What are your thoughts on this motorcycle?
It's a great little bike. I love Triumph bikes , the quality is evident just by looking at them.
I have completed 10k KMs on this. Lucky to have this bike, can cross anything on this. Beautiful TR series engine, sounds soothing inside helmet, well balanced, great suspension and oh my my, there is alot to share.
I recently bought this bike (actually traded down from my Honda 750). It's really fun. Love it.
Not enough dealerships in the usa.
Bought one yesterday- pick it up Thursday. Looked at EVERYTHING in the sub-600cc range for my wife.
I'm 73, have owned the bigger machines for years, and just bought a Speed 400 (in red). Great machine. Plenty quick, great handling, comfortable ride, and very lightweight. It reminds me a lot of one of the second motorcycle I ever owned, which was a Honda 305 Superhawk. And I have really fond memories of that bike, which was only one size down from the biggest bike Honda sold at the time. There really is something to be said for bikes that are "just enough, but not too much". For commuting or just joy riding on country roads, it's hard to beat this Triumph.
All the bikes I owned and really loved were Triumph. Bikes with a soul, all of them sound fantastic.
I just bought myself a Triumph Speed 400 in black. Mine is being delivered in 2 weeks. It's my first bike since I passed my A2 test here in the UK and my first ever motorbike full stop.
I have been looking around and tested a number of machines since passing, including Royal Enfields 350 collection and thr Himaleyan.
However, the moment I pulled away from the dealer with this bike, I knew I was buying it. Similar to the Royal Enfields, it instils confidence. I never felt unsafe even when I opened the throttle a little. It felt stable and planted to the tarmac. Its power delivery is smooth and amazing.
Truly, what sold the triumph compared to the Royal Enfields was that extra bit of power. As a beginner rider, I found the enfields made me feel exposed, especially in faster moving traffic. I knew on the triumph. I have the power there to escape any dodgy situations.
Amazing machine
Glad you are enjoying it. A great choice!
Caspian Blue. A most truthful and balanced review! Thank you! This is straightforward, hitting on major points and not including A2, saree protector, nor Indian tires. Well DONE!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for posting. Ride safe.
Great review!! Rembo is very enthusiastic about this bike and with good reason. Had my 2024 Speed 400 delivered less than 2 weeks ago and I now have 200 miles on it. Am really loving the bike. Only two reviews mentioned gearing being a little short, but so far I am satisfied with gearing exactly as it is. I have a number of other bikes and I like them all so I could not bring myself to trade....... just bought one more. This is my 3rd Triumph. Total price OTD was $6154. FYI.....
Enjoy! That sounds like a more realistic outdoor pricing. Thank you for sharing with us.
Good man !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍 🇬🇧
This bike has a ton going for it. I own a Speed Triple 1050 and it’s savage power. I’d love to add this Thumper to the collection.
You think is enough power on high way for long distances like 2000 milles trip
Which is better and confortable the ktm rc .or the triump speed 400?????
Have had my Speed 400 since January (Australia). Terrific little bike in every aspect for the money. The only thing I would change is the shortish gearing, especially in 1st and 2nd.
Any ideas on a new sprocket?
You can have shorter gearing with scrambler's front sprocket I'm buying the scrambler truly an amazing bike.
I've ordered a 40 teeth rear sprocket for my Speed 400.. hopefully that can set right the gearing..
Subscribed, even though you're USMC 😅🙃 (Army paratrooper here - nothing but love!)
Why thank you!!
I wish the analog gauge was the Tachometer with the speedo digital.
I’ve never watched revs ever. Always feel when to change gear
Great video Rembo, been watching your videos on and off for about 2 1/2 years since I started thinking of buying a Multistrada V4S, I’ve had that bike just over 2 years and I absolutely love it, I’ve just done 1000 miles on it in 2 days in France. Test rode the Speed400 two weeks ago and now have one on order as a 2nd bike for running around on and some commuting during the summer months especially, I can’t wait for it to arrive within the next two weeks… keep up the good work and regards from England 🏴
Thanks for reaching out, Steven. I really appreciate you posting and letting me know.
Subscribed. Thank you 🙏🏻
Welcome aboard!
Good review. 👍
I've liked and subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Good review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like a great bike, great price, good all-rounder. We need some of that sunny weather here in the UK. Thanks for the review 👍
You bet. Have a great day.
Thanks for the review ! I’ve just ordered the Scrambler 400x 👍 🇬🇧
Good choice! I am hoping on getting to review one soon. All of them at the dealer were sold so I could not try one out.
