The Benelli BX250 is not a new model, it was launched in 2012 http://www.benelli.com/eng/Catalog/Motorcycles/Motorcycles-2012/BX-250-Motard/Default-cc-332.aspx

The Benelli BX250 is equiped with the same engine as the Benelli TNT25 (which is currently sold in Thailand), so who knows Benelli Thailand maybe they will introduce the motard version also....

Good One.

Dear me, I bet all these nice looking Benelli's on the market is going to get the China bike haters in a right old tizzy, personally for me more choice can only ever be a good thing and it is inevitable the Chinese are going to get it right and probably sooner rather than later....

With the Benelli BX250 Motard “currently” only being available in some European countries I’m not so sure it’s 100% made in China…

Benelli first displayed some clay models of motards , enduros and motocross bikes as early as 2006 , and prototypes in 2008. These seemed to have 449 - MX , the 505 - Enduro and the 570cc - Motard engines , that were very race orientated. This 250cc BX however is a road legal bike. Being available in Europe , but not Thailand , could very well mean its another Italian produced machine. The poor old "Honda" fan boys will be tossing their toys out of the sand box - after all , some of them still believe Honda is Japanese.

The BMW engines the Chinese produce are okay.

Great to see Benelli producing another great looking bike.

Let's hope they have performance to match.

Nothing wrong with any Chinese , etc , made products , providing the design and materials are right. The 250 4 valve liquid , cooled fuel injected singles of Honda and Kawasaki have the same power of 25 BHP , although the new KTM 250 has 31 BHP , but that costs 180 K , now KTM have a far more realistic price on SOME of its models.

Looks very cheap and cheerful!

You mean like the BMW 650 GS. Perish the thought!

The wheels and rotors are beautiful.

papa wants....

What is that small line that runs behind the front forks?

Speedo connection to make it road legal?

I agree with VN , speed wire. If the speed sensor is taken off the gearbox , a change of sprockets messes up the speedo reading.

it's a piece of lock wire for when the front wheel starts to fall apart...
