My wife loves hers. She has had no issues 2 years of ownership. Not a great seat is her only complaint. The neutral light comes on in fifth gear. She has 1200 miles on it from new. She rides it everyday to work even this winter. No problems starting or running in below freezing temps.
This in my opinion is deffo the best review of the tnt on you tube and to be fair, others are also v good. Keep coming back to this review re/pre poss purchase of second bike.
not the bike most people want but all the bike most people actually need ... I'd say it's the most economical solution - not as nice as a Honda but cheaper to buy and cheaper in parts if you break something
Same price as a grom. And it’s actually in a class of its own not even a clone. Just bought one today. Debated for weeks on the grom and this one. Decided on this one
Fun little bike, you can really rip it if you want and not break the speed limit :) When the stock tires go bald I’m going to replace them with more of a dual sport tire. Some come with a “mobber” tire which seems like what I’m after. Great vid!
Got mine last summer. Put about 700 miles on it. Lot's of fun. My only complaint is there's a bit more vibration at the hand grips than I've ever had on a bike. Hands get numb on long rides. Maybe a thicker walled handle bar or better gloves could fix that.
This is a awesome bike, I'm impressed you got it up to 70mph. I'm not sure in my state I could go on the parkway because I think the rule where I'm at is 200cc bike for parkway driving but the top speed limit where I'm at is usually about 55-65 so I'd risk it especially to jump on and off the parkway.
I've put 9000mi on mine since January 1st 2022. No problems whatsoever. The suspension is more robust then the Honda's. The Benelli is a small sportbike, the others are beefed up minibikes. I replaced the 15t front sprocket with a 16t. Much better, rpms lower at 55, 4th is faster for climbing mountains.
@@DailyMotor a Chinese brand on Amazon. Less than $20-. Make sure you get a 428 width sprocket. 428 16t is what I like. I also have a 14t for woods riding and cart tracks
@@daveslastchance front sprocket is ez, yes the stock chain is correct length. The chain and sproket width is '428' (not 420 as on a Honda). The stock chain is junk, I recommend a 428 Xring chain. Sproket = 16tooth, 428, 17mm. Chain = 116link, 428, xring. I am very impressed with the Niche Gold xring chain. Amazon has both of these.
I bought one new in 1982 the only year for them. It was I believe about 680.00 dollars new. Took my test on it and rode it back and forth to work. Oil Injected two stroke it would do 50mph from new. Wish I had it today even though I am now 70 years old.
My first bike bought it new in 1982 and it was six hundred and some dollars new and I took my test on it and road it back and forth to work for a few years. It would do 50mph no problem. Wish I still had it, although I am now 70 years old I would still ride it.
Good do see Michigan plates lol. I moved to south America and am picking o e of these next month. I'm in the city and this solidified my choice for sure. Good commuter for sure
2600 used yikes lol i can get one brand new no fees today 2023 for 2400 cash with 1 year warrantyi just cant justify t for such a small bike, but i was ready to pay 800 for a used 50cc pocket bike one years ago lol
Have any of y’all had problems with your bike overheating? Mine did, the first time I rode it and and the dealership basically told me I was crazy, it wasn’t overheating, and no other Beneli bikes had that problem. Idk what’s y’all’s experience?
The grom and this is the same price! For the green one is 3400 same as a grom or maybe a hundred less. But after freight fees and all that it all costs!
I've been considering one of these to add to my Benelli 302s which I love. I have the Neon green, and my local dealer has two of the 135s in the same color! So, I'd have a matched pair! BUT, I've also been looking at the Kymco Spade 150 which is a tempting alternative. Was wondering if you're familiar with the Spade and your thoughts about it...
Debating on this or the 302S. It seems like for barely more than the cost of a Grom you can get a bike that’s highway worthy and really hits above its class. I used to own a Buell Blast. Will I notice the difference of weight between it and the 302S? The 302S is 35 pounds heavier. But it’s a more compact package and I’d bet it could outrun the Blast from what I’ve seen. I just want a 250-300cc twin cylinder bike that’s small and light. If it’s designed right I don’t see why it needs to weigh north of 350. One can dream, and realistically I think my debate is settled. This TNT135 looks fun but I think the 302S will be fun and practical.
Gear indicator is one of those track items that everyone thought they needed for the street. You don’t and never will. Your brain is better off knowing what gear your in instead of relying on some silly display
Yeah but the drz will be $4,000 more. The point of the bike isn’t a high power to weight ratio, it’s having fun at low speeds and having a cool little mini bike. The DRZ doesn’t give you that.

