Introducing Piaggio’s Premium Sport-Touring Crossover

Our Official Bike Review

Piaggio Beverly S 400 – Sporty Grit, Grand Touring Grace

More than two decades after the original Beverly redefined what an urban scooter could be, the Beverly S 400 arrives as the sportiest, most capable expression of that vision yet. This isn’t just a city commuter with a bigger engine bolted on — it’s a genuine crossover that blends the planted, confident feel of a high-wheel chassis with the performance and long-distance comfort of a grand tourer. Powered by a Euro 5 compliant 400cc HPE and dressed in unmistakably athletic styling, the Beverly S 400 is built for riders who demand more from their daily ride.

Performance with Purpose

The 399cc liquid-cooled HPE (High Performance Engine) four-valve single delivers 26 kW (35 hp) and a substantial 37.7 Nm of torque — representing a 17% increase in power and a 30% jump in torque over the previous 350cc generation. That translates to strong, confident acceleration in urban traffic, effortless highway merging, and relaxed high-speed cruising with power in reserve. The automatic CVT transmission keeps things seamless, while the clever placement of the fuel tank in the central tunnel lowers the centre of gravity, giving the Beverly S 400 a level of agility and riding engagement more typically associated with a motorcycle. With a 12.5-litre tank and fuel economy of 28.6 km/l, range between fill-ups is genuinely impressive for a machine this capable.

Rider-Focused Tech

Technology is woven throughout the Beverly S 400 experience. The 5.5-inch LCD instrument panel integrates Bluetooth connectivity via the standard Piaggio MIA system, allowing you to manage calls, music, message notifications and navigation directly from the handlebars. The full-feature keyless system lets you start the engine, open the fuel cap, pop the seat and lock the steering — all while the fob stays in your pocket. Dual-channel ABS paired with ASR traction control provides assured braking and grip in all conditions, backed by serious stopping hardware: a 300 mm front disc and 240 mm rear disc, both with twin-piston floating callipers. Showa suspension — a hydraulic telescopic fork up front with 35 mm stanchions and twin rear shocks with five-position preload adjustment — delivers composed, confidence-inspiring handling whether you’re navigating city streets or carving through the hills. The under-seat compartment swallows a modular helmet, and a glove box with USB port keeps your devices charged.

Design: Aggression Meets Elegance

The Beverly S 400 wears its sporting intent with conviction. Matt graphite-grey finishes on the luggage rack, passenger footpegs, central tunnel and dark grey wheel rims set an assertive, athletic tone, while the black dual-material saddle with double contrast stitching adds a premium tactile detail. The angular bodywork gives the Beverly S a distinctly modern, aggressive profile, and full LED lighting ensures the front end looks as sharp at night as it does during the day. A top fairing comes standard, offering genuine wind protection for longer rides. Large 16-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels lend a road presence and stability that smaller scooters simply can’t replicate — this is a machine that looks, and feels, like it belongs on the open road.

Is It for You?

The Piaggio Beverly S 400 is for the rider who has outgrown the compromise. You want real highway performance, genuine sport-touring comfort, and connected tech that simplifies your daily experience — all wrapped in a design that makes no apologies for its sporting character. Whether it’s a cross-city commute, a weekend escape through the hinterland, or simply the satisfaction of riding a machine that does everything well, the Beverly S 400 delivers with the kind of confidence that only comes from over two decades of evolution
