A Classic sportfisherman, the Benelli Imperiale 400 adroitly combines strong interpretation with timeless indulgence. Its reliable 374cc Mechanism guarantees a staid and energetic ride, which makes it the full option for both megacity commutes and tardy passages. The traditional instruments and antique- themed bodywork of the motorbike inspire a feeling of literal supplication in its two wheeler. Although the riding experience is bettered by its affable running, the grand package might be farther bettered by better retardation interpretation. With its tasteful Expression and dynamic capability, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a name agent that provides riders with a strong but traditional road ride.

Imperiale 4004.2Rider footrest
I had test ride with heavy weight plum pillion rider. Didn't cross 60km/hr speed. Posting some pros & cons in my view.PROS-- looks are super nice to fall in love with it. Handling is vert comfortable & good. The sitting comfort is excellent. Engine is super smooth. Suspension is too nice. Breaking is also good. Pickup is good. Its heavy but weight isn't felt while riding. Overall built quality & design is excellent. CONS--The major issue is engine heat. Heat isn't noticed when bike is in motion. But when its halted we can actually feel the heat on calf & thighs. The gear shift lever is too long for mid size shoe & heal shift lever is absent. There is no place for tool kit storage. the rider footrest is large & comfortable but its much extended outward which keeps brushing & hitting the calf. The pillion seat is independent but there is no option to detach it. The company doesn't provide optional backrest for pillion rider as accessories. Don't know about its fuel economy & service cost & aftersales service.

Imperiale 400Comfortable cruisers
It is one of the most comfortable cruisers that I’ve owned to date. Wonderful riding posture, Minimal or almost no vibrations at over 100kmph, A beautiful console to look at while riding, a Neat and clean paint job and most importantly! pretty dedicatedly assembled motorbike which is a delight to a rider's eye. (bhp and torque are the two totally out of syllabus subjects) the main concern that I have with Benelli is their service, I live in Guwahati, Assam and the dealer here is running an entire service station with just one mechanic and that too an amateur.The only thing they seem to know is an oil change and replacement of parts and the strangest of’em all is that you can’t purchase any parts and service on your own, not even the engine oil. My bike’s running a mileage of 20 to 22 km and they couldn’t figure out the reason why !!!! without proper after-sales service, i don’t believe any company could survive this forever-growing competitive market of motorbikes no matter how good is the product.

Imperiale 4004.2For me it was love
For me it was love at first sight. I saw the ad on Facebook and fell for it. I was eagerly waiting for the price to be announced and booked the red one the same day. After more than three months' of waiting I got my hands on the bike on 6th of February. The first thing that struck me during the test-ride was the refinement and absolute quality. The engine offers quite powerful performance and urges you to twist the grip further. Ride quality is excellent. The bike is more suited for long highway rides but it handles quite well in city traffic, except for the slightly large turning radius. The retro looks are simply amazing. I am still in the process of running-in the engine, so I can only say that mileage is in excess of 30 kmpl. The exhaust has a muted roar that is so thrilling both on the highways as well as the city roads. Engine heat is a real problem and I hope it will reduce after the running-in period. 06/03/2020:I got back the bike after the first free service at 1000 kms and the service charge was a mere Rs. 1365. I need to go for a ride and check whether the engine heat has been reduced. I was told by the Service manager that it will come down since the engine oil has been changed from the normal to a synthetic one.

Imperiale 4003.8Benelli imperiale
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.

R15SExcellent mileage
This is the most powerful bike.It delivers amazing performance, Has good looks, And provides excellent mileage.It was a dream from the age of 15 to own a yamaha machine.At my 22 birthday, My father took me to his small activa and he told me we are going to buy your birthday gift.I was confused why he is taking me to buy it he could have brought it prior.At last, The scooter stopped in front of a huge board and my heart started beating, My excitement and confusion started hitting me again.And i got hands-on with that beautiful machine it was r15 v3.The riding experience is awesome.We are actually sitting inside a cockpit that kind of comfort we will get in v3.Everybody knows that in terms of looks and performance and also mileage there is no other bike in its segment is there to compete with v3.Maintenance is like a normal bike.As compared to other bikes in the segment its really cheap.Pros - looks, Mileage, Performance, Reliability, Gears are crisp.Cons- i haven't felt any but many people told me that there was the issue of back pain due to the postureother than that i haven't felt any.

R15SDriving is very impressive
Yamaha R15S is a very aggressive and attractive looking bike that gives amazing road presence and the feel to drive this bike is very impressive. The power in this bike is incredible and the fuel tank of this bike is very unique and the suspension is on the softer side and it comes with the telescopic suspension. The handling is very good and is a superb bike to drive and the braking is good but the posture is on the aggressive side that gives uncomfort for the long rides.
