Hi guy, planing to get my very first bike (giving up driving day and night massive jam places)
Main usage is only riding in and out from home to office approx. 9k-10km distance. .
Found that these midget bike is kinda cool but I hav nearly 0 knowledge on bike so would appreciate some recommendation and feedback in term of reliability / maintenance / etc etc...

You midget?

For spare part, maybe go for msx / z125.
For cheaper price, tnt135 or rhino 125..

Take note rhino dont have manual hand clutch.

I own rhino just about 1 year..cant say about its reliability yets..but no major problem so far..

stock tyre just ok for dry, worst on wet..
some user reported stock battety only last less than 6 month..

if you just want to ride bike short distance to office, go get a reliable kapcai. say a Honda Wave 110. costs about rm5k. add a Givi top box behind to store helmet, raincoat n work stuff like laptop. you can park this type of bike anywhere n it will still be there after work.
the fun bikes with small wheels cost more n thief magnets. not practical for daily use to work. tq.

nop but anything wrong wit midget ?

I wouldn't recommend getting any of these mini bikes for your first bike. At that price top up abit you can get a normal sized bike like the Duke 200 or Modenas ns200. Usually people who buy mini bikes are those that already have a normal sized bike and just want something extra for fun.

Midget bike wheels too small for Malaysian pothole roads

Yup..the tyre also rhino..
If you office to home is near, yeah sure why not for fun riding..
if far, avoid this..

Although minibike can ride 2 person, try to avoid this laa..
moto kecik,buntut besar, naik 2 org..lol..

msx and z125 are okay. stay away from benelli

Get real bike.. this midget bike is overpriced

There is another bike you may want to consider. Kawasaki KSR110.

The brand of jus this specific model ? 🤔

Saw there’s comment up there. Recommending duke 200... doing sone research now🤔

this tnt 135. you can join their fb groups and look at the complaints

I oso considering tnt 135 or msx or Vario 150.....
the first two, coz i try it and love it and for the vario, bcoz of practicality.
Bike is for leisure and short distance travel only..i mean really short..

+1 for Vario.

But but ..TNT is more fun hahaha..
I cant make up my mind yet

vario is quite fun too...especially the torque

Then buy the TNT and accept whatever consequences that may arise la.

TnT looks fun...but I haven't get mine yet haha

Buy the MSX125!
I just made the payment yesterday. Looking forward to collect the bike soon.

A lot of people said kapcai is cheaper, can go faster & etc.
But they are missing the point.
MSX125 is not for speeding. It's for the enjoyment of riding.

So in short, if you just need a transport from point a to point b.
Consider kapcai or vario.
BUT, If you want a well built quality and fun bike you can enjoy your ride, go for MSX125.

Hmm..hard to find one in the shop to let alone test drive it..sit on it also they dont allow..

Still pondering on this option..my heart is toward this...maybe end up at workshop more on the road..but hey, i'm not depends on it to travel most of the time...

MSX ..ya...but but ..first , this bike hard to find one at least all the bike shops near my place..
2nd, the price is too much for a fun bike..pay cash ..so every thousand count...3K to be exact...
3rd, if i go for fun bike, prepare to take a risk on the cheaper tnt...
so think i have to give it a pass on this bike....

I own a Benelli TNT135 for a year and a half, ride it to work (short distance). My odo is almost 15,000km.
It's even gone up to the peak of Genting Highlands. I don't know why ppl are commenting about problems la, service la, parts la....

MForce in Segambut got parts, taobao got more parts. Bike issue? Bring to workshop lor, even my Yamaha also go visit workshop every now and then ma, what's the problem?

If u like the dang thing, just buy it. It's a good deal considering the price point, it's also faster than the other 2. I bought it as my first bike for learning clutch bike for B-full, supposedly sell it and upgrade after getting B, but it's still here, no regrets keeping her.

Great sharing there..i think i set on this bike and will have to find a time to re-visit the shop and finalizing the things..
Hope can get a less problematic unit to save all the hassle later....

Here are 3 things that you might wanna check if you buy the TNT135:

1. Wiring on the Left & Right control panels (signal, lamp, ignition, etc switches) - wiring is properly connected otherwise when rain, will short circuit. This one happens to many bikes, not only this bike. To do this check, you'd need to open up the panel to see the connection. Maybe you can ask the mechanic to open for you.

2. Bolts and nuts around the body (this u can tighten them up yourself with 4mm and 5mm allen keys), esp the bolt that pivots the gear shift at left foot pedal.

3. The wiring that connects to the ECU (under the pillion seat - u need to unscrew 2 bolts to open the rear seat). This bunch of wires may rub against the chassis frame over time and wear out, causing the 'live' wire to be in contact with the frame = short circuit = bike won't start or wire burn. Make sure the insulation is good, and that the wires are not pressed against the frame too tightly. It happened to my TNT, and mine's not an isolated case.

That's it. Have fun!

Nice gesture there...hope you enjoy your ride as well...

Saw a lot of Honda MSX 125 aka Grom when at Hatyai, surprisingly not so many homegrown brand GPX Demon 150gn

You have to go to northen part of Thailand.... alot of GPX brand running around

Alrighty...Have not been to Bangkok for a long time.
still waiting for them to launch in Malaysia.

I think my situation is the same as TS now.. tough choice indeed...

So ultimately which bike did TS chose and bought?

I'm also eyeing on the kawasaki z125pro as my first bike, this is really only a fun bike, will be super underutilise, probably only a while during weekends or weeknights to go out for a spin near my house.