It's got looks I like ..good job .
Thanks for letting us know. It is a good looking motorcycle.
Nice review. I think I'm convinced. A bike for anybody, anytime, anywhere. Yup. Safe riding.
Right on
Got mine ordered, loved seeing the sunshine, amazing how little traffic you have, must have been a Sunday morning.
It was actually a late Saturday morning.
@@RemboUSMC Not far off then. You are so lucky, in the UK it has been raining constantly for months, when the sun comes out, they Chemtrail it, and the roads are tiny and jam packed whenever we go out.
Mine (Red) is arriving any day now, thank you for the review.
Triumph does make an awesome red
Thanks for the review Rembo! Triumph here charges over $1,300 (plus tax & license but those are on all bikes) to build the bike...about double the amount for Kawi, Yam, Hon, Suzi, but similar to KTM/Husq. The premium upcharge, and less than enthusiastic sales people here will probably keep me from considering this bike, but I'm glad that 500 cc and below bikes seem to be getting more attention from manufactures again.
Thanks for the info!
This is a fantastic video on the Speed 400. I think they should have kept the name 'Street', but that's a minor detail. But you Sir, did a good job here. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers!
Thanks Andrew, I appreciate it.
Great video. I have a 1997 Honda CB750 Nighthawk.
It has lots of power and fun to ride. However; I don’t really ride fast and I am looking to downsize to a 500cc or smaller bike. This Speed 400 just might be the one a buy.
Thanks 🇺🇸
Je suis français je trouve ta video test tres bien .simole honnête efficace ✌️👍
Hey Rembo! I believe they call that blue color trim Caspian Blue. Thanks for sharing this review. It’s a great package!
Thanks for the info!
It’s good for multi-day trips as well not just day rides.
I love my "Scrambler"..fun bike for around the city and occasional short trips.
Interesting ... I own one in EU. I CAN start without clutch and there is a separate rocker-switch for DRL or normal light on the left where there is a space on yours. I love this bike, great value.
Thanks for the info
Thanks for the great review!!
It has everything I need to know. I have a bike that's 50kg heavier that this beauty and so I find that lugging it around in a small garage stops me riding it as much as I would like to. I've been looking for something smaller and lighter with enough grunt to enjoy zooming around. I hope you enjoyed the MotoGP. The sprint was pretty good. But Sunday's race was amazing! Stop watching it at your peril!! It was sad that Marquez fell. And my countryman, Brad Binder, lost his front and rear wings when Marquez touched him. So, he fell from 2nd on the log to 6th. But it was nice to see Maverick do so well for a change on the Aprilia. I've always thought that he's a great rider.
The 400 is a great fit for any rider. I still have to review the 400 scrambler yet. I was bummed about Marquez
Ah...my old office park in Pompano....
Those tank graphics are really good looking , they should be available on the Speed Twin 1200 too.
I feel your pain , literally, I have two ruptured discs in my back and two in my neck. I hope that you get better soon.
I hear you, 5 in the back and 2 in the neck myself. Ordered a black Speed 400 early February, June delivery here in Phuket Thailand (hopefully)
Beautiful bike, my last trumpet was a 70 Bonnie with the 4speed right side. Brakes? Yeah, but plan ahead... Good memories, this one may pull my retired butt back on the road. It looks too good not to check out. Thanks for the video.
Bought one to run around town on. Love it. We also have a Multistrada and MG Mandello, but I use the Triumph to run around town. Also, this bike does have traction control as part of its electronic safety items
Thanks for sharing!
Taking the delivery of my scrambler in first week of May. Amazing bikes Bajaj and Triumph have made.
Have fun
This bike is incredible.
What an excellent review ! As a UK resident (69 years young) I've ridden Bonnevilles , Norton Dominator etc, but I've been thinking about a Royal Enfield 350; all the comparative reviews in UK fail to mention whether that bike is capable of achieving/maintaining 70 mph-that's all I want- I just don't like huge lorry hauliers on my back bumper at 65 !Unless I'm mistaken you saw 95 mph on the gauge; Keep it up-and thanks.
Thank you for the kind words Mr. Jones.
Great review. I was not considering a 400cc bike but I am now. Especially when it is such a good looking bike that does look budget at all. Thanks
Good choice!
