A Classic Roadster
The Benelli 502 C deserves its headline Benelli 502 C is a Classic Roadster as it delivers a classic retro roadster riding experience. Power comes from a 500cc parallel-twin engine that offers plenty of torque for easy riding around town as well as highway cruising. Ergonomics place the rider in an upright and comfortable position with mid-set footpegs and pulled-back handlebars. The round headlight, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and single seat give it that timeless roadster look that never goes out of style.
