If your looking for a new 125cc that is easy to handle and an easy bike to ride ( Hmmm??) then take a look at this video and my thoughts on it.
Thanks in advance for watching. If you have any questions then place them in the comments below and I will try and will let you know the answer.

I did my CBT on a Honda CBF125 but decided to buy the TnT as my first bike having never ridden one. I can’t tell you how much of a smile it puts on my face when I ride it!! I use it to commute and leisurely and it’s just so much fun and so easy to filter with! Highly recommended! If you do buy one there’s a really useful and active UK owners page on FB too.
Yeap my grom was great for that, I'd have a benelli as a second bike now because I use for motorways etc. But as a city, pull out and go it's great. Thanks for watching 🍻👍
I have one I'm 63 it's a fabulous little bike it will put a smile on your face
A pull out and go bike👍🍻
exeter rider It's funny I bought my TNT last summer to add to my bike collection...I was never off it for a month then I took my Z1000 on a run it frightened the life out my 11bhp to 140 bhp scary ha ha
@@boomerhgt ha! It's a shocker isn't it, and when you go back to 10hp it's quite deflating for the first 10milrs😂🍻
exeter rider Very true but the funny thing is about town you have more chance of getting caught speeding on the little TNT, you never throttle down in fear of bleeding your speed off .
😂👍Yes you feel you have to gun it everywhere to stay away from the traffic to be safer I find. Ironic!
I've got a 2020 TNT. I love that little fun bike. I actually use it a lot more than I use my other bikes. It does everything it should in a very nice way. And indeed, it puts a smile on your face when you ride that thing, over and over again. Thanks for the nice review!
Goodo. Yes they are easy to just pull out and ride arnt they. Thanks for your time watching. Much appreciated 👍🍻
Enjoyed that very much, thank you. Your presentation style is really good - relaxed, clear and informative. Not a criticism, just an observation, the review is clearly city-centric and primarily aimed at what is undoubtedly the main market for this great little bike - young people and new riders, maybe commuters. There is another part of the spectrum. I'm 66, with a bad arthritic hip (due a replacement in New Year) and live in rural Northumberland. I have other bikes, but can't use them at the moment, so the Nellie is great for me - small and light, easy to move around and get on, as well as being great for the many small twisty back roads we have here. Anyways, a good, straight review, so, I look forward to watching more so have subscribed. Top job!
Thanks so much for subbing me Mike. I have plenty coming up but little on reviews this time of year...I like to try and mix it up a little anyway . Thanks for your feedback. And its great to have you on board!
Just bought one of these today, pick it up in a week 👍
Have fun! Let me know how you got on.
exeter rider will do 👍
Had this bike for a month now, done over 600 miles, only problem I had was with the headlight and high beam blasting into the trees, lucky there’s an adjustment screw.. apart from that no other problems.. awesome little machine.
Short bike = good for stoppies and wheelies ! (and with the indicator switch in the correct position 👍)
The "rider triangle" looks to be better than most bigger bikes.
I might get one for winter use as, being 6'4'', my knees could keep my ears warm.
C Cooper you will be fine,I sat on one a couple of years ago when I was looking for a new bike,the owner of the shop asked me to sit on the TNT when I was looking at it, and at 6ft3 with a 34 inseam I was surprised at how comfortable it was,I was very tempted to buy this bike but ended up getting a hanway scrambler as I thought it would be better for commuting. I’m still tempted to get one to stick in the bike stable.
Jason, what do you think of the Hanway. I don't know much about them but they look good. Chinese? Any issues on it and what milage have you done?
exeter rider the Hanway Scrambler 125 was a good bike,but being Chinese I always had that niggle in the back of my mind about longevity and getting spare parts if and when needed,I’m sure it would have gone on for years,but always owning Japanese bikes in the past I never felt this way before,so ended up selling the bike,I’m sure it was a age/mindset thing.at this present time I’m thinking of getting a scooter,(fed up with oiling & adjusting chains) but not sure which one to get,looking for something that can do 70 mph tops to keep up with traffic,so possibly 200cc,but there does not seem to be much middle ground between a 125cc and the larger cc maxi scooters,if you have any ideas or suggestions they would be appreciated 👍
Yes its a tough one with the chinese bikes isnt it. The bennelis are good bikes- really good and although the spares are avaliable and stocked in the UK it sometimes pends on the dealer to how complient they are and if your dealer is close by. I totally get what you mean its a tough one. Scooters right well the BMW 400 range is fantastic to ride - all this pends on your budget and what you want to do with it of course. The Forza 300 is a nice looking machine and a happy medium and good on the highways once the screen is sorted out and your not too tall. All depends what you will use it for really.
exeter rider I don’t want to spend a large amount as it’s just for a bit of fun for commuting on a nice day (30 mile round trip) I have the car as my main transport,but really just wanting something with a bit more power than a 125cc to go a bit faster on Dual carriageways.i was looking at a Sym Symphony st200 which is 169cc in reality but again I’m not sure of parts availability also Peugeot do a Belville 200 which I need to look into.if you get the chance to review these,I would be interested in your thoughts on them.
Somebody accidentally hit the dislike button while scrolling I see.
I can’t see me on one, but looks like bags of fun and the styling is fantastic.
Another great review sir!
Thanks saddle, yea as the channel gets bigger I get some serial dislikes. Bound to happen lol
Great bike and I'll agree on back roads what a hoot! Wish I had one. Vibes maybe down to testing machines with low mileage as most loosen up after 2000 miles.
Thanks for showing me this really help full definitely buying a motorbike when I older since I am 12 nearly 13
Brilliant thanks for watching. Motorbike's are great fun but ride safely because it hurts if you come off. Great to have you on board thanks.
