Benelli Imperiale 400 vs Keeway K-Light 250V

Question 1

Q. I am really confused between Benelli 400, Royal Enfield classic 350 and Jawa standard, please suggest?

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, performance figures, features required, etc. The 2021 Classic 350 is an all-new bike! Everything from the motor and frame to the underpinnings and ergonomics has been reworked. Coming to the bike’s hardware, the new Classic uses a new fatter 41mm telescopic fork up front and a twin shock setup at the rear. Even the brakes have been updated to Bybre units at both ends which clamp on to a 300mm front and a 270mm rear disc brake. Moving onto the ergonomics, the Classic 350 features a new rider and pillion seat with thicker cushioning which improves ride comfort. The handlebar sits taller, offering an upright riding posture. Coming to the styling, the bike looks pretty similar to the outgoing model, however, it's been cleverly redesigned. On the other hand, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition. Whereas, the Jawa uses a short-stroke, performance-oriented engine with a 6-speed transmission. Sure it’s fast, but it lacks the retro laidback charm of an under the square engine, something we think is crucial for a buyer in this segment. The 293cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine generates 26.51PS of power and 27.05Nm of torque on the Jawa. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision.

The bike could prove to be great companion for your daily runs. Benelli initially originated in Italy which is fully owned by China based Qianjiang Group currently. Moreover, the availability of spare parts and after sales service would depend on the availability of service centers in your city.

Question 3

Q. Which is better Royal Enfield Classic 350 signals or Benelli Imperiale 400?

Answer

Definitely imperiale 400. once you take taste ride of imperiale you'll fall in love with that bike

Answer

Heavier, larger turning circle, and higher point of gravity. Otherwise excellent bike. Rear suspension is rather hard

Answer

I have a 2019 RE Classic 350 (not the Signals edition), as well as a Benelli Imperiale 400 which was delivered to me on February 1, 2020. I use both the motorcycles on alternate days. I find that using the RE is easier in city traffic because of its low weight, right turning radius and revving engine. For long rides on open stretches of the highway, the Benelli outshines the RE because of it’s smooth engine, vibration free operation at higher speeds and stability due to it’s heavy weight. The Benelli is difficult to get in and out of right parking spots because of it’s larger dimensions and heavier weight. You have to consider the environment in which you are going to primarily ride before making a decision. In my opinion, both are excellent motorcycles.

Question 5

Q. How much does Benelli Imperiale 400 weighs compared to RE 350x and where does it stood ahead of Thunderbird 350x in terms of looks and performance?

Answer

Yesterday i ride Imperiale for 110 km without break and with speed of 110kmph.that bike is truly Imperial in feeling.

Answer

Definitely Imperiale is heavy bike as compare to RE. You can compare Imperiale with continental GT or Interceptor 650 in terms of handling in city. Performance wise that bike stands in middle of classic 500 and Interceptor650. I am not saying that , this bike has top end like 650, But Imperiale can do 100-110 on highway all day long without stress and without vibration. In looks you cannot imagine how BIG that bike is. While riding you can 100% grab attention of public.

Answer

The Benelli Imperiale weighs 205 kg. In comparison, the RE Classic 350 weighs 192 kg.
