Hello vamsi,
As of my opinion both bikes are good for beginners if you addicted with sound and pricing you can go with TNT 300 or else looking for budget proposition just stick with TNT 25.

Okay thanks

The bike cost is not an issue but i guess the service costs will become an issue in the future
I might just stick to the tnt 25 then , maybe in the future i can upgrade to a higher capacity bike

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

How is the heating issue on the bike ?
Does it burn the legs during city rides ?

Hi Vamshi,
Heating issue of my bike has reduced to a great extent as compared to initial run in phase before 1000 kms. Currently my bike has done around 7k kms and completed 8 months of ownership. When stuck in traffic at very slow moving pace engine tends to heat up but not upto to high extend as radiator fan kicks in to control the heat but thats not an issue its normal with any high performance engine.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

HI guys, Regarding the brake pad cost of TNT 25 being higher compared to 300 is because of the brake pad assembly of TNT 25 is that of 600s. This was the answer given to me by Mr. Sasi in our forum. He is an expert in Benelli bikes. Hope this clears the doubt.

Thanks for the information mate. I also checked on ali express and the cost of sintered brake pads for Tnt 600i is approx Rs 2014 hoping it will be a direct fit to Tnt 25 brake as brake pad assembly is same. Only question will be how much will be the custom/any other charges and quality.
Guys anybody of you have ordered anything from ali express if yes it will be helpful for fellow riders regarding the information on any additional charges like customs, shipping etc and quality.

One of my friend who has a 600 bought it from aliexpress http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Benel...08.0.55.XskxaK
He has kept this as spare, so no feedback on quality.

Found benelli bn251 (tnt25) sintered rear brake pads on AliExpress...for 740 rs
Sintered brake pads might trouble the rotors I guess...😑

Great can you please share the link. By default DSK Benelli use sintered brale pads only as per the information i got from service engineer in Pune. Hence they sell it such a high price because they are sintered one and same sintered ones are fitted on Tnt 25.

I think this is the one in the bottom he is talking about, I have asked the seller if it fits TNT 25, will wait for his confirmation.

Its ridiculous on DSK side to mark the break pad for 4K for a 250 CC bike, whatever they are imported or not, that does not make any sense.

for my I10 i pay not more than 3K and for my CIVIC i don't pay more than 8 to 10K for service.

and then we paying 8K for a bike does not make any sense, and what we do is just drain the oil and change few filters. purely Ridiculous....

i am not at all recommending this bike to anyone going forward period.

Yes Bikelover its really ridiculous. After confirmation from seller we can order the brake pads so that we can alsp bargain with seller if we order multiple brake pads.

Edit : "Bulk Price: get an additional 5% off when you buy 2 pair or more" just now saw this on product page.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Bros, I heard that Benelli uses some parts that are locally procured. Is that true? So DSK pricing is too high and they milk their customers like hell!
