    Just coming back from test riding both TNT 25 and TNT 300. Awesome machines I must Say.
    My ride experience on both bikes is almost similar, except 300 feels a bit heavy and difficult to handle especially in traffic turns between vehicles.
    25 is nimble though gives a mascular stance, easy to move in traffic.
    The firing of benelli 300 is powerful and sonic, but attracts unwanted attention from people, also for long distances may become irritating ang bothersome. For me 25 firing was perfect so no need for any aftermarket addons to improve sound😀. I must appreciate benelli for making their machines sound so humble that you fall in love.
    Both bikes look mascular and styling is somewhat similar, only difference is 300 has slightly broad rear tyre and pillion seat space appears to be better, but believe me 25 also provides similar comfort for pillion. I tried both bikes with and without pillion, no difference in my opinion if pillion is of average size.

    Finally booked 25, Red colour. Wait time is 2 months😞. Dealer did not have white, but has informed that before registration i can change and select white colour if reqd.
    Now my job is only to wait and dream, till this baby comes to me.
    Congrats Good To See More Owners pouring in, I was little bored for last few weeks

    I am new to xbhp and this is my first post glad to be here.. I booked my Tnt 25 on 2 Jan and now waiting for delivery which is expected to be on 31 Jan and its very difficult to wait this long and lots of sleepless nights hope i get this on 31 Jan. And a very good review Bikelover. Btw any update you can provide on bite of brakes of your Tnt 25 any improvement you noticed? And just wanted to add one additional information that i checked with dealer and got know that we can add additional disc in front like Tnt 300 as they have already kept this provision for Tnt 25 but i will still confirm this from the workshop if additional disc is added in front as it can definitely improve the bite of front brake.

    which colour did you book? Post your user experience soon.
    Happy Riding.
    2 months is too much, wait for RED man, It looks nice on road.

    Congrats, 750 Woahhhhh, you are enjoying your ride man !! I am done with 700KM, I am not able to ride it for last few days, I stay in pune as well, probably we can meet someday



    Ok, An update which will help all guys

    The black tank between the tank seems to fade away(Getting Whitish), irrespective of you park your bike in Shade or not.

    So Went to 3M care yesterday they have carbon fiber black wrap.

    Will be wrapping the Tank black middle part and scoops with Black Carbob Fiber wrap, the cost involved is around 3K, once done will post pics here.

    We tried few and it was looking awesome. It will boost up the looks of the bike for sure.

          I just took a test drive yesterday afternoon of the TNT 25 and believe me this bike is just unique. The exhaust note is awesome and much better then duke with a bassy grunt. And the footrest position is better then the duke.

          Its not easy being a tall person with long legs if you like motorcycles as most performance motorcycles are made to accommodate short heighted people. And if you want a bike well suited for a tall person you only get cruisers and royal enfields.Even though i am a punjabi and everyone here owns a RE i still really dont those bikes. But after taking a test drive of the benelli TNT 25 it actually was really comfortable and really accommodating for me, PLUS there was a generous amount of legroom and is more accommodating for an average pillion( well better, longer, wider, plusher then the duke).

          Vibrations were there but only in 2nd gear and other then that when you reach top end of the power band. But are bearable and actually didn't notice the vibrations.

          One thing I noticed is that the greatest amount of acceleration that you get in any gear of this bike is in the 2nd gear.
          That means that the proportion or amount of g force you feel in any gear with respect to speed is present in the 2nd gear. That's probably why the bike vibrates in 2nd gear. ( please do not fight with me about this as everyone has a different perspective)

          Brakes are good but not as good as the duke. Is 4 way adjustable also.

          Anwaykale I just wanted to ask if the additional front disc brake can be installed at time of purchase? Also how much does it cost? And last question is does changing braking pads give better feedback braking and how much do they cost?

            Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

            Hi theresponsiblebiker as per the dealer additional disc cannot be fitted at the time of purchase and it needs to be get fitted afterwards from the workshop and regarding the cost he told me that currently additional disc fitment parts are not available as the bike is new and the parts will be available in a month then only will get know regarding price. And regarding changing pads i can't comment right now as i yet to get delivery of my vehicle but i think changing pads will certainly make difference will check with service center for further details.
            Thanks,
            Anway Kale.

              Hi all just an quick update which i received from dealer price for frame sliders of tnt 25 is around 4K to 5K and adjustable clutch and front brake levers is around 8K to 9K. As we all know by default front brake leveris adjustable but these are different levers looks sporty

                    Thanks for update..
                    Just wanted to check, Do you wash your bike daily/frequently, if so with what detergent. regular soaps are harsh on fibre parts.
                    Also do you put any parking cover, as that also leads to wind friction & fading due to it. Also do you use parking cover, if so what make.(cloth,PVC).
                    Asking you, as we can take precautions accordingly.
