Benelli Imperiale 400 review (4K) - Onroad.Bike

[@isaacwright9573]

If you are watching this video with intention to buy this bike, i have to share with you my own experience of owning this bike for 3 months and 6k kilometers made. It is a great commuter, looks impecable, simple and very modest on fuel consumtion. Yes the rear is a bit harsh, and for my taste the fork is too soft. It does easily 110kmh, the torque in the city is pretty impressive. On the fuel economy, it does around 350km on one tank, which is pretty impressive. It is a surprisingly stable bike on speeds above 100kmh and on harsh road. At the end, for the money, it is a lot of bike, with great design and character, which will make you smile whenever you jump on it. At least makes me smile)

Thanks buddy for valuable feedback.. 😊how does it cost in your country... it's around 2.5 lakh in india 🤗

Are the tyres tube or tubeless? There are some spoke wheels for tube and some for tubeless tyres... Thank you!

@@grz2g1 agree, being a more modern bike. 👍

@@p.santos6644 Also what I really like is its long stroke engine. It rides exactly like a Royal Enfield - a more refined RE to be precise. We have another retro motor from Jawa here in India but it doesn't have the long stroke charm. Despite outperforming competition in every aspect, Jawa doesn't give you that retro charm.

@@p.santos6644 hahahaha...in that case you should buy RE Interceptor 650. It's an outstanding machine. In Indian cities it could only fetch 100km/5-6L. The very reason I didn't choose one. On highways it does 100km/4L but I ride 90% in the city. Price of Interceptor 650 in India is the same you will pay for an Imperiale in Hungary. It's an outstanding value proposition as well.

Just an example: BMW F850 engines are produced in China... Here in Hungary we know some Keeway motorbikes (same company), which are over 100.000 km running - without huge problems. So personally I would buy a Benelli without serious doubts.