You'll like It more than the Grom. It's the better bike

@@1uniqerider what was the reasoning? I'm still thinking grom but I had 3 wheelers and they are bullet proof so I'm thinking these will be
I’ve had mine a year and 3500 off showroom floor also has knob tire option. Grom is much more expensive harder to get slower inferior fuel economy.

That's a good idea, I may do the same. Thanks!
Funny how they used to be about 1,000 dollars less. Zero changes in it but it became popular so they raised the price.
True, in my country it was like about 88k last year, and today it's 93k already

Oh the speedo is 4 to 5 mph off too fast. No biggy
Look up grip puppies I put them on every bike I own 👍
@@wilsonwarbucks worth trying first. Thanks!

Sweet! Could I ask which sprocket you went with? Generic one?

how big a job is replacing the sprocket? And, can you use the same chain? Thanks.

The best small bike ever was the HONDA MB5. Such a blast to ride with it's 2-stroke motor!

My god I always wanted to ride one! Was a funny concept back then....
I miss my Yamaha RD100 twin cylinder. Now that was a small bike 'ripper'!

I am grateful.
Enjoyed your review, looking to buy one now. Looks better than Grom imo. Thanks!
I actually wanted this in India more than Grom.. Benelli has big bikes in India desperately need this
Ducati mini fun bike. Sexy exhaust pipes + iron bars. Better choice ! 😀😆🤣

Amazing wow!
I ask 1questions!
-Where country ride you this bike(beneli tnt135)after?
My favourite bike this?😊❤
FYI, SSR is the importer for the United States not the parent company.
Everytime I see some1 go off road I get happy
The grom and this is the same price! For the green one is 3400 same as a grom or maybe a hundred less. But after freight fees and all that it all costs!
I got it for 2699€, Benelli tnt 125 Neon green
Yo you're in ypsi? I live on harris and grove is 😂
Where did you get your jacket
Please I want a lot of spare parts where can I get them???? 🙏🏾🙏🏾please tell me?
Handsome bike
On that bike when you upshift the gears what speed are you going for each gear.?

That looks like Ypsilanti, Michigan! I live just down the road from where you were riding and I have the same exact bike! 😂
Haha nice! If I see you around I'll say hi!
Absolutely!!
Hey how hard or easy to get parts or replacement parts for this bike?
Debating on this or the 302S. It seems like for barely more than the cost of a Grom you can get a bike that’s highway worthy and really hits above its class. I used to own a Buell Blast.

A Blast will hit 96mph, that's the rev limiter hitting. It has a 34hp motor.
Here in asia for a price of an Iphone 13 you could get one used

Nice video. Comparing this against the Grom, or CFMoto Papio, or a Grom clone.
Dawg mine doesn’t go to 5th gear I thought it was a 4 speed this whole time bruh
Can it take a 14 or 17 inch tire?
No
dual spark plugs for fuel economy, more complete burn
🏍️💨💯💖👍😊
Biggest problem is finding a dealer.
That’s a cat not a muffler the eliminator pipe for that is a wise choice
4 or 5 speed
I wouldn't toss a kx500 2smoker in one
It will not do 70mph.
I thought this was common knowledge at this point, but you need to reset the speedo.
Got mine to 67
Do you need a motorcycle license for this
Yes
I don't care, I want one 😠
❤❤❤❤🇮🇹❤ ❤❤❤
🤩🤩🤩🤩🇮🇹🤩🤩🤩🤩
Really small
Bigger than the Grom in almost every way. Bigger displacement, wheel base, height, brakes, forks... Smaller only in price :)
It has 37lb more pounds.
For another 37 more pounds and you get a drz400 with 2.5x more hp
Yeah but the drz will be $4,000 more. The point of the bike isn’t a high power to weight ratio, it’s having fun at low speeds and having a cool little mini bike. The DRZ doesn’t give you that.
