    Such a neat review!
    I'm actually looking for a motorcycle as an option for my Electra, rather to replace it; since my confidence riding the Electra is significantly lowering. When I did the test ride on this motorcycle it felt like regaining the same confidence I had 7 years back when I got my Electra. I felt only one concern regarding Imperiale that there were much noticeable (and irritating too) vibrations on the tank at the speed of roughly 60 kmph when I test rode this one in the city. Might that be because of the engine tuning the showroom people might have done on the test riding machines?

    1. BENELLI IMPERIALE 400
    2. ROYAL ENFILED latest CLASSIC 350 BS6
    3. HONDA CB350 HIGHNESS
    I am impressed with Benelli Meter console. Let me please know from yourside which bike is best. And as per YOU ARE THE OWNER OF BENELLI please tell me
    1. IS THERE ANY VIBRATIONS in benelli impireale
    2. KICKER is not there in all bikes 😭 Is there any problem if SELF stat gives problem?
    3. IS THERE TUBELESS TYRES option?
    4. IS THERE DUAL CHANNEL ABS ?

    Re needs to deal with rust issues . Also re needs to release a bigger version of the 650 twins . They aren’t that comfortable and changing the seat makes the bike look funny . So they should try making a classic body for it .
    Saying this because I tried 650 and Jawa but wasn’t comfortable enough

    Jawa's Retro looks and performance didn't come anywhere closer to RE bikes, which put me off really.
    Now that I found the Benelli as a great challenger to RE and Jawa bikes, I might go for it, provided they offer the following :
    Own branded riding gear, Customization including choice of having single, long, wide seat for long rides, bumpy roads
    Affordable, reliable Pan India Spares and Services in remote places like Leh, Ladakh, Kashmir etc.
    Liquid cooled Engine, matching Jawa bikes to prevent overheating in slow traffic or mountain and long distance highways and roads.
    Engine guards, Windshields, Engine and Radiator protection.
    BS6 Engine with fuel efficiency

      People were saying the same thing when Jawa relaunched. Hope it can compete with RE.

      As long as there are people for whom features mean "dugg dugg" sound only and nothing else, RE has need not worry.

      @@sachinmali74 True that bro.... no wonder those blind RE fanboys don't mind spending a bomb on these Rotten Vibrating Elephants just for that dug dug note... because of such such fools RE has been minting loads of money just like that by selling "good looking & good sounding" junk.

    The problem with this bike is that it has a history in thier respective country where it was manufactured and sold during 1950s or so, but in India it's not having a noticable history which RE has. RE was used majorly by military and cops. which gained it a value. and people could connect to it. jawa could not do much because it's a retro disguised mojo. why we should embrace the history of some other country ? I think the new entries should stick on thier modern looks. they are entering now because india is growing and they want the share of this lucrative chunk. the saying goes well, " in Rome you should be a Roman". these new entries dont have any Indianess in it. Vespa, jawa, Bajaj etc where there since the ages which help people to connect to past. these bike makers are underestimating Indians and try to sell garbage in the name of retro.
