Armed with a new engine, retro looks & a 1.69L price tag, it enters a territory that has been dominated by the Classic 350 for years. Is the Imperiale a better motorcycle or is the Jawa more involving? Answers and more in this video.

Should I sell my Classic 350 and get Imperiale 400 ? Yes I should...

Better in Bulid Quality 🖒
It's all fun and games till someone says nice bullet bro

Lol
Relatable 😂
Varun' brain:
**Don't say it**
**Don't say it**
**Don't say it**
Varun:
" I am Varun Painter, and I'll see you later"
Not sure, if Varun will not say it, ever! :P

Laura Painter.
That's what UA-cam's auto generated subtitles show 😂😂😂
Rishi Rajesh Thanks for the 'R' UA-cam! 🙄
@@vroombk 😂😂😂 lucky though..... Be great full to youtube for that 😂😂
finally a competition for RE. the after sale service would be a deciding factor.
Good point there, comrade!
@@powerdriftofficial both have almost same engine specwise.... Shitty
And spare parts price too
@ironshark123 yea mate.
ironshark123 🤣 so true kuch toh log kahenge
"My name is Varun Painter, and I'll see you later"
Best rhyme ever
PD, make a compilation of this!
5:34 check subtitles... "im Laura painter lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exhaust sound is really good...❤️❤️
I love my 42 but i am kinda jealous of Benelli’s console. 😅
Ya bro ...I too have 42 DABS but instrument console is really informative in Benelli.
@@dishankpharasi8979 yes i am with u
Benalli have heavily weighted. No service cente. Higher service cost. U can't handle it like jawa. Buy imprelle then u feel
Exactly 205 kg is kinda heavy for this bike .. it'll surely affect the mileage.
Heavily bike of 100 kmh is very dangerous cause of accidents
Imperialle! It will be finally a motorcycle that has the most comfortable natural riding position for seeing this beautiful country !
And not chattering in your teeth because of vibrations .
Royal Enfield still doesn't know what's hit them.
Still far away from moving RE is what I would say. RE is way ahead on network, par availability and customization.
I love it when people say RIP RE & what not 😅
Dominar guys said the same, Jawa too & now it's Imperiale
RE is still vibrating the sales charts 😝
@@nahidshaikh7168 no1 can take the spot of RE. Bikes will come and go, while RE will keep dominating.
Most comfortable position for me is the classics.
People say about RE what used to be once said about Nokia
This is the durable product segment
Agreed it will take years to wipe out an RE but look around you
And you will realise that unless they don't bring the technology at the very least that is used in export model RE's days are numbered because the competiton is biting at their heels and is now eating into their bread and butter model.
So unless they don't straighten out their act they are going to see bread and butter disappear 🤗
Little by little every quarter .
nice review explained almost everything but no exhaust sound and further can i ask it can ride with low pace on top gear
Private Ryan:It is the D Day for Enfield!
Captain Miller: 2020 Classic incoming!