I grew up in the 70's when British bikes were on their way out. The British manufacturers sat on their hands with their 1930's technology engines for too long while Japan mowed them flat (cars and bikes) with OHC engines and reliable electronics at affordable prices. I'm glad to see Triumph using DOHC 4-valve engines. The bike is real good looking. For me the gold forks graphically don't fit and I'm not a fan of black wheels, they look heavy and unfinished. Still, a pretty machine.
I had a herniated disk about 18 years ago and it was incredibly painful, I can relate. No long lasting effects and I'm still able to ride (daily to work and back).
Japan subsidised the destruction of the British bike industry, so any Brit riding a jap bikes is a traitor to the core and should be spat upon
Hey Craig, thank you for sharing that information. I hope that you’re back stays in a state of happiness.
Good work Bajaj and Triumph. Great value for money. Good Mileage. Great fit and finish. Looking forward to buy the 400x scrambler.
Good choice
An honest review. I own it
The high beam was on all the test ride(blue light on the dash)also the bike had done less than 600 miles so still being run in ( as the rev counter flashes at 6000rpm)but you did 95mph!
I always ride during the day with my highbeams on for my safety. Yes, 95mph. Isn't that great!
멋진바이크... 한국에도 빨리 판매되길...
I'm halfway through break-in on mine. I've been riding since 1961, so... And I have a 27-ish inch inseam.
I bought it for those days when I just don't want to dig out 600+ pounds of Tiger Explorer 1200 for an afternoon's ride, and for that it's an absolute delight. Much better than I expected and even better than I had hoped.
I have installed a Dart flyscreen from the UK. Not enough wind protection to matter, but it does clean up the airflow nicely.
Plusses: a silly amount of power (surprised the hell out of me) and 60MPG. Very nimble and an absolute blast pottering down backroads in the 45-50 MPH range.
Minuses: The seat SUCKS. It's a 100 mile seat. I could probably do a tank at one sitting, but I wouldn't be happy. But then, I didn't buy it for distance riding - I have other bikes for that. The foot pegs are small and narrow - but I expect the aftermarket to step up - probably SW-Motech will take the lead.
Out the door cost (northern Virginia) was about $6,500. Quite happy overall and I have the faster red color. 😁
I'm jealous that you got the red. We were too slow and ended up missing the last red one by a day. We'll deal with the blue- which is still gorgeous.
I used to commute on a bike in northern VA... this would be a great bike for that.
@@GenXPertChannel Last Sunday over 211 (a couple of times) Sorry about the crappy music, but the wind noise was bad. I have an external mic for next time to pick up the lovely exhaust note. Camera was an Insta 360 Ace Pro. SO much better than GoPros.
ruclips.net/video/JFvoMOi3buc/видео.html
@@GenXPertChannel And I just put a Brogue tail tidy on mine. Looks a LOT cleaner and since I don't plan on riding it in the rain, no worries about messes.
Looks like a fun bike
thanks for the review; pricing here in northern CA is non-trivially higher; I'm still leaning towards the '24 Husq 401
Good choice!
Haha, I thought, heck it is struggling to even reach 100 kph then you mention miles 🎉. You mentioned quick shift a couple of times. One reviewer said he used the clutch a few times but mostly didn't and it was great.
This was at the top of my list, I have a new royal Enfield meteor 350, no good on freeways, highways, but I'm between speed 400 or Kawasaki eliminator 450
I totally agree! Great size, performance and style. Looking forward to having one!
Enjoy when you get it.
Thanks for providing the international measures as well for the non-american folks! I really appreciate that.
Any time!
A great little bike from Triumph & Bajaj India. Will definitely sell very well & give Royal Enfield a run for its money. 2 totally visually different bikes. But, along similar lines compared to the Hunter, not the Classic.
Hey Rembo, do you have a CFMoto dealer in your area? I hope you get a chance to test ride some of them? The 800 & 450 class of bikes.
I will see where the nearest CF Moto dealer is located and see if I can test ride.
@@RemboUSMC good man! Just to get perspective on an other foreign made products. Thanks 🫡
Amazing review, but just a note, to ride it here in india with its traffic, road conditions with its price point its just a great value for money! And the scrambler 400x is even better, just not as nimble as speed! Bajaj did a great job, and triumph ofcourse!
Yes, true
This bike came out along side the scrambler and I think they are relatively the same bike but the scrambler has a little bit more accuracy’s on it gives you a little extra
Caspian Blue
7k OTD in MI.
Great video, thanks. I was quoted 7k OTD ...a far cry from 5k. I didn't buy it so I don't know if they were done jacking the price. Great looking bike.
