Skippy Posted Tuesday at 10:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:11 Just did an eight day trip on the TRK502X which took me from Murcia province, up to Segovia where I met five friends from the UK. From there we went west to Miranda do Duro which is on the border between Spain and Portugal. Further west to Chaves and then onto Porto for two nights following most of the Rota Norte which was fantastic. We headed east to Avila using as many twisty mountain roads we could find and then finally I had to head home to Murcia province. My mates went north via Leon and the mountains so they can get their ferry on Wednesday. Fantastic trip with only a little motorway to get around Murcia city. No rain, great roads, only stopped by the police once early on Sunday morning to carry out an alcohol test (no problem!) The TRK is a fantastic moto and wasn’t left behind by the larger bikes…….and of course, it cost much less to buy! ……..where to next? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it’s been brilliant Saul, it’s a big old lump at standstill but once on the move it handles beautifully. Sure footed, smooth and great looking. A bit more oompf would be nice but not essential…….just carry a bit of corner speed and it makes good progress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am coming around to the idea that it’s more fun riding something more sensible fast than something with monster power, and safer. I have seen lots a reviews praising the TRK. Selling hand over fist in Italy, Spain and France. Don’t know how it will fair in the salt but you don’t see many for sale 2nd hand here. You can get a new 502 here pre reg for £4500. Glad yours is serving you well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great value for money and they’ve been around for a few years yet with no major faults as far as I’m aware of. I love fast, powerful bikes but if truth be told I always end up feeling like a passenger on them and rather inadequate as I just cannot get anywhere near their full potential. With a smaller capacity bike you feel like your riding them……….another reason why I kept the FZ6N, it’s got more than enough power to go ballistic when you feel like it but it takes a bit of effort. Mind you, I’d still have a Busa…….. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
