    I done my CBT on this bike last month and i was amazed with how light it felt, this was my first motorcycle experience so it may not be anything special, but i fell in love with it after i done my test, im getting one later this month and i cant explain how exited i am and this video has just made me even more excited to own one. Amazing video 👍

    I’d agree the tnt is more fun , I’ve actually 3 TNT’s and bought a bn just to compare , the bn is a great bike , comfort and suspension is epic , I’ve maxed the bn out at 77mph down hill , the tnts top out at 69 down hill , if your more inclined not to take yourself serious , go tnt , but the bn is a capable comfortable smooth ride , I’m impressed 🏍👍,

      Both good options. Out of those personally I would go for the Benelli. The Sym is not a bad option, but it’s a physically bigger bike. The Benelli is more learner friendly.

      This bike should be fine for you. If you want to make sure then go to dealers and sit on one. Or what about one of these? The Keeway RKV125. I’ve done a review recently and I think they are awesome! ua-cam.com/video/EyL2IyEXvRM/v-deo.html. They have a really low seat being a cruiser and they look amazing.
