The cruiser motorcycle is a direct rival for the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Jawa motorcycles in its price segment. According to one of the Benelli officials, the bike has received a positive response since the announcement of the bookings in India. The deliveries of the Imperiale 400 are being facilitated through all
Benelli showrooms across the country.

The Imperiale 400 is an amazing attempt by the brand in order to challenge the segment leader - Classic 350. Although it’s certain that the bike will be unable to fetch a sales number close to the C350 but surely it's a good option for the buyers in this segment.
