2024 Triumph Speed 400 plays with the BIG BIKES

[@smibru]

The guy on the Yamaha XSR rides how I ride, never crossing the centerline! I enjoyed every corner on this video, it reminded me of my time in Japan!

[@fizzyridertoo]

Just goes to prove the old adage that it's not about what you ride, it's about how you ride it. That was sublime and probably the best video I've seen yet for reasons to buy a Speed 400.

[@nigelscott3046]

I was gonna say that 👍🏻

[@roadrunner2757]

Lol, check my Spiti ride where i have ridden this bike on 14000ft altitude

I live in Corsica and i ride a Speed 400. After a few bigs bikes i found my 18 birthday 40 years later with this little Triumph!

[@btgmoto]

It's such a great bike, and in Corsica it's even better. Can't wait for my next visit!

[@Nucklehead-mm9gf]

Im literally considering trading in my Harley for this or the Trident 660. This speed 400 is just so appealing to me. I just want something more lightweight and not so serious. This 400 has alot of character!

[@nockianlifter661]

More fun going quick on a slow bike, than slow on a quick bike. My little Fantic 500 is exactly the same and the 19” wheel allows me to tackle some byways as long as they aren’t too technical. These little singles are pure fun on any tight, twisty road. I have the Tuono 660 for longer rides where there’s some motorway, it’s fantastic fun, but I’d rather be on the Fantic 80% of the time.

[@dennisarther7576]

Absolutely agree with you with your first sentence

[@nigel8499]

Beautiful motorcycle, hope it sells well for Triumph.

[@CampbellZeroOne]

Wow! I'd need to ride that mountain road at least twice. The first time to take in the views and the 2nd to pay attention to and enjoy the road. The 400 reminds me a lot of my Svartpilen 401. It's great fun and sounds fantastic blatting from corner to corner on twisty back roads. Corsica looks bloody beautiful! Thanks Dale 👍🏻

[@btgmoto]

Absolutely. I could ride these roads all day. We are here until Saturday, so lots of opportunities to ride all these roads twice!

[@nickrider5220]

Corsica is so beautiful and quiet in the mountains, this makes me wish I were there !

[@atulyaaman7320]

Amazing video man! As a Speed 400 owner, I wish I had roads like these where I live.

[@leeinwis]

Be thankful you have a speed twin , people in China are starving young man !

[@bobz1736]

Great video sir 👍 I love watching your riding - fast, controlled, good use of the whole road and safe 😃

[@btgmoto]

Thanks ✌️I actually made a huge and dangerous mistake, where I cut the corner on a left curve. I thought I had 'cleared' it, but actually I had not. Could have been deadly if a car was coming in that moment. I left it in the final cut because it's a good talking point and mistakes are there to be learned from

[@thatchh1]

Using the whole road is not very safe.

[@ScORTED]

I'm only halfway through the video and I'm sad not to be there! looks epic

[@mister-Dynand]

What an adventure! Beautiful set up video as always. And man those roads! 😍

[@btgmoto]

You'd love it! Also, I was thinking your KLE would actually have been great here too

[@mjordan812]

What are you using for a mic and its placement? Love the way that you're getting the exhaust note without wind noise. I recently bought a Speed 400 for those days when I just don't want to dig out 600 lbs of Adv Tourer (Tiger Explorer or Guzzi V85TT). Probably the best $5K that I've spent in a long while. The bike is an absolute hoot. Riding since 1961 and just turned 79.

[@volt8684]

I agree with you the 33buprestriction wasn’t enough. My old cb500s in the 70s/80s were approx 50 bhp. The were ridden at some speeds when the roads were delightfully empty. My cb750 only had 70bhp and I thought that was the fastest road bike on the planet until the z900😂. My v strom650 70bhp is all the bike I need on the road. Corsica and Sicily are gorgeous imo. I hope triumph steal some glory from the hype of non stop RE vlogs. As a lanky 6’1” I find these small bikes to cramped for my stiff ageing body but love the smaller capacity thrash and lightness. Only found your channel recently, absolutely superb.

[@mikefordham6546]

Such a beautiful place, you are living the dream lucky bugger lol .

[@THE_SNAPP]

What an incredible video...fan-friggin'-tastic! New subscriber now. Cany wait to see part two and to catch up on other videos. Greetings from Utah, USA.

[@KevMk3]

God I miss Corsica after going every year for our family holidays for over 15 years i need to go back.

[@si1208]

Excellent on-board. Good bike choice. Corsica is on my to-do list.

[@btgmoto]

Thanks very much! Corsica is really incredible. At this time of the year, there's virtually no traffic in the mountains, and the snow is mostly gone. And thanks for the sub!

[@SteveChippyPaine]

As a town-and-eifel bike, this is a great choice. Incredible value. Can you fully disable ABS and TC?

[@arijitbhadra1914]

no only TC. and turns back on everytime u turn off ignition

[@zorualegend]

Amazing video!

[@paulelverstone8677]

Back in the day I had a little Bandit 400. 60 brake, twin discs, grey import and I thought that it was all the bike you'd ever need for the road. Sold it to get my VFR750 but returned to the grey market a few years later for the NC30 and I thought again; this is all the bike you need. Fast forward nearly 30yrs and every bugger and their dog is introducing 400's now...

[@btgmoto]

I really love the new generation of 48hp bikes. I was in the generation of 33hp restrictions for my first 2 years, and it wasn't enough. Most people I know derestricted them in the first few days. Now we have a whole generation who will enjoy bikes engineered to perform with this adequate, but not exotic, level of performance. It's a great trend

[@guymathew1520]

My first bike was a Bandit 400! It felt fast enough to a 21 year old. Revved to nearly 13,000rpm. Definitely looking at sub-500cc again for a commuter/back lane bike. I was in Corsica last summer - the roads are great and they look so quiet compared to peak season when they're littered with camper vans which are hard to overtake on the narrow mountain sections.

