Love the spec of the bike? If you are beginner bikers, and you looking for a bike from 200 cc to 500 cc, this should be one of your list. In fact, if you looking for best sound, this is the bike that you looking for. Why? Because this bike is just 2 cylinders, but has sound like 3 cylinders of bike. Watch this.

After spending hours watching 10+ video again and again, I come oout with my own passion about this bike.
PROS:
- SOUND
No doubt, this is the best 2 cylinders sound ever. It has 3 cylinders sound. And with right exhaust, this bike can be same as 4 inline (Except not loud as 4 inline). - RELIABLE BRAND
This Benelli is the oldest motorcycle company in Italy. Even thought the company is own by China firm, but the productions and materials are came all the way from Italy.
Also, this Benelli has good review too. Even from Awie said this bike is quite reliable to riders.
- PRICE
This is the part that I love most. RM 18,800.00, this bike is way cheaper than Kawasaki Z250. Where else you can get 300 cc of of bike with this price? - BOTH CITY AND LONG RIDE
Built to handle high temp, this bike is suitable for long distant ride, also a city cruising. So, it doesn't matter if you wanted for a weedays ride, or a weekend ride, this bike will do for you.
CONS
- SPARE PARTS
Well, this is the worst part when you need and ASAP parts when your bike in trouble. Not much spare parts here in Malaysia. Even the air filter and oil filter can be use Kawasaki's, but some major parts like engine or electronic stuff require you to order it. You won't get it easily from store, or dealler. - NO GEAR INDICATOR
This is not a porblem espacially for most experienced riders. But this is 300 cc bike. It means, more newbie beginner riders are using this than the expereinced one. So the gear indicator are might be important to them. Even myself prefer a bike that has gear indicator. - NO ABS
For most cases, ABS does save lives! ABS makes you able to control your bike when you hit brake hard. Too bad this bike is not featuring ABS. SO to stay safe, don't ride faster than you can stop.
Limited Edition: Green Color of Variant.
