Benelli Leoncino 800
The Benelli Leoncino 800 has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated), produces 80 hp and weighs 213 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
Benelli Leoncino 800 був представлений у 2021 році як більший брат і сестра оригінального Leoncino 500, продовжуючи відродження історичної таблички «Левовий куб», що датується класичною спадщиною скремблера Бенеллі. Розроблений під власністю Qianjiang Group, він мав на меті запропонувати більш потужний варіант скремблера середньої ваги для конкуренції у зростаючому сегменті ретро-пригод. Його паралельний двигун та класичний стиль скремблера допомогли Benelli зміцнити свою присутність на європейських та азіатських ринках.

Що повинні знати покупці
Parallel Twin Power
The Leoncino 800 uses an 754cc parallel-twin engine producing around 80hp, offering a smooth mid-range torque curve ideal for both city riding and light touring. It shares engine DNA with the TRK 800, meaning parts availability is relatively broad across the Benelli range.
Electrics Need Attention
Benelli motorcycles have a known reputation for minor electrical gremlins, including sensor faults and occasional ECU communication errors — keep firmware updated and verify warranty coverage before buying. Buying from an authorized dealer with a full service history significantly reduces this risk.
Depreciation Works For You
The Leoncino 800 depreciates faster than Japanese or European rivals, making used examples strong value buys — often 20-30% below original retail after 2-3 years. However, this also means resale when you sell will be modest, so plan to hold it long-term for best value.

"A characterful, good-looking middleweight that demands thorough pre-purchase homework."
$5,500-$7,500 usedThe Leoncino 800 is one of those bikes that looks better than its reputation suggests, and honestly rides better than the internet would have you believe. That parallel twin pulls cleanly from low revs, the scrambler-ish styling genuinely turns heads, and the ergonomics hit a sweet spot between upright comfort and sporty engagement. For the money used, it's hard to argue with the package visually. Here's where you need to be sharp though — early examples had some electrical gremlins and the dealer network in North America is genuinely thin. If something goes wrong, you're potentially shipping parts internationally or getting creative with a friendly indie mechanic. Check the service history obsessively. These bikes weren't serviced at the recommended intervals by every owner, and the throttle-by-wire system has caused headaches when neglected. Buy one with solid documentation, under 10,000 miles, and you'll get a genuinely characterful middleweight for Kawasaki Z650 money. Just go in with eyes open about the support situation.
