Benelli TRK 502 vs Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Comparison

The performance, while not exhilarating, is very good and there is no doubting the touring ability of these motorcycles. Also, there is decent amount of kit and switchable ABS on offer as well. More than anything else, it is the road presence which will catch the eye of a potential buyer. Yes, it has its share of flaws (we would have liked more power OR less weight) but pricing is sweet and it has the potential to do well for Benelli in India.

The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX remains one of the most accessible litre-class full-faired offerings on sale and the in-line four-pot motor makes for a highly likeable highway companion. Powered by a 1,043 cc liquid-cooled, four-pot motor that develops 140 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 111 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm, the bike has a lot of electronic aids including ABS, cruise control, three-level traction control, Kawasaki Cornering Management function, quickshifter and more.
