Benelli Imperiale 400 Features

Being a retro-styled motorcycle, the Imperiale 400 comes with several classic elements. For example, it has a round halogen headlamp that goes well with the oval-shaped turn signals. The chrome treatment on the rearview mirrors is a nice touch; whereas the chrome-finished spoke wheels and exhaust shield add a premium-ness to the motorcycle’s overall visual appeal.

The large fenders do a good job in giving the Imperiale 400 an old-school look. Helping them is the classical tail light and turn signal cluster. The motorcycle also features a twin-pod instrument cluster, split seats, and tank pads.

As we mentioned earlier, the Imperiale 400 is the only Benelli motorcycle that’s available for purchase as of now in our country. However, more new models are in the pipeline. Based on a previous report, the brand is expected to launch one new BS6 motorcycle every month from January 2021. This process will continue until August next year. Benelli India has also confirmed the model names, however, an exact launch timeline has not been disclosed yet.
