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.

    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.

    A Smooth Cruiser with Quirks 

    After longing for a powerful cruiser, I went ahead and purchased the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650. This beast of a bike, with its 648 cc parallel twin engine, roars to life with a charisma that turns heads. The engine's 47 horsepower makes highway cruising an absolute joy and the bike's torque heavy nature means you are never wanting for power.The Shotgun 650's design exudes a modern classic vibe, standing out in any crowd. However, the bike's weight at around 205 kg, can be a bit uneasy to handle in heavy traffic or tight spaces.

    Most powerful bike 

    This bike is highly comfortable also on the bad roads and the main reason to buy this bike is the high powerful engine with smooth performance and is very quick with the excellent sound of this bike but the clutch is on the heavy side. The mileage it gives is around 22 to 30 kmpl and with handling it is a fun bike and on the highway it performs very impressive but is not for great commuter bike. The braking is pretty good and powerful and it stand for style with nice engine and is a comfortable bike with good practicality.

    The torque of 52 Nm is perfectly tuned  

    After months of waiting, I finally got my hands on the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650. Right out of the dealership, this bike screams 'beast' with its robust 648cc parallel twin engine that pushes out about 47 horsepower. Riding it through the city streets and on highways has been nothing short of exhilarating. The torque of 52 Nm is perfectly tuned for those quick overtakes and the bike comfortably cruises at high speeds without much vibration, a common annoyance extra point I have found in previous Royal Enfield models.

    Strictest sense 

    I've been tearing up the tarmac on the royal enfield shotgun 650, And let me tell you, It's a head-turner.Sure, It ain't a cruiser in the strictest sense, But that 650cc thumper packs a punch, Zipping from 0-100 in a breezy 6.5 seconds.Mileage hovers around 25-30 kmpl, Decent for its muscle.Handling's surprisingly nimble, Thanks to the smaller front wheel and punchy torque.Lean too hard, Though, And those mid-set pegs scrape.Build quality feels solid, With nice attention to detail.Service costs? well, It's a royal enfield, So parts are affordable, And the engine's pretty damn reliable.Verdict? a blast for the buck, This shotgun.It's got character, Performance, And a price tag that won't leave you shell-shocked.Just watch your cornering angles!.
