    An important difference in the engines is the Benelli has a long stroke engine while the Mash has a shorter stroke than bore. That gives the Benelli a more retro single cylinder engine sound and characteristic. 20hp is really boring I mean more than 50 years ago Velocette built a 500cc single cylinder with 41hp so come on Benelli give us some more.

    I have had a MASH 400 for over a year. Absolutely love the bike. Trouble is changing the spark plug. What a pain! Been to three local motorcycle garages and none of them could do it. I love the bike but because of simple maintenance it will have to go and replaced by either an RE Interceptor or Triumph Street Twin.

    Man, I'm jealous of you Limeys. Even though I'm a big guy (6'5", 285 lbs), I love those smaller to mid displacement bikes.
    We have a new Benelli dealer here in my home town of Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA, but they mainly sell the Grom competitor and the 500cc Adv. Tourer.
    In my opinion, 500-650cc bikes are ideal for people that ride like I do. I once rode my Honda XR 650r to Chile, S.A. and never lacked for power except when I crossed the Andes Mountains without a proper main jet.
    Thanks guys, loved your video!
    P.S. My first bike was a '69 200cc Benelli Sprite, so I have a soft spot for the mark.

    I’m waiting for Benelli to bring out the 530cc version of the Imperiale. There’s the 10 horses you felt were missing. They were supposed to bring it out this summer but covid threw a spanner in their plans. Maybe early 2021.

    i like the old army style..... thats a bitta mee now... ive discovered the quiet back lanes are 10x more fun to explore..than whamming down a dual carriageway at 90mph on a race rep...yes im old... but ive done it all..... i enjoy a bike with character now

    It's amazing to me how I can ride 50 miles away from home and buy a 34.000 E bike (Goldwing), but there are no dealers in my country (eastern Europe) for cheap classic bikes! No Royal Enfields, no Mashs, no Lexmotos, no Sinnis, etc. I think there is one dealer that takes custom orders for the Imperiale, but no after market care for it. We need more classic looking, smaller displacement bikes...

    For me the Benelli is trying to be a Enfield yet the Mash is just a retro looking bike with a modern twist.
    So for me it boils down to what you want it for. The age old adage of “something for the weekend sir ?”
    My choice you ask ? I’ll take the Benelli strip it down and create a retro looking military style bike.

    Personally I prefer the benelli but it does seem cumbersome. Stupid comment but I'd go for a RE classic 500 if I wanted that style of bike. Keep up the good work!

  • @taziojgb

    Abolutely, billiant video. I was debating a fair bit on which of the 2 should be the best fit for me, in the end, love the benelli (hell i'm italian too so a bit of bias there), but the Mash has that lil more. Aiming for the green 400 !
    I know it's a bit of an heresy talk, but due need, maybe a talk on how available or which add on are available (like side purses, parcel rack? not sure if that's how u say it in english, sorry ) would be a nice addition to complete the presentation of the bike

  • @johnrocker2986
    @johnrocker2986 4 года назад

    I've had mine and completed 1500 miles its terrific value and fun on unclassified roads but far to underpowered on dual carriage ways 20hp and 200+kilo dont make for a A or M road cruiser, the throttle is nearly using 360° of twist to achieve 70mph and needs a quick action throttle.

    I think I'll buy a twinn cylinder naked 300cc to 500cc Japanese bike and put knobbie tires on it. It will probably be faster, cheaper and more reliable than either one of those. I already see a Honda 300 in very good condition for $3,200 dollars.

    Cool vidéo! It would be nice to have a more detailed review about each one of those bikes.
    I like the 400cc Mash, not so much that army model but the others are ok.
    The benelli looks awesome but they did a big mistake with the engine.
    20hp for 200kg is ridiculous.
    With 30hp it would be my choice.
    Keep it up!
