Good review I like my little TNT135 I have over 4,000 miles on it now. I love the look of the bike and in my opinion it is better than the others in this category .
Sid lol 1600 for a mini bike isn’t shit. I’d buy one of those for 1600 all day just to murder it 😂😂😂. Stick w the local stuff if it craps out buy another lol. Def cheap enough for sure. The tnt is pretty good though tbh.
I live in Australia also I am currently looking at buying the tnt 135 have you tested the top speed with a gps as I’d like to know the top speed love your review
I haven't tested the top speed with a GPS but I can say that a sustainable freeway cruising speed would be around 95 kph. Yes it will go higher (I had over 110 on the speedo) but put a few hills in the mix and you will be under 100 kph.
Many have noted that the mph is off. This is because the dash was programmed for a 10” wheel as opposed to the 12 the bike comes with. You can find instructions on TH-cam, but basically hold both of the left side up/down buttons down while turning the key on. See cc. Use top button to shift columns. Bottom button to enter 123. See F010.0 Again use the top button to shift columns and the bottom button to change to F012.0 Press both buttons to save. Turn the key off to complete. Now go ride and find out top speed. 63 is about right for 160 lb. riders.
Hi Mike, I’ve never understood the appeal of the Honda Grom style bike. I’ve always thought why get one of those when you can have a standard 125 trail or street bike. What’s the fascination?
For me it's primarily the link with the mini bikes of the seventies. They are easy bikes to ride, great for stunting on and can go just about anywhere.
I’ve been riding bikes for 51 years and these have gone straight over my head like an in-joke amongst a club I have been refused membership from. Thanks for the insight Mike.
Harleys are flying at an even higher altitude over my head than the Grom. I learnt to ride on a hard tail 350 BSA Gold Star (that kicked back like a mule) and I imagine that fulfilled a lifetime of needs for any Harley experience. Ha ha.
I'd go for the TnT135 over the TnT125 if it's available (some areas may only have one or the other). The slightly higher hp of the TnT135 is most welcome on the road. The 125 & 135 are pretty much the same apart from the engine size. But depending on where you live you may find the 125 model cheaper to register.
I like mine in every aspect and I am very pleased with the quality, however this bike has the worst headlight you could imagine. My bicycle has better lights. Would like to see if anybody has a solution, specially since I ride at night often. The high beam is like shinning a small flashlight. I guess Chinese have very good eyes. I can not see a damn thing in front of me further than 6 feet.
Honda Grom is made in Thailand. I just don't like the idea of getting baited into something that it isn't!; like the MG for example, being advertised as British in my Region, but it was also a defunct company that was acquired by a chinesium company. Our local dealers would not disclose this, its like they knew right from the start they would get discriminated. Anything made in china is dirt cheap, but not everyone see it as a "better value". ü
Whoa Big Boi! I never said about anything caring nor deciding on what you ride! I'm just merely pointing out that this brand misleads people! LOL I don't even own Japanese Bikes. Calm down boi!
@@SimonTAMG it means that u change the exhaust pipe that when stock has a very big square looking box in the middle which is the catalytic converter that i believe is there to reduce the emissions of toxic gases but also reduces the noise that comes out of there
@@SimonTAMG so when u get a cat delete pipe or cut it off yourself and fabricate one you'll get more emissions which might not be legal everywhere in the world but a much louder and more natural sounding bike
Lissam thanks Lissam. I figured it was something along those lines I just wasn’t sure if the wording so thank you! Used to do the same thing with our cars back in the day
@@lissam4178 it helps it breathe better also. Less restriction and a good eight lbs of excess metal off if it. If you change the intake you need to spend a lot more on auxiliary fuel management which won’t amount to much for what you spend. I was Sativa spied with the cat delete.

@@pghdave420 I have 11,000 miles on it now and I had to replace head gasket $8 at steady garage
@@ridesoftail Was it easy to do yourself?
@@Racer57 I let the shop do it $200 labor but it's not to hard. Running great 14,000 miles now
Does it have abs ?
@@jonathanmellish4439 No ABS I just turned 15000 miles on it today Doesn't use any oil at all can't notice any loss in 2500 oil interval
I'm buying this in a few weeks. Glad I found a review here in Australia. As a first-time bike user. This is very informative to me. Thanks.
Just bought a 2021 love it
Thanks for the review , glad I bought one can't wait to ride it.
100kph according to the speedo, GPS speed would be more like 90kph. My USA model said I was doing 69mph but realistically it was doing 61mph
Wow, the tnt is expensive in Australia. It’s 2700 here in the USA. Good review I enjoyed it 👍🏼
exchange buddy
1600us$ in China😂
Sid damn 😂😂😂
@@parkersgarage4216Lol.. Even just around $1,600, many people think it's expensive for a mini bike.
But here the big brands like Kawasaki and BMW are very expensive, mainly taxes.
Locally made things are cheap and imported things are taxed.

nice review, just reading the specs though. Any long term reviews on this thing?
Perfekt review 👍🏼👍🏼. Thank u so much for the video 😊🙏🏻
Would have been nice if you could have tested 2 up riding.
Thanks for the review mate! 👍

Strangely enough enough I feel the same way about Harleys. I never could see why owners loved them so much, lol.

@@bruceleong9534 stunting for me and fooling around. Backup bike for when the KTM is in the shop.
Great review very informative
Very informative review
I like that it has a 5spd
Does anyone know the TNT 135 gear set is the same as a Japanese motorcycle? I have trouble finding spare parts
Would you review the CFmoto 150nk too
Would you recommend purchasing the 135 over the 125? Do you know what the main difference between the two are or is it just the engine size? Thank you

@@MikesMachines Thank you so much! This helped me out a lot :) Love your videos
This was going to be my first bike but I got the klx 140 L 2019 version and I think I should of gotten the Benili

What’s the lil cup for at 48 seconds on the engine
It's the rear brake fluid reservoir.
Is this motorcycle 🏍️ for only one person ?
The TnT 135 can carry 2 people.
Seems to be about 2 horsepower more than the Grom.
How tall are you?
I'm just over 6ft.
How many kph per litter
45 in the city.
Why would a chinesium company hide behind a defunct Italian Brand? I say this is very misleading.
Nhoy Barangay it’s still an Italian design. They have them manufactured in China like the GROM but this is a better value

Get the cat delete pipe
I'm looking at getting one of these and have seen these comments come up frequesntly. What does that mean? "cat delete pipe"? Thanks in advance!
