Having owned the bike for 2 years here's my opinion- 1. Fantastic bike and great value for money 2. At the service center (Chennai) they had been very supportive and accommodating to odd requests. I get more support in comparison to friends owning other brand SBK's 3. 4 Year unlimited milage warranty un paralleled offering About the bike- 1. Annoying part is due to it low ground clearance have to tip tow over every speed braker 2. Its a bit hard to take the bike out on crappie roads / country roads, thanks to a much harder suspension setup 3. Fantastic power delivery, yet its a bit jumpy and is comfortable only after 4-5k rpm 4. Power delivery is also non-linear (rough while accelerating hard which makes you hold to your pants much harder), while accelerating even a little hard the bike keeps popping up it front far too often 5. Adding grab-rails or luggage racks are impossible and from a touring perspective (This is because the panniers cant be mounted to a casting subframe) 6. Very planted at corners 7. The rear underbelly exhaust isnt heat shielded and causes significant discomfort for pillion and a challenge while trying to tie up the luggage for touring 8. finding Neutral is a big pain 9. Absolutely zero heating issues- thanks to the side mounted radiators, making it very usable under heavy traffic conditions 10. Great road presence and a huge head turner 11. Fantastic braking- good initial bite followed with a nice progressive feel 12. So far havn't missed the ABS 13. Bike's center of gravity and the way the weight is distributed is a bit off. But you don't feel it once on the move 14. Just like other liter class engine incredibly hard to enjoy the bike, you really can't open the throttle much... say on an open road starting from zero 1/3 of the throttle is enough to get the front wheel rolling up in each gear. So one needs experience modulating throttle control Mandatory Upgrades that are required- 1. You need a touring windscreen, this has to be made since no after market parts are available, and the generic ones (piug) won't fit as the headlights are static.. aka attached to the frame and not suspension 2. Frame sliders 3. Adjustable levers (the clutch is a bit on the heavier side while in traffic and after market levers helps a lot)

Tharun Venkat I almost crashed it trying an aggressive downshift, but it's more of my mistake that the bike's. But a slipper clutch and an ABS would have made this an irresistible pick..! How would you rate the 899's usability for weekend rides? Long distance is a Pain in the ass or not? Literally speaking. 😏

sliper clutch would have been a great addition. So far haven't missed the ABS one bit. Have munched a lot of miles touring and over weekend rides, haven't felt the discomfort yet. Yes, you can't find the same level of comfort from a tourer like versys or Tiger but I have covered 600-700kms on average on a single day with ease. On a different note, the bike is comfortable when reved harder and likes to keep going, and crusing at 120 seems to be a bore as you are reving at around 5k rpm... I usually take a break every 80-90kms (smoker and get bum soar) this is because i am a bit on the heavier side and need to add more cushion to the seats...

Have done good number of miles on it and so far it's been very smooth... But since am more into touring these days thinking of getting a different bike. To sum up it's a great bike, awsome riding feedback a definite head Turner... But now u have bikes with better technology and gizmos on...

After coming form a boring tired office just watch power drift videos whatever bike it may be ....d way u guys showcase things just make me crazzzy about bikes.....a big fan of you Thumbs UP for all u POWER DRIFT team.

Still feels fresh. What a video. Bring him back.

This one, by far, is one the best PD reviews i have come across.. The intro itself gives me goosebumps..

the intro! +PowerDrift & Sagar, no words to express the state of mind you people get us into with these videos!

You guys turn a basic automobile review into a teaser trailer of an action packed Hollywood movie. 🔥👍🏻

The video is awesome as always. U guys make us riders proud and about the bike it is beautiful. Rest will be able to decide which is better only when i see it in person. Lets hope dsk opens up their showroom soon. Thank you guys

I really LOVE this video! Although it isn't able to transfer the emotions a TNT provides to the rider, it shows it at least. Owning a TNT, I know how special this bike is. It's one of the most emotional rides you can have (although the 1130 I'm riding is even more emotional... :D ). P.S.: Why didn't I add a comment to the 1130 review? - This is the much better review!!!

What a bike and what a review 🔥, used to watch this review during college and still coming back after 8 years. Masterpiece❤

Every time I feel depressed, i watch this video, it brings me to life again, my all time favourite vid😇

Saw this video an year back. Was never into 'naked' bikes till I saw it upfront in the AutoExpo. Had to see this video all over again just to realize that seeing this bike upfront is a completely different experienced than seeing on a screen. Thanks for another great video though.

