# details


Benelli TRK 502 adventure motorcycle has been spotted testing in India for the first time. The motorcycle was unveiled at the 2016 Auto Expo and the India launch is expected by early 2019. 

There had been various reports in the past hinting at its launch in India and it was expected to debut here in early 2018. However, Benelli’s separation from its previous partner, DSK Motowheels, resulted in a halt in its India operations which in turn delayed the launch of the TRK 502 till now. Now, the company has partnered with the Mahavir Group and is set to restart operations in India soon. 

The Benelli TRK 502 in the pictures is an off-road version with spoke wheels and dual-purpose tyres. The company also has a road-biased model but that will come here at a later stage. The adventure version rides on a 19-inch spoke wheel on the front and 17-inch wheel at the rear. It gets 50mm upside down front forks and adjustable rear monoshock while braking is handled by a pair of 320mm front discs and a 260mm rear disc along with the dual-channel ABS.

The Benelli TRK 502 is powered by a 500cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that churns out 47bhp of power and 45Nm of torque. This motor works in unison with a six-speed gearbox. It sports a 20-litre fuel tank for longer range while the crash guards, pannier frame and luggage carrier add to its touring credentials.
The motorcycle is expected to be priced between Rs 5 lakhs to Rs 6 lakhs and it will compete with the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT in India.

Location: India

Kawasaki Vulcan s 2019

motorcycles which are quite different from them big American cruisers However, ever since the 1980s the Japanese big four have been serious in their meddling around in the cruiser territory and it is here that we were first introduced to the Kawasaki Vulcan. Starting in 1984 with a 750-cc and moving through a number of engine capacities along the way, even going up to 2,053 cc Today the Vulcan name is on three models: 900, 1700, and the one we shall talk about here, the 650-cc Vulcan S Design :  The Kawasaki Vulcan S reminds me a little of Harley-Davidson's V-Rod as far as the flow of the tank, with an all-new round-pipe perimeter frame. The motorcycle has a low, long, and meaty stance that looks all business. Aggressive business. Starting from the headlamp, the motorcycle's lines flow well across the modern-styled analogue tachometer and LCD display, the tank, and up to a comfortable wide seat that sits low. The passenger seat sits higher and

Yamaha Ténéré 700

The Japanese middleweight adventure bike is a genuine dual-purpose delight.. and it's knocked-up in an old moped factory in France.       P roper bike the Ténéré 700. It's one of those machines that's just 'right. From the brilliant balance of its chassis and perky performance of the 689cc parallel twin, to the luxuriously-damped suspension and flimsy build quality, Yamaha's middleweight adventure bike is reassuringly complete. Its off-road prowess doesn't detract from its tarmac skills, and road requirements don't impair its ability to romp along a Welsh mountain trail - and it's noticeably classier than Yamaha's other MT-07-derived models, too It's why the Ténéré blitzed our epic eight-bike adventure test in th November 2019 issue.          And, of course, the Yamaha has an attractive price. Despite all the quality and reliability you'd expect from a leading Japanese brand it's a sniff over £9000 on the road. While this means it's t
