Benelli BN302 scheduled for U.S.A. in 2015

The Benelli BN302 is a nice motorcycle which is designed to compete with the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Honda CBR300R. Rumors are circulating the Benelli BN302 will be available for sale in the U.S.A. later this year.

Here is a link to the Cycle World review of the Benelli BN302.

i saw the bike early this year in my mechanic/dealer store
looks a lot like a Kawa ER6N but obviously has a smaller engine
tests talk of a nice ride but in my opinion the bike is a bit heavy around 200 kgs with full tank and all liquids
price in Italy is inviting and color range as well.................but as you know I went for a used Skyteam V-Raptor waiting for better financial resources (i.e. insurance refunds to come)
anyhow, it's another competitor in the rapidly increasing group of the 300 cc models.........due to costs of manteinance these bikes are gonna sell more and more over Europe and Italy as well, as long as people will privilege economy/low weight/ease of use in everyday riding
