shineray x2 vs. benelli bj250gy

Hi
Keep the bike on 17" and fit a set of 120/70/17 front and 160/60/17 preilli MT60 tyres.
A lot of the guys in Thailand are changing there 21/18 not 19? to 17 all round with a good set of 50/50 tyres.

Keep to tubeless and for what you need, spoke wheels are mainly used when a bike does a lot of offroad stuff.
But generally spoke wheels are tubed, and only the very top makes fit tubeless spoke wheels.

Back rack and side bags.

I am only going by what I can figure out from the pictures of the bike, and from what I can see Benelli has not considered how people will fit a back rack.

Without seeing the bike there not much more I can add.

If I see one a have a better look and report back to you ok

If you are planning to ride about China touring then you need to work something out.

The worry I have is the rear Sub-frame, is it designed to take some extra KG at the back.

Here are a few pictures of my CRF250 set up for travelling.









This is the part I am concerned about?





How is it fixed or welded under that cover


Here you can get a better view of the CRF set up with the engine fame and the rear fame.

IMO your bike looks a bit, well what can I say "Chinese made" so be carefull.
