- I drove to another State to find a Benelli Dealer so that I could check out a 2022 Benelli TNT135, Mini Moto.
Often called the Grom Killer, the results were, well, let's say interesting. Italian designed, you know it's going to be like a piece of art work. And that it is. Absolutely beautiful can't describe this bike in person.
The 135cc slanted vertical engine, is fuel injected, and rated at 11(+) to 13 horse power depending where you get your specs. This is a much better design than a horizontal engine like the Grom that wears heavy on the bottom of the cylinder. This Engine design contributes to a longer lasting engine. Plus there are 4 valves, and two sparkplugs.
Well the poor Benelli had to go home with me, and I promised her I would not abuse it. ;) .
This is just an introduction before the First Ride, and other videos which will follow. So of course there will be much more to come, so subscribe today and you will be able to follow along the journey with me.
Thank you for watching, and please give this video a like and thumbs up. Be sure to leave a comment, I answer them all!
I'll appreciate you all so much! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Street legal minibikes are so cool. Great looking bike.
Nice New Mini Bike 😀
Thank you William. The first motor bike I ever rode was a Honda 50 Mini Trail. We were unlicensed, under age, and uncontrollable. 😂🤣 This Mini Moto is a perfect residential sports bike, and a real hoot. Scooter 🛵 sized, perfect for the whole family and new riders coming up in mine. We have 3 other lawnmower engine mini's, but now one is street legal. I've 'commuted' across town a couple times and it does just fine.
@@frdbecker I got the Benelli BN302R. but mine is too heavy 😞 but great to get to work with & back 😀
@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie I've been wanting to research some of the other Benelli bikes. But I seem to be so busy all the time I'm never caught up. Although you say your Benelli is heavy what's the performance like? I'm sure if it's like mine it's a bit heavier because of the steel frame. If that's the case though sometimes it's still frame is an awesome feature. You're welcome to tell me more about it anytime you like.
@@frdbecker 208Kg just like a cbr650r from honda. 38 German Horse Power. but use 4.7Liter fuel on 100Km. and service every 3000Km. 😞
@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie Maybe German Horsepower is strong, like Bull. 😂. But you are getting equivalent of 50 miles to a US Gallon, which is not bad at all. Most of my 500-650cc class bikes average 50-60 miles to a gallon. Maybe if you ride it a bit slower 🤔🤔🤔😅 Mine recommended service intervals is also 3000 miles. It's a Benelli thing I guess. I was married to an Italian, and they seem to be high maintenance. 😂🤣
You have a Chinese bike with an Italian name badge.
Absolutely correct, designed by Italian engineering, built by Qianjiang, a division of Zhejiang Geely Holdings, that bought the rights to Benelli I believe in 2005. You might be interested to know my Japanese Honda Rebel 500 is built in Thailand, and in 2019 Harley Davidson also signed contract to have Qianjiang build Harley motorcycles for it's foreign markets. Although USA Harley-Davidson motorcycles are assembled in US factories, components come from many countries including Germany, Japan, Italy, Taiwan, Mexico, and China. 🤔
This is our World, and the products are good, and desired by many.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Cooperation of Companies around the world.
@@frdbecker Unbelievable that this little piece of junk could be such a big problem.
No wonder this circuit failed, it says made in Japan.
What do you mean doc, all the best stuff is made in Japan.
Unbelievable. 😛
@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie Sorry late reply. Family in town. Did I miss something? What piece of junk are we talking about.
@@frdbecker From Back to the Future. when Doc Brown find out it's made in Japan. and think it's junk. but it's not. just like today most parts are Made in China. and that does not mean it's junk. 😀
@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie There was a very political incorrect saying when I was young. It had two words, the second one was Crap. It did refer to Japanese products. They almost always broke. Then they introduce cars here in the United States which were subsidized by their dog racing in Japan which is controlled by the government. The Japanese government often subsidized manufacturers to produce products at much less than they cost so they could capitalize markets with low price goods. Then came the time when the Japanese innovated with modern technology and create some of the best products in the world today.
About 30 years ago the same thing was pretty typical of things from China. But today the world is inundated with absolutely wonderful Chinese products. In fact most corporations that sell products have them made in China, or they have China made parts.
It would be my hope that United States of America will again innovate and take back production of many things. My early years I was a machinist in the aerospace industry and I saw the erosion of the need for manufacturing personnel. So it's in my heart to see manufacturing come back because truly out of everything I've done that was the most wonderful time in my life, work-wise anyways.