[@krazokid19]

I like your style! This bike is perfect for wanting a spirited pace. I like that because you can still take in the nice views but not go so fast you lose out on the visuals.

[@btgmoto]

Very true! And thanks 🫡

[@babyhippo-zk1wq]

does this come with a quickshifter?

[@flesz_]

I feel like you would ride it more relaxed without peer pressure

[@btgmoto]

Probably, but it wouldn't be so much fun!

[@NoFrictionZone]

Nice to see you keep up with a 900 on a 400. I'm hoping to get the speed 400, looks awesome. I currently ride a BV 400 and my buddy is on a Bonnie. We do a few long trips a year, except I'm always leading. 😎

[@btgmoto]

It's definitely easier on the downhill sections tho! ;)

[@aluisious]

Aren't the lines on the road meant to separate your side from the other side?

[@Skaajned]

This is the best sounding version of a Speed 400 I have heard. Any details of the baffler removal you can share? Or is this a custom baffler insert?

[@btgmoto]

Totally stock exhaust!

[@warrennorton6519]

Great video! Just wondering the rear being a 60 profile tire, I’m assuming it would be difficult to get rid of the chicken strips? Haha

[@ognjennikolic1384]

Does this bike have a slipper clutch?

[@maurobertaccini5153]

si

[@andydutton1566]

Omg I am Uber jealous! I wanna bring my MT10 and ride Corsica with you...where do I find details of your tours Dale?

[@leeinwis]

A MT10 is too powerful for you.

[@andydutton1566]

@@leeinwis 😂😂 nonce

[@MichaelZuzolo]

@@leeinwislikewise. A 50cc Vespa is too much for you

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Why would Max want to go faster? I’d want to soak in the scenery and just chug up there casually. Is that the stock exhaust?

[@richarddevaottien7724]

👍 Because he is a total wan##r

[@bbqR0ADK1LL]

@btgmoto Wow, that scenery is amazing! What do you think of the Speed 400, having spent some more time on it? I'm strongly considering it as a first motorcycle, but I'm also tempted by all the technology features of the 2024 Svartpilen 401 (I've test ridden last year's model, but not the new one).

[@btgmoto]

Feature-wise, the Husq is superior for sure. But the feel of the Triumph, and the style, might be enough. I don't wanna commit til I've ridden a Svart for 2000kms too

[@DjRaulio]

What did you do to the exhaust that sounds so awesome??? Please share

[@btgmoto]

Standard Akra, but baffles removed.

[@stevenbikes1936]

​@@btgmoto is it an Akra exhaust? By looking on your video, it looks stock exhaust. Sounds different vs stock

[@pkaramer]

Breaking in speeds,intrresting roads tho..

[@mike_kokuz17]

Is this the stock exhaust?

[@btgmoto]

Yep, 100% stock bike

[@warrennorton6519]

Oh, and you’re up shifting clutchless. Not bad for the gear box?

[@vicavirosenzweig418]

Why is there no traffic on that road?

[@leeinwis]

They're all here in my city, on the road 24/7

[@ononmonko4835]

I had to pause watching your video in order to post my question - what is that cable on the right side of the motorcycle?

[@btgmoto]

It's a power cable that I forgot to plug in to the phone

[@markusthedrummer8143]

4:47 Whoa!

[@BiglumpADV]

My word that's some brilliant roads, and the view was amazing!

[@davexs]

Enjoyed, by the looks the 400 might stack up to the KTM 390.

[@btgmoto]

It's really smooth and torquey compared to the old 390. Not tried the all-new 399cc 390 tho' (and thanks for the sub!)

[@davexs]

@@btgmoto Thanks for the reply. Smooth and torquey is what I like and corners!!!

[@WelcomeToDaneland]

I think I've decided I'll watch you ride the awesome roads as opposed to learning(actually getting licenced) to ride and coming along. Let me know if you need a van driver though 😝

[@jensnoeske]

That day was epic👌🏻

[@btgmoto]

It certainly was! Thanks for coming!

[@ice2642]

Para um piloto bom não precisa mais do que estes 400cc, muitas vezes nas curvas você poderia ter ultrapassado o da frente, na reta não, por isso disse que para piloto bom, essa moto já tem diversão suficiente, sem ter que gastar muita gasolina ou ter muito peso para manobrar. Bom vídeo, muito legal. Pilote com segurança e bons ventos.

[@btgmoto]

Si

[@richarddevaottien7724]

Don't invite that shoe off Max, again. 🥶

[@btgmoto]

Ahh he's OK, just enthusiatic! ;)

[@leeinwis]

...pigs ! lol , well that took me off guard 😄.

[@spontaneousme3493]

I'm buying one probably on November or December

[@elgar6743]

Nice vid. Cool bike. Nice place. As a very long time street rider and track day rider...your riding on the street and using both lanes was rather jarring for me to witness...no reason to ever ride like that on public roads and especially no need to ride like that at the speeds you were traveling. I'm sure that you know better than that...seriously.

[@aluisious]

No road on Corsica is remotely close to 2000 meters. Name the road to prove me wrong.

[@btgmoto]

Sorry it was 1400-1500, the peak on the map was over 2000, which is what I'd seen on the map earlier

[@davepanting8409]

If you could actually ride, you wouldn't need to cut across the centre line & stick to your lane. Go back to the highway till you get some skills

[@brianlittle1132]

What a stupid statement! An advanced rider rides like that. Especially being 2nd as you know there is nothing coming. Smooth, Smooth, smooth. No over braking. Well ridden!!! My scrambler should be here in March and can't wait.

[@oldhairpin]

Looks rubbish Dale and all that traffic must have been a big disappointment
