    As an owner of scrambler400x , bike is awesome on highway and off road too…not meant for hard off roading but great on light trials. Under this segment this is the best option . 👍🏻

      That’s great feedback and good to hear you’re enjoying it! I think you’re right - it’s not a lightweight enduro because that’s not its purpose - most people just want to be able to take it on light trails and camping trips etc!

    Here, the bike cost around ₹254,596 + ₹50,000 for insurance and registration. (That's about 4600 AUD + 900 AUD).

    Thank you - really great review. Want to start riding again and had the usual suspects on my list ... all around 1000 and 1200 cc but I´m pretty sure I´m gonna upgrade the fun with downgrading the power with this beauty. 90 hp and 110 Nm is a lot to handle and what the 400X provides is certainly enough for most people.

    I finally had a chance to test one out at a demo event, and my god - what a solid, affordable , FUN bike!!
    I have a speed twin 900 and T120 Black. I thought about scamblerizing my T120, but after the test ride on this thing … nah, I’ll be trading the T120 in. The weight difference for off-roading is what won me over in the end.

    • @lifeofascrambler

    Great review! Looks like it's around 180kg wet weight so 50kg lighter than the 1200. This would make it much easier to manage if you do adventure off road a bit and much easier to pick up. Chuck some knobby tyres on this and it could be a lot of fun.

    • @lifeofascrambler

    For what it's worth, I bought a Speed 400, and my only regret is not waiting another month to get the Scrambler, lol. Both are completely valid for a first bike (like mine) or a fun bike, like my salesman, lmao.
    The only thing I've noticed about BOTH is the gearing IS very short. A 15 tooth ktm 390 front sprocket is direct replacement. A 16t could present physical problems without rerouting stuff.

    • @lifeofascrambler
      @lifeofascrambler  10 месяцев назад +2

      Felt good to me, the tyres are wide enough that I felt comfortable at higher speeds and we had a fair bit of gusty wind blowing us around too - some smaller bikes suffer from a very twitchy / unbalanced feeling at higher speeds but I thought the 400x was pretty good - not quite as good as my 1200 but still very manageable.

    • @michaelwhitehouse5659
      @michaelwhitehouse5659 6 месяцев назад +1

      That's what I'm wanting to know as well. I definitely think the 400x looks better, it's cheaper to buy, it comes stock with all of the cool ( cosmetic ) accessories skid plate, handguards etc. But the Honda has about a 2" lower seat height ( 31" ) which is important to me for comfort at 5'8" short. It has a long proven reliable, bulletproof engine with very long service intervals. The Trans is geared more usable as well as the engine producing focused low end/midrange power; as opposed to the 400x focus on top end power. The SCL500 already has tons of available aftermarket accessories available too. In Kentucky where I live there aren't even any 400x bikes available to even checkout in person, the local triumph dealer does carry the 400 speed in-stock tho ( which I don't want ). Both the orange and the green SCL are available at multiple dealers near me...I do believe I'm going to go with the SCL500. The 400x is truly a damn good looking bike in videos and pics tho! The nearest ones to me I could have delivered even are minimum of 400 miles away... + a healthy shipping fee! Also the Honda only weighs about 20 pounds more, but also has about 8 more horse power with a smoother riding twin cylinder. Anyway, there's my 2 cents on it lol 😂

    Do you like the gas handle reaction of this motorcycle? Also, do you think these dimensions will satisfy someone who uses the ktm duke200 series?

    • @lifeofascrambler
      @lifeofascrambler  10 месяцев назад +1

      Gday! Great question - I think you’re asking if I liked the handling - my answer is yes. As for the KTM duke 200 - It’s hard for me to guess if it’ll satisfy you because I don’t know what type of riding you’re doing! If you’re mostly on road, but want to do some offroad then yes I think you should try one!

      Buy one and you will find out. Mine was about 8 months old when I traded it on a GS 1250. It was not bad in the gravel roads but so detuned as would get to 120 kms per hour ok but then they start running out of breath. Never got past 155 on level road flat out. Thet put very small inlet ports that give good torque at low end but a danger to shipping if on a trip and what to pass a car etc on highway.

      Very nice review, thanx a lot!
      As a German driver, I ought to be speed-oriented. And my 22 year old Tiger 955i is still ok for that in todays traffic, if needs be. To be honest, most of the time I am going around with about 65 mph, rarely much more except on the Autobahn.
      On the later, about 140 km/h is a good speed to ride along.
      So, the 400 x, which I have ordered, is perfectly suited for my profile even here in „speedy“ Germany. It is not really a speedy bike. But going along the beautiful small country roads in northern and Central Europe is exactly the speed range of the 400x.
      Anyway, save riding on whatever bike wherever,
      J.

      @sanjaysharma-jf8fv not at all. There are many bikes that run 21" wheels and are still very good on the road. Being a 400cc baked bike you are not going to have any difficulty in flocking the bike around to your hearts content. The royal Enfield suffers from fram geometry that makes it feel heavy and cumbersome, not the tires fault.
