With the Imperiale 400, Benelli presents a worthy candidate for joining the glorious past days of the Italian cult brand. In terms of riding dynamics, the approach is even a little too authentic. We're not talking about the stew, which does a good job and is great for cruising. It's the chassis and braking system, which are no longer up to date for a motorbike of the 21st century. Those who are aware of this can spend wonderful hours with the Imperiale 400 - motorcycling as it was back then.

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2018

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2018

No matter which platform Kawasaki puts the 650 cubic two-cylinder in, the result is always a great motorbike! Even though the engine is unusually rev-happy for a cruiser, it results in a cruiser that actually qualifies as a sports cruiser when paired with the sporty chassis set-up. The only brake is the limited lean angle clearance, but this will not deter lovers of hearty footrest grinding. With such a good bike, we hope that Kawasaki will follow suit - after all, the Vulcan S has been with us almost unchanged since 2015.
