Here’s what else you can get for Rs 4.79 lakh
Here’s what else you can get for Rs 4.79 lakh
Update: We have ridden the Leoncino 500. You can read the complete road test review here.
The Benelli Leoncino is priced at a really sweet spot of Rs 4.79 lakh (ex-showroom India). Although it is not the most affordable mid-capacity motorcycle in the country, only a few motorcycles are similarly priced. Your options are pretty much limited if you have a sub-Rs 5 lakh budget. Here are the other motorcycles that you could look at:
CFMoto 650MT - Rs 4.99 lakh
A 650cc parallel-twin adventure tourer at under Rs 5 lakh. Sounds too good to be true, right? But it is. Chinese bike maker CFMoto launched its 650MT last month at a delicious price of Rs 4.99 lakh. The bike looks rad as it is styled by KISKA, the same design firm responsible for the KTM Duke series. Of the 650 triplets from CFMoto, the MT has the most power on tap - 70.70PS. Plus, it comes with an adjustable USD and Metzeler Roadtec Z8 rubber.
2. Kawasaki Versys-X 300 - Rs 4.69 lakh
By plonking the Ninja 300’s sweet parallel-twin motor in an adventure tourer setup, Kawasaki had the right makings for a neat adventure motorcycle. The ‘X’ in its nomenclature suggests that it can handle a bit more of the dirty stuff but likes to stick to tarmac, just like the other Versys siblings. The pricing of the motorcycle is a big ask at Rs 4.69 lakh (ex-showroom India). What is more heart-aching is that if you primarily want a touring-focused motorcycle with the same parallel-twin motor, the Ninja 300 is a whole Rs 1.69 lakh more affordable.
3. Kawasaki Ninja 400 - Rs 4.99 lakh
Speaking of heart-aches, Kawasaki also has the Ninja 400 in its India portfolio. Carrying a price tag of Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom India), the Ninja 400 is nearly twice as expensive as its fiercest rival, the KTM RC 390. The motorcycle is a beauty as it has a powerful 399cc mill that pumps out 49PS, 4PS more than its European-spec model. This is a motorcycle that you would love to ride but think a thousand times before putting your hard-earned money down for.
Honourable mention: Benelli TRK 502 - Rs 5.10 lakh
Prior to the small price hike of Rs 10,000, Benelli had priced the TRK 502 at Rs 5 lakh. It gets the same engine as the one found on the Leoncino. However, the TRK 502 has an intimidating stance which makes the bike seem larger than even 800cc adventure motorcycles.

- 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.Read More1
- Fantastic ExperienceThe 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.Read More

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.Read More
