I also used to own a Benelli TNT300 here in India and had the best memories on her, she never ever gave any trouble and the sound was Eargasmic! At full revs she was a like screaming angel, had a lot of fun on this bike and miss her now after selling it around 2 years back. Had bought her in 2016
Ive made with my wife ( both together) more than 7000 km in 26 days , from Argentina - north of Chile -Peru - Bolivia and back to Argentina , fully loaded and cero, cero problems. My experience with this bike was excelent. Now I have bought a TRK.
Some of the cons, having ridden the bike (and some competitors, like the BMW G310R) myself, could also be pros. [a] I think the stock exhaust sound is one of the best and loudest in its class, and can occasionally even rival modern 500/600cc bikes. [b] The bike comes with LED indicators as stock, which some competitors (e.g., Yamaha) have not even caught up with yet. Plus, from model year 2017/2018 the bike comes with ABS (the usual give-away is an ABS sticker on the front mudguard). I think most people wouldn't expect traction control (TCS) as stock in this class. [c] Yes, the bike takes time to get going (in terms of RPM). However, if you're a new rider/coming back to riding, this is a great machine in order not to scare the sh*t out of yourself or pillion passenger, and it can help you practice your technique (e.g., cornering), rather than aiming just for speed. Anyway, those are just my $0.02. :)
I appreciate you making this vid. I’ve been looking at trying to get an MT-03/07 for my first bike but it’s incredibly rare in my area. My dealership has a benelli 302s in their showroom and I’ve been considering it but finding a review on it has been insanely hard. I saw one by RevZilla saying the TNT300 kinda sucked. Not sure if I should just get this, or wait for an MT-03/07 to pop up
i got a white bn 302s and I love it. Sure its a bit heavy, a bit harder to do wheelies, and on low rpm it barely makes a sound, except this sweet sound, so riding home to a community area isnt too bad and wont wake up the neighbours babies, but at high rpm it makes an amazing sound. the power and torque is soso, but who cares, we are not on the track and i enjoy the sound of it so much. change liquids every 4000km, spokes and chain and it really never breaks down. 2 years with it now and never had a "huge" problem. Put it up for long rides, 700km+ journeys and just been a joy on 2 wheels. gas consumption is a joke aswell, barely eat gas compared to my old 650 ninja that drank 10 liters just for fun. and yes, chinese = spareparts are cheap AF and accessable, but with a Italian quality control. Propably the cheapest bike I ever owned when it came to gas, spareparts and service. Reliable? Depends on rider, but for me. Yes. Good bike all in all, a real bang for the buck.
What's wrong with the exhaust pipe sound? I like it. All things considered, Benelli seems to have released a nice A2 motocycle. Coming in green colour, the BN 302 is one of the most beautiful bikes I know.
Thank you for bring me to this vid. Now I have an overview vision of this bike and this brand. In Vietnam, many Chinese products and which originating from China is all recognized cheaply, with low quality. So, with that prejudice, Benelli is also received bad rate. Your vid is very necessary to change a lot of Vietnamese people's opinions about Benelli. I'm sure that I will subscribe your chanel, hope you can make more and more awesomeness vids. Ride safe and respect from Vietnam.
Hi Anh. You are welcome. It is very interesting information as for me and usualy for European people it is kind of difficult to understand what people from different Asian countries think, appreciate, what they find valuable etc. I would like to understand more Asian markets and one day I would like to travel there and be reviewing like for a month Asian motorcycles... There are so much bikes or variants of bikes which are not sold in Europe/US. I hope this can happen this year, but I will start first with similar trip in Italy in about 2-3 weeks. Possibly, another Benelli is coming to my review.
Also I think, that first impression was fun. I liked it. But then you realize that something you like in the beginning starts to be embarassing a little bit. Such as sound ot the bike. Anyway, for me is the most important to be honest in my reviews :)
I am thinking about this bike for change my 250cc custom bike I have today since 2007. Well, I am not interested in a lot of horsepower, really, I am riding since then with 20hp so, reach now 38 hp and could keep 120 or 130 km per hour in highways its enough for me. By the other hand, my budget its no so high, and this price of 4.300 euro its so much attractive. I think this Benelli could be an excellent option for me. Thank you.
Hi Joanen, thank you for your comment. I believe it could be an option, but on the other hand I would consider any of the competitors which may be more reliable, production quality is probably higher, some of them are faster and better equiped and probably all of them will less vibrate :) There are plenty of bike whose price differs just few hundred bikes - i name them in the review (Honda CB300R, KTM Duke 390, Yamaha MT-03, Kawasaki Z300, BMW G310R, ...) It is massively competetive market and the customers such as you should benefit from.
To be completely honest I don't know about any concrete reliability issues of this bike. Good to mention I did not do any larger research. I know however about common problems of Benelli TNT1130 and if I decide and the price is similar or same I would trust more Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki. Specifically do not mentioning KTM, which had numerous problems with KTM Duke 390 (I hope they are all now fixed.). If someone really likes the design or the characteristics of this Benelli, I absolutely understand. I just say that in this category there are better bikes on market.
50 years ago we scoffed at Japanese machines? Look now! Maybe not the best in the world but reliable and affordable. I've had more that 5 Italian machines in my 45 years of riding and very few problems.
There is no proof that the Benelli is a money pit, if you want a money pit I have 3 Ducati's, I know about money pits. The Benelli is cheap so costs should be low not a pit.
As far as I know they are generally reliable, the problem is that as a "new" brand there are issues with availability of the parts. As far as I ve heard though BN251, BN302 and TRK502 (and leoncino,same engine) are reliable. Even if it is not that reliable don't forget that it is much cheaper to buy compared to japan bikes and have cheaper parts. Best thing you can do is test ride it, it might surprise you
good review, but why do a review on a "rental Bike"? they're always a little rough around the edges (brakes, tyres,suspension ) you should've went and got a test ride from a dealer. I think the new range of Benelli's are excellent value and having visited a local dealer i might consider one (TRK502 or Leonceno) as a future purchase.
As you say, you are 113KG. My question is, are you tall. I never saw that bike and i would like to see it. But im 195cm tall so can i fit on it ? As you say its bigger then competitors that is why i would like to check i out.
Nice bike, I have sale but white. Question, do the tocase arms are Shad? What make is the topcase you mounted to it? Can a Kappa K30 be mounted on Shad arms? Thanks in advance
Hi Alvaro, I am sorry I do not know the answer :( I have this bike only for about 3 days from a rental company and I am not sure about this compatibility.
I do not know which options you have in your country but I bet there are better bikes in the category of 300cc bikes, or let's say the bikes for beginners. For example just announced new Honda CB500X should not be much more expensive and still very good for begginers, most comfortable of all, most reliable etc etc. If it needs to be 300 cc range - I like KTM Duke 390 (not the best for traveling), Kawasaki Versys 300X, and from the naked bakes the Yamaha MT-03, Honda CB300R or just announced Kawasaki Z400. Awesome bikes.
IT IS GOOD.BUT THE PTOBLDM IS WHEN YOU WANT SELL IT AFTER 2-3 YEARS USE.IT IS THRILLER... AND YOU WILL LOST MUCH MONEY,IF FINALLY FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE IT...

