Result

The Benelli 752S is a simple but well-made mid-range naked bike for a fair price. Racers probably won't be happy with it, but connoisseurs and bikers with the claim to want to ride something special will. Brakes, tires and chassis were convincing in the test, and the rather simple equipment also suits this machine. Maybe the Benelli 752S is even the perfect second bike for adventure bikers who don't want to push the fat BMW or anything else out of the garage every time they go for a coffee ride. Just test drive the Benelli, it's not that expensive. And two bikes are just better than just one, right?
