The 'BENELLI' facility is just up the Autostrada from me here in Italy, in Pesaro, on the Adriatic Coast. Whilst QJ owns the 'BENELLI' brand the bikes are styled and design engineered here - with pride ! (NB: A lot of reviewers forget that this bike has a Twin Spark engine with an oil cooler)

@@robertochu5337 I never said it wasn't. I specifically said .." ...design engineered..". By the way, both BMW and KTM have certain high-capacity engines manufactured for (not 'by') them in China and you should see the links between Harley-Davidson and Zhongsheng, The latter also has very tight manufacturing ties with the PIAGGIO Group.

Hi There, I concur with everything you said in this video! I own the green Benelli TNT135, also Kymco Spade 150i and a Kawasaki Z125 Pro. I love them all but the Benelli fits a larger rider best out of the three. Owned big bikes all my life and find these smaller machine easy to buy, easy to own and just So Much Fun! Cheers. :)

Very good review. But the main thing is that tnt135 is not an update of the Tnt125. It's just a variant for the USA market. In Europe it's still only the 125. As far as I know there is not much actual difference between the two in performance.
@motostralia5563 Жыл бұрын
Hi, AKS13V. That’s very interesting. I was wondering why the 125 and 135 seemed to be selling at the same time. Regarding performance - yep, I can see how that could be correct. It would be difficult to tell without riding them back to back, which is probably what has been done. Thanks for watching, Len

as of this year in Australia its now gone back to a 125 instead of the 135. 😔 what sort of top speed to you get? will it sit on 100kph?
@motostralia5563 Жыл бұрын
Hi, VV, thanks for watching. Yes, it’s strange… However, It does seem, from what I’ve read in one of the comments posted here, that both the 135 and the 125 were offered in different countries. Maybe we received some 135s in Oz and now we are getting the 125s 🤔 Anyway, either capacity is great. Travelling at 100kph the bike was pulling at around and 9000 rpm. So, yes it will do 100, but I wouldn’t want to sit there for an extended period of time. It’s more comfortable up to about 90kph. When you’re doing that speed on a small bike like this, you certainly know it. Take care, Len

Its a beautiful bike and affordable the only thing that makes me think twice is the aftersale and if the parts is easily accessible?
@motostralia55639 ай бұрын
Hi, Rasheed. Yes, the little Benelli looks so nice. Aftersales service is dependent on a couple of things: the quality of the dealership service and the availability of spare parts, which depends on supply from the local brand distributor - in this case, Benelli. Maybe search online and see what people are saying about each of these variables. However, I wouldn’t be too concerned about spares so much as the quality of the dealer service - check them out and see how you feel. Cheers, Len

Hello Sir I'm debating on getting a Benelli 135 this coming week. I've had a Z125 for 3 years and put a whopping 11k miles on it before I started having issues. Is the Benelli 135 worth purchasing in your opinion Sir???
@motostralia5563 Жыл бұрын
Greetings, Venom Rides. The Benelli 135 is a great little bike for the price. From my experience, it’s definitely a bike worth buying if that’s the kind of bike you’re after. However, if you haven’t taken one for a test ride, I’d recommend doing that to see how you feel on it. All the best with your decision. Cheers, Len

@motostralia5563 Жыл бұрын
Hi, David. I’m 179 cm and I have no trouble riding the bike. However, there’s no getting around the fact that the TNT125 is a small bike for just about everyone. It’s small, but that’s part of the charm, and skill, of learning to ride it. At your height, I’m sure you would fit on the bike, but it will feel small - that’s a huge part of the fun. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Len

Hello from Melbourne. Geat video. Just wondering how the bike is holding up and anything you don't like about it? Thinking of getting one early next year so just doing my research now.
@motostralia5563 Жыл бұрын
Hi, Alex, thanks for watching. The bike belonged to my daughter-in-law and she used it while on her L plate and P plate. During that time she had no problems at all. She has since sold the bike and I still see it running around town. I’m not sure if you are a current rider, but it’s not a bike I’d recommend for learners as it is quick steering and higher speed corners can be a little scary for new riders as the bike turns in very quickly. However, this aspect of the handling is what makes it so much fun for competent riders. I hope this helps in your deliberations. If you can arrange a test ride, do that. But as far as reliability is concerned, the motor shouldn’t be a problem at all. Cheers, Len
