Benelli crashes the Grom party - Again!
The new TNT135 is a great looking bike. Small bikes are cool again (like the 70s).
Introduced by the same company that brought you the RazKull. I like that exhaust. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...5-preview.html

The Benelli TNT135 comes with a 6-speed transmission and efi. A new exhaust might be nice. I sat on this bike at the AIMExpo this past weekend. Nice bike. It still felt small to me. Motorcycle.com is reporting the MSRP at $2499.

Ya think the 200cc Lifan may fit?

Fit, yes. Direct bolt in, probably not.

Where did you see it spec'd with a 6 speed? Motorcycle.com has it listed as a 5 speed. Might explain a bit of the extra weight.

I would like to see a head to head of this bike vs. the Lifan; that is assuming the Benelli is certain to come to the US market. Heck, if I had to watch a head-to-head comparison from that Russian youtube channel which has an attractive woman as the hostess (anyone remember the Lifan vs. Loncin video), that will be good enough for me.

The Spade looks like the Lifan Pony 100 we had here in the US a few years ago. The Pony was cloned from the Honda Ape 100
