I stalled 5 times consecutively in the middle of a busy road my first ride, it's just funny to me now

That bike is beautiful though.

You were in the correct lane for straight over. Do the examiners think it's meant to be the right lane? Concerning.

Cool but for about 1000€ more in Europe u get a honda hornet 500. Much better bike

Thanks for a great review. I’m looking to buy an r1250r and I’m finding all the different packages and accessories from BMW totally baffling.

I see that you have the sport seat (840 mm). How do you find it? Hard, soft, medium? Do you have any fatigue because of the sport seat and stock height handlebar? Do you feel any pain? Thanks for the answers. Cheers.

I absolutely hate the way the gauges are set up. Would much rather have the RPM display as an analog gauge with a digital speed display. I just took delivery of mine, and the RPM display is virtually unreadable while driving. Also, the bike from the factory is geared way too low. One tooth up on the front sprocket is needed to make it rideable.

Thanks for an awesome take on the bike. I had a 2014 675r Daytona and this seems very similar, the engine the fit and finish. The 675r was great on real world roads but it was really a race and you felt it after about and hour and a half. I’m liking this bike, probably going to get this yellow in rs. Two questions does the red or silver look just as special or are they not quite pop like the yellow. Meaning do you see the other colors and think you could have been just as happy with those shades. 2nd are the stock rs tires plenty safe in wet conditions when your riding the twisties at close to legal speeds. They say they are not as good if it’s wet but maybe they are taking about not ideal in wet conditions when driving at high speeds

Rear seat looks rough for the passenger lol

I have one, and I absolutely adore it. 3 yrs ownership and 24000 miles. Perfect for me. I have done track days, touring, and scratching the lot. Service intervals are brilliant.

What do you think about the mirror vibration? I purchased a 2023 four months ago and those mirrors do vibrate quite a bit around 55 mph to where it's difficult to make out a vehicle brand 3-4 car length behind you. Quite disappointing I might add. I plan on pulling the mirror stalks off and placing some rubber gromets at the base to see if that helps. It's hard to distinguish if it's a cop or a regular car creeping up LOL

This Summer Started Full of Hope Very Peaceful Festive Pro British Marches in London 🇬🇧🇬🇬. Now, Due to the Violent ones that will Latch on to any Rally K. S . is Determined To Silence Ordinary Concerned Citizens. .

i have noticed that most common issues of this bike comes from European reviews but none here in Asia. may be its a weather condition perhaps. May be its not conditioned to the weather in Eurpoe/America area?...

ive been riding a year and i still get nervous, and seeing my dad crash made that worse tbf. but im back on the bike and riding

Most importantly: it has a passenger seat 😄😄 I mean, did you notice how most modern bikes have such a short tail that there is no room for a passenger at all?? What's the point of a bike if you cannot say "jump on, let's go for a ride"

Love the design of this bike. If one day they made a twin cylinder with 600-700 cc I wouldn't say no

hey i have a question after you get it from the dealship do you need to have insurence right away or before you even buy itt?

I had a 675r back in the day 2013 and my son brought one of these last year in cosmic yellow best handling bikes lve ever ridden

I've been riding for close to 20 years and I still love watching these videos, reminds me of all the "first rides" I've had buying bikes from a dealer. For some reason, riding off a lot is a whole lot more stressful than riding from a private sale.

Be interesting to see the longevity, I've heard nowt but praise for these bikes. A future 2nd hand bargain? Time will tell. Cheers!

Do you prefer this or the multistrada V4?

'Begs you to ride it', so true, tested one in June. Now if I can get someone to but my 2023 Monster.

I’m planning on getting a 300cc as an actual beginner

Akrapovic sounds awful and looks awful in comparison to the original.

he's not half making a sale is he

crazy starting with z650 lmao

Hi, nice to see another great review of this awesome bike. I actually started out on the R1200R and now own an R1250R. I have been out on many other top end bike and my R1250R Sport is still my favourite bike. All the best and Ride Safe…

That’s a big bike for a first bike.

Tip for you. Don't go riding with a group. You may be tempted to keep up with them. Ride solo. It's safer.

Blurring out the speedo does not stop the authorities working out your speed if they need to. Great bike.

Ice grey looks good, looking forward to riding one next year, very underrated machine

I just bought one, I love it. A friend rode mine and he has quite a few bikes and he says its the best ever.

Would you say a new rider could start with one of these? Maybe just the R version? Im saying new im 30 now rid dirt bikes all my life etc just never had a road bike. Currently doing my test... Love the review! Beautiful bike.

Do Triumph do pannier racks, or even a complete luggage setup for the Speed 400? Why don't reviewers ever include these things? Some of us like to tour - even on a 'smaller' capacity machines.

I don't know if the title "speed" applies to a.400

I'm really torn between the two and there's no place near me that allows test rides so I'd have to make a decision by sitting on a static bike. Nearest Triumph dealer is about 100+ miles away so that's keeping me away from Triumphs in general because of the lack of dealers/service. I just took in a 2019 Honda CB300R on trade for my CB500X (which was too heavy for me) and that lightweight (313 lbs) Honda 300 is a blast to ride, but the suspension/saddle is very stiff on our terrible blacktop roads so it's not an all-day ride bike. I'm hoping the Triumph will bring the same fun riding but with a softer suspension for these rough roads. If you've ever ridden a 300R I'd appreciate your comparison.

Really tempted to get one. Is it a lot of lean on the hands? How was the comfort there?

I went for the V2S after three GSs, so impressed this is my choice next time, so much more exciting to ride and I love the red.

Had my very first driving lesson today on a Z650, these machines are amazing! Watching this made me nervous as well haha, can't wait for the day I'll be able to pick up mine. Save miles brother, enjoy.

Great video woohoo ❤

Who said size doesn't matter❤

why did you put tape on the speed?

Looking to buy one, your review was brilliant!!

650 as a first bike? that is a bit too much.

Getting a Honda CB500X soon and this is getting me stoked!

I have one its really super, it replaced a 950s. it is effortless to drive and I noticed the big sky's im in Norfolk and you are in cambridgeshire

Beautiful motorcycle! Take a look at my 2024 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS on my channel for more footage and sound!

I have read many a silly comment about this being an old mans bike. I see no need for the adjective. It’s a mans bike.

Can you tell me where you ordered that from?

Awesome first ride home. I was nervous and excited for you while watching. I will be picking my 650 later this week and I can just imagine those nerves. Safe riding.
