2023 Piaggio Beverly S 400 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Piaggio's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2023 Piaggio Beverly S 400 pairs a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 34.9 HP (25.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 37.7 Nm (27.8 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 87.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Beverly S 400 measures 195 kg (430 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.59 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,550 mm (61 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 324 km (201 miles) between fill-ups.
