Why Are There So Many Second-hand Benelli 752s?

Here are the reasons why there are many second-hand Benelli 752s: 1. Market Environment: Whether it's imported or domestically produced, new models are constantly being launched, and these new bikes are more exciting to ride. After riding for a while—usually a few months or a few thousand kilometers—the original motorcycle is often sold, and the rider purchases a new model. 2. Performance: When the 752S was first launched, many riders wanted to experience it due to its 750cc displacement. This naturally led to a certain number of these bikes being available on the market. From an individual perspective, it also relates to the bike's own riding experience. 3. Appearance: Domestic motorcycles tend to age relatively quickly after being used for a while. Beyond a certain point, the bike's condition—both in terms of refinement and appearance—shows a noticeable decline compared to a new one. As a domestically produced motorcycle, the Benelli 752S often exhibits signs of aging after riding over 10,000 kilometers, such as wear on the exterior parts, localized rust, and a less refined look. The steering bearings in the front may even develop some stiffness.

I just sold my 752s, let me explain why there are so many second-hand ones. This bike was a hot seller when new, with many young riders choosing it as their first big-displacement motorcycle, resulting in a huge ownership base. Many people ride it for just a year or two before upgrading, naturally flooding the used market. Additionally, while the 752s looks stylish, it has some minor issues like low-speed jerking and less-than-ideal vibration control, prompting some owners to sell. Its relatively high fuel consumption also makes city commuting expensive, leading budget-conscious riders to part ways. Plus, its strong appeal as a beginner's transitional bike means many sell after gaining experience. The bike's design is decent, but Benelli's resale value simply can't match Japanese rivals.

As a veteran motorcycle enthusiast, I've seen many 752s being resold. This bike had a large sales volume when new, and motorcycle enthusiasts tend to upgrade quickly, so many nearly new 1-2 year old models quickly enter the used market. Moreover, Benelli's quality control is often criticized - the 752s has some flaws in its fuel injection system and suspension tuning, which might make experienced riders feel it's not refined enough to keep. Add to that fierce competition in the domestic market at this price point, with CFMoto and Cyclone releasing new models that offer more appeal. There's also the impact of license plate policies - many cities restrict large-displacement bikes, forcing owners to reluctantly sell when new regulations hit shortly after purchase. That said, the 752s' twin-cylinder exhaust note and streetfighter styling remain truly classic.

Having repaired motorcycles for over a decade, the Benelli 752S second-hand market is an old topic. Mainly because the new vehicle shipment volume is too large, they're everywhere on the streets. In terms of quality, the high-voltage coils are prone to aging, and chain drive noise is also common, leading many owners to resell them due to the hassle. Beginners particularly love buying it as an entry-level bike, wanting to upgrade to larger displacements after just 3,000 kilometers. Expensive maintenance is also an issue, with an oil change costing four to five hundred yuan. Currently, the second-hand price is over thirty thousand, twenty thousand cheaper than new, naturally attracting buyers.

I've ridden ten heavy motorcycles, and the second-hand market for the 752s is clearly flooded. The core issue is Benelli's strategy of using low prices to boost sales, selling tens of thousands of units in just two years, which naturally led to a surge in second-hand availability. Many buyers underestimate the difficulty of handling a large-displacement bike; the 752s weighs over 200 kilograms, making parking and maneuvering a hassle for beginners, leading to regret. Additionally, its retro street bike positioning is awkward—it doesn't appeal as much to those who want pure retro style as dedicated retro bikes, nor does it satisfy performance enthusiasts as much as sport bikes. It's stuck in a middle ground. Plus, the motorcycle community is highly competitive, and riding the same bike for two years can make you feel outdated.