In my opinion, this has the greatest sound of all 300cc bikes.
Εύκολα... Το χω ακούσει κ απο κοντά και έμεινα...
sound does not make a reliable bike.
@@ohwell2790 Anyone said something about reliabillity?
i own one for nearly 2 years by now 32000 km excellent bike without any flaws so far ,the best sounding bike in its range
Hi Charlie. I am happy you enjoy the bike! Ride safe :)
I also used to own a Benelli TNT300 here in India and had the best memories on her, she never ever gave any trouble and the sound was Eargasmic! At full revs she was a like screaming angel, had a lot of fun on this bike and miss her now after selling it around 2 years back. Had bought her in 2016

I like how critical you are to the bikes. very much appreciated. you need more subs/views.
Thanks Tomas. They will come for sure. But it is not my primary goal, i just love motorcycles and want to ride everyday haha :))
I own a tnt 300 ....well equipped....good build quality....gas mileage is osm....sweet sound...good top end power ..pretty good for nakeds..🤟🏽
What is osm? How is the acceleration?
General European prices 2018 all with ABS
BENELLI 38hp 4300 euros
Kawasaki Z300 39hp 5300 euros
Yamaha MT03 42hp 5450 euros
BMW G310R 34hp 6200 (!) euros
Honda CB300 29hp 4300 euros
you forgot the r3 but, it has the same engine with the mt-03
Ραφαήλ Καμπαδάκης no no... R3 should be compared vith Ninja 300 or Benelli 302r... They are Sport bikes, this is naked...
i know that

The 302s is an upgrade from the TNT 300, with a better performance, ABS, full led lighting, digital dashboard but the same beautiful sound
What's wrong with the exhaust pipe sound? I like it.

