Key Things to Know about Imperiale 400

Upside

Refined engine with oodles of bottom-end torque, comfortable riding posture, big bike feel, gear position indicator and digital fuel gauge

Downside

An expensive proposition, wooden brakes that lack bite and feel, odd position of the footpegs tend to hit your shins while moving the bike around

Expert's Conclusion

In our opinion, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition.

Bike is good.But technicians who do the servicing of bike those guys are worst.Average cost of servicing is around 8000-10000 but still the problem persist.Facing problem in aundh pune service center.This makes this bike worst.Don't buy this one.You buys this bike and keep paying 10k every month.Reason my bike km is 25000.I use to get the same feedback everytime.I think that is the life of this bike.

Benelli imperiale is a bike guys will love, It just makes people head turn for sure.The best part is it has no vibrations, Yes its heavy bike, With the distribution of weight you will never feel it.The road presence, Engine refinement, Build quality, Ruggedness suspension, Retro look is all a plus point.Turning radius is very less, Uturn will be challenging.Heat issues in traffic jams is evident else where not a problem at all.Rear tyre and tube is not available in market size is 130 80/18.Coming to the 0 star moment : they have an awesome product but service and parts cost, Will sink this product to the bottom.Exhorbiant service cost and parts cost will make you bleed.A simple example clutch cable and installation will cost 800 where as the same product same spec of himalayan will cost 300.Lack of service centers and inexperienced mechanics.Cost of replacement, Availability of parts to name a few are drawbacks.Guys at adishwars auto, Work on service and availability of spare parts at economical price that's the key for success in india.Do good marketing really not enough.

Benelli imperiale 400 writing this review after 5 months and 4500 km.No doubt about the quality and riding comfort up to speeds of 120kmph.However, The mileage promised 32-35 kmpl during the sale is nowhere close to the real-time mileage of 20 kmpl in city rides.Ground clearance is also extremely low and hits the humps without pillion rider also.I have visited the service center twice in the last 5 months but no proper resolution yet.Also on my 1st free service, I was charged rs 2300.This puts me in dilemma whether to continue with this bike or go for others with good mileage and proper after sales support.

Q. How can I buy Benelli Imperiale 400?

For the availability, we would suggest you to please connect with the nearest authorized dealer in your city as it depends on their stock book. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Q. I am really confused between Benelli 400, Royal Enfield classic 350 and Jawa standard, please suggest?

Selecting the right bike would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, performance figures, features required, etc. The 2021 Classic 350 is an all-new bike! Everything from the motor and frame to the underpinnings and ergonomics has been reworked. Coming to the bike’s hardware, the new Classic uses a new fatter 41mm telescopic fork up front and a twin shock setup at the rear. Even the brakes have been updated to Bybre units at both ends which clamp on to a 300mm front and a 270mm rear disc brake. Moving onto the ergonomics, the Classic 350 features a new rider and pillion seat with thicker cushioning which improves ride comfort. The handlebar sits taller, offering an upright riding posture. Coming to the styling, the bike looks pretty similar to the outgoing model, however, it's been cleverly redesigned. On the other hand, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition. Whereas, the Jawa uses a short-stroke, performance-oriented engine with a 6-speed transmission. Sure it’s fast, but it lacks the retro laidback charm of an under the square engine, something we think is crucial for a buyer in this segment. The 293cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine generates 26.51PS of power and 27.05Nm of torque on the Jawa. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Q. I am confused between Honda Hness CB350, Benelli Imperiale 400 and RE Meteor 350. How do you feel after purchasing H’ness 350? Is it better than those both bike?

In the neo-retro tourer segment, the aforementioned options offer a lot to its customers and selecting one would depend on your budget, ride quality, availability of services, seating comfort, performance, etc. In our opinion, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 offers healthy fuel efficiency, 10,000km oil-change intervals and 5000km/6 month service inspections which make it more endearing. The lack of oil leaks, or missing parts over our 800km stint makes the package more joyous. However, the Meteor doesn’t make a bigger and bolder promise of its own by way of plush ride quality, a greater sense of richness or, crucially, better cruising ability. Lastly, the Honda Hness CB350 has the old-school charm with modern sensibilities, a prominent thumper exhaust note and is the most affordable bike in India to get traction control. The powerplant displaces 348cc, is air-cooled, fuel-injected and has a counterbalancer to minimise harsh vibrations that one usually associates with such a motor. With peak torque rated at 30Nm, the CB350 is the torquiest motorcycle in the class. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride.

I think CB 350 vs Meteor is a good decision, Himalayan has got tube tyres and if it's substituted by tubeless it's a good one. I've Honda 350 brought yesterday.

Q. Can I upgrade to alloy wheels for my Imperiale 400 from aftermarket?

You may opt for alloy wheels for your Benelli Imperiale 400, however, we'd suggest you to stick with the stock spoke wheels as they best serve the purpose of touring. For more details on the same, we'd suggest you to get in touch with the nearest authorized service center as they would assist you with details. You may click on the link and select your desired city for service centers.
I don’t think there is anyone in India who provides alloy wheels for Imperiale. Also, needless to say Benelli will never provide it. So I don’t think we have option here to choose and we have to stick to spoke wheels only.
If I retain the spoke wheels do we have any other ways to face the challenges coming with using a spoke wheel for touring

Q. Any tubeless spoke or alloy tyre options for the Imperialle 400 ? Also how soon will the spare parts be made available ? Is Benenlli Imperialle 400 worth buying over Classic 350 ?

No, there is no option for tubeless tyres or alloy wheels for Imperial 400 from the brand side. The Classic 350 has tremendous emotional appeal and is still in some ways a very desirable motorcycle. But the fact of the matter is that it is now a decade old, and its capabilities feel severely limited in this company. Taking all these things into consideration, there is one clear winner here, and that is the Imperiale. It might not be the most special looking motorcycle here or the best performing, but it tugs at your heartstrings every time you ride it, you’re always planning your next ride before the current one is even finished. It is the bike you most want to be on, and for that simple reason, it is our pick of this segment. You may compare both the bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride for better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

Q. Can kick start be installed from company? What is the mileage in city? What is the periodical maintenance cost and are spare parts easily available?

Installing a kick start would not be a feasible idea and the company is not offering any such option as well. Also, it would be a challenging task to install a kick start in the aftermarket. The Imperiale 400 is powered by a BS6-compliant 374cc air-cooled and fuel-injected single-cylinder engine that generates 21PS and 29Nm. In our tests, the Imperiale 400 delivered 33.49kmpl in the city and 36.65kmpl on highways. As for the maintenance, the availability of parts would depend on the availability of service centers in your city. We would suggest you to get in touch with the nearest authorized dealership for more details. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Imperiale 400 Key Highlights

Design: There’s no change in design. The Imperiale sticks to its neo-retro styling with design cues from classic British motorcycles. You have a simple yet elegant front fender, a classic dome-shaped headlight that flows into a slender fuel tank with tank grips, and minimal graphics. Components like the turn indicators, rearview mirrors, and pillion grab handles are finished in chrome. The rear section is reminiscent of a Thunderbird but looks a bit disproportionate compared to the rest of the bike. A pair of spoked wheels complete the overall look of the bike.
