What's "aftermarket came"?I have less than 500 miles on my TNT, but to this point, it has been a hoot to ride. As should be with my miles, I have had zero issues. I also did a lot of video watching/forum reads, and the Benelli reliability has been quite good. I did take it on a end of season 220 mile ride, with the majority of those miles being on county highway roads. No issues going between 50-60mph the entire time. I'll be putting in a aftermarket came come spring for a couple extra ponies
Ooops .. Typo. Aftermarket cam
The way I see it - many guys buy Groms for fun and stunts. Girls aren't much into stunts or shifting gears, at least not the majority. But with the Navi looking like a Grom it wouldn't be out of place at a Grom mini-bike meet-n-ride event. Just easier to ride due to it being basically a scooter in mini-bike outfit. In short - BF and GF can ride together on similar looking bikes, at normal city speeds, with BF having an edge at the hooligan factor.
Target market (according to some Honda representatives) is new riders. Those who are freaked out by Harleys, but wouldn't mind a cheap fuel efficient commuter. The target is to get those people into riding (since NAVI is extremely easy to ride, but doesn't scream "I'M A SCOOTER" with it's appearance) and then have these same people upgrade to faster and more expensive Honda bikes later on, once they get some experience on the NAVI.
They used to call that the 250cc Honda Rebel.
These days the small bore movement is so strong (look at how hot the sales of Honda Grom and Monkey are) that 250cc suddenly is a BIG small bore.
Last spring, my wife was thinking she might want a moped, and we were considering a pair of Ruckus's. At the last moment, she decided she likely wouldn't ride it much, so I then opted for the TNT135. At that time, I also was considering a KTM Duke 200 and the Big 3 300/400 models. I then realized what I really wanted was a small frame mini type bike to basically use in lieu of a moped. Heck, I already have a bigger bike. Sure I've spent $$ on mods (who doesn't ??) , but I have a blast on the Benelli. Adding the cam/ECU flash has shown 2 HP/ 5+ mph gains on a bike making 11 HP. Hell, I'll spend the $$. It moves my 6'2", 36" inseam, 220# around nicely
Ha .. Thanks. It's weird how cheap stuff is for this bike. I wanted the Super Moto look, and I think I got that. Front fender: $12/shipped Ali Express, Lextek dual under seat exhaust: $95, Two mufflers: $60, Dual headlight/bracket: $28 from Amazon. Fork Guards: $18 Ali Express. The handguards are from a past FZ09. The ECU flash was the most expensive at $175.
