I always trust your reviews over others. To be honest, unless the exhaust note is glorious, I usually go straight to your review section. You are an excellent rider, not bought and paid for, and you clearly enjoy every bike but realize they are not all perfect. I hope you stay safe and keep doing what you are doing, my friend!
Thanks a lot, much appreciated. You can rely on my reviews being honest but always take in mind that I don't ride these bikes for much longer than 20 minutes in total. I'd love to go into more detail with my reviews but ain't nobody got time for that
Der Sound, ist aber gut ! Angenehm ruhig ! Nicht wie meine Z 400 , die bei U/min 12400 nur noch schreit = Km/h 187 max - Berg runter 😊. Nur meine Cb 650R , schreit noch mehr, nach noch mehr 😊! Gruss Thailand 1959.
its been 3 weeka ive bought this bike already done 1100km on it also first service is done, bike has become even more refined and its just a bliss to ride this bike, it takes the indian roads very nicely absolute value
Ive had the pleasure and got to test ride the speed 400. I own and ride a GSX-8S but man that little bike is so much fun in the corners. Thanks for the great video schaaf :)

Love reading your thoughts on the bikes you test. Honestly you’ve help weed out some of the bikes I’ve had my eye on. Would love to hear your take on the triumph bobber.
even if I am not very into singles anymore (wish they do a bi version of this) it is amazing what Bajaj has accomplished with Triumph's guidance, and Schaaf's sound will help sell more of these
Bro even inline engine vibrates this is 400 cc single still the sound is so good , we can't complain about vibrations here , even try highness cb 350 for lessor highway tourer top speed is less in speed to give more power it gears are like that
Awesome video as always. Love your vids and I am curious about your impressions of the Triumph Bobber - yes, I know the situation and explainations on how you get to ride the bikes on this channel. I am always impressed by Triumph. One of the rare manufacturers with a really good stock sound and overall performance/handling.. I went to different dealerships to compare and find my next bike; I have to admit that I left out the big 4 of the japanese bikes. Bought my Bobber after riding a Street Triple R 2012 for about 10 years. It's a blast to ride this thing. Don't know why, but Triumph is always touching my soul.
I was almost going to purchase this as my first bike but only because I felt cb300r is easier to handle, more refined and less prone to heat in very heavy traffic roads of Mumbai I went with Honda. Apart from that love this machine so much! Also your video of cb300r really helped me in my decision!
Good choice! I also went with the same🙌 Pro's: Well Balanced chassis Good low and midrange torque Lightweight Nimble flickable Shorter turning radius Con's: Poor headlight Higher set pillion footpegs Not much aftermarket accessories
@@prof.purpur yes I agree with all of your points! 💯 I did not test drive their Duke 250 because I was sure about going for the CB300R and the d390 was just out of budget for me. So anyways thanks for clarifying, appreciate it 🙌🏼
I removed my bar end mirrors and installed traditional mirrors, which I always put a bend in to make them lower and wider anyway. I'm much happier with the mirrors now.
Excellent video as always! To be honest, I'm jealous about those smooth as butter downshift of yours! How did you manage to perform such? Can you upload a tutorial for your technique? It would be wonderful since I'm still having struggle to rev match, sometimes the shift lever just won't move :(
@@Schaaf Just a simple question for the technique, do you downshift first before blipping the throttle or vice versa? I always blip my throttle first just before pushing the shift lever down, and it had some inconsistency moments :( Last night I saw the video from motocontrol and it said to downshift before throttle blipping, And I'm going to try that in the afternoon to see if it works better :D Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
@@Schaaf AHAHAHA to replace my actual Tuono 1100 v4 lol !!! I'm getting old and I need a slow bike to chill with my wife and his 650 ninja. the tuono is such a beast !
@@Schaaf True. I just wasn't expecting the 400 to be more like a cruiser in that respect. Then again, you ride like a demon! :) A skill level I'll likely never achieve.
Hey is the exhaust stock or aftermarket? Love how it sounds And curious enough to know how to make it sound this good Cause i also bought a triumph 400 recently.. Love you videos ❤
That looks pretty solid! Sound is good, finish looks typical Triumph, gearshifts and suspension seem good too - what more is there to ask? And I see your gloves are optimzed for touchscreen use :D
The 400X on the other hand sounds slightly beefier and has more bass I believe. Love it post 5k RPM on the corners. I made a POV video of it too from your inspiration!
Bin beide 400er gefahren und es sind mega geile dinger. Die Speed ist bestimmt das bessere Motorrad, aber die Scrambler ist irgend wie fast noch cooler. Mit 1,97 hatte ich bei einer 5h Tour keine Probleme und fande es sehr angenehm! (Auf der Speed)
I am really enjoying the beautiful machine that the Speed 400 is. My one and only grouse is the engine stalling at low speed (usually 2nd gear), that Bajaj has still not been able to resolve despite multiple ecu updates...
I've always been confused looking at this bike. I've been under the assumption it's a retro 390 duke (fast and sporty), but instead it's more like a single cylinder Enfield 650? I have the speed twin 1200 and V7 850. A lot of people ask me about the bike and I have no idea what to compare it to. I've also owned a meteor 350 for a bit. Can you help me narrow it down? Also, should confident newer riders just shoot for the Trident 660?
I was surprised myself because I also expected a sportier bike especially since the Speed 1200 definitely is very capable. Comparing this 400 to the 650 Enfields definitely makes sense. I'd classify it as a relaxed Retro bike. It's somewhere between RE Classic 350 and the RE Interceptor although the Triumph is way more agile than both REs. Regarding beginners: The Trident definitely is a beginner-friendly bike, a solid option to start. But still I'd recommend the 400 because it is even lighter and easier to move!
Hi...been watching watching you for a while after i came across your interceptor and clsssic asmr....just a request....because you are so good with skills and bring out max potential of bikes... Can you do RE Shotgun 650 ride. Just wish to see its true potential.
@Schaaf its okay. Maybe someday... Also i did learn things from your videos and trying to apply them on my shotgun. The only issue which i am facing is with rev matching...tried and failed....want to learn it but not founding content showing closely how to do it with steps practically
Would you say this is as agile as the new svartpilen 401? And do you think this engine can be the kind to be revved out for fun and still have a good time without feeling a lot of vibes?
klasse als triumphEine der harmonischte Bike am Markt rein optisch... Keine bietet mehr Qualitat im unter/mittel Klasse, als Triumph. Ich hoffe as ist so freudevoll zu fahren, wie es ausschaut, und quitscht :), was da mit dem Zeigenfinger passiert? :D
Bro you should see my tabs full of speed 400 reviews and then you post this. you must be some kind of mind reader. i've seen other comments with people having similar experiences LOL
Pardon the multiple questions but as someone who's tried the speed 400 and SV650, which one would you think is better in the long run? I'm thinking of saving up a bit more for an SV but the speed 400 seems good too!
I personally feel this bike is better than duke 390 do ya feel the same duke feels very twitchy but this bike is comparatively more stable on high speeds too
This is probably a stupid question but do you guys have the KTM 200 Duke in Europe? I personally think it's a good bike but the problem with that is that it has 24bhp so in Europe you need an A2 licence to drive it. I have no idea why KTM didn't make the 250 Duke available instead of the 200.

