Motorcycle specifications Benelli302 R 2019 Light breeze

The 302 R is still in the Benelli Italy catalog. For France, things seem more complicated. After the episode of the big Tornado, in three-cylinder 900, then in 1130, the sport is more modest at the Sino-Italian manufacturer. But this Benelli no longer has much in common with Italy. Or flamboyant! This rebirth is achieved via a 300 cm3 twin-cylinder engine. With 38 horsepower, the memory falls from its pedestal.
This machine should not be seen as a descendant of the 900 / 1130 Tornado, but rather as a Sino-strategic foray into the sporty medium-displacement sector. The clan of the YZF-R3, RC 390, Ninja 400 and GSX 250 R; little valued and active at home, but a mass market in emerging countries.

the 302 R isn't a bad bike, even with its upside-down forks, lanky silhouette, bright colors and petal discs. It's easy to forget that it shares the same powertrain as the BN 302 roadster. The sporty illusion may still appeal to a number of young licence holders, as the power of its twin falls well short of A2 requirements. Built around a steel trellis frame and swingarm different from the BN, the bike is equipped with 2 front brake discs clamped by by 4-piston axial calipers, 1 240 mm disc at the rear, slim 110 and 150 mm wheels, a 14-liter fuel tank, and ABS. With 180 kilos dry weight and a handful of horsepower less than its rivals, this 302 R will make you want to play, but will find it hard to be vindictive against them.
It's a concept worth discovering, bearing in mind that Benelli bikes are now Chinese motorcycles, with only the crest retaining the brand's colors.
