Benelli BN125 honest owner review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I review the benelli bn125 and answer the question, should you buy one in 2022. I look at the handling, comfort, power, value and other key topics to help you decide if this is the right motorcycle for you. There is a lot of choice when it comes to your first motorcycle and the bike you get can have a massive impact on your experience and your first bike is one of the most important bikes you will buy.
Check out the videos on the channel for relate Benelli BN125 content, tail tidy, exhaust mods and more.
Benelli Q.J. is an Italian company, based in the city of Pesaro in the Marche region, that produces motorcycles and scooters.
Since 2005 Benelli is owned by the Qianjiang Motorcycle, a Chinese company controlled by the Geely Holding Group. Originally founded in 1911 in Pesaro, Benelli is the second oldest Italian motorcycle company still in business.
Design, development and marketing activities are carried out at the Benelli QJ headquarters in Pesaro, Italy, in synergy with the parent company of Wenling China where motorcycles are produced.
I hope you enjoy the review.

Thank you for this video! I have just been to my local bike shop to see this bike and had a sit on it! It will be my first ever bike and I turned 50 last month! I am torn between the red bike, the white and the black lol . Your video was excellent. So helpful , your a star for taking the time to do the video. Thank you ❤
Just got one of these after watching this video. 🤙 Great fun!
i just purchased a 2021 benelli bn, this gave me such an insight into what im buying, i get the feeling im gonna have a beautiful ride every day i have it
Today I was in my local shop and watched out for my first bike. I sat on this bike and after this video I think I will buy it 😊 Thanks for the video
Aesthetically pleasing for sure and it’s a good size for a 125, miles of smiles 🙂🙂 Really enjoyed the review 🏍✊🏻😁 Benelli seem to be building really good bikes.

My first bike for these 6months and I really like this bike. As you said, it has amazing look for a 125cc. After my learning curve I will upgrade for a 600cc for sure :)
Great video man. From Wicklow!!
Looks like a decent starter bike been looking at the info and might have to buy as my first
Looks like a bigger bike and really like the frame style Well done on the review. Appears to be a great bike for the city.

Hi mate great video. I'm 36 and never had a bike. Thinking of buying this and doing my cbt on it. Thoughts?
Does anyone know what helmet Dave's using? It looks great and I'd love to get a similar set up
Saw you said to replace the stock tyres. Do you have any recommendations on where to buy better tyres from? Would it be possible to buy online or have to buy in person. Many thanks!! :)
Thank you for the review…… now top of my list to buy atm for my first bike!! But has your GF still got this bike? How has it stood the test of time? Has it been reliable? Thanks again 😊👍

Hello mate. Hope you are ok. I want to buy that bike. What is you currently opinion cuz?
Was that speedometer in mph? Wouldnt expect it to 0-60mph so quickly on such a short road. Less impressive if it were kph.
I’m 4”8ft would I be able to ride this or will I struggle?
What is the max speed in mph it can handle?
Great review! I like this bike a lot. Is the exhaust loud? And in general, is it a quite motorcycle regarding in noise? Especially on country roads (70-90kmh)? Many greetings
@DaveTube3310

In general it is a quite motorcycle and the exhaust is not loud, if you check my other videos you will see a video showing the sound of the standard exhaust and a mod we did to give it a deeper tone. That will give you a better idea of the sound. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Ali express I don't have a link but if you search bar end mirrors they will come up. Use the ones with the adjustable rubber straps to mount onto the bar as the bar end type won't fit the bn125
