The perfect first motorcycle? A used bike bargain! The Benelli leoncino 500 is a great first bike. Lots more power than a 125 and not to heavy. Join me for a look around and then as always stay for a test ride. Big thanks to @in2moto480 and @MotoGBofficial for letting me take the bike out. If you’re interested in this bike just follow the link.

    Guys and girls welcome back to the channel I’m back at into Moto in Warrington and I’ve got another bike so let’s just cut to it see what I’m on today let’s Go this is today’s bike so what I’ve got is the Benelli leonino and it’s the 500 I like the look of it if you’ve seen my videos before you know what I’m a bit of a Benelli fan I like them what not to like generally they are well made and a

    Good price this I will say is a used bike 3 four years old depending when it was registered so it is a used example but if you have a look around this bike with me you will see it’s not falling apart like people say about Chinese bikes it actually looks mint this bike

    So let’s just have a look around it now having had some feedback recently when I’ve said look around the bike somebody said you don’t even look around the bike you don’t go a full way around it so I’ve not been able to see it all so

    Going to start off doing that going to give you the full 360 good enough water around for you yet so we have got the standard lanino exhaust on this I think my microphone went off while while I was sat on it it has got an 815 mm seat height for your reference I’m 5’8 if you’ve not watched

    The videos before and yeah it fits me really well pretty much flat foot let’s go through the buttons obviously not got microphone on now so the sound might be a bit n so apologies for that but what we’ve got is your horn your indicators your high low

    Beam and your flash right hand side you’ve got your engine start you’ve got your hazards you’ve got your engine stop start so I’m having a bit of a myr today I thought everything was nicely charged up but my wireless microphone setup wasn’t let’s see what this sounds

    Like ooh nice little Rumble this bike is a few years old looks like a brand new motorbike this there’s no signs of corrosion or anything like that just not used very much over the last few years let me give it a little bit of a REV you can tell it’s got the standard

    Exhaust on it’s got the standard cannon with Euro compliance always destroys the sound I think thank the Lord for aftermarket exhausts no I’m not getting all religious on yet I’m just saying woohoo oh W Cobble test nice little Cobble test this bike really does remind me of the royal

    Mfield Hunter 350 that’s what I’m going to compare it to today it is a similar price to the hunter currently it is a very similar price to it but power-wise this has obviously got a little bit more of a kick when you think the hunter is that little 350 or

    340 whatever it is that Royal Enfield do this has got the 499 cc engine so it has got a little bit more power to it and it’s 48 horsepower as well I’m pretty certain the Hunter’s only 30 something it will have a little bit more

    Hurry up use available to you what I do like at the minute though just noticing the simple things like just on the bends and taking your turns it sticks to the road really nicely just like now you’re just gliding around the bend and it just gives you

    Loads of confidence straight away and if you are new to ride in and you’re looking for a bike that’s not too big it’s actually not a bad starting point this don’t panic I am in kilometers I must have pressed the button on the walk Round that’s put me

    In kilometers but that’s what I like about these digital screens you can swap them from Miles hour to kilomet with just a button press I just can’t remember which one it was so for now I’m just going to deal with it ooh a little bit windy now

    Obviously there is no furing to speak of there’s no wind protect SE it is just a little Naked Bike I wouldn’t call it a naked sports bike because I’m not in any sort of sports position I’m sat up nice and straight so far so very very very good again roundabout let’s see what

    It’s like a little bit of a lean is a really nice bike to throw around the bends I will find me a nice speed limit road so I can pick the speed up a little bit just to see what it’s like the seat is not the most comfortable seat in the world I

    Mean it’s all right it’s acceptable but I’m finding myself sliding forwards a little bit towards the tank like there’s a bit of a decline on it and then when you get closer to the tank it doesn’t feel as plush so I just keep having to shuffle myself back in the seat I don’t

    Know if that stand for this bike I don’t know if you’ve got one let me Know the brakes are nice and firm as well front and back seem to work really really well I will compare them a lot to the hunter it just has the same kind of feel to it I know they don’t look the same but like the seating

