    Adventure with Refined Performance 

    The Benelli Leoncino 500 offers a strong and tasteful ride while adroitly combining traditional fineness with an audacious personality. It's applicable for both off- road adventure and megacity transportation thanks to its important 500cc Mechanism, which guarantees a fostering and smooth interpretation. The motorbike has a feeling of Classic fetish and coincidental rigidity thanks to its retromodern two wheeler and affable running. Although its dualchannel ABS increases security, further wind keeping for whirlwind ride might make it indeed more comfortable. A demesne of everlasting adventure, the Benelli Leoncino 500 honors dynamic prowess and Italian artificer.

    Eye catcher 

    Great bike to own. love the sound. rev happy engine. 1 month/2000kms review:pros:- great handler can totally lean into corners with confidence.- perfectly balanced.- looks amazing, eye catcher for sure.- sound is blissful.- doesn"t show it"s weight when you want to filter through the traffic.- breaking is very confidence inspiring.- switchable abs is handy when you want to slide into corner and have some fun.- happy cruiser, will maintain 100-120kms in 6th gear with ease at low rpm and very light throttle.- excellent heat dissipation better than Harley Davidson 750 Street/Street rod.cons:- fuel efficiency is okish but not great. To get the best fuel economy you have to ride between 2000rpm-3500rpm, which is not really fun. I got 16-20kmpl in the city and on the highway it was around 24-25kmpl.- ground clearance is good enough but when you have a pillion who is more than 70kg then all the sharp speed bumps are a big nightmare.- maintenance cost is subjective - every service cost around 6k rupees.- gets heated up when stuck in traffic because of surrounding heat generated by all the vehicles but doesn"t get hot enough to burn or make you run away from the bike.

    Riding experience 

    The best riding experience i ever had is on gt 650.It has amazing power and aggressive sitting posture.It is the best in the segment.Talking about mileage it is pretty good for a 650 cc engine and it has a very good road presence.If you buy any colour you need to maintain it very carefully.If you buy mr.Clean you need to be extremely cautious as it is the top colour and you need to clean it daily.

    Cylinder bikes 

    What is it? a nod to the stripped-down cafe racers that zipped around london in the 1960s, The 2021 royal enfield continental gt 650 is a new bike with throwback style and a warmly rumbling heart — an air-cooled, 648cc parallel twin engine.Is it new?yup, But it’s been in the works for a minute.Royal enfield announced its first twin-cylinder bikes since 1970 — the int 650 and the continental gt 650 — in the fall of 2018.The third editions of both bikes hit dealers this past fall, And we finally got some seat time in november 2020.What makes it special?if i may be shallow for a moment, One thing that really stands out about this bike: its looks.The compact curves, Bubbly gas tank and shiny chrome are simultaneously gorgeous and delightfully retro.They combine to recall a simpler time, When we didn’t need fancy electronics, Touchscreens and gps to saddle up and hit the open road.You know a bike has nailed that vibe when multiple people ask how old your bike is — and are gobsmacked when you tell them it’s new.
