    From your list, the FZ25 would be the best bet

            I have not heard anything about the launch of bmw g310r in india. I don't think that they will be launching g310r anytime soon in india atleast not this year.

              I read somewhere that they're delaying because they couldn't fix a price tag matching to our economy. i. e if they put it less than 2L like duke it will degrade the brand, if they put it more than 3L only few people will buy that, so i think that's the problem. but tvs is gonna launch akula this year definitely, which is based on g310r engine, so i think after few months of it's launch they'll launch the bmw tooo [emoji56]

                  Since you are a beginner and recently started to earn, I would agree with [MENTION=21789]The[/MENTION]Monk FZ25 would be a nice pick and the service costs are way too low as comparing to TNT25. As an experienced rider, my opinion is to get a machine which suits you, don't get used to something you haven't used yet. TNT25 is too much powerful because it can not be compared to the segment where FZ25 belong. Still I don't want to discourage you if you like TNT25. Ride safe

                    Hi Shibin good to see a fellow chap from Kerala who is on board

                    Welcome to xBhp.

                    Regarding the above quoted bikes, did you test ride these? If yes, you should have a better idea by now as to, how each of these fare and which is the one to go for...

                    If not yet, please do so since that's the best way to sort and clear many confusions you have in your relentless mind

                    However at the end, it's all about what your Heart says


                    ATGATT !!!

                    Cheers,

                      thanks for your reply bro. my dream bike is bennelli tnt 300 since it's a naked and have a big bike feel I fall for it the first time when I saw it in calicut., kerala. [emoji7] since its OR price 4L and that completely exceeds my budget, its the only reason for which I settled for a baby tnt25. [emoji16] but when I heard bennelli's aftersale service is pathetic and also its service interval is too short, so am in a complete dilemma whether I should go for tnt25 or fz25.. If tnt25 is not a beginner friendly bike then I'll go for fz25 [emoji56]

                        btw i have ridden cl350,fz16 but not fz25 and tnt25.. i like old fz bikes but its only 160cc right?. i want a bike for the next 4 or 5 years, but I'll soon outgrow that 160, right?? that's why am looking for under 300 cc bike. [emoji43] [emoji56] now cl 350 can be found anywhere, and RE had lost its charm. now, so i removed it from my list.. [emoji4]
                        and i haven't test ridden tnt 25 yet!! but I'll test ride fz25 in the coming week [emoji4] lottof experts says that fz25 is the best bike in my list for a beginner. I'll let you know about my experience after the test ride [emoji4]
                        PS:sry 4 my bad English [emoji16]

                          Hi bro, im from Kottayam, now riding in Chennai. Im owning tnt 25. As everyone said, the bike is powerful but linear. Ideal for long drives. Myself gone for four 700+ trips. Best ride was from Chennai to valaparai to Athirapally to Coimbatore n back.

                          Regarding the service interval, its short. But I think the new amc is worth a take. Myself yet to take that. Otherwise its a good choice. If you are passionate then go with your mind. When compared to the other bikes in your mind, frankly speaking tnt is costly. You can call me or ping me . I have pm my personal number. God spede...
