Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is best Benelli TRK 502 or Versys 650?
  • I think, there was a comparison video done by Overdrive.. Check in YouTube. Being a Versys 650 owner, I would not prefer TRK502 due to its weight, under power engine, reliability issues and past history of the brand Benelli in India. You must look between V-Strom 650 and Versys 650 if you are in market to buy one.
  • At present, it would not be possible to provide a fruitful comparison as the TRK 502 is yet to be launched. So we would suggest you to wait till the brand reveals the complete details of the TRK 502. Stay tuned.

    A Reliable Companion with a Few Quirks 

    After using my Hero Passion Plus for over a year now, I feel well equipped to share my genuine experiences. This bike boasts a solid build and a reliable 97.2 cc engine, which for me has been quite fuel efficient, offering around 60 to 65 km/l. This is particularly commendable given the stop and go traffic in Indian cities.The bike's lightweight design at about 112 kg makes it easy to handle, specially for new riders. The ride quality is generally smooth, although I have noticed it struggles a bit on uneven roads where the suspension could definitely do better.

    it is an attraction magnet 

    The Hero Passion Plus is a popular and budget-friendly 100cc bike known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and affordability . I feels that it does not provides much power for highway rides .It is powered by a BS6 compliant, 97.2cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This offers sufficient performance for navigating city traffic and occasional short highway rides. However, the Passion Plus is known for its good fuel efficiency, it is my partner in my rides in college days

    Good mileage and good power 

    The next level power it gives and to ride this bike it is amazing but the price of this bike is high. It gives good confidence while riding and is a great commuter bike and the seat height is very good for the short riders and also comes with the USB charging port. The suspension is very good and the brakes is very nice also the engine refinement is very good without any vibration. The resale value of this bike is very good and the mileage it gives is around 55 to 60 kmpl.

    Timeless Elegance and Efficient Commuting 

    " The appropriate two words that can captivate the riders of the Hero Passion Plus are its vintage looks and its goal-oriented usability. People like the vehicle for its compact size, powerful engine, the ergonomics that makes it look more stylish and at the same time a great friend out there during a drive. The actual product features including the alloy wheel, electric start, and lots of storage space that got high rating. Meanwhile on the negative aspects, they note that their emails could use better suspension on rough roads and suggests improvements in braking systems to add safety."

    Stock tyres 

    Its a very good touring machine mostly tarmac friendly.The stock tyres are useless so as the stock headlight.The seat height is the biggest concern also the seat is wide which makes more comfort but flat footing both side impossible for anyone below 5.10.The ride quality and comfort is wonderful and i wish it had traction control which will make is a good allrounder.I can tell you that versys is one of the best touring bike currently available in market at this price band.If someone is looking for a good tourer for road use then versys is the best bet and if you are looking for bit of off-road then v-storm 650 looks better.
