Benelli Imperiale 400 vs Suzuki Gixxer 250

Question 1

Q. I am really confused between Benelli 400, Royal Enfield classic 350 and Jawa standard, please suggest?

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, performance figures, features required, etc. The 2021 Classic 350 is an all-new bike! Everything from the motor and frame to the underpinnings and ergonomics has been reworked. Coming to the bike’s hardware, the new Classic uses a new fatter 41mm telescopic fork up front and a twin shock setup at the rear. Even the brakes have been updated to Bybre units at both ends which clamp on to a 300mm front and a 270mm rear disc brake. Moving onto the ergonomics, the Classic 350 features a new rider and pillion seat with thicker cushioning which improves ride comfort. The handlebar sits taller, offering an upright riding posture. Coming to the styling, the bike looks pretty similar to the outgoing model, however, it's been cleverly redesigned. On the other hand, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition. Whereas, the Jawa uses a short-stroke, performance-oriented engine with a 6-speed transmission. Sure it’s fast, but it lacks the retro laidback charm of an under the square engine, something we think is crucial for a buyer in this segment. The 293cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine generates 26.51PS of power and 27.05Nm of torque on the Jawa. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision.

Question 2

Q. I have a choice gixer sf 250 or rc 200 can any one suggest me to help to choose

Answer

Selecting between the KTM RC 200 and Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, features required, comfort, usage of the bike, etc. While the Gixxer SF 250 offers a sporty riding experience, it isn’t an out-and-out sportbike. It does offer an affordable, and potentially more fun alternative, making it a great option for more mature riders. On the other hand, The KTM RC 200 continues to be one of the best beginner’s sports bikes you can buy if you’re looking to get into track riding or racing. However, the aggressive riding posture and a steep price tag make you reconsider the options. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Question 3

Q. Among Suzuki Gixxer250, Dominar 250, Pulsar NS 200 and Pulsar RS 200 which is best for breaking and stunts like rolling stoppie, wheelie etc?

Answer

As per your requirements, Suzuki Gixxer 250 would be a great option. It has a good balance of power performance and weight. However, stoppie would be a difficult task because of ABS.

Question 4

Q. I shortlisted these motorcycle Gixxer 250 naked, Honda highness, dominar 250 and ktm duke 200. Which would be better pick? I want to do occasional touring and weekend short rides.

Answer

As per your requirements, you may you for any bike among Suzuki Gixxer 250, Bajaj Dominar 250 and Honda H'ness. The CB 350 makes the best of both worlds: it’s not only powerful but also makes most of its torque lower down the rev range. Not to mention, it’s the second lightest bike after the BS6 Jawa in its segment. If you like the badge of Honda and looking for a easy to handle bike with comfortable ergonomics and practicality, Honda H'ness would be a great pick. As a motorcycle, the Dominar 250 does one thing right -- it is fit to purpose. The Dominar 400, for example, always felt like a confused motorcycle as the 390’s motor is too manic to make for a great sports tourer. It gets the job done, but just about. On the other hand, the Dominar 250’s motor felt boring on the KTM, but combined with the comfortable tourer the Dominar is, it works beautifully. It truly feels like it deserves the ‘sports tourer’ tag. So while Bajaj might pitch it as the entry-level Dominar, we think the 250 is the Dominar in its perfect form. If we talk about Suzuki Gixxer, it offers a good balance between comfort and power performance. It is Comfortable in the city and on the highway, it has big bike looks and a decent amount of features. You may compare all these bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

Question 6

Q. Which is better Royal Enfield Classic 350 signals or Benelli Imperiale 400?

Answer

Definitely imperiale 400. once you take taste ride of imperiale you'll fall in love with that bike

Answer

Heavier, larger turning circle, and higher point of gravity. Otherwise excellent bike. Rear suspension is rather hard

Answer

I have a 2019 RE Classic 350 (not the Signals edition), as well as a Benelli Imperiale 400 which was delivered to me on February 1, 2020. I use both the motorcycles on alternate days. I find that using the RE is easier in city traffic because of its low weight, right turning radius and revving engine. For long rides on open stretches of the highway, the Benelli outshines the RE because of it’s smooth engine, vibration free operation at higher speeds and stability due to it’s heavy weight. The Benelli is difficult to get in and out of right parking spots because of it’s larger dimensions and heavier weight. You have to consider the environment in which you are going to primarily ride before making a decision. In my opinion, both are excellent motorcycles.
