2022 Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail , Maybe Our Next New Motorcycle

Leoncino=little lion.

Nice bike be brilliant for commuting I've been looking at these online, I'm thinking of trading my 2003 triumph speed triple 955i in for a TIGER 800 or 850 when I've my knee replacement operation done

I have benelli imperiale. Done 4500 so far absolutely no probs and honda type starting. Instant. Everytime. 2 mates have em and no probs on theirs either. For the money it's way better than expected.

It's a nice bike. I've been watching vids on the Benelli trk800x that does have Brembo brakes, should be over here end of the year. Great if you have a local dealer.

Simply an epic looking bike.
Selling like hot cakes in Italy where the trk 502x was the best seller in the land a year or 2 ago.
Italian design. Engine from far east. Assembled in Italy? I think?
What isn't made in China now? When did your phone or TV last go wrong??
Like it
Happy travels 👍

Interesting bike…..why not? Always preferred nakeds myself!

Good to see you both again. Got to be honest it's not a good looking bike. But as you say if you're just wanting it to commute then great. But anyway you leave for work in the dark don't you. So no problem there Shaun lad. 🤣🤣🥴🥴🥴🥴 . Take care both and stay safe.

I rode one a couple of weeks back. I was very impressed too. It gets a lick on when you get the revs up the higher end

These Italian badged Chinese made bikes like Benelli, Fantic, Gas Gas seem to be steadily increasing in quality. I’ve got a SV like Fay’s that I use for commuting, it’s just a tool to save money, might look at these or the big CF Moto’s next time round.

Nice bike mate- and to be fair for nearly 8 grand you don’t want for much more 🙌

Mt07

Benelli 😁😘

It looks decent to be fair. As you say great wee commuter, and you could probably hit up a few little trails on the weekend

If I've missed it sorry but did any one mention how much?
Thanks

Hey Shaun looks a nice bike 🏍 where did you get your phone holder ? I’m after one

Everyone to their own and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I don’t like it, but then I’m not going to be buying it. If you like it, then that’s all that matters.🙂

I bought a 2022 Triumph T120 Gold Line 2 months ago just frigging love it. It’s so light and manoeuvrable I kept the Triumph Trophy SE for full blown touring though. Something like a scrambler 1200 XC would fit a bigger guy like yourself🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I don’t think we have that brand in Canada !!!

Almost everything is made in China these days, so why not bikes? The Italian badging adds enough panache to make this bike well worth considering. ATVB

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice bike

I do agree on the electronic and menu and stuff... on my GSA i keep riding mode in dynamic (change to enduro if i go off road, but for what i do it can stay in dynamic, i use it because is there), reset the odometer, and switch the suspension mode if i want to push a little, that's it. I've played with the setting, but at the end is not really something that i use, the only thing that i've wanted to use was the connectivity. But it's quite janky, so i just link the phone to the intercom.
Proof i also own a Z900RS wich has no sub menu, or riding mode and i don't miss any of this!
PS The GS has the function to change from MPH to KPH in the menu somewhere, since you are coming to the continet, it's in there some where...

Why don’t you include your 125s Faye?

Looks like a nice bike great value for money 👍

I didn't know about that model Benelli but think it's well smart Shaun, and if you want a bike it makes sense especially with the toll charges.

Nice looking bike, if the quality is as good as their semi-automatic shotguns you'll have no problems with it.

After your Gran Canaria holiday, I'm surprised you're not considering the NC750X.

Hi Mr and Mrs tins I have benelli 502c for to years now it's feet forward it took a bit of adjusting but got it sorted and it works for me at 71 now I did like the trail but there is a road version to and in the pipe is a 799cc one they are good looking to me

Have a look at the Guzzi V85 shaftie, nice and compact and a bit quirky. Worth a look

Cracking looking bike really like it looks good in that colour but I bet it looks great in black,thanks for sharing mate 👍

Sell you my Honda Dullville 😆😆

Hi don’t know if you remember me when I said I was going to take my mod1 and mod2 a few months back anyway I did and passed,at 67 it’s never too late really enjoy your vids Faye inspired me to go and do it.😍🥰.

Im considering one of these too, the only thing I dont like is the seat, its too short and stumpy.

Longevity? will you have it long to worry?

Looks really nice, although it’s a hefty chunk of cash for a Chinese bike, and I’d be slightly cautious about its depreciation in the long term and how it stands up to life in the winter. If it were me, I’d be thinking that I’m too close to Z900rs money to stop now !😂. Good luck with your decision either way Shaun, beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😉👍.

Hi Shaun & Faye nice looking bike that👍 Back in 1976 my brother bought a new Benelli 2C 250 2 stroke ( fastest 250 available at the time ) hope you manage to do a deal and buy one. Another interesting video as always here’s to the next one 👊

Bikes this size are really Goldilocks bikes: just right. It may be Chinese built for certain but it has quality control that a knockoff doesn't have. Funny I'm old enough to remember how Japanese bikes were considered throw aways and lacked resale value. Well we know how that turned out. Oh, can Fay ride it comfortably too?

I've got a benelli trk 502, love it ! Seen this in the showroom whilst mine was getting it's first service, looks smart

You guys were one of the main reasons I finally pushed myself to start riding. I passed my CBT last month. I'm getting some experience in before going onto my A2 (i'm only 20 so I can't do direct access yet sadly). But honestly, I love it so far! Cheers guys.

Fantastic looking bike love the wheels too. Ride safe

looks a nice bike
certainly different
I will have to consider that
when I passed my full license

Is it heavy? I mean its 224kgs

Great looking bike!!!I think is a very good VFM

This is got to be one of the best looking bikes in the world right now.

Hmmmmm.... Had one of these as a loan bike last weekend. Thoughts? Handles nicely, bit juicy if given the beans and front mudguard was useless. However being 6ft2in and just north of 18 stone after and hour and a half I had to stop for a brief walkabout as I seat is very firm. Did you get one in the end?.. Best, Old Bloke.

That does look impressive, can I also ask what model the blue framed Suzuki was, alongside at the end?

Top review mate, great couple who you could have a great laugh with

I bought a Benelli 502C after a stroke last year and had to sell my beautiful Rocket lll as it was simply too heavy for me, despite my excellent recovery. The 502C is a cracking little bike, nice and low so would suit Faye down to the ground, cheap but so well made decent performance and great handling, similar engine to the 800 Leoncino, but an A2 compliant 500. I've owned many bikes over my 67 years, this is a bike I gelled with straightaway.

Nice video.. can u compare this bike with the SV 650, pros and cons of both bikes

Love your accent mate, great review. Im looking bike for myself, preferably retro classic modern style, something like that. Now, Im a big guy standing 6'4 and 240lbs. Would you say this bike would be too small for me? Cheers, ride safe.
