Finally, a review on the tnt 125 in English. Been waiting for this
I've got a red TNT 125 just like in the review that is going in for its first service next week. I'll be asking plenty of questions for sure about parts.
I commute everyday on this bike through the Tyne Tunnel and its fantastic. A very fun bike for shorter stints here and there. Was out on Sunday and got plenty of looks from other bikers. Even had a random guy stop his car and jump out ask about it when I was washing it about a week ago.
For the price £2200 on the road you can't complain, it is built to budget but so far its held up well. The only problem was finding insurance as the bike was so new. Bemoto Insurance was the best by a long margin. Lexham were useful as well. Hope that info helps somebody...
The tnt 125 comes as a 135 in the states and the 302 started as a tnt300 but for 2020 they rebadged it the 302. Bought both and they are a blast to ride and an excellent addition to my collection spanning 1985 to present. Haven’t found the 500 adventure series yet but I’m looking for one. The bikes are quality and take a good thrashing without issue to date. Really like the two I have now!
Can't wait for my Benelli BN125 next month!! Need more reviews on them in English
The David Brent of 125 motorcycles
The 300’s smart, looks like a baby Shiver👍
I'm not a fan of adventure style bikes, but I am fairly excited to see how the Leoncino 502 shapes up. If it goes as good as it looks and is reliable then it could be a game changer of a bike for Benelli, it's a beautiful bike.
I agree, it is like a bigger version of my FB Mondial!!
love the tnt it looks alot bigger than the grom
Gary Mcevoy it’s a bit taller and I find it better than the grom personally. A few mods and I’m still 1700 dollars cheaper. Been riding it over a year and a half now with zero issues
In Kenya we've recently received the Benelli TNT 25. Can you make a review video of it, if you have it in your market?
I know, i know, 4 years is a long time ago, but: how does that BN302/TNT300 fare with two up riding? Is it comfortable? Both for rider and pillion?
They call it "play bikes" 👍👍
We don't get the Kawasaki Z125 in Europe because it's not Euro 4 compliant.
Can someone tell me which bike he is riding in the starting of the video
FB Mondial HPS 125...with slight modification. There is a review and mod video on the channel too.
Is it available in India?
You should check out the Daelim Daystar 125 or Sinnis Terrain 125 :)
We have done the Sinnis Terrain, please check out our other videos
Do you think this is a better buy than the Honda msx125 as it will be my first bike and as I'm a complete novice I need all the help I can get.Great review .
The Honda grom is a great bike but at £1,300 more than the TNT, I see no point. The TNT is a great reliable, good looking bike.
Thanks for the reply. Over here in Ireland it's £700 dearer for Honda at this price difference is the benilli still worth it and would it be as reliable.
I'm getting a Keeway RKS 125 and it says it is designed by benelli designs. Does this mean it was designed by Benelli and then made in China?
Yes, pretty much. Like Benelli...and FB Mondial.
Benelli tnt 125 it’s gorgeous....but how is the quality?🤔
To be completely honest with you.....superb!
sadly here in Chile, benelli has THE worst authorized dealers, plus most of the bikes had problems with mapping, distribution chain problems, faulty water pumps and the list goes on and on.
That is disappointing to hear, we haven't heard such problems in the UK, not sure about the rest of the world. What bikes do well in Chile?
Same here in Germany. i got the bn302r tornado. :-( i'll never ever buy benelli again !!!
I hear what you say about the improved design and quality of some of these "Chinese owned, designed by Italy" motorbikes. But it seems to me their parts supply chain is crap in the U.K. My wife had an unfortunate shunt on her HPS 125 (nudged off her bike while stationary at a junction by an inattentive driver). The dealership are unable to sort out repairs, because the U.K. supplier (MotoGB) quote the parts as being unavailable with no dates for when they will be in stock. How do you put a vehicle on sale without the parts to maintain/repair it? I'm regretting not getting her the new KTM Duke 125. For the extra 500quid over the price of the Mondial, we'd have had superior build quality and an assured parts supply chain should the worst happen. You live and learn I suppose.
