Benelli Tnt 135 Review

Used Buyer Review

Look, the TNT 135 is a genuinely charming little naked that punches above its displacement in the style department. That retro-aggressive bodywork turns heads in traffic, and the single-cylinder motor is surprisingly rev-happy for something this small. Around town it's actually fun — flickable, light, and the upright seating position doesn't murder your back on short commutes. Used examples tend to cluster around the $1,500-$2,500 mark and honestly that's about right. Here's where I'd pump the brakes though. Benelli's parts availability is genuinely rough depending on your region. I've seen owners waiting weeks for basic consumables. The build quality on earlier examples has a few known weak spots — check the switchgear closely, they feel fragile and replacements are a headache. The suspension is also tuned for someone weighing about 140lbs soaking wet; anything heavier and it bottoms out embarrassingly. For a beginner learning their first bike or a seasoned rider wanting a cheap urban runabout, it works. But go in with eyes open about the ownership experience beyond the fun factor.
