Benelli has successfully commenced deliveries of its newly launched, Imperiale 400. The retro motorcycle has already crossed 700 bookings till now.
Benelli Imperiale 400 has had good initial success after seeing more than 500 bookings in just weeks of launch. It is the most popular Benelli motorcycle as of now and the companies say that its inquiries are increasing day by day.
The retro-styled cruiser is priced at Rs 1.69 Lakhs (ex-showroom), which makes it just Rs 4,000 costlier than the Jawa and even the top-end Signals Edition of Classic 350. Despite it being a CKD motorcycle, Benelli has managed to enter the competition with an aggressive price tag.
Meanwhile, the deliveries of Benelli Imperiale 400 have commenced across all dealerships. The bookings of the bike can be done online on Benelli’s website or through the dealerships as well, for a token amount of Rs 4,000.