I wished Benelli had done some magic with the exhaust as they have with the other benellis!
It sounds better in person.
Now that's a Monday afternoon we would like every week
Thanks Varun and PD
Hey, you're welcome, Kedar!
We hope the rest of your day is kickass as well! :D
The bike is a looker so is Mr. Painter shirt
Tachometer 👍
RE better reduce the vibrations and make ton of changes in their upcoming 2020 models,
coz the imperiale is one of the perfect retro cruiser now..!!
bilkul sahi kaha
Let's get this to 10k likes. We need that mega comparo.
Do share the video to help it reach there!
Been riding the Imperiale 400 for over 2 weeks now. Having taken test rides of the classic 350 and the thunderbird 350x, plus a lot of research. I would recommend the Imperiale 400---Build quality, Ride quality, sound plus it looks great! (let's just hope Benelli comes up with a decent service network) if they do then I'm sure this machine will give the RE a run for its nuts and bolts!
Nicely said, we'd love to know more about your bike.
@@powerdriftofficial Thank you... And yes Throttle away with the questions :-)
Was waiting eagerly for this review, the twin pod instrument cluster, the tank pad, the adjustable gear lever, the front forks - everything that indicates to good details. But will wait for a full test details to call the dealership.
We hope we can make that full review soon!
Haha already 6 month waiting list, if u wait i goes to 2 year 😂
Done my part by liking the video in first place.
Now just wanna see Jawa winning against these two.
I think it can become good looking when you cut the RE out of it :D
I wish you could also make riding gear review!!
I would say this one's a pretty good competition for Jawa and Royal Enfield. Jawa updated price for dual channel abs is around 1.83 lakhs. Where as Benelli has priced less than that with standard abs. Looks more retro than jawa i would say. If i had an option before the jawa, i would definitely went for this
Only thing will make it king is reliability and service cost!
You are right, I have bought the same Benelli as in this revieuw, i live in Holland. I rode the bike for a test and I liked it so much, I sold my Kawasaki W 800 and now I ride the Benelli, I love it!
Thanks..... Yet another classics of your trademark presentation..... And yes a tough choice to make between The Jawa and The benelli......Rgds!
Awesome..it feels like a big bike
Sounds brilliant and doesn't vibrate a lot. Looks decent too.!
Good video as usual, the soundtracks please
Do a comparison video with the rivals
So it will be easy to pick one😊
Any update on of RE @EICMA .
PLEASE update asap..
Curious to know if the powertrain has changed ,though marginally, but a change is definitely desired.
Firstly I really like your T-shirt
Coming to motorcycles I really liked riding the Jawa42 its a retro motorcycle with a modern engine but Royal Enfield is close to my heart and have many memories related to it.
Benelli Imperiale 400 is like a stepbrother who alike but we can't accept so easily
Wished they had a showroom and service centre in Punjab or chandigrh.

