Sold the Hellcat got a TNT 135 - WOW.

SO I had a Hellcat, I did all the things to make it a nice bike, and for the $$$ the bike was very nice.

But then I saw the Benelli TNT 135 in. person at my friends shop and the next day I sold the Hellcat and bought the TNT.

1) after 400 miles I'm hitting 78 mph stock.

2) I just had a custom mid pipe made from an old jet engine piece (seriously) and the Steadygarage Chimera header and the bike sounds awesome and hit 80 today!

3) The fit and finish of this bike is insane. It's WAY better than a real Grom or even a K125. 41mm inverted forks, LED everything 5 SPEEDS! (Did I mention 80 out of the box?!?!)

4) With a small Givi windscreen it looks more like a big bike. I love this thing!!

5) I bought a used pillion seat and modified the foam for "US" sized butts and I can ride 200+ miles with perfect comfort.

6) I love the little BMW rear fender plate holder thing. That totally keeps the wet road slime from getting up your back! I am sure most people hate that thing, but I love it!


I love this bike!

And with the DG pipe I added it sounds killer!

Looks like a fun bike, with plenty of power. BTW, someone posted this, and no one answered him. Maybe you have an answer? http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=26249

I really like that hi-viz / semi-metallic? yellow/green.


BUT. Does the color clash with Hi-viz gear? Just kidding. I like the color though. In the vid you can see the green pearl they put in the clear on top of the yellow. That's a wild color and I love it.

That's the best looking tnt 135 I've seen yet. How do you find the comfort to be compared to the hellcat? I saw a review where the guy really liked both but have comfort to the grom/hellcat.

I remember reading the article on Motorcycle.com about racing the TNT135. It sounded like so much fun.
