Take a new Euro 5-compliant 400-cc HPE (High Performance Engine) and combine it with motorcycle chassis architecture and you have a winning formula. Not only do you get a notable increase in power and torque for outstanding performance and more agile rideability, but the single cylinder four-stroke, 4-valve, liquid-cooled package with electronic injection delivers reduced noise and fuel consumption, making it ideal for longer trips. Also worth noting is the improved surface grip, thanks to the balance achieved through the high wheels and light alloy rims, with the front wheel 2” larger than the rear.
There’s no mistaking the original and much-loved distinctive design in this new sporty incarnation, but there are a few tweaks such as the redesigned front and side silhouette which takes on a more muscular look, but tapers towards the sleek tail end. The LED indicators and parking lights delineate the edges of the shield to create a type of illuminated “signature” that is recognisable even during the day. LED lighting is also found in the rear while the numberplate holder takes inspiration from the motorcycling world. Glossy black detailing and seven-spoke wheel rims are bound to grab attention, while the elegant double-upholstered, double-stitched saddle is testament to a meticulous level of attention to detail.
The new 400-cc High Performance Engine is more than a simple increase in cubic centimetres. Maximum power is 17% greater than the previous 350 cc version, while maximum torque increases by 30% for an engine that delivers over 35 horsepower and is Euro 5 compliant, giving the BV 400 the best power to weight ratio in the category.
The new BV400 has always been elegant, but the latest incarnation is more dynamic than ever, with clean, decisive lines and details that highlight its sporty, gritty personality. The epitome of Made in Italy style, its artful combination of colors, materials, and design is destined to have you swooning before you even hop in the saddle.
The position of the fuel tank in the center of the footwell has long been a particular feature of the BV400. Not only does it better centralize mass for a more agile riding experience, but it also means you can refuel without dismounting. Last but not least, it makes for a spacious under seat compartment that is equipped with a courtesy light and can hold two open-face helmets. There’s more storage in the form of a luggage rack with integrated passenger handles, a handy retractable bag hook, and a glovebox with a USB port in the rear of the shield for charging your phone on the go. The 400 HPE also sports a special fairing in a nod to its out-of-town touring credentials and spirit.
Smart technology transforms the bike-rider interaction, simplifying life with features such as Bike Finder, a handy function when you are trying to pick out your bike in a crowded parking area. Simply press the remote and the horn and lights will be activated. The BV has also done away with a traditional key, using a keyless system that enables you to start up the engine, open the seat and fuel cap and position the steering lock, all by simply pressing the fob in your pocket. The new “navigation bridge” houses a digital 5.5” LCD instrument panel in the centre, with ergonomically designed commands placed for maximum comfort on each side of the handlebar. All lights and indicators used LED technology.