That is a bit pricey for out the door.
@@RemboUSMC Sure seems like it.
My dealer, Moto Forza in Escondido CA, just got his first two Speeds in today. I went in not expecting they would be available, but they were, and bought the blue one for delivery in a couple of days. Who is this bike for? It’s definitely for short older riders who want to graduate to a smaller, lighter ride. I’ll likely do some touring on it, along with local rides. It’s my 80th early birthday present to myself. 👍
It’s a great bike and like I said in the video, it’s for everyone
Down in El Cajon, was thinking of RE but looking at this one, need a wee bit more than my 125cc bao dai
How were the vibrations on the freeway?
Actually not bad at all and I was really pushing it as you can tell. I would just never sustain a speed like that for everyday riding.
But more fun to watch than a speedo.
Also with they would have added some attachment points on the swingarm for stand spools.
😂 The other day I was just imagining with you sitting on this bike how small it might appear. And bam you have this video. I am 6 ft tall and this bike felt like the first 125cc Bajaj Discover bike I had with a round head lamp. Puny! The Scrambler feels bigger though. You owning a KTM 390, it should be fun comparing both bikes as both come out from the same assembly line from here in Pune.
I really enjoyed riding the Speed 400.
Caspian Blue/ Storm grey.
How does it compare to the Svartpilen 401 ? ...pros vs cons?
I have absolutely no idea as of right now.
How would you compare it to the Honda Rebel 300? Thanks!
As a former Honda, rebel 300 owner, I can tell you that it is completely night and day. The triumph is a clear superior motorcycle.
@@RemboUSMC thank you, i appreciate the response. It’s also better looking in my taste
Thank you for first mentioning the maintenance interval (10,000 miles). So many reviews and that never happens. I’m the same height and inseam as you but have a few more pounds around the gut than you so you mentioning flat footing and seat comfort is a big plus for me. As far as the scrambler400x and this speed goes, I would say best to be honest with yourself about how much light off road your really going to do, higher seat, bigger front wheel, and if that’s worth the extra $600.00? From other reviews the speed is more road worthy and nimble than the Scrambler. Here’s another thing that leads me towards waiting for the used market. Yes the speed is $4995. but the dealers also on prep, shipping, , and all their stuff and a $5000. bike is now $7000. I understand tax and all but on a low priced bike getting a 20% mark-up is hard to swallow. Especially when you ride it off the curb and it depreciates instantly. This applies to other brands in this price range. It really is prohibitive and makes me want to wait for one to come up used.
Excellent thoughts. Thank you for posting. I agree, the extra $600 for the Scrambler is just not worth it.
👍🏼
Giggling about your pronunciation of aluminium! It should actually be pronounced the American way.... which is rare for us Brits to admit.😮 Anyway, a good review. Done 650 miles now on my Speed. It's superb and lovely to ride on British A and B roads mainly. Note - you don't need to depress the clutch to start up. I get 81 mpg average. That's imperial gallons. Only bad points; front mudguard- fender too short, so the radiator and tank get blathered in shite... Rear mudguard- fender... useless! You get crap thrown over the seat, jacket and helmet! So really needs an aftermarket mudguard. The 400 has a delicious sound, especially on the overun. Reckon I'll do loads of miles on mine.
Hey, thank you for sharing that information. Really appreciate it. Have yourself a great day Colin.
I will wait until next year and pick one up for $4,700, or less. Just can't do the $1k to 1.5k Stealership markup; destination, prep, bend over etc. etc...
Why it costs the same but in GBP in UK?
Triumph Tax /s
This was at the top of my list till Kawasaki revamped the ninja 400 making it a 451 stroker and there went that
Just wait for the aprilia 457. The deliveries just began in India exports will also start soon
@@nandadityaswami7452wont waste my money on aprillia
This bike proudly made in india🇮🇳
My big beef with this bike is it has an 85 (gps) mph top speed pegging the limiter in 6th. Triumph speedos tend to be much more optimistic than most (even Ducati)
Wow
Blue tank ?
Didn't know they offer blue, looks better than red
I love the blue color
A very neat-looking bike but not for over US$7,000 out-the-door. I MIGHT be inclined to keep an eye out for (lightly) used examples next year being sold for a huge discount.
Fair enough!
I think I've seen or read somewhere that the new 400 Triumph actually DONT need the clutch pulled in on startup.
That is not the case. If you look at the video, I did attempt to start it without the clutch pulled in, and it would not work. At least here in the United States it still won’t work.
