wow!! first on RU-vid like boss!! and fantastic review in detail !! but i have a question putting 2lac for tnt25 is worth or not? or put 10k more and get d390 with abs !!
+MotorBeam Hi Faisal, quick question,which do you think is better Duke390 or the TNT25?? I would mostly use it for college riding and occasional long rides(maybe once every 2 months)

does it heats up like the duke 390...! i was thinking about buying a 390 bt the heating issues going to be a challenge 2 me bcoz of my localities traffic conditions all over the day..! plzz let me no that the heating issue ...soo i would change my mind from 390 to TNT 25
+SHRIRAJ PALKHIWALA I can't comment because I have not ridden it. However that's not certainly what I have heard from people who have ridden it. Have you tried riding mojo?
+Poornesh K.M I think tnt25 is more of a commuter and less of a track bike, whereas rc200 is exactly the opposite, so based on your usage you should chose appropriately, that aside, outright performance winner between these would be rc200 any day is my feeling.
Very good review guys, great job. Slight disappointment with vibrations at higher RPM, but then we do not ride at higher RPM always. So that can be compromised. Plus the bike looks very cool and distinct on street. I believe 2Lac for a CKD is till worth, an ABS would've made the deal sweeter.
what would happen if you down sized the wheels .? .. the bottom of the bike has some wiggle room ... with. a smaller diameter wheel I believe the acceleration would improve ... no ?
+Mani Sankar Namuduri if u seriously looking for day to day use than why step in sports bike go for RE they are the best in class for comfort. look buddy if u want speed compromise with comfort and if u want comfort than compromise with speed
This being a CKD built will again suffer from spares shortages ... I myself own a Benelli tnt 300 I love the bike but I would not recommend any one to buy a DSK product ... fed up of the after sales services ... for small part replacements I have been waiting for 36days not able to ride my bike still they haven't been able to source spares .... Trust me guys wait till the BMW 310 shows up m sure bmw would have planned and organised spares and services and everything before they would even think of launching the 310... and its just not me... being part of Bangalore benellians biking group its the same situation withe 26+ other owners in a group of abt 120 bikes
+MotorBeam The bike had a minor fall ... parts like the clutch lever, bar end weight and the handle bar riser where damaged... its been 36days and still the service center haven't received these parts from dsk ... how can they possibly not keep these components in stock .. Very disappointing
That's exactly my point.. These are basic spares which IMO should be available @ every Service center.. The issues is that is not available in any service center in south India.. Dsk hasn't learnt anything for the failures and bad reputation they hav received in the past from Hyosung
TNT Bengaluru dealer Sucks man.... EX Showroom Price 1.68 But he asks for 50000 more to sell it on road. No MRF tyres option in fact No accessories, then he charges around 9k as shipping charges (Pune to Bengaluru) then some crap insurance of 6k .... Bike really looks attractive at less than 2 Lakh. But dealer sucks and hence it is available at fixed price of 2.18 Lakhs on road
for those people telling duke won ... keep the race on long stretch just like ninja and 390 ...ninja eats duke after a long stretch and plz upload a top speed video and proper exhaust note
How come...😕😐 its 250 cc anyway I find it better then duke its too common ...and please still do a top speed video and afaik I heard its top speed is 140+ not sure
Whatever said and done, the Benelli TNT25 looks much better than that autorickshaw sound Duke 200. No one should actually buy the Duke because it overheats, sounds shit and also looks shit. Even the TNT25 is a bad bike. The best bike in the segment is the Mahindra Mojo. Rise Mahindra!
+Mehul Jobanputra Hang on buddy. The Duke 200 is the current segment leader and rightly so. It offers class leading performance at the least price. Yes it doesn't look or sounds great but who cares!
+Suyash Kaul we all know the Duke 200 beats the Mojo (we did a drag earlier) and the CBR250R beats the Duke 200 (we did a drag with the RC 200 earlier).
+Rahul Babu It doesn't really matter whether its ckd or cbu, it's companys problem to sort that out. If the price of the bike can be justified by its build quality, performance, comfort and after sales service, people will go for it, else they won't. Inazuma is the best example, awesome bike in many ways, failed only because of the nonsense price.
Faisal Bhai, Hats off to you for making such amazing videos for enthusiasts like us. It must have taken you weeks just to shoot this video!! The editing is cool too. Do you guys have to take special permission from the police for shooting on roads?? Talking about the bikes, well I really think that the KTM Duke is an utter piece of shit. It looks like a cheap after-market modified bike, something that only young wannabe's would want to buy! The bike is not meant for our roads, in fact it should be used by those people in circuses !The TNT 25 looks good but I've heard that it is more of a vibrator. Is that true?? Don't get me started on the Mahindra Mojo another piece of shit which looks like an octopus. Everyone should just buy the Kawasaki Ninja. It is expensive but you can always get a used product in good condition for an excellent price. After all, YOLO !
+Ankit Dange Looks are subjective my friend. There are plenty of people who like the looks of the Duke. Similarly, many people (including me) like the looks of the Mojo and all that it offers. Ninja certainly looks sexy!!! Finding used ones isn't too easy as very few bikes have been sold and they hold their value well so used ones are also well over 3 lakhs.
+Ankit Dange You said correct about the Duke. Piece of shit it is. Only chapri people who like to impress girls by doing stunts buy it and yet not able to impress girl because rear seat is uncomfortable! But you said wrong about the Mahindra Mojo. What a lovely bike it is! Beefy looks, refined engine and full comfort. What more would one want in that money?
i own a tnt25 & its a good bike to ride. BUT...... service cost is "massive" for 250cc. i get 5 to 5.5k for every 4k kms. spares r not got in the local mkt n i ll have 2 wait for weeks n completely on just 1 service centre in bangalore. spares r expensive n who gives a rats ass on the racing heritage of benelli. i recommend all to not make a mistake in purchasing one. u ll suffer n loose ur money at all service intervals. this is no more italian & is owned & manufactured by chinese.
the audio is clear. But in the beginning of the video, the sound of the water made it a little bit tough to hear some words.. that's all. But great video. On a different note, you said that there was a lot of vibration on the high-end. Please let me know at what speeds you start experiencing this and Is it manageable or is it bothersome? Thanks in advance.
there are many cars having clever tehnologys with good power and great fuel efficiency's but bikes are plain out simple, power more fuel efficiency down. there are many bikes which have horrible power still horrible mileage. bike manufacturers are driven by profit not passion sadly..
