Benelli Bn 302
The Benelli BN 302 was introduced in 2014 as an entry-level naked streetfighter, designed to bring the Italian Benelli brand identity to the beginner and mid-range motorcycle market at an accessible price point. Produced under the Chinese-owned Benelli (QJ Motor group acquired the brand in 2005), it was manufactured in China and sold across Europe, Asia, and other markets as a stylish, affordable alternative to Japanese competitors. It became notable for offering Italian-heritage styling and a parallel-twin engine in a segment typically dominated by singles, giving it a sporty character for new riders.

What Buyers Should Know
Inline-3 Engine Rarity
The BN 302 features a rare 3-cylinder 300cc engine in its class, giving it a smoother power delivery and a distinctive exhaust note compared to typical 300cc twins or singles.
Electrical Issues Reported
Owners commonly report electrical gremlins including faulty instrument clusters and charging system problems, so inspect wiring and battery health carefully before buying used.
Steep Resale Depreciation
Benelli's limited brand reputation in Western markets causes the BN 302 to depreciate quickly, which means used buyers can find strong value but new buyers should expect significant resale loss.
