In March, 2022, Benelli launched the pint-sized TNT 125, a sporty mini-bike meant to go head-to-head with the likes of the Honda Grom and Kawasaki Z125. While bikes like these are undeniably tons of fun, their diminutive proportions and almost cartoonish styling can be rather polarizing. To address the desires of a more traditional audience, Benelli introduces the BN 125, a small-displacement commuter with naked sportbike styling.
At a glance, it can be easy to mistake the BN 125 as its bigger sibling, the TNT 302, especially when viewed from afar. It sports similar styling and colorways consisting of either a red tubular frame with black and dark gray bodywork, or for the more adventurous, a neon-colored fairing atop a black trellis frame. Beneath its playful aesthetic, however, lies a tame and docile machine, that even the most novice of riders can tame with ease.