@@exeterrider no thank you for showing me how to drive a motorbike always wanted to know how to ride one just need to find a way to get a licence for when I’m 16
Tbh i was gunning for a Grom, but they do hold there price, as you say, but the benneli was so competitive , I couldn’t help but have a peep
Yea the benelli has a better exhaust, extra gear, better seat, better suspension etc etc
Hi good video i have a VFR800 and been looking at one of these just a get around they look very good parts are cheap and easy to service too. :)
Could be alot of fun!!
Thought I was king on my 125 . Great fun.
🏍️💨
Good review I bought one last year it's a fun little toy to make you smile...but for real thrills I use my big bikes
Yes I'd have one as a second bike. As I'm sure you know it's great to just jump on and go compared to bigger bikes.
Fair comment, good comments , I’ve just ordered one of these, so pleased when hitting positives, yet too collect so looking forward
Sorry Steve-- UA-cam dint notify me of your comment. Brill mate. Have you got the bike yet? And what colour did you go for?
Yep got the black one ,had 2 wks lotta fun dry weather only 😳😆😆
Is the honda grom worth the double price or on the tnt you have fun as the grom ? Because is ndificult to find test the bikes can you tell me the cluch and gear box between these 2 bikes ?
The older groms were uncomfortable, the new 2023 grom had a really good seat and it's more comfortable, so if its something your keeping fit a while then the grom is a better bike but only if its one of the new groms, can you stretch to a new grom?
Great littel bike . i like one myself.
It's a brilliant little bike worth every penny and the looks you get on it...priceless
hi, I wanted to ask you a question. so I need to buy a bike but I'm short (155cm) or 5.1in. do you think I would touch the floor with my foot on this? If not, do you have any recommendations for me? thank you, great video
Hi, yes I think at your height you should be able to almost flat for on this bike 👍🍻
@@exeterrider ok thank you so much
🏍️💨💯💖👍😊
😀
Cool video 👍🙂
Thanks 👍🍻
How is it going from a DCT back to a manual, is there a period of hesitation or do you just fall back straight into it?
Fall straight into it Rob. Totally second nature. It's only when i sit on a africa twin or nc750 my brain says "manual or dct"
It's no problem I have an Africa Twin DCT and a little TNT
These are actually 135cc in the States and I assume some other countries. Shame it has to lose that little bit when there's not much to start with in order to meet some legal requirement.
It's the same bike
I totally agree, that extra 10 cc isn't alot but would be very welcomed! 125cc would be better as 150cc I think. Thanks for watching.
ijust bought one of these is it easy to do gears i am learning and wanting to lnow if its easy if never rode a geared bike before
It will be easy after a while...get lots of practice in around a empty carpark and always make sure /double check your in first gear when ever your stopped at the lights is my advice.
@@exeterrider thankyou i am going to prsctice on empty road near the beach in fleetwoodbefore i use it for work wen i get on it in neutral clutch down an click down to gear 1 wen i click it in to 2 will it automatically skip neutral
wen filling up the petrol tank with unleaded how many miles should you get out of it coz mine seems to be using petrol fast
@@ryanjackson6603 I don't know, but between 80 and 100 miles is say.
@@exeterrider ok thankyou yea i say that about right tbf i read the miles gage wrong i thought i did 22.1 miles but it must be 221 wen should i do the first oil change after how many miles thankyou for your advice its very helpful
Benelli tornado or daytona hobby ?
What's the difference between these bikes...
I know nothing about the day to a but its based on the grom. Looks great. The TNT is a total different bike
Given their size, are they more easily stolen?
They are still over 100kg when a standard size 125 is around 130ish,so yes they are easier to whip away, but it's more of a mental thing really with it being a small bike. It's something you have to consider when parking for a amount of time, chain it and alarm disc lock it. 🔗
@@exeterrider Thanks a million for the reply and good advice. As you say, it's a lovely little bike and so practical, making so much sense to own for city and suburban riding. If I was buying one I'd definitely get as good a lock (or locks) as I could afford and yes an alarm (and maybe a tracking device). Great video. Thanks
Hallo kann mann die tnt 125 etwas schneller machen??
Hi, ja, aber für das, was Sie bezahlen, wäre es das einfach nicht wert. Ich erwarte, dass Sie nur weitere 5 kmh erreichen können.
@@exeterrider was bekommt mann da ECU ???
@@gregorokwieka4642 Maybe, buts its still only a 125cc
No one seems worried about the engine reliability and the warranty.
Not everyone knows that Benelli has became a registered brand name and no more.
Everyone is worried about reliability I find. A bit too much. From my research they have been very reliable, and to my knowledge they come with a 2 year warranty. Many of the design team from Italy still work for the brand. Benelli have a uphill struggle to gain much deserved consumer confidence in my view.
@@exeterrider By the tone of your replay it's clear that you got a slice of cake by doing this review, but we all know that online reviews are never done for free.
Man I used to sell Benelli many years ago, the original brand.
I know about Benelli much more than you do and I know that today Benelli got nothing to do with Italian style engineering and manufacture.
My reviews are done for free, not even a slice of cake. Overall Chinese bikes have been problematic over the years but these benellis seem to be pretty damn good in my opinion and research.
@@exeterrider Ok then if you talk about opinion, I believe you.
I own a TNT and have done about 3.000 km in the last three months. Quality is way better than I expected from an Italian/Chinese bike. Constructed quite well, everything feels solid, no oil consumption. No compaints so far!
Exeter rider how tall are you please?
5/8 with a 30inch inside leg
exeter rider great video love the bike but I’m 6ft
There is another youtuber who owned one as is 6/2. Sit on one and see what you think. It may be OK for you.
The chinese make good stuff
They are doing well and getting there.