For a Spanish guy your accent is awesome. 😊
But he is a Czech guy :) same review in Czech language - th-cam.com/video/PvMGkSD1vJk/w-d-xo.html
Seems like you enjoyed but didn’t give much credit to this bike
As I say, it was influenced by the condition which the rental company gave me the bike. But overally it is not a bad bike :)
Also I think, that first impression was fun. I liked it. But then you realize that something you like in the beginning starts to be embarassing a little bit. Such as sound ot the bike. Anyway, for me is the most important to be honest in my reviews :)
Enjoying your reviews and the views of the island.

Oh!
Do you know any reliabilty problems about this bike ?
Or considerer its only fault of rent company ? Thanks.

What are the problems with the KTM 390 that you experienced?
Sound is the reason i am gonna buy it 😂
Leoncino! we want to see the Leoncino 500! ;)
Oh me too. I just need to find one for the review. It is quite difficult to find someone in the Czech republic, but I will try my best. Thanks!
On the tight mountain roads I bet the little Benelli with good corner speed takes some keeping up with? Power ain't everything is it!
Sound is great. I wanted to buy one but i wasnt sure cause of quality.. its soul is italian but produced in china :/..
50 years ago we scoffed at Japanese machines? Look now! Maybe not the best in the world but reliable and affordable. I've had more that 5 Italian machines in my 45 years of riding and very few problems.
john rocker the problem is if they are moneypits noone is gonna buy them.. and i dont wanna buy a moneypit too..
There is no proof that the Benelli is a money pit, if you want a money pit I have 3 Ducati's, I know about money pits. The Benelli is cheap so costs should be low not a pit.
It is being quality checked in China BY Italian engineers
As far as I know they are generally reliable, the problem is that as a "new" brand there are issues with availability of the parts.

But I are being bias
good review, but why do a review on a "rental Bike"? they're always a little rough around the edges (brakes, tyres,suspension )
you should've went and got a test ride from a dealer. I think the new range of Benelli's are excellent value and having visited a local dealer i might consider one (TRK502 or Leonceno) as a future purchase.
As you say, you are 113KG. My question is, are you tall.

I'm 68 kilos on this bike and 165 tall. Looks like a 650 on me. Lol.
It looks fire 🔥🔥 orgoglio italiano 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Nice bike, I have sale but white. Question, do the tocase arms are Shad? What make is the topcase you mounted to it? Can a Kappa K30 be mounted on Shad arms? Thanks in advance
Hi Alvaro, I am sorry I do not know the answer :( I have this bike only for about 3 days from a rental company and I am not sure about this compatibility.
Hi, may I know how to get that Top Box Bracket?
That's a beautiful road to ride on. Is this in Spain?
Hi!
So BMW 310 R or BN302??
(trail roads also)
I;m a tall guy - 187. Do you think this bike is suitable for my height?
Yes I own one, and I am 191 in height.
Good afternoon my boss. Pls am bright bettey in Ghana oti region kete krachi. Pls l need motor engine 302s benall to buy 🙏 Pls
I'm a new entry driver,and I'm 1:86 cm and I would like to travel with my motorcycle so what would you recommend me Benelli bn 302 or BMW 310 R?
I do not know which options you have in your country but I bet there are better bikes in the category of 300cc bikes, or let's say the bikes for beginners.

IT IS GOOD.BUT THE PTOBLDM IS WHEN YOU WANT SELL IT AFTER 2-3 YEARS USE.IT IS THRILLER... AND YOU WILL LOST MUCH MONEY,IF FINALLY FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE IT...
185kg is A LOT. My Versys 650 is 189 ...
As a big rider did it felt small to you?
I am 6ft3, 118kg and it doesn't feel small to me when I ride mine.
@@Sulu-sw3zo i bought my self a cfmoto 250nk instead and it turned out quite good.
This replaces the TNT 300 in Asia
So it's for A2 holders only... Not full A...
There is 125 version if you like it
U may be damn heavy dude....🤣 U better tour on a 600cc
Phew... it's disgustingly slow somehow :D
sounds like an old jawa 350 :D
