Well said, it drives me crazy when people say ‘this is a great beginner bike’. Such condescending bullshit. I’ve been riding for decades and I’d love the Speed 400.

You sound just like myself in regards motorcles. I've just purchased the Triumph 400 Speed 2025 model to tour around Australia (one of the largest continents on the planet). I've served with both British and Australian militarys, so for me its a way to get away from the PTSD and relax. I've ridden bikes for over 45 years and had bikes over 1000cc but the Speed 400 fitted just right for me at 66.

The 400s are lovely bikes. Thanks for the comment.

Absolutely loved the rant, so true. I can only afford one bike, limitations being, tax, insurance, space to keep it and the initial cost! Makes me lose my sh*t when I hear, "I'm not sure where this fits in my stable, if I were to add it to my collection?" Well, here's a news flash, if I add this to my stable I'm going to go hungry... 😂

It is nice. Personally, I prefer the green, but they're both very nice.

Dave in thinking of getting one of these the 400x in that red looks good and that what I’m looking at but I don’t want to rule out the speed 🙄🤔

I'd suggest taking both out for a spin. If you're any where near Oxford, give Steve a call at Oxford Triumph. He's super helpful and was kind enough to let us take these out with no hassle.

Speedos are optimistic. Usually around 10% from my experience.
