I saw one of these in Blade Stratford (Upon-Avon) a few days ago and I think they look better 'in the flesh' so to speak. Not a bike I particularly want but I must admit I was impressed with it....Incidentally I took delivery of a 2017 Honda NC750 today. I needed a workhorse and couldn't think of a more suitable bike.

Great review, I took the 400x out for a test and did like it but have to say I thought it was a little slow, maybe expected too much but always had a 600 and just think I would get bored with the 40hp as does not have the get up and go of other bikes, I’m testing the 400 this weekend I’m hoping the smaller rear sprocket and gearing make me think I could live with it, as really think they are both bargains and great looking bikes.

@@markpulling12 Hi Mark, The Scrambler was fun to ride. Comfortable, great handling on the bends, good riding position, super nippy through town traffic. Braking was good, overtaking from 50 to 70 mph was done with ease. I did find lots of vibration from around 60 mph which I expected as its a single but would have found very tiring/annoying on any reasonable long ride. So wasn't the bike for me.
@gorrdd4 ай бұрын
Thanks as always, Mark. The Scrambler 400 is 20 lbs heavier than the Speed 400. I viewed a review on both bikes together between two riders who swapped the bikes back and forth to compare notes. They both agreed that the Speed 400 was discernably the quicker of the two, but only slightly. Apparently, in this 400cc power range, 20 lbs can make a difference. It looks like the Scrambler exhaust is the biggest contributor to added weight and next after that is the 21" cast aluminum wheel. An after market exhaust should narrow the weight gap considerably.

Sorry mark but shouldn’t every review be on its own merit of that bike. Why is every review a comparison with the speed the two bikes are in different categories. The only comparison should be with other A2 license bikes 👍🏿

I'm with you, the ONLY common parts are the engine, clocks and tank. Yet all comparisons are with the speed....🙄

To be fair it is not really an off-road bike, it is more for the road. I think doing a comparison is what most people want.

@@hughphillips1427 do they ? The seat heights are different wheels are different sizes and he did a first ride on the speed. What we don’t get anymore is a review on the bike they are riding ( with the exception of mark ) A manufacturer put a bike out and all you get they should have added this or that on it. What we buy as a consumer is the bike they review saying it should have x y and z not going to change what we pay for in the shop. Just tell me how it rides 👍🏿
