User Review of Imperiale 400 by Venkat

Overall, this bike is good. The comfort is also great, making it a good value-for-money product. It offers excellent power with enough torque to easily pull a truck. The design is nice, and it doesn't heat up much. This bike is a must-consider and is better than the Classic 350, with less vibration.

About the Reviewer

The bike looks good and is larger compared to RE 350, it's a premium segment bike with an affordable price range, a Good bike with no vibration, super smooth on long drives, cruising experience is too good, overall I feel lucky having this bike.

Worst bike in all aspects please don't buy splendor has better performance
Riding posture also not comfortable
Buy some other bike instead it's good they stopped producing this bike don't go for 2nd hand market also
Service cost and spares cost is also very high and has only one service station in and around Bangalore

About the Reviewer

Firstly, Don't fall for the false sales pitch from these guys. They just want to sell bikes all on false notes, the parts cost a lot just for reference Clutch plates costs around 7500 + 1200 for installation.. Which is crazy and the durability is very low .
Maintanence is very expensive after 2nd service.
I would not recommend this bike for daily commute.

About the Reviewer

As a college student I craved for more power because this was better than a royal enfield but as a typical teenager I changed its exaust, and now I technically got a single cylinder bike which sounds like a parallel twin engine and has significantly increased power and pickup, despite the exaust the engine is still smooth like a butter but the only thing which troubles me is the availability of parts at the showroom, the service is poor so I have no hate for the bike but it needs a weight reduction and a better-turning radius cuz this is like turning a car.

About the Reviewer

My first impression got by service cost but when a new bike was given for the first service after one-month bike got stopped in the middle road and then taken a bike at my own expense of spending 2000rs in a tempo van and then showroom giving an ignition problem ok that too fine. Recently on Feb '23 given a bike clutch plate change in 8k km then after a month in April '23 again got an issue with gear shifting but the showroom person told me that has a problem in the engine sector told.

About the Reviewer

The bike performance is very good.
But when it comes to maintenance it is too costly.
Every now & then you will have a problem.
When you have a service station 40km from your location very hard to find a spare part for Benelli in my location.
The average of this bike can get up to 25kmpl. The only reason not to buy this is because of the service station.

About the Reviewer

First of all its very costly compared to other bikes available in this segment. Furthermore, the maintenance cost is 4-5 times high as compared to normal costs. Support for this bike is also very rare, with no alloy wheels, and low mileage. Better to go for royal Enfield. Benelli does not provide any accessories.
