बेनेली इम्पीरियल 400

Already booked and test rode too. Previously I owned royal enfield classic 350 gun metal Grey. Little concern over after sales service. But I believe imperiale 400 will impress a lot more persons like me. Even though royal enfield launching new classic 400cc with double cradle frame, borrowing interceptor single cylinder bla bla bla, it will going to vibrate after 100km/h for sure. Because the twin cylinder interceptor itself vibrates when they crosses 120km/h. So how come the single cylinder engine interceptor engine will going to more refined. Wait and watch the magic of royal enfield.

Since, the time i heard about this bike. It made me curious. Recently i went for the test Ride and believe me it is far better than classic 300. It is far much better than classic in terms of handling, build quality, riding experience, no vibrations, has a wonderful sound, looks are great. The company is coming up with showrooms and service centers all across the country and expanding. I think this will create its own segment in retro bikes.

I have booked this motorcycle in Pune. Delivery is expected in about 75 days per the dealership. I had the opportunity to go on a short test ride, and found this motorcycle to be impressive. I also own a RE Classic 350. The Imperiale is similar, except there are no vibrations. The exhaust note is a growl rather than the thump on the Classic. The Imperiale feels more planted and powerful. Although it is heavier than the Classic 350, it does not feel heavy once you start riding it. It has several modern features such as a fuel gauge, gear indicator and trip meter. The salesman also pointed out that the motorcycle will not start if the side stand is down, which I think is a very good safety feature. It has five gears, but unlike the Classic 350, there is no heel toe shifter. You have to shift with your toes only. All in all, I think Benelli has a winner on it's hands.

Today I test ride its pick up the speed very fast , but switching gear is not smooth , it has low torque you might be stall during traffic jam , i do not like the pillion seat looks like small and pillion foot peg is not great . It's turning radius is big .it's has kind of no vibration good instrument console you can see which gear you are I like that , but i felt heat on my thigh . I think handle bar can be adjusted i felt like little leaning not straight, its onroad price is mors than 40k RE classic 350
