                • Benelli Leoncino 500

                  • The neo-retro styling of the bike is very unique and gives it a distinct look
                  • The engine offers linear acceleration and the power delivery is quite easy to manage
                  • The wide handlebars offer really good leverage and makes handling quite easy

                  • Looks beautiful, easily the best looking bike in the segment
                  • Fantastic fit and finish levels, makes it feel like very premium bike
                  • 650cc engine is easy to use in the city and very capable on the highway
                  • Handles quite well for its 240kg kerb weight

                • Benelli Leoncino 500

                  • Engine feels underwhelming compared to the TRK 502
                  • ABS intervention is a bit too high when riding at slower speeds
                  • Misses out on a lot of features

                  Royal Enfield Shotgun 650

                  • 240kg kerb weight can be felt at slow speeds or when moving the bike around in parking lots
                  • Ride quality is far from good. People under about 75kg will be tossed around a lot
                  • Given its weight and size, it should’ve had at least a basic traction control system for more safety

                  A Worth Look.
                  The Leoncino 500 is a bike I recently purchased and have been enjoying. After riding it for a while I can say the Leoncino 500 delivers on its promises. The 500cc parallel twin engine provides plenty of low and midrange torque for zipping through traffic and cruising the highway. The classic scrambler styling looks great and the comfortable seat and upright ergonomics make it easy to ride for long periods. If you want a stylish, easy-to-handle middleweight naked bike with decent power The Benelli Leoncino 500 is worth a look.

                  Fantastic Experience
                  The Benelli Leoncino 500 has converted the standard delicacy and vitality of the highway that I'm familiar with. Because of its iconic 2-wheeler and robust ministry, every elevator offers a novelettish and significant experience. Its ultramodern features and slice and bone functionality give a flawless and active interpretation on all fronts. monumental commands and first-rate inductions give a gratuitous caste of luxury, making every ride affable and stirring, whether it's a whirlwind assist or a belated ride. The Benelli Leoncino 500 has surfaced as the classic of archetypal fineness and I like it more, setting new norms for what a true archetypal sedan can achieve in tenures of honey and interpretation.

                  The Stylish Bike
                  The Benelli Leoncino 500 is a stylish and versatile bike designed to provide a great riding experience. With its 500cc engine, it offers a balanced combination of power and agility for various riding situations. The thing that sets the Leoncino 500 apart is its modern and classic design, making it suitable for both city rides and longer trips. However, it may not have the high-end power and features of more expensive bikes, but it offers a good and stylish ride for those searching for a balance between style and performance.

                  Worth it..
                  This is an excellent bike and had great fun riding. The back seat is include along with the bike. Had 1250km run including office travel and long rides and it has been fun doing both. Great comfort. The sheet metal grey gives a batmobile feel and experience. Looks damn good without the back seat, I generally carry it in my backpack.

                  Review on Shotgun 650 (best in segment)
                  The reason I buy this bike was to get a reliable bike with price range up to 5 lakh, and I wanted a comfort and a good looking bike, so rather than getting GT 650 I chose this, and honestly I didn't regret my decision. Its a bike with comfort and power. Even Super meteor is there but that is more suitable for Long ride. So for shorter and comfy ride I chose Shotgun 650. Talking about positives, Really good looking bike, you we be the centre of attraction. Royal Enfield reliable engine with one of the best performance in this segments. Gives confidence on high speed. Talking about the Negatives, its a Heavy bike, so not suitable for every person, heating issue, not a major issue as this is ha heavy bike and so this is common. Yes, a person who want a good looking bike with a satisfying mileage and comfort and suitable for city rides. Even a person who want long tours with this bike is also possible but still there are better touring bike with this price range.

                  Best bike under 5 lakh .
                  This looks very cool on road. I'm impressed by his looks, and it come with 650cc engine. It gives me extra attention on road. I also looked for re super meteor650 but I personally love this one. It's seat height, exhaust everything is amazing. It's feels very comfortable while riding. I went for long ride with this bike around 130 km from patna to my home town it felt so comfortable. However, the mileage is less It gives u around 17 - 18 per litre. I personally recommend this bike to people age above 25 because it is a strong machine with heavy weight. Even this bike is so stable but it needs power to handle. It's gives u old bullet vibe with extra features and power overloaded .
