The baby Leoncino eggs you to push harder
I’m quite happy with the latest crop of Benellis to hit our shores. The TRK 502 is a decent tourer, the Imperiale 400 is segment-leading when it comes to ride quality and balance, and the Leoncino 500 has a thoroughly enjoyable engine. I don’t remember being so fond of Benellis back in the day. Well, the younger sibling, the Leoncino 250 is here, and I have gone from having low expectations from the brand to relatively higher ones. Would this bike really impress? Can it hold its own in the hotly-contested sub-400cc space? And is it a bike that can be viewed as something more than a smaller, cheaper, less powerful Leoncino 500?
