MotoBi was established in 1948 by the eldest of the six Benelli brothers, Giuseppe, after a disagreement saw him split from the family company. After his death in 1957 the MotoBi company’s fortunes declined and it was absorbed back into Benelli in 1961, although the MotoBi name continued to be used for some of its more sporting models up until 1973.
Benelli/MotoBi 250 Sport Special
The 250 Sport Special was the last Benelli/MotoBi to use Piero Prampolini’s famous “egg” engine, introduced in 1956. Over 2000 wins in 125, 175 and 250 classes over the years meant that the design had a serious reputation! The bike was released at the end of 1968 initially only as a MotoBi model but soon came to be badged as a Benelli. Both 125 and 250cc versions were available with only the colour schemes differentiating them.
Benelli/MotoBi 250 Sport Special
Early in 1971 the “second series” was released. Of more modern appearance, it featured a new Marzocchi front fork, higher rise bars and monotone colour schemes. Nearly all Sport Specials from this time were sold as Benellis.
The “third series” was debuted at the Milan Show in November of ’71 and had a smaller tank with a chrome strip running along its bottom, new seat, chromed headlight shell and new instruments. The motor received a small visual makeover with the cylinder head fins being squared off at the front.
Benelli/MotoBi 250 Sport Special
Sport Special production finished in 1973 with about 20,000 being built. Of those 70 per cent were 125s and about 80 per cent marketed as Benellis. Output was 16.5 hp at 7500rpm, with a dry weight of 108 kg. The Sport Special had a top speed of 140 km/h. The bike seen here is a ‘series three’ model.
Packed full of Italian components such as Marzocchi forks, Pirelli tyres and Brembo brakes, you can ride safely knowing you have the best Italian elements riding with you. Choose from 4 colours across the Italian palette, including Verde, Rosso, Bianco and Nero 🇮🇹 The 752s now comes with a BONUS $600 Gear Pack*, containing a Benelli Four Season’s Jacket, and a KV-09 Helmet.
Benelli Australia have confirmed that we’ll be getting the larger capacity Leoncino 800 in 2022, with arrival expected in the first half of the new year, and offering more performance along with a higher spec loadout than the popular 500. For those who prefer a bit more off-road cred, the Leoncino 800 Trail is also on the way, arriving in Q1 of 2022.
Benelli Leoncino 800
In the Leoncino 800 the design becomes a bit harder and more sculpted than it’s smaller 500 cc counterpart, while maintaining what are the elements iconic pieces of the Leoncino range. The angled 15-litre tank is made of steel and sports the Benelli logo.
Benelli Leoncino 800
The heart of Leoncino 800 is the 754cc, liquid cooled, four-stroke, twin-cylinder engine, now Euro 5 approved. It delivers 76.2 hp (56 kW) at 8500 rpm and 67 Nm of torque peaks at 6500 rpm.
Benelli Leoncino 800
DOHC, four-valves per-cylinder, twin 43 mm throttle bodies, wet anti-slip clutch and six-speed gearbox, complete the drivetrain. The frame is a brand new tubular trellis with steel plates.
Benelli Leoncino 800
The Leoncino logo appears under the seat on aluminium side panel, which flows from the tank. The headlight is full LED and runs the Benelli Leoncino logo at the centre. This version features TFT instruments.

The seat ensures comfort for the rider and the passenger alike; while the Lion sits proudly on the front mudguard.
Benelli Leoncino 800
The suspensions consist of an upside-down Marzocchi fork with 50 mm diameter legs, adjustable in rebound, compression and pre-load, with 140 mm of travel. Out back is swing-arm with pre-load and rebound adjustable monoshock.
Benelli Leoncino 800
The Brembo braking system is a double 320 mm semi-floating rotor setup on the front and four-piston radial-mount monobloc caliper, while at the rear a 260 mm diameter rotor is joined by a dual-piston caliper. The 17-inch alloy tubeless spoked rims mount 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 tyres.

Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail
The Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail delivers what the brand calls ‘off-road soul’ thanks in part to a 19-inch front wheel and twin silencer exhaust.
Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail
The chassis was revised in order to better tackle off-road terrain and uneven surfaces. The frame is a tubular trellis with steel plates, the same as the road version, how the suspension has been upgraded. 50 mm Marzocchi USD forks are fitted, with adjustable rebound, compression and pre-load, as well as longer travel at 148 mm.
Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail
The same upgrade took place at the rear, a single monoshock with adjustable spring pre-load and rebound damping, whose travel was also increased to 140 mm. The Leoncino 800 Trail seat is raised to 834 mm from 805 mm in the road model.
Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail
Knobby tyres, 120/70 19” in the front and 170/60 17” in the rear, complete the look.
Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail
The new double exhaust in a higher position helps define the bike’s silhouette with a rally theme. The exhaust was developed specifically for the Trail version, as well as the number plate holder and the heat shield on the side, which also bring out the off-road inclination of this model.
Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail
The Leoncino 800 will be available in Benelli dealerships across Australia & New Zealand in the first half of 2022 with the Leoncino 800 Trail expected in Q1, 2022. The price has not yet been revealed for either variant. For more information see the Benelli Australia website (link).
Benelli has been getting stronger after being re-established and it seems that Italian riders don’t even seem to mind that the brand is now made in China rather than in their homeland. 15,000 models have been sold in Italy since the brand was reborn, including 6500 units from the original 500 powered TRK platform which is a top seller in Italy. Modern Benelli sales in Europe have eclipsed 35,000.
The 2022 Benelli TRK800 at EICMA
A new TRK 800 debuted at EICMA that promises to be a step up from the original LAMS-legal TRK 502, offering more performance and a higher level of general specification.
The 2022 Benelli TRK800 at EICMA
With the TRK 502 available now for $9,990 ride-away, the new 800 version is likely to offer a similarly competitive package, although rivals such as the more powerful KTM 790 powered CFMoto 800MT is likely to provide some stiff competition.
The 2022 Benelli TRK800 offers a big step up from the TRK 502
The TRK 800 will maintain the adventure styling queues of the TRK 502 and adds full LED lighting, including DRLs, with double arched headlights.
Power output is 76.2 hp or 56 kW and the bike is Euro5
Powering the TRK 800 is the 754 cc twin-cylinder powerplant – liquid-cooled – that was already seen in the Leoncino 800. Performance is 76.2 hp or 56 kW, while torque peaks at 67 Nm at 6500 rpm. In comparison the 500s offer 35 kW.
The TRK 800 also runs a trellis steel frame with Marzocchi 50 mm USD forks, fully adjustable, and featuring a generous 170 mm of travel. An aluminium swingarm is mated to a central monoshock with preload and rebound damping, with 171 mm rear travel.
Marzocchi provide the 50 mm fully adjustable forks
Brembo provide the braking system, with dual 320 mm semi-floating rotors and four-piston calipers. On the rear is a 260 mm rotor, with a single-piston caliper. Both are backed by ABS.
In tune with the adventure theme is the aluminium alloy spoked wheels with tubeless rims, running a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear, clad in 110/80 and 150/70 rubber respectively.
Spoked wheels are also featured with Benelli saying rims are tubeless
Other features include an adjustable fairing and hand guards for strong wind protection, while the seat is kept slim but spacious for an easy reach to the ground, while retaining comfort. Grab rails for the pillion or to be used as tie-down points along with a centre-stand are standard.

A 22-litre fuel tank offers a generous range, while a high tech 7-inch TFT display is what you’d expect on a premium adventure machine.
2022 Benelli TRK 800
Other points of note for the new TRK 800 are Euro5 compliance, claimed fuel consumption of 4.6L per 100 km for a 400 km+ range, slip and assist clutch and Delphi ECU.
2022 Benelli TRK 800
Seat height is a fairly manageable 834 mm for an adventure machine, with 211 mm of ground clearance and the bike will take a max load of 214 kg. The one figure that stands out is the 226 kg weight figure, which is actually quoted as the dry mass, meaning the bike will tip the scales at more than 240 kg when ready to ride.
2022 Benelli TRK 800
The Benelli TRK 800 is due in the second half of 2022, with pricing yet to be released, however Benelli Australia are encouraging riders to register their interest now at the Benelli Australia contact form.
