Benelli Imperiale 400 Black

This bike is a real treat to ride, It's quite robusta and it's road presence is next level.It's exhaust sound is music to the ears and it cruise at 90-100 kmph without any effort.Challenges: 1.No service center in many cities where they have sold their bikes and shut down showrooms.2.Heating issue: engine produces immense heat, Its very difficult to ride during summers.3.Pillion seat is real uncomfortable, Very difficult to cover even 50 km.

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.

Vibration free until 120kmph, I got exactly 33kmpl on straight roads.Powerful too.Heavier than its rival, Hence stable.Most importantly entire bike feels like a single part.
