The main reason for us saying that is the BXX ’ s rolling stock - a 19-inch front wheel matched to a 17-inch rear . Good for a lighter adventure machine but not as hard-core as a proper dualsport machine . Built around a 292.4cc single-cylinder which has been developed from Benelli ’ s 250cc engine found in the Leoncino 250 overseas , the BXX 300 puts down 28.8hp at 9000rpm and 24.5Nm of peak torque . Fuel consumption is quoted as 3.2 litres per 100km , giving the BXX a potential for 400km on a single 13-litre tank of gas . Unfortunately , unlike the Tornado 500 , the BXX 300 only gets the bare basics of suspension adjustment with spring preload adjustment on the rear shock . Seat height comes in at a reasonably tall 837mm , but this is still much more attainable than the competition . While its kerb mass is a bit heavier than experienced hands would like at 165kg , it is still well within the ballpark where a beginner adventure bike can weigh anything from 150- 200kg .
