There was nothing in this video that would sway me from purchasing the Benelli TNT 135. I believe the bike rides comfortable and outperforms all of its competitors for top speed and handling. The Benelli hands down is the best-looking and economical mini moto available.
I have the same color 2021…5’8” 155lbs my reasoning for buying was bc of fun. Got hwy speed from 61mph to 68-69mph w : Sprint intake (chimera ram air) Cat DE down pipe 16tooth front sprocket 35 tooth rear sprocket Now I’m hwy capable
The benelli is twice the bike the grom is for most people.. we’ve owned both and have kept the 2018 and 2022 135 around vs the 2017 grom… it’s simply a better bike on paper and off.. it’s not refined as well as the Honda but we’re talking mini bikes here, not cbr1ks..
The speedo can be re-calibrated easily, just search youtube for instructions, I fixed mine. My TNT 125 doesn't squeak; it's not all of them that have that problem. I think mine is great as long as I don't try take it over 60mph, then it makes me sad :/ Great for lane splitting around the city.
I think I owned mine for less than a year also, never liked it as much as the z125 I’d had previously. Had a few issues with it and got them mostly fixed under warranty but the shift feel of the bike was always awful, overall it just didn’t feel like a quality piece. You can adjust the speedometer to be more accurate but again, something you shouldn’t have to do.
To me the Honda grom and the Kawasaki z125 are just to small and make no sense to own I had one didn’t like it bogged going up hills cars pull out in front of you because it’s to slow there basically a novelty and to sink money into something just to ring more power out of it to me makes no sense just buy a bigger bike …l.I would say if …..if Honda or Kawasaki and or Yamaha brought their full size 125 cc bikes here I would very interested in one of those instead no mods stock you can get 75 mph out of one of those stock without throwing all kinds of money into it ….but if I had to own a small bike for sure the binelli would be it it’s more of a real motorcycle you don’t feel like your sitting on a toy

The only complaint I have with mine is handle bar vibration. I run with the headlight switch in the middle which lights hi and low beams together
I just rode a 2018 135 across America 2023 cannonball race. San clemente to hilton head south carolina
Woah! How did it do?
a lot of pressure and spectations for a cheap bike man :/

It's a cheap little bike, you want a freaking Harley Fatboy for the price of a mini fridge.
So what you're saying is anybody with basic mechanical skills can make this bike even better
Thanks for this video. Helps me decide to just get a grom.
I’m not getting one now. Thanks for the heads up. Honda Monkey it is!
That bike sounds like a tuned B16/18 type r motor on Best Motoring…those roads look bad up close.
Can't believe there aren't more choices in this category. Don't know why Yamaha, Suzuki and KTM don't jump in. Imagine what Ducati could come up with
you complain more than my wife.
Agree 😂
That thing looks fucking rad!

Agree, top speed on the TNT 135 stock is amazing. The Grom, z125 and the little NAVI cannot compare with the Benelli's performance.
The TNT 135 smokes an ugly Grom!
Get a kp mini 150 rs efi!
Charlie rides motorcycles...that's hot!
Only issue I have with mine is the seat. I can't find any aftermarket seats.
Aftermarket support is a big reason to go Grom.
Is a LIFAN any good? They're sold on amazon.
Not sure, probably not great but fine to play with for a short time
Stay away from those.
Depends on the lifan. They actually used to help make Honda motors. The kpm is awesome and really recommend.
is this better than grom?
I prefer the Grom, but it's close enough to be personal preference
