Benelli TRK 502 vs Kawasaki Versys 1000 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.

With no cosmetic changes, the 2022 Kawasaki Versys 1000 continues to sport the same dual-LED headlamps, tall visor, massive fairing and long split seats to maximise comfort. Power comes from the same BS6 compliant 1043 cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops 118 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets an assist and slipper clutch. It is a decent sport touring road-oriented motorcycles.
