If it wasn’t for owning a lovely Yamaha SRX600 single, I’d be tempted, but the little Yam’, with its deltabox frame and Brembo callipers simply is a must keep classic.

Very good review, I’m one of those bikers with many miles onboard and the day to day is now a bit heavy, now sold on one of these!

Thank you for this great review. The first one of yours I have watched. Since it is one of the best ones I have ever seen on YT, I have instantly subscribed to your channel. For me the Honda CL500 is the main competitor for the 400 Scrambler version.

I’m so tempted as a second bike and since my lady said I should do it when she saw it yesterday, I just might.

Hi Graeme. Looks a really good package for the price. A recent bout of illness means downsizing for me so Ive ordered one. Regards to Rachel. Pity about the lack of communication, but thats life I suppose!

Another good review, thanks. Yeah, if you turned the light switch on the left hand side from DRL to dipped beam, the display dims. 👍

@Geordiebiketester 11 ай бұрын

Cheers we know that now. Mind you if you flick the switch the lamp symbol goes off so you think your turning stuff down.. Dave service dude at Triumph Newcastle showed me the error of my ways when we returned it.

@@Geordiebiketester Thank you for that. Have a six month old Honda SH350i scooter, because was having difficulty getting on and off my Himalayan. Went to Portugal on it last August. OK but not great in the mountains. Wphone the Triumph dealer in Aberdeen tomorrow. Will take a two grand hit to swop.

@tomellis4750 11 ай бұрын

Had a test ride yesterday. Thought it very good. Lovely clutch and gearbox. Handles well, good riding position. Good for touring, economical and fast enough for my age. No buzz at 70mph. If can get a decent price for my present scooter, will go for one. @@doylegaines1319

@@doylegaines1319 hi in August that’s all we could do. Triumph knew the bike was going to be a hit so yes started early building the want by lending dealers bikes but no keys so yes walk rounds was all we can do. But now I have ridden it yes it’s mega bike lovely to ride well built so it’s a brill bike.

First of all, thank you for this review on the Speed 400. I've been debating between the Speed 400 and rhe Speed Twin 900. I like them both, but I think the 400 wins on looks and for five grand how could I go wrong? My main concern is I usually ride two up with my wife, right now she can't ride due to serious health issues, but if she is ever able to ride again I wonder if the Speed 400 is large enough? I know it has 40 bhp and that's enough for the kind of riding we do. But I wonder if it is physically large enough to carry me at 180 lbs. and her at 130 lbs. We are not large people but I want enough room so both of us will be comfortable. What do you think? Should I buy the 400 because I like the looks better and the price is about half of the 900? Or should I dig a little deeper in my pocker and go for the 900?

@@genegoodwin8925 bigger bike always better when riding with a pillion. Bikes is more roomy and bigger engine just better for pulling 2 less graft on the motor means it’s a lot less stress on the motor and you.

As a beginner, would you recommend speed 400 or a few years old Suzuki sv650 for the same price?

@Geordiebiketester 4 ай бұрын

@@flesz_ as a beginner the 400 is spot on but as your skills grow you will need more grunt. I have sold bikes for over 35 years so I think I have a good insight. The little bikes are great for all the stuff like getting the hang of bikes putting them in the garage squeezing them in the shed. Parking nose down towards the kerb hauling it back up from there. All the bits I call living with a bike but once you master that you move up a bit. The down side to a SV is it’s V twin lump,if your in the wrong guy it will tell you but once it clicks and you keep it in the sweet spot it makes you a better ride. I know this as Rachael had one as her first bike and it taught her lots about correct gears out of corners. Hope this helps.

@flesz_ 4 ай бұрын

@@Geordiebiketester thanks for the input. I'll take a test ride and most likely get speed 400 as I like the way it looks and the insurance is cheaper than the rest of the bigger bikes.
