Features

Pros Cons of Benelli Imperiale 400

Pros

  • Cool retro design
  • Nicely tuned suspension
  • Decent engine

Cons

  • Could have had better brake feel
  • Fit and finish could be better
  • After-sales could be a problem

Verdict

The Imperiale 400 could be quite an enjoyable companion on a relaxed ride taking in the sights. Despite the minor vibes, the engine never loses its smoothness, nor does it feel like it will fall apart, even after sustained triple digit speed riding. And that is what makes the Imperiale 400 feel noticeably different. It's not a performance bike by a long shot, but a retro classic, meant for easy, relaxed riding. If that is the kind of motorcycle you seek, it ticks all the right boxes.

Pros Cons Honda CB 350 RS

Pros

  • Youthful design
  • Good performance
  • Smooth gearshifts

Cons

  • Odd rearview mirror positioning
  • Sold only via BigWing dealerships
  • No Bluetooth connectivity

Verdict

The Honda CB350RS offers quite a likeable modern classic, entry-level roadster in its segment. It does skip a few features from the Honda H'Ness CB 350 it's based on, and the price difference may not really make sense but it is a likeable motorcycle and is worth considering for anyone looking for a 'thumping' motorcycle that's not Royal Enfield, but is in the same price and performance bracket. The CB350RS competes with the Jawa 42 as well.
