A classic bike with a classic name. The Imperiale is a machine made for free spirits. This is the Benelli motorcycle with a classic taste. It’s a reinterpretation of a historical model of the Benelli-MotoBi range produced in the 1950s. Now we have an authentic bike with a pure spirit that finds its essence in an elegant, modern, retro motorcycle ready for today’s roads.

The beating heart of the new 400 is the new single-cylinder, four-stroke, air cooled engine. It has a single overhead camshaft timing system and electronic fuel injection which offers maximum fuel economy in any riding conditions. 

Its maximum power is just over 20 hp at 5500 rpm, with torque of 28 Nm at only 3500 rpm.

The braking system on the Imperiale 400 is both effective and balanced. It features a 300 mm diameter disc on the front with two-piston floating calliper and a 240 mm disc with single-piston calliper at the rear. The aluminium alloy rims have different diameters: 19″ on the front end, 18″ on the back, respectively mounting 110/90 and 130/80 tyres. Chrome inserts accentuate the vintage style of this new motorcycle, reinforced by the round front headlight and the teardrop tank, which bring out the motorcycle’s true essence.