@@RemboUSMC My bad. I think I must have either dreamt or hallucinated that one! Whatever, great video as always.
Deffo don't need to pull the clutch in on these bikes to start them. Not in UK anyway
ruclips.net/video/JOnAeoGSzFY/видео.htmlsi=InQmstSTID-1HboT
@@SJG1957 In EU clutch is not needed ... :)
@@HumphreyvanLee Strange one. I don't see the point in making US Triumphs needing the clutch engagement to start up yet other markets, not so.
it sux to be broke
Aluminuminuminum is more acceptable than a vowel that doesn’t exist
13:15 its so strange to me how everyone is occupying the right lanes. Don't you rather wanna be on the right so you dont have to go across when you take the exit?
I was looking to purchase this bike . I joined the forum, 🎉and there are just too many problems . Stalling and immobiliser issues. Shouldn't be like this .
In India it costs less than 3500 USD and thats including road tax and insurance….proudly made in india ❤️ 🇮🇳
We dont get the same tyres though
What tires do they come with?
@@RemboUSMCApollo H1 or MRF steel brace (both are W rated and made locally)
@RemboUSMC I think we also get heavier wheels (6kg heavier) as road conditions here in india is not always great
@@pctech4090 the vehicle is 9 kgs heavier (alloys + front number plate + saree guard)
Slightly different tuning of suspension to accommodate the extra weight
That's like buying a Duke 360 and actively asking for more expensive services. No thanks. Ah, and a very limited nationwide services center.
I like these bikes but I am reading about many issues people have been having with them. I would be so pissed to buy a new bike and have problems.
Did not hear that about them.
For sure it's a great looking bike, and everything on it looks (and probably feels) premium.
HOWEVER... what "kills" it for me is the price of all the addons and accessories. I'm in the EU and I've used the online configurator to add their tank pads, crashbar, comfort seat and the rack for a topcase (without the actual topcase). With all these stuff, the final price was 6750 EUROS, WITHOUT including VAT, which in most EU countries is around 20%.
Factoring VAT and converting to USD, the price comes down to a whooping 8630 dollars, which to me is INSANE. For this price, I can accessorize the F out of a Royal Enfield Himalayan450, or just get the VTwin Ducati Scrambler 400 and save about 1k euros.
Only makes sense without upgrades
You should say aluminum because that is how it is pronounced
Very nice bike!! But don't expect to spend just $4995. The dealer will tack on TT&L and a destination fee and a doc fee and a prep fee and any fee they can get away with to steal your money. That's how they make their paycheck, stealing it from your paycheck. This will be a $7000 bike by the time they get done with you.
Yes, of course, out the door prices are always different and very greatly by region and country
21-32 km/l depends how to ride 😁
We in Bharat get this bike for $2850 only because it is completely made in Bharat for Bharat and now for rest of the world and where I live in out 3 bldgs. society we have 2 of these and one of the scrambler all three in red and black combo.
I have the Trident 660 and it needed a warranty repair so had to keep it in the dealership and they gave me the Speed 400 as the loan bike.
I don't like the Speed 400 at all. Too short, the throttle is too twitchy, suspensions are too soft and it becomes hot like an oven in 30C weather.
Overall the bike looks cheap and runs like a cheap bike.
Sorry to hear that. It’s not a 660 triple. It’s a single cylinder that runs great like other singles.
@RemboUSMC thought it was a twin but anyway...
Honda crf50f is a beginners bike. Seriously, a Speed 400 is Not a beginners bike. How old were you when you learned to ride?
I was eight years old when I got my first bike, which was a 60 cc Benelli. By the time I was 11 I had a 125 cc bike. A 50 cc is not a beginner bike for an adult.
I love it... But I'm a shameless RE fanboy... I'll have to wait for the Scram 450 ... 😂
*Crap Game* 🎉
고속도로는 못 달리지만...
Nice advertisement
Yes, this bike certainly surprised me
Little over 6 grand out the door.
Thank you for sharing.
shame about that radiator
Goddddd stop talking
I appreciate your words. I thank you for watching the video and for posting your viewpoint. It’s quite amazing. How many people watch this video and enjoyed it. I am glad that you are one of them. You are welcome the entertainment that I provide to you and all of the good information that you are able to digest as you listen to the video. Being able to help people like you has been at the top of my list. Again, you are welcome. See you on the next video.
Don't said the price is low .or the company is going to put a higher price tag .....THINK?😮😮