Interesting and also sad to hear...hope she is ok? Surely in that circumstance the company should give a courtesy bike until parts can be sought by Italy/China?
Motors for the Masses she was a little shaken, but none the worse for wear, thanks. We're waiting for the insurance companies evaluation of the damage and then we'll see what happens. As you suggest, we may need to speak directly to MotoGB.
Good luck, please let us know the outcome....
Motors for the Masses just got word from the insurers. The Mondial is a write off! This for a bike that fell over from stationary! I'm sorry, but no matter how nice these bikes look, their manufacturers really need to work on the quality of build. For those of you with HPS125s, be wary of the rider foot peg mounting points. The metal plate on which they're mounted is welded onto the bike's frame. That weld is a massive weak point. Any significant pressure on the pegs (like when the bike falls on its side) and a crack develops at the welds and continue into the frame. This is the reason for my wife's Mondial's write off.
WOW! That is quite shocking to hear! Thank you for letting us know. I assume your insurance company paid out for you?
have you test rode a bullit hero 125 ?
Hi, not yet but it is on the list of ones to test!
might be a bit late for me as out in the morning to buy new bike as my last one was nicked a couple weeks back and wrote off and I need transport. but all the reviews I've seen have conflicting information on performance and the like. No problem will see what I get when I get there
Interested to see what you come away with
Lat us know on our facebook page
well it's a toss up between ajs cadwell the bullit spirit and the bullit hero
L plates on the bike he rode on intro would indicate Learner rider, having passed his test to ride a maximum 125cc on the public highway. His test rides on the bigger bikes were done on private, not public roads, so strictly speaking, no law breaking. Nice vid....
Very much so. Thank you! L plate as never got round to doing test as never really needed to. 56 cars and 11 motorbikes over 27 years of driving/riding....now going to do my test.
Bike test that is
what is the maximum speed this motorcycle?
4m55 will answer your question
How tall are you please?
Around 5ft 11
Thanks for that. Reason I asked was because at 5' 8" and 29" inseam I wonder if I'd be struggling with the seat height?
"Their quality control is still in italy!" Great! That still means crappy switchgear and horrendous electrics! Anyone with a Morini or Moto Guzzi will tell you that!
At least with a Chinese bike, you expect it...
roythearcher I own both the 135 and the 300 and have had zero issue with either one. They are both quality bikes. Been riding since 1985 and have a nice collection. I’m adding the 500 soon so that should say something about them
125?
Benelli customer service is crap, I had to wait 6 months for 2 parts, 6 months each. they no longer support these motorcycles. Cheap and nasty, they failed.
You are completly wrong bro, every piece i request from them, they deliver in 1/2 days
@@dFuZeRProductions do you think I can't read the date correctly? Where do you live bud?
@@MrMuttonboy Portugal, Europe, i ask for pieces and stuff where i got my benelli and then they just get them in around 2 days
@@dFuZeRProductions no wonder, I'm in New Zealand. They don't talk. Last update I received is that they no longer backlog parts for the tnt25, they are not making it any longer, I had to wait 6 months for a thermostat.
@@MrMuttonboy what do u mean? Did o get the motorcicle online?
MATE! Riding around with no leathers, boots or gloves? Really? What kind of example are you for safety?
You can still lose a lot of skin tipping off in a car park!
Really? A 4 mph ride in and I get that kind of feedback...really? I wonder if the majority of the western...and eastern world feel the same way. I ALWAYS wear ALL the gear when riding on the road...a 4mph ride in to shot is not really the same. Besides, I was wearing my AllSTAR ankle bike boots and my pad protected bike jeans!!
Yes Really!... take it from someone who's had a full bike licence for the last 31 years. You can still lose a lot of skin off your unprotected elbows and shoulders even at 4 mph in a car park, I ve seen it on too many occasions as its the "Dont worry , I'm only going round the corner!" guy with no proper protection who ends up having a spill! because he feels the distance isn't a factor! But if you don't want to listen to the voice of experience and learn by other peoples mistakes, its up to you!