Booked mine 2 days back.. black Imperiale 😁
Hey, congratulations Prasanth!
Waiting period?
@mohan reddy, 2 months
Nice job ❤varun keep rocking.
4:11 that is the blue ridge ,pune behind him
Liked
Now bring it on. the comparo!
I rode Imperiale on a 200km trip to my village and back to Hyderabad. Turning and seating are better in my 2004 right shift Bullet Electra @Rajagadi.
I took a test drive and it was decent. I'd personally prefer a Jawa to this any day. Nice review though, goes with the mood of the bike. :)
It looks more like thunderbird than the classic
Hey Varun & #PDArmy welcome to Pune and rainy weather in November ☺️🤗🤗
Haha! The weather's all cuckoo this year!
Hey Mr. Painter! Is your Tee available on sale? Just loved the text "PowerDrift" and the color combination 💝
Would you like us to put it on sale, Chandrakanth?
@@powerdriftofficial yess Sir! I'm sure the other PD family would love to buy it. What do you think?
Chandra kanth very soon on 100kmph
@@powerdriftofficial , you guys might have came across team Bhp stickers on many cars. The yellow one kind of. I too have it on my own vehicles. When am i going to paste such a sticker on my bumper and windshield?????? Of course of powerdrift
@@powerdriftofficial pls do... eagerly awaiting !
Nice video... No better bike in this segment... Jawa has quality issues, every second person has a RE plus it’s a vibrator... bike booked. Just a month to go... can’t wait 😎
Bike lacks the oomph IMO. At least it is not enough for Jawa/RE crowd to consider it. Limited showroom/service options will further limit the sales.
Jawa42 it is...Love the way it feels on the road.
its very goood machine but delivry time ...its a pain in the a**
@@pricehck6009 yeah its one of the drawback, but they have already boosted up the production and I got my bike before the estimated time.
jawa = flies like a butterfly , stings like a bee😻
no offence but Jawa looks small
not much of a road presence
No presence on road. U have jawa if u feel presence
comrades just 4.5k to go 💪💪
Glad Varun bhai has come a long way, from scrapping his knee while cornering to reviewing a good content. I hope I join PD same way..... 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Thanks, you guys have kept him motivated. :)
@@powerdriftofficial off course bhai. I have been a follower to you guys since power to the rider days. Its a family thing now literally
Please make a comparison between the three RE 350, jawa, and the imperial 400...
0:02 Hey powerdrift is that T shirt available for sale,love the colour combination and graphics used was spot on.
It will be, soon!
@@powerdriftofficial take my money!!!!
Front of a Yamaha RXG and Back Of a Enfield.
If I was in the design team, Would have added a really Good Single Cushioned long seat, Wouldn't have stretched the length a mile.
The Design philosophy of a mechanical watch is the most apt parallel I would draw when designing retro Bikes,
Also would have loved more features on Imperiale For the Price you have to pay.
Plus You don't get Benelli services everywhere in India.
But then The bike looks full of feeling.
An Italian Girlfriend In your Garage. Buying this bike will never let you regret.
Perfect replacement for the royal Enfield classic(No offence)
Hey Team, it's been longtime Benelli launched Leoncino 500 and recently I got a chance to test ride. I just loved it. I wonder why you guys are not reviewing it. At least if you have already tested the bike, please let me know is it worth to put my hard earned money on this? I am not a fan of classic looking bikes and loved ducati scrambler a lot but it's very expensive and I can't afford one. Please let me know if Benelli Leoncino 500 is a good choice and also try to bring the review of this bike soon. It surely deserves PowerDrift review 😉
We would love to help you, comrade. Unfortunately we haven't yet had a chance to ride it.
Painter bhai, I'm with the banelli, something new in town. I liked it., the tank cud have been a little bigger though
During the test ride, I have felt engine heating issues and clutch is a bot hard . Have you encountered the same during your test rides? It was nimble and I could do 100 without vibrations. The top speed is around 140 km/h.
Good job Varun painter and we will see you later 🤟
If RE plonked 410 from the Himalayan into the new classic as RE classic 410 it would give goosebumps to the competition with 24bhp & some awesome thump & unique pricing, its win win for RE & old & new buyers.
Love from Nepal #Powerdrift😍😍😍😍
This review is better than motor beam's review
Motorbeam is no where in comparison....🙂
Never felt the main stand scrape eh? Heard of the Pulsar 220? :D
180 too
The servicing is parts is being put forth as an issue. But in all fairness this is something that will come from RE owners like me. I have a 2016 Classic 350 and it has needed work since the very first month. The beaks are a bloody joke. Basically, Classic 350 demands a lot of attention. If Benelli has created a machine that has good finish and requires minimal workshop visits other than servicing half the battle is already won by Benelli. The need for a service station in every corner will end automatically. Though it would be advisable to buy it only if there is a Benelli showroom and service station where you will be living/riding. A proper head on comparizon bwween the 2 wil be exciting.
The motorcycle looks very nice, especially in this vibrant Red and Blue combination.
In short, my personal opinion is: "Yet another Chinese Mule pretending to be an Italian Horse !" I am sure how Benelli owners will feel like especially when you compare it with RE in terms of customer service. While the latter sucks in that area, the former in question simply doesn't even exist. Add to that the woes of the high cost of spare parts, shoddy service and the likes. This brand is akin to the "Skoda" of motorbikes when it comes to the service department.
Love everything about this machine.. Get a 15 or 18 liter fuel tank on this machine.
Requesting Again !!
RE C350, JAWA & Bene 400....take these bikes for some serious task with maximum kind of terrain versatility...it would be one epic journey.

