Benelli Imperiale 400 2022

With the Imperiale 400, Benelli presents a worthy candidate for joining the glorious past days of the Italian cult brand. In terms of riding dynamics, the approach is even a little too authentic. We're not talking about the stew, which does a good job and is great for cruising. It's the chassis and braking system, which are no longer up to date for a motorbike of the 21st century. Those who are aware of this can spend wonderful hours with the Imperiale 400 - motorcycling as it was back then.
