Piaggio Beverly 400 S 2021

Piaggio Beverly 400 S 2021

The Piaggio Beverly 400S for 2021 is noticeably stronger and visually more mature. The everyday hero can cope with tight city traffic just as well as with brisk country road kilometres and occasional motorway excursions. If you can do without a colour TFT display, the Beverly 400 is a fun scooter at a fair price.

powerful engine

good chassis

easy to handle

suitable for motorways