Varun
What do you say #PDARMY ??
Classics will never die!! So as RE.
The point for consumer will be longevity of the Brand and After Sales Service..
No guess for the winner here :)
"for me breaking serves only one purpose, that is to stop the bike" what other purpose can it serve??
1. To slow down
2. Checking the tail lamp
3. Stoppie
4. Doughnut
5. Showing off your balancing skills
6. Showing off your skidding skills
7. *Fatal warning! - Scaring the sh*t out of the tail-gating mor*n ( DANGEROUS , DO NOT TRY IT ANYWHERE)
And last
8. *Sleaze warning - Contact with pillion (Only with Consent)
Imperiale ❤️
Is its engine already used in benelli any other bike in internationally or its designed for imperiale only?
Great video
Waiting for the mega comparo
We hope you have hit Like!

@PowerDrift whatever be the bike/car in the video, the BGM is always top notch!!!

Cool bike please upload Jawa Perak new update

Varun please keep your words, I'm waiting 🤨
He has done it bro
Varun Painter, you are so lucky you get to ride such beautiful machines.
Plz tell me which color looks good Red or Black ?
please do the mega comparo really need that
And we shall! All you need to do is hit that Like button.
wow...the level of detailing is marvelous, although i bought Jawa recently because of it's technology and features, but i love Benelli too. ....this is something RE must have done 10 years ago, .,.. Benelli 100/100, Jawa 100/100, Bullet 0/100
Benelli Imperiale 400 have much higer updated consoles 🖤💛🖤
VERY WORTHY REVIEW.
THE PRODUCT IS VERY GOOD BUT IT HAS IMITATED EVEN THE BADS OF CLASSIC 350.
IN MY OPINION BLACK SPOKE TYPE ALLOYS WITH TUBELESS TYRES WOULD HAVE MADE IT SAFE PUNCTURE FREE RIDE.
USE OF DRLs INSTEAD OF AHO AND USE OF LED BULBS INSTEAD CONVENTIONAL BULB WOULD HAVE MADE IT AN UPMARKET PRODUCT.
FRONT SEAT ANGLE HAS TO BE CORRECTED AND REAR SEAT LENGTH SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCREASED.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY, AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION ARE ALSO A GREAT MISS.
FUEL TANK COULD HAVE BEEN 15-16 LITRES.
LASTLY IT SHOULD LEARN FROM FIAT, HOW DEALER NETWORK AND SERVICE SUPPORT IS IMPORTANT.
1:14 suspension
00:49 I think I have seen with the RE ..lol
Ya RE is good. Jawa is better then imprelle
I wanted to knw the mileage it offers. Also how do the vibrations stand when it goes past 100kph?
That and more shall be a part of the comprehensive review/comparo!
Imperiale if they increase their service centre in tier 2 & 3 cities
What about the reliability and after sale service?
Oh this is gonna be a grab!
Powerdrift : there's a new bike launching
LAVASA : what are you waiting for
Haha! We skipped Lavasa this time though. :P
@@powerdriftofficial 😂😂❤powerdrift
What was that song! Literally fire.
May I know!? The song started with bike intro.
Please review jawa 42 dual channel abs model
What about service and spare parts compared to JAWA and RE?
I laugh every time I see your name Varun painter 🤣🤣. But bro I really love your reviews 😍
Just in case people are wondering, other uses of brakes:
1. To slow down
2. Checking the tail lamp
3. Stoppie
4. Doughnut
5. Showing off your balancing skills
6. Showing off your skidding skills
7. Scaring the sh*t out of the tail-gating mor*n ( DANGEROUS , DO NOT TRY IT ANYWHERE)
8. Try to see glowing discs
9. Disc Frisbee? ( DANGEROUS )
And last
"Sleaze warning below"
10. Contact with pillion (Only with Consent
Though seat height is 20mm less than RE, short riders will definitely find it difficult to ride and handle the bike in traffic due to its width
140 is the top speed guys 😍
😍
There's nothing which can actually beat the RE. Looking up for your comparison video. #PD
Guess what! There would be no full review
Who else need comparison b/w RE , jawa , beneli Imperial.. hit like 👍👍👍👍
Pleases comment on the comfort of ride vibrations and jerks compared to other similar bikes.
desperately waiting for the RE 2020 line up.
😔
Should I go for SF 250 ? my daily commute is 100 km :(
SF 250, CBR250R, FAZER250 AND NINJA 300 ALL ARE GOOD.

I like performance so i will definitely go with jawa.
Engine's got a lot of problems. RE and Benelli are better
