Conclusion - what sticks

The Benelli Leoncino 125 impresses with two aspects: its appearance and the price. Okay, the design is a matter of taste, but when it comes to price, there can be no two opinions: not even 3,500 euros is a joke compared to the competitors . Nevertheless, the machine does not look cheap or quickly put together. On the contrary, switches, frames, and many details are lovingly made - we like them.
 
The only thing that bothered us was the lack of ABS, otherwise there was hardly anything to complain about. If you are looking for an A1 or B196 bike and don't want to spend 5,500 euros, you should definitely take a look at the Benelli Leoncino 125.
