The digital instrument panel console is also totally blanked out and impossible to read when riding under direct noon sunlight.

The rear seat pad is incredibly small and sloped, making it unsafe and extremely uncomfortable for any pillion rider on casual weekend trips.

Additionally, the periodic service charges and spare parts cost at dealerships are way too high for this segment.
Taking tight U-turns on narrow lanes with benelli 502c is a massive task due to poor steering lock angle. Masked weight is heavy during manual pushing.
Exhaust roar is amazing but ownership maintenance cost is very premium. Benelli 502c lacks basic navigation features on dash which cheap small bikes get nowadays.

The network support is tiny in India, and the bike feels way too top heavy to manage easily when you fill its massive 21 liter fuel tank full.

The steering lock turning radius is also too wide, making sudden sharp U-turns a frustratingly difficult chore in daily commutes.
Don't buy benelli 502c if you want to take your wife or family out. Pillion seat is a joke. Performance is linear but bike lacks advanced features like bluetooth.
Ground clearance is fine but rear suspension setup has a very firm edge. Rumble strips and expansion joints are directly transferred to rider spine.
At 216kg benelli 502c feels heavy when handling tight parking spots. Wide handlebars often hit mirror level of small hatchback cars in dense traffic jams.
Cruising above 100kmph on benelli 502c is highly tiring because of heavy wind blast on chest. No stock windshield provided. TFT layout looks a bit childish to me.
The parallel twin engine sounds roaring but buzz vibrations can be clearly felt through handlebar grips and footpegs once you cross 5000 RPM on highway.
Bike performance is decent and looks premium. But Benelli service network in India is very sparse. If you have breakdown in remote location it is big issue.
The rider seat feels great but family cannot sit on that tiny rear pillion pad. Benelli 502c is strictly a solo bike. Service costs and parts are premium price.
Trellis frame and dual exhaust look great on benelli 502c. Safe handling dynamics. Wish service maintenance schedules were more spaced out.
Benelli 502c looks great from outside. However the digital cluster is completely illegible under bright sunlight and the rear mono suspension is stiff over bad village roads.
Light clutch setup helps in bumper traffic. Benelli 502c performance is very tractable. Keep in mind pillion seat is practically useless for adults.
Linear acceleration makes benelli 502c smooth. Ground clearance is surprisingly good at 170mm. Wind protection screen must be bought accessory.
Turns into corners nicely with tyre grip support. Benelli 502c feels heavy while taking sharp slow U-turns due to limited handlebar lock turn.
If you plan to ride solo benelli 502c is awesome. Mass of tank holds road well. Limited dealership reach in tier two cities is a concern.
High attention wherever benelli 502c goes. Brakes offer good stopping feedback. Saree guard looks slightly out of place on this sport cruiser body.
Can cruise lazily at 80kmph all day long. Benelli 502c ride comfort is great for rider. Small dashboard fonts are sometimes difficult to check on go.
Powerful performance coupled with beautiful trellis frame. Benelli 502c gets decent mileage. Service costs are slightly high compared to Japanese rivals.
Headlamp and tail led setup looks superb. Benelli 502c cornering agility is amazing for its wheelbase. Rear suspension preload adjustment needs tool.
Weight helps in maintaining rock solid line on expressways. Benelli 502c engine cooling is brilliant. Wish the pillion grab rail design was better.

Dashboard graphics look beautiful, but the primary toggle selection button plastics feel slightly ordinary and lack a premium tactile click response when navigating options wearing heavy racing leather gloves.Read more
