Presented at EICMA 2016, this 400 Imperial should roll out in the middle of the year. After having abandoned the muscular niches of the sports car and the roadster, Benelli turned to vintage with a nice little Leoncino. An almost intrepid rascal that we could see playing in the avenues. Always in the retro but in a more consensual style, the Sino-Italian brand invests the clan of Bonneville, V7 and Bullet with this Imperiale.
By keeping its look of old English, the machine hits the mark. It must be said that this stamp is particularly fashionable. So we seize the opportunity. Everything is designed to make people hesitate: the spoked rims, the chrome mudguards, the sausage pot, the saddle mounted on springs, the coarse attachment of the silencer in the Eastern country style, the appearance of the housings, the fins of the motor…
In short, the Imperial wants to take us back in time. At the time of the first Imperiale of the 1960s? Which wasn’t really a Benelli but a Motobi. This brand was created by one of the family members, Giuseppe Benelli, following a conflict as he animates so many stories. This 400 would thus be similar to a distant cousin of the 125 of yesteryear..
Truce of chinoiseries, let’s move on to … Well no, we are in the middle of Chinese precisely. Propelled by a single cylinder of 373.5 cm3, the Benelli will offer you the performances of a mechanics of the last century; from the very beginning. Its 19.7 horsepower will allow you to swing, play nuts and provoke the 125. The 3 mkg of torque will allow a certain effort, without fuss..
Camped on a double steel cradle frame, the 400 Imperiale is equipped with a 41 mm fork, a 300 mm front brake disc with double piston caliper + a 240 mm rear disc, ABS, 19- and 18-inch wheels and a perfectly classic headlight-counters-blinkers assembly. With this aspect, we would almost be tempted to believe it.
The Benelli Imperiale 400 will not have an easy task investing in the segment. It will have to come up with an attractive price, because fighting against the tenors of the category can only be done on its name, its chimera and its price..
