Benelli 502C vs CFMoto 650GT Comparison

The Benelli 502C is a power-cruiser whose styling certainly seems inspired by the Ducati Diavel. The Benelli 502C uses the same 500 cc parallel-twin, DOHC, 4-valve engine as the Leoncino 500 and the TRK 502 and it makes 46.8 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 46 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Although it promises a solid new-age cruiser with looks at a lower price point, the Benelli 502C however fails to impress, both in terms of performance as well as dynamics.

The CFMoto 650 GT is aimed at those who like touring and comes with a sharp fairing, LED lights, two riding modes - Touring and Sports, and a 5-inch TFT instrument display. The model is also packed with a USB charging port, 12V power outlet and a contoured seat for added comfort. The bike draws power from the 649.3 cc twin-cylinder engine that develops 55.65 bhp at 8250 rpm and 54.4 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm. It is priced at Rs. 5.59 lakh (ex-showroom).
