Worst bike experience.... Not recommended for

2 months ago by Naveenkumar3,202 views

My first impression got by service cost but when a new bike was given for the first service after one-month bike got stopped in the middle road and then taken a bike at my own expense of spending 2000rs in a tempo van and then showroom giving an ignition problem ok that too fine. Recently on Feb '23 given a bike clutch plate change in 8k km then after a month in April '23 again got an issue with gear shifting but the showroom person told me that has a problem in the engine sector told.

The bike performance is very good.
But when it comes to maintenance it is too costly.
Every now & then you will have a problem.
When you have a service station 40km from your location very hard to find a spare part for Benelli in my location.
The average of this bike can get up to 25kmpl. The only reason not to buy this is because of the service station.

First of all its very costly compared to other bikes available in this segment. Furthermore, the maintenance cost is 4-5 times high as compared to normal costs. Support for this bike is also very rare, with no alloy wheels, and low mileage. Better to go for royal Enfield. Benelli does not provide any accessories.

My personal review is that
Performance: one of the best bikes in this segment uff the initial torque is very much impressive esp no lag which makes it easy for overtaking
Comfort:
1)ground clearance is one of the major drawbacks when a pillion rider sits on the central stand and easily hits the speed breaker.
2)heating issue is one of the major drawbacks especially in city rides the heat waves hits our leg
3)riding comfort is good in this bike and handling feels good compared with similar-segment bikes
long rides we can do it easily without much back pain also tiredness won't be felt
Mileage and service:
1)parts are very much expensive compared to similar segment vehicles also there is a delay in service centers majorly there are only a few service stations
2)as for me in Chennai city am getting a mileage of 22-26 kmpl whereas in highways 28-30 kmpl
Conclusion:
If you are gonna get this bike for daily use it is not at all recommended but if ur a long ride lover this bike is perfect the negative point is parts are expensive and tyres are tube other than that I could say it is one of the best bikes in the segment have ever ride.

The buying experience was good, got it delivered in under 1week. Ever since the first ride till now, this bike is smooth as butter and beautiful for Indian roads. 1,500 idle RPM is a bit high for traffic situations, and low RPM pickup on 2nd gear is not good so got to keep changing to 1st which affects mileage. Servicing and maintenance are higher than RE but worth it because it's a better bike as well. Pros: Looks, Power, Everything else. Cons: Front headlamp should be LED, Double stand too low.

The showroom salesmen know all the complainants and still, they lie bout the bike.
Good ergonomics for long highway rides, but not at all made city and off roads, even though claimed ground clearance is better than royal enfield, the double stand is at a height of just 50-60mm from the ground and hits even fr a minor bump in the city.
Service cost is too high, and have to wait a lot for spares,
I changed my brake pads twice, first at 6k kms and next at 14k.
Due to the delay, the motor problem bike had to be towed to the showroom as there is no kick start at 13k kms.
Now there is a front abs problem.
And the major and dangerous issue is frequent alignment problems, cuz of rusting of spokes. I had to get the wheel aligned twice just within 15k kms.
(summarising - brakes, spoke wheels, service cost, time-consuming services, no after-market spare parts, high rpm issue, and poor electrical wiring are the major issues).

especially in kochi showroom.
It's a trap,

Writing this review after owning it for 5 months and completing 4500 km.
No doubt about the quality and riding experience, it is one of the best in class with very low to no vibrations up to the speed of 120 kmph.
However, I feel cheated after buying it coz it’s being used for my daily commute and the sales team had confirmed the mileage as 32-35 kmpl but in reality, it hardly touches the 20kmpl mark on day-to-day city rides.
The ground clearance is extremely low and touches the humps even without a pillion rider.
I have visited the service center twice in the last 5 months for the above issues but no resolution was provided.
1st free service I was charged around rs. 2300 when asked for the reason they give you unsatisfactory answers.
I am in a dilemma whether to continue with it or sell it and buy a re-interceptor instead.

The Benelli Imperiale 400 was nearing the end of its tenure in the BikeWale Long Term fleet and I wanted to ride it for a longer distance before handing it back. So, just like most other memorable road trips, my road trip with the Benelli Imperiale 400 was (mostly)...

23 February 2021

We've been riding the Benelli Imperiale400 for a while now- around 2000km if we talk numbers. And the majority of those kilometres have been clocked riding in the city. While my commute mostly consists of open stretches of road and fast-moving traffic, there were more than...

While we have ridden the Imperiale before, it was only for a couple of days. This time the modern retro stays with us for a healthy 180 days through which I will be riding it in and around the city, doing some intercity commutes, and a couple of long-distance rides too. So,...
