I live over here in Scotland and im a proud Royal Enfield Classic 350 owner. I love my little slice of India. 😃 You live in such a vibrant, beautiful spirited country and only Royal Enfield can capture that indian essence and build it into a motorcycle. This Triumph is a marketing exercise because theyve seen how well the small capacity bike segment is performing globally and want a slice of it, but the bike will have no soul.

[@wikedbeast]

Loved the way you defined the both ends of the spectrum. RE to KTM, and how Triumph is kind of in between. Its a good bike, but I think it will be foolish to not wait for the scrambler, and then take the decision. When is the HD review coming out?

[@prabankumarbasumatary7809]

[@keshavsakthi546]

I dont think that will be the case. The 390 at launch was 2 Lakhs and most of the chapri riders werent buying the 390 but the 200 which was selling for like 1.5 lakhs. Today you see fewer duke 200 on the road since its more than 2 lakhs. This will be sub 2.7-2.8 onroad which puts it out of reach for a lot of ppl

I absolutely agree with you 💯 persent about the analogue speedometer. They should have provided the digital speedo and analogue rpm meter, in fact that's the only thing that I truly didn't like about the speed 400. The meter console in general looks really appealing. A digital speedo to me is way more practical as it is more aesthetic and accurate.

Analogue speedometer is there because of classic look and appereance Triumph have analogue speedometer into there existing premium bikes as well And We love all it

[@kazaukesuzuki]

@Jehan how are you saying this speed 400 as a retro bike???? I had not expected such from you. Clearly its a neo retro by the looks. 1) Suspension is monoshock which is not a trait of a retro bike 2) The chassis(backpart) is so up like that of an R15 from the angle I have seen in this video. 3) Where is the grunt in the exhaust note its sounds so puny which is again not a trait of a retro bike. I could bring up air cooled and liquid cooled engine into this topic but that can be brushed away coz of heat produced and also Triumph does justice to the retro looks by showing details of air cooled fins on the engine.......... but the carburetor looks of the FI thats not there sadly in this speed 400.

Surely it looks more premium than its rivals, liquid cooling is the cherry on top, that too from triumph makes it even more appealing. What many people dont understand is its not always about the numbers and fit, finish, when it comes down to personal choice, I would say, go for the one that makes you feel satisfied, be it Classic 350 or hunter or dominar or this one or any other one, go for the one that makes you feel you are riding something that you liked or always wanted to. People who are confused, should test ride all of the segment bikes then make a decision. Eagerly waiting for scrambler review though!, would love to see India making a shift in motorcycle taste to some new platforms just like KTM did, who knows scramblers would be the preferred choice in the coming future for many of us.

[@zigwheels]

Which one would you go for?

[@rahulmandrai]

@@zigwheels personally I would go for Harley or scrambler 400, given this sub 3 Lakh category. They look more fresh and exhaust seems pretty good in Harley, scrambler because I would like to know how that feels. If R3 comes under 3.5 lakh ohh man!! that would be something to watch for! 👀

[@dheerajvanamala]

What RE nails is that their engines have a character of their own. And these other manufacturers instead of making their engines have more character, just try to copy what RE is doing in terms of design to capture that segment instead of focusing more on their engines I wish triumph had some more stroke on their 400 engines. That would have been a perfect bang on in terms of their heritage of having a retro bike with so much pull and grunt as speed twins are all about the torque more than power. And coming to vibrations in the engines in general, the low frequency vibes just add to the character of the engine. That's what RE engines have right. But the high frequency buzz on KTM's is what makes them so irritating sometimes. Low frequency vibrations are good in some cases. At least in case of triumph as these 400's are roadster and scrambler not a street naked. Could you please confirm the type of vibrations on these baby triumphs? are they low frequency ones or the annoying high frequency ones as on KTM's just add to the character of the engine
