Benelli BN 302 Release Date
Hello,
Just heard yesterday from the factory that the Benelli BN 302 also known in China as the Benelli BJ300 will be released in mainland China on 10th April 2014. The price will be 22,800 rmb for the 300 cc inline twin 37bhp bike. The local dealer here in Taizhou has already ordered 11 of these machinese for customers who have paid the deposit. I will test ride on this date before purchasing. The bike comes in four colours but think only available in two colours outside China. The colours available here are Orange, White, Black and Red. Outside China is the first two. If you view some of the videos on baidu video page then you can here the sound of the bike, sounds lovely considering its only 300cc. Chinese name: 贝纳利300
If I have any more news then i will post on here.
Thanks

Nice looking bike, and competitively priced too. I'd still probably go with a Suzuki 250 for the extra 2000 yuan if I was commuting, however good the Benelli you would really expect less issues from the Suzuki. The Benelli has an extra 10hp if stats are correct, which really might be pretty nice in China.
In true Chinese style here are some pictures that I stole from the internet and then claimed I took them. :lol8:

They may have canceled the 250cc singles, because they are gone.

Re: Benelli BN 302 Release Date
It's nice but looks like it's 200kg... Bit heavy for 37hp.
Re: Benelli BN 302 Release Date
The official dry weight is 185kg and yes its near 200kg but i think the power is still enough. I own a Yamaha Majesty 400 scooter which has similar power but weighs nearly 225kg. Only 3 weeks left till their released.:icon10:
