Hello Good Evening to All, This is Siddarth M Senthil from Salem,Tamilnadu.I am bike enthusiast just like as yours and new entrant to XBHP.

I Just want to share a thread about my new Italian flair the " WHITE LION" (Benelli TNT 25) bought it about a week ago really start a new era of pure biking after rode Bullets,Honda's and Yamaha from childhood,this is my entry in to premium segment,

After decide to buy a bike in premium segment the hunt has been started from this january but I keenly watching about the launch of BMW G 310 R I had a hope the immediate launch would be happen after the Delhi Auto Expo 2016 but it has postponed to another six months time frame ,second thought in my mind was the Italian marvel "BENELLI TNT 25" strictly fallen in my budget so immediately do my loan process and made a booking amount of Rs.25000/- on 22nd of February to DSK BENELLI,CHENNAI.I booked Bianco(white colour) premium(metzeler rubber) version they gave time of delivery about in a week so I paid rest of the amount inclusive of temporary registration and insurance(Rs.1,66,000/-) the new stock has arrived showrooms on 25 th of February the immediate next day would be auspicious day so went to the showroom on 26th and selected my "WHITE LION" meantime I did my test drive with my own vehicle and comeback to Salem.

Showroom guys agreed to give delivery of my vehicle on 2nd March but that's not happened that day postponed to 3rd of march due to some issues with RTO office again the delivery has happened to finally in the evening about around 4 p.m eager and hurry because I arrived to Chennai two day in advance but the delivery has postponed to another one day my friend is a teacher he has to give some guidance for their students going to attend board exam on 4th of march he must reach at least that evening at any cost,

We took delivery of vehicle with out doing anything formalities like pooja and etc...once the guy arrived from RTO office they just hand over the testimonials and manual kit and explained about bike in little detail and they did some cleaning of vehicle and immediately we left the showroom about around 4:30 pm straight away start our journey to our native Karimanglam,Dharmpuri.so we have to clock around 280 kms in very first day as soon as possible to before 10 p.m, so the very first journey has started with my brand new the Italian marv(b)el "benelli tnt 25" the petrol in tank was around 3 litres and we filled speed petrol about 13 liters the outskirts of Chennai......the journey has started

Review about my Italian flair

Design and styling
I am first and feel proud owner of vehicle in the city,
Simply about to say in simple word it's true "Italian flair" design styling of the vehicle stand uniquely among the crowds in this segment what we have seen on the picture it's totally different from the real world looking very muscular,Manley and beefy every eyes get turn around see the vehicle when it stops in a signal,
Does it resembles the elder sibling TNT 300 some areas head lights and stance of the front end but it's have unique style on their own, the white colour is immediately grab your attention nicely carved out seats are very comfy and pillion seats also give comfort for some extent the tank look very gorgeous the speedometer gives needy things

Build quality & Ride handling,
The build of the vehicle a step ahead in this segment I have never seen this kind big and fatty USD forks in this segment before a beefy USD forks,strong aluminium foot pegs,strengthen red trellis frame,bulky tyres,quality switch gears and plastics,each and every build in the bike is outstanding

About ride and handling it handles very well in the highways as well as in the city the 280 kms tarmac between Chennai-krishnagiri-karimangalam I feel like driving European car we clocked 280 kms about in five hours with a pit stop and a dinner break maintaining 5000-6000 Rpm range the power delivery is very linear and feel the bassy exhaust note once it cross the 6000 rpm and handles the potholes quite well comfortable seats grip well to the tank for long journeys I never feel the hesitation in butt ,a little vibrations shoots up top end of the power band but this minor things Will over shadowed by the brilliant ride and handling and gear knocking once if you are not find the right gear in the lower speeds.

Safety and fuel economy
About safety as the review suggest that the front brakes feel wooden effect as of my concern the both brakes offer a good grip and confidence with Metzeler rubber I never drive bike with MRF tyres.the fuel economy I can get around above 35 kilometers per litre.
I hope this is a very good package in this segment with nice build,styling,road manners,handling and fuel economy I suggest that anyone can go without any hesitation go for this one with out considering anything in this segment(rivals).

The on-road price of my vehicle Rs.2,05,000/-

I feel very proud and glad having this "WHITE LION" in my garage along with my tiger(RXG).

This my first thread if you people found anything wrong with my thread and English just forgive me as bike a enthusiast and I don't know how to add photos of my vehicle in this thread,hope add my bike photos as soon as possible.

Hope Will do more miles on this new Italian flair ready to explore more places and wish to post most threads in the future.

Thank you...
Have good day