    Position and where my legs are and stuff It just fits me like a glove this one is obviously a little bit bigger comparing it to the hunter this is a little bit taller it’s got a little bit more power so the top speeds a little bit better

    The horsepower has got a little bit more it’s it’s kind of just a little bit more it’s a bit more modern looking than what the hunter is I think the hunter is meant to be like a modern classic whereas this is a modern looking bike

    Isn’t it it is a nice bike to ride but and stupidly on I don’t know you tell me if I’m being stupid but we’ve decided to go on a little bit of a mini tour so we’re just heading over into France in March so that video is going to be

    Coming soon but I’m going to try and do it a little bit different to what I normally do make sure you come back for that because it might be fun there’s a group of us going I’m excited just to have a little bit of a breakway and it’s nice to do it

    Outside of summer as well we’re on Nationals let’s give it a Twist no it is not a sports bike you know it isn’t for if you’re new to rideing this is I think a really good place to start you just looking at having a bike for a couple of years and

    You want something that’s going to be fast enough loads of fun can’t get my words out took my breath away on that little straight yeah it is loads of fun this bike and it’s got enough power to keep you smiling this bike is a brilliant a brilliant

    Little starter bike and and I’m not trying to put it down by saying that it is only a 499 CC but if you are new to biking if you are just starting that biking Journey if you’re just at that point where you want something a little bit bigger than the

    125cc then this this is a nice Step Up in comparison to a smaller 125 bike this will feel absolutely rapid and you will have a couple of years experience riding this bike and it will really help you to then take your next step for something bigger

    Or if you are you know and it happens to us all probably happened to me sooner than a lot of people watching but when we get older we look for something a bit lighter a little bit more manageable and this I think fits that criteria as well because it is a very it

    Feels like a very light bike to throw around again one of the reasons I love the Royal Enfield Hunter very light bike as well more than capable for getting at the front of the the traffic lights and not holding anything up so if you are downsizing something

    Like this would be a nice addition or a nice change for you very very light and chable I like it but if you’re new to riding it also fits that brief as well in that you can do Motorway speeds on this and then some anybody who follows

    The Benelli brand anyone who looks at the Benelli brand you would know that this is what I would call one of the more premium bikes that come out of China the quality on these bikes is it brilliant uh I wouldn’t say brilliant but I would say good everybody’s

    Budget’s different and if you can only stretch to you know a little over Β£32,000 you’re going to get a very good bike if you were to choose something like this cuz I know that there are 125 motorbikes that cost more than the cost of this and this has got so few miles

    On being less than 400 miles it is a you know pretty much a new motorbike isn’t it I mean when do you do your first service normally somewhere around the 600 mile Mark well this is probably not had its first service or it’ll probably have its first service imminently if it’s not already

    Had it got really low miles really low miles it’s got like pre-registered bike low miles yes there are cheaper bikes out there of course there are yes there are very much more expensive bikes out there but for a new rider for somebody just getting into bikes somebody wanting

    To downsize somebody just looking at getting a little run around a little town bike a commuter something to just have a little bit of a weekend play on I think it’s a very very good option a great choice I’m going to have this as a used bike bargain in fact Barely Used

    Bike bargain because that that’s the thing it’s 3 4 years old been barely used and now it’s up for sale at into Moto for somebody else to have the pleasure of owning it is about to start raining it looks like it’s going to team down on me

    So yes I’m going to take it back into into Moto and the guys and girls in there can get it all prepped and ready to go back in the showroom it’s a fun little thing that so it is available add into Moto definitely worth considering a very underused but a bik bargain

    Nonetheless so yeah Link in the description as always if you’re interested then follow the link and that’s going to do me I will catch you all on the next one [Applause] Laters

    1. Certainly bang for buck . And wipes the floor with the hunter tbh on the bhp front , is the build quality as good , theres not alot between them i dont think..

    2. Not got or ridden a Benelli yet but I have been following what they do for ages and I have had a close look at various bikes and I have to say they are not far behind or equal to some of the major brands products,.they also have a very interesting range of machines and more to come soon, they are selling the 500 TRK by the container load in Europe where brand snobbery isn't so much of an issue and value, reliability etc are what people want so obviously they are doing something very right
