in 302r.it isn't fully track oriented machine.its a lil superbike sports tourer.Its the most head turner bike in it's class

[@sashman904]

@G Joeye I purchased in 7.5 lakhs. Last year price hiked and now it costs around 9.45 lakh

[@janukakarki6551]

@Bhatnagar Benni we have 2x more taxes than India while importing luxury bikes

[@senthilv7488]

@Sashank Lohani How about rear view mirror and head lights performance at night.?

Breath taking and adrenaline rush shots.. i would love to say its Top gear equivalent from India (Only Power drift Bike )

[@sohelighosh6414]

Hands down to power drift..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏keep it up..

[@r.ramanmohanty8911]

This man is doing wrong comparison. 302r is not a track machine , it's a sports tourer . So it's pointless to compare it with R3 or ninja. And as a entry level sports tourer it's the best one.

[@ssvlogs3246]

Dude Ninja & R3 are also sports tourer only the rc 390 is a track machine...ninja and r3 have relaxed seating posture not too much engaging...🤘

[@samramg]

You guys nail the videography every time ! I'm about to cry >_< bravo !! Those angles, the panning, slo-mo, editing, color grading..just Perfect

Hey thanks Pratik! Do remember to share it as well!

[@surenderdhanashekaran257]

R3 is definitely a stunner in the 300cc segment, no way its near it. Do talk about the comparison of power delivery and ex showroom prices of all 300+ cc bikes.

[@prithvirajks602]

first comment by me ..... I'm back.. love watching you're reviews.. best on KZbin I think #PDarmy

[@haripraji]

among ben 302r, r3, ninja 3 and rc 390... hands down to the sound of benelli motor..gives the feeling of that engine growls which is simply music to the ears. but... yes there is a but...unfortunately it doesn't perform​ as good as the other three.. Infact apart from sound there is nothing much I would like to invest on.. personal choice is r3 followed by Ninja 300 any day given these 4 choices...

They should have kept it in range of 2.7 to 3 lakh for figures of engine outputs and considering hard competition and also service availability .... R3 is the best choice at this moment

This is the Pulsar RS200 of it's segment.The power kicks in late,Heaviest in the segment, Versatile sports tourer,ABS and the sound.But,it doesn't do justice with the price for that matter.It could've been 50-60k less. P.S-R3 on any certain date.

[@exhibitit724]

beslin varghese ok sir surely..thank you for you advice .

[@saygr8]

I had to comment on this one because i am in love with this one just because of the way it looks. Definitely it's not an outright performer like rc or a perfect balance like the r3, or maybe even not trendsetting like the ninja. But this is the "Perfect" amalgamation of an "old looks meets new" ideology. I mean how beautiful does it look! I seriously can't get my eyes off of it. My only problem with the look would be in some shots the faring seems to be a bit disconnected between the handles and the mask. Leaving a bit of space. It just looks bad for a bike this good looking. But this is just nitpicking and moreover, just my opinion. And when Sergeant asks for a like. You better love it, because this one is worth it! In love with powerdrift for all this awesomeness!
