The Benelli 502C is billed as a power cruiser and built on the same 500 cc platform as the Benelli TRK 502 adventure bike, and the Benelli Leoncino 500 urban scrambler. Also described as an "urban cruiser," the Benelli 502C does bear an uncanny resemblance to the Ducati Diavel, down to the short stubby seat, exposed trellis frame, petal discs up front, a longish fuel tank and even the shape of the headlight. The 502C has been available on sale in other markets, but is expected to go on sale in India soon. Here's a look at the top highlights.
