Benelli has been regularly updating the prices of its motorcycles in 2022 and the Imperiale 400 is the latest to receive a price hike. The retro-styled motorcycle is dearer by Rs 4,000 and this is irrespective of the colour option. 

The Benelli Imperiale 400 in silver now costs Rs 2.09 lakh, while the red and black colours will set you back by Rs 2.14 lakh. 

This is the second time in two months that Benelli has raised the prices of the Imperiale 400; the last hike was of Rs 2,201 in March 2022. As before, there are no cosmetic or mechanical changes to the motorcycle.

Despite the price hike, the Imperiale 400 still undercuts the top-spec Royal Enfield Classic 350 (Rs 2.21 lakh). It also goes up against the Honda H'ness CB350, which starts at Rs 1.98 lakh and goes up to Rs 2.05 lakh for the Anniversary Edition.
