Conclusion - That puts you in a good mood!

Fortunately, the Full Throttle has been able to transport the typical Ducati Scrambler feeling into 2023. This bike is simply a real fun grenade that pretty much every biker should be able to get along with. On top of that, there is a two-year warranty with no mileage limit. Due to the complex valve lash control, however, it goes to the service every 12,000 km.

The test machine was kindly provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Bremervörde. Holger, one of the local salespeople, is a real Ducatisti and will calmly explain to you over a coffee which Ducati suits you best. There are plenty of Ducati and Suzuki demonstrators and a lot of used machines. Let's go to Bremervörde!

Conclusion - what sticks

The Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail is a real fun bike. It not only looks chic, but the driving also brings you a real mood. There are hardly any points of criticism except for the brake, the machine looks valuable and well processed. The driving performance does not overwhelm anyone, but you can also accelerate and have fun if necessary.

The price of this machine is excellent. You get a lot of motorcycle for little money. The rather clear technical equipment of the Benelli fits well to a Scrambler. If you like this type of bike, you should visit a Benelli dealer as soon as possible and take a test ride. Bring real mood, you'll see!