Love it.
Indeed!! Thanks
I just bought one of these, and I'm still looking forward to riding it on an open country road like this!

Did u find any issue with your cb 300r due to it's lower ground clearance 157mm in Mumbai or suburban areas?

I know Triumph is already selling a ton of these Speed 400 bikes. but if they put that engine in a Supermoto I think it would sell even more.

Hi bro, do you record in 'flat' colour profile on your go pro and colour correct it later?
Nope
What's that scratching sound while u r on curves❓ Is it your knee guard scratching or its the bike scratching ❓
Footpegs
@Schaaf would u recommend hard curving on this bike?
I'll be 45 this year, I could afford a bigger bike bit I am really considering this just for some fun (had a '98 monster 600 years ago)
You won't regret
Is this the stock exhaust sound? With mic close to the exhaust ??
Yes and yes
Looks like royal enfield interceptor little brother😊
Did the z/ninja 400/500 feel much faster and more lean?
No
Are these videos pre-recorded or are you still riding in Winter?
observe the scenery and take an educated guess

Does this clutchless shift easier by hand than the Himalyan Scram? 😂
The pegs seem to touch down early, though? 😅
Yes, definitely easier 😅 not very early, those lean angles were pretty decent actually
@Schaaf hard to tell from the camera footage, but i trust you on this. 👌
Smoothest bike i"ve rode this year :)
nice!!
Which mic do you used?
Description
Is it good for tall riders?
I don't know
@Schaaf atleast say what you feel about it🥲
How does it compare to Little Honda?
No idea, haven't been riding the CB for more than 5 years now I think
The only thing I dislike is how Triumph managed to make these almost 400lbs. Especially when the CB300R is almost 100lbs lighter...
Couldn't feel any of that weight to be honest
I personally feel this bike is better than duke 390 do ya feel the same duke feels very twitchy but this bike is comparatively more stable on high speeds too
The Duke is definitely more stable but reliability-wise I'd also trust Triumph more
Does it have quick shifter???... because i have noticed that your r not even engaging clutch to up shift??? AM i seeing wrong..
Nope
This is probably a stupid question but do you guys have the KTM 200 Duke in Europe?
