I think the bandit 600 would be a better choice. The engines are bulletproof in terms of reliability and can really take a beating. Which if it's your first big bike, is exactly what you want.😄
I can understand why you would apprehensive because of your current experience. It does look and sound very sweet though. Personally, I would prefer a bike made in Japan, UK or Italy. Be safe mate.
I think with most Chinese bikes that have a carburetor are alot better than the fuel injection bikes. Carbs are cheap and harder to get rong and its realy easy to swap a new one on. With injectors obviously there not gonna be the best mainly because thave got to make a proper ecu and all that jazz. My 1st bike even tho it was slow as a tourtus from new I revd the living daylights out of it and still ran perfectly I kept up with all the maintenance and stuff. So Chinese bikes may be a bit lower quality than a Japanese bike also remember that alot of small cc Japanese bikes are made in China thay are still pretty good what isn't good are the injection systems. Rant over XDDDDD good vid mate
Yeah I completely agree with that. the plastics and the metals on my tnt are brilliant. and especially when you consider the many times I have dropped my bike it's not come out bad at all. And that was one of my concerns because usually on the Chinese bikes they cheap out on the metal and plastics. I think if they put more time and research in to the injectors then these bikes would be just as good as Jap bikes. Probably a bold claim but I think they would. I just don't get why they don't spend the extra bit of money 😂
Check out the pictures of the 600rr Bennett's have just put out. Benelli are getting so much better which is why chinese conglomerats own these european brands and invest in development. I own a new Kawasaki so haven't put my own money in but benelli didn't have the style or capacity bikes at the time. I seriously looked at the leoncino 500 it just wasn't what I wanted but not because of its chinese in origin.
Just took a look now and yeah I'm impressed. they look really nice. the only thing I don't like about it and it's not really a big thing, the mirrors look a bit silly to me but then that would be an easy fix anyway. Yeah they definitely have come a long way now. And I don't have anything against it being in China or anything like that because pretty much everything is made in China anyway 😂. But they do still have a way to go in the electronics sector.
Other than it cutting out when it was cold. And that doesn't mean it would happen to anyone else but other than that yeah it was great. I would prefer to spend a bit more money on it if I knew it was going to be more reliable.
I'd personally say the MT125 with a Lextek can on it sounds absolutely amazing. Nearly like a 500 supermoto on downshifts at times. Problem is, because of the small engines, 125s generally don't have the best sound out of all the singles out there
@@andrewb2181 Well exactly. my main thought at the moment for many at the moment is the whole thing with China. I mean things have really changed this year haven't they
@@SpikeyOfficial yes the world is in uncertainty at the moment. If you are looking at a 600cc take a look at a honda hornet 600, 100bhp and you can pick one up for under £2k. Good bikes.
Don't worry I'm not buying another benelli 😂😂
What would you recommend as a nice sounding 125cc motorcycle other than mutt
@@casheycodercasheycoder4823 Now that depends if it is from stock? or with an aftermarket exhaust?
i have one, and no problems so far.
I have bn125 no problem so far 20 000 miles and going strong good luck mate

Yeah they are honestly my last choice. nothing against them I think they are solid bikes 😂
Where is the actual bike? Review without it?
I can understand why you would apprehensive because of your current experience. It does look and sound very sweet though. Personally, I would prefer a bike made in Japan, UK or Italy. Be safe mate.
Yeah the exhaust note is the main reason I liked this bike so much. Definitely still going for a jap bike for my first bike I think. You too mate.

The bigger capacity bikes are hopefully of a better build quality.
Well yeah that's true. I mean you would hope that because I wouldn't want something going wrong at high speed 😬. I would love to try one out.
The 125 was alright though wasn’t it
Other than it cutting out when it was cold. And that doesn't mean it would happen to anyone else but other than that yeah it was great. I would prefer to spend a bit more money on it if I knew it was going to be more reliable.
I think it looks pretty cool tbh love that sound as well, very nice. Butttt mt07 I’d rather have 👌👌
Yeah exactly it's either that or the competition out there which is like the mt-07 ect. so much more choice out there.
Spikey yeah I know it’s hard to choose aha
What would you recommend as a nice sounding 125cc motorcycle other than mutt
Infact hold that thought I will make a video about it 👌

@@SpikeyOfficial thanks mate I love it when you tubers actually listen to their comments thank you and I can't wait for the new video
Watched in full 🙂
How many miles do you have on your TNT?
I’ll take Japanese quality over Chinese poor quality 💯 can’t beat Japanese✌🏻🇨🇦
Definitely can't. it's even more worrying to buy a Chinese bike what with the whole situation going on.
Don’t go Chinese my dude
Too late I already did 5 years ago 😂
Personally wouldnt bother stick with japanese, german or british at least you should be able to get parts more easily
