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.

    feel the peace through the air 

    One of the best rides is that provides endless facilities and functions in all aspects. This does not only make journeys comfortable but also worth the drive. Suzuki V-Strom 650XT is one of a kind that suits perfectly and seamlessly into the category of an ideal bike. I got this for a very decent price and my buying experience was pleasing. The exterior is bold yet beautiful and interior has smooth functioning. I use this vehicle for all my needs and purposes and it is now a part of my daily commute. I suggest this model for others too.

    V-Strom Adventure, 650XT Exploration. 

    Every Tour I take on my Suzuki V- Strom 650XT is More distant than Clearly aride. Adventure awaits once the V- Strom's versatility is unlocked. This adventure tourer has objects beyond long hauls traveled. It all comes down to carrying it out in the audacious and adjustable manner that the V- Strom range is known for. The V- Strom 650XT's inured Design and off- road capabilities make everyride a statement of true adventure. It's not Clearly a bike. The V- Strom 650XT is a hallmark of a rider's spirit of disquisition because of its versatility, which ensures that everyride offers an occasion for commodity new.

    Adventures bike 

    The V-Strom 650XT offers comfortable highway riding and a smooth shifting gearbox and operates incredibly well at low speeds and is a pleasure to drive in urban areas. It has a large fuel tank and gets about 25 kmpl of mileage and comes with semi-digital instrument panel and tubeless tyres, but the panel is old. Along with dual-channel ABS and a three-level traction control system, the braking performance is excellent. It has a refined engine, and its parts designed for adventure make it useful and have a large appearance.
