I bought benelli leoncino 800 as my first ride. She's just beautiful, sound great, and also so comfortable. I'm italian 🇮🇹 and this bike it's a masterpiece designed in Italy. Awesome motorbike

Awesome bike indeed 🤩🇮🇹

[@bezbogov]

What about its weight? You feel confident with that? I'm just trying to decide what to choose between Benelli 800 trail and Yamaha xsr700.

Own a Benelli 752s Euro 4, basically the same engine. Removed the Petrol Charcoal Cannister, removed all hoses associated with it. Fitted a Petrol Tank Overflow Pipe to exit below the engine. Blocked off Inlet Manifold and kept the Solenoid connected, to assist Duel Throttle Bodies and avoid Engine Management Light. Result, a smoother engine that revs out easier with better fuel economy. Engine Idle required adjustment, that's it. Recommend any Benelli owner with this type of emission set up to do the same. A very simple and inexpensive mod to make your bike run better. 👌

I have a 2020 Benelli 302s which I love. In 4,500 miles (US) I've had no issues. Gets nearly 80 mpg (US). I almost bought a 500 standard, but dealer sold it before I got there. I am curious about the long-term reliability of the Benelli line, though, and I suspect resale value will be low.

I like the standard 800 but i love the spoke wheels on the 500 trail. This bike really looks great on spokes. But i think the 500 is to slow for me. Makes we wonder.. do the spoke wheel of the 500 fit the 800?

Cool review. Cheers

[@gmmotomedia]

Thanks 🙏

[@xgalex6191]

Benelli hasn't had my attention as of late. This makes me want to at the very least keep my eye on then because it looks fantastic and is priced fairly aggressively.

[@gmmotomedia]

Really good value for money!

[@jameslovering9158]

How would it suit a taller rider ?

[@danieles511]

Ho comprato la benelli leoncino 800 come mia prima moto. É maschia, muscolosa e bells da ogni angolo in cui la guardi. Il sound pur essendo originale canta molto bene, ed è veramente maneggevole, comoda e divertente.

[@gmmotomedia]

😉🤙🤙

[@sylviorichardson3955]

I really prefer the standard version!

[@gmmotomedia]

Same 😉🤙

[@sylviorichardson3955]

@@gmmotomedia I'm actually planning on purchasing one, specially now that I've watched your video!

[@gmmotomedia]

I'm really glad mate! Keep us up to date 👌

[@oliveroliver7330]

😂😂😂😂 I always watched your videos in Italian ant thought about this one in Italian What the F. Is he doing ? Riding on the wrong side of the road 😂 Great video. I have the 500 which is a jewel. Keep it up 🎉

[@gmmotomedia]

😅 thanks mate I appreciate it!

[@lajkl9198]

How is the pillion comfort

[@gmmotomedia]

It's ok with the stock seat. But I would personally upgrade 👍

[@thodoris3790]

i m between this and xsr700.i like this more,but its made in china.i dont know....can you help?

[@gmmotomedia]

The xsr is a lot lighter but it does feel a bit like a toy I must admit. The Leoncino is more planted and easier on longer trips.

[@danielkerr4100]

Absolutely nothing wrong with things made in china, things made in other countries are no better.

[@bezbogov]

Same questions

[@bezbogov]

So What did you choose?

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

How tall are you bud?

[@gmmotomedia]

6" (183cm) 👍

[@vininio]

Hmm, that exposed water pipe... Is it only me having problem with it?

[@gmmotomedia]

I don't really care too much about it to be honest but I can see how it might annoy other people 😉