Ok, here, have my subscribe, this is what I was looking for! Informative channel with some nutter riding the bike, lovely!

Guys, your videos are like Hollywood movies - Super action packed with exceptional editing, Method acting by Sarge and a Oscar winning crew and cast, Morgan Freeman style narration by Ten Hut and Logical explanations from Charles and Satyen. I actually am falling short of words on how to describe the happiness and a wide smile you people paste on the faces of your fans :D I wonder how you guys make each new video a notch higher than the previous one!!

This is the first time I visited your chanel.... Fantastic review....Also your riding on on public roads is GREAT ! I subscribed ! !

This video rite here......made me shed tears!!!

the sound of the exhaust made me cry.....so mch of emotion in the way that beast roars

Great videos as always...was about to buy a tnt 600i...but I am getting an irresistible deal for the 899 coz of the bs4 norms.which one do you suggest as an overall package.coz I have throughly ridden the 600i and it's Damm smooth I kind of like it's versatility. But 899 on the other hand is just the opposite...like you said at the starting of the video about preferences..lol

Phew! Adrenaline rush!!! I got goosebumps on seeing you corner the bike so thrillingly!!!

Hatts off to your cinematography skills...!!! You guys rock !!!

Ah! The symphony of the exhaust note!!! In sync with the background score. Sweet dreams are made of these...

I still ride a BENELLI Tnt 899 century racer and it's superb 🎉

sir please do a review of hyosung gt250r 2016or2017 model..please

After 5 years with a TNT 899 2013, I must admit that it was an aggressive motorcycle that after passing through it I feel that motorcycles of other brands are easy to use, even if I no longer have my benelli, I will miss her. Although now I have an Aprilia tuono 1100RR and a Triumph Street Triple RX that are better in many ways, the Benelli is still unique, beautiful and incredibly competitive. Hopefully the model reappears in the market, but with today's technology

congratulation man, you are amazing :), sound track name please.. ??

Powerdrift is absolutely best review!!!!!! Please test ride beneli tnt 300.

Presentation at its best..cameraman (video grapher) deserves a big applause..PD you nail it ..you are best in review business but ever body is not a track racer..if review could also be done keeping in mind different type of riders - this would add fragrance to the gold.

I want to ask which is the better... benelli 899 or ninja z900??

Is this bike worth it if I'm getting for under 4lkhs in todays date ?

hey guys! would love it if you could make a video on the CBR250. amazing video!! great job as always

Sir, Benelli TNT 899 & 1130R inline 4 mhi ho sakta? like TNT 600i, becoz i'm in love with Benelli's looks and the most versatile , value for moner sexy inline 4 TNT 600i but now i am disappointed from Benelli for being inline 3 in litre class

It's on its way!

Always thought, the next thing in video should have been 60 fps and not 4K. Looks stunning ! This looks right out of the motorcycle book, where all they bothered about was the motorcycle. The electronics left at bare minimum. Great for experienced riders. Beginners should still choose the Z or the 79ps Striple IMO for its fuelling and tractability. For me, among the Z and the Striple, on the Bangalore streets only, and, for me, if you are tall and strong enough, get the Z for its ease of ride. If you are shorter and weaker, one would be better off with the 79PS Striple but would have to do with playing with the clutch a lot in heavy traffic unlike the Z which will just pull like a "locomotive". Looks are subjective but I feel this 899 TNT (What a name !!! Italians for God's sake ! ) is a timeless Italian design which will always look beautiful, even after another decade of presence on the streets. The Z on the other hand is out of the Jap Anime books and will lose its edge in a few years when Kawasaki make a even meaner looking machine with even more bells and whistle. Also, Benelli has told their line up would cost between 3.5 lac to 14.5 lac ex showroom which to me sounds high pricing to keep its exclusivity. Not good for numbers but will maintain its niche that way. The 300 for 3.5 lac and the 1130 for 14.5 lac should leave this beast at around 10-11 lacs ex showroom which would put with the Speed triple and the Z1000 instead of the Striple and Z800. Not a good option IMO. And come on Benelli !!! ABS !!! Kawasaki been promising the ABS for the 650 for a couple of years now but they don't so doubt Benelli too. How is the fit finish ? I hear they are below par and the side mounted radiators are flimsy and move. Also, how about its ability to cut through the traffic considering this, at the end of the day, is a street naked !

Hi I ha e just booked a TNT 300 Just wanted to know how soon the ABS feature will be included on the byke
