I don’t need one of these, but I’m glad they exist in the market. If I had a buddy who wanted to get his or her first road bike, I would definitely suggest they look at one of these.
I started riding in the 70's when a 400 wasn't considered "entry level" or a "girls bike", I'm not sure why that changed. The truth is these bikes are perfect for the riders of all ages and abilities unless you have specific needs like long distance highway touring etc. Who's driving 100mph oon public roads except hooligans anyway!
the thing is you always want some wiggle room at highway speed; to do quick passes (slow passes are DANGEROUS) and to deal with headwinds and long uphills. TLDR if your bike can't comfortably exceed highway speeds than it isn't highway safe. also 100mph indicated is probably about 93-95 in actuality.
@@eikonisefar more important are good brakes and quick steering. I’ve never once needed to exceed 90mph to avoid a car. If you do, you’re doing something wrong. MSF doesn’t recommend higher speeds as you indicated for a reason. More speed isn’t the solution.
Crazy to me that nobody seems to be talking about the huskies. Quicker, lighter, better equipped, more tech and cheaper (at least here in Australia). Looks are of course subjective but I think the svartpilen looks pretty damn cool too
@@jaydiggy86 The Husqvarnas are the elephant in the room, lol. The next gen 2024s are loaded with new features that are unheard of in their price range. I have a '22 Vitpilen, it's the apple of my eye. Cheers Jay, from the USA!
@@jaydiggy86 I can't shake the feeling that they (RUclipsrs) all signed some contract not to mention the Husky! Husky has a new LCD screen, adjustable suspension, quick-shifter up and down, more powerful engine, etc.
strange serendipity. I was looking at the Royal Enfield Hunter yesterday and saw it compared to this bike offhandedly. Today I looked up the prices at the local dealers and the Speed 400 is only $500 more but has way more on offer for performance. I realized that at the current price the bike's a steal, and then I saw your video in my recommends
I’m real impressed with Triumph. Got to tour the US MX compound and see the new 250 dirt bikes. Very cool setup they have here in Georgia. I’ve always liked the Bonnevilles and Scramblers but I really don’t want to spend as much as they cost for a new bike. So looks like I have a good excuse to spend $5k now
I am owning Speed 400 for couple of months now and here in India since RE is so common, this bike is a head turner... Anyone can agree on fit and finish as well as colour schemes. And ya, the suspension even though non adjustable, is tuned for India specific needs and it really absorbs bumps and undulations easily. Cannot say the sme for Western market setup. Its different. That's why Indian model is 6 kg heavier.
@@adamlanglois563i am getting 22-25km/litre. Convert it to mile/gallon, if thats the metric in your country. Some may get better mileage if they ride properly & on open roads. I commute in cities bumper to bumper traffic in delhi.
@@bellbottom3202 I'm in Canada so Km/l makes sense to me. That's pretty good on fuel. I'm sure the Speed and Scrambler Will do well here as long as they price them right. I love old bikes for raw power and connection with the machine and new ones for ease and efficiency. Thanks for responding
I’m waiting on my 400X. Just wondering when will the ship get here???? Dealer keeps saying it’s due to the backlog of the canal. As for why the Scram for me? I already have an America & a Storm. The Storm is for the twisty stuff😁
Sorry for the late reply, but I actually just started a job at a motorsports dealership. We sell everything at MSRP or even sometimes below, but mainly only on the Kawasaki models. I'm watching this video because I know absolutely nothing about motorcycles and I saw the Speed 400 in our showroom. I fell in love with the looks, can't wait to save up and buy one.
This is good and all but imma go with the new KTM Duke 390 2024 Gen3! Coz that bike is the 💣!!🔥🔥 Could you please do a review on that and compare that to this??
Tough decision on which one - I like the looks of the Speed 400 better, and it apparently handles better. But I'm 6'1", and it sounds like the Scrambler would be more comfortable... fortunately, I can't afford either one, even at those prices....
Mine would not start the first day that i got it. Got it to the shop and they i guess fixed it and now it is doing it all over again and it is back in the shop again. I made a video of what it is doing on my channel. I would turn the key to start and and got nothing, i would then turn it off and turn it back on and it would fire right up. It does this ALL THE TIME!!
Yes! I bought a 2022 RE Classic 350 used. Put some rear bags on it and love it in town. No, the power won't throw you off the seat, but you will be able to open the trottle wide open going up through the gears, smiling all the way to work, the store or a friend's house. Looking to add a Scrambler 400x next. Size, style, price and quality right on. Well done Triumph!
You won’t be able to find a lot of Speed or Scramblers 400… if people have not already put their money down (like with all the Scrambler 400 bikes at my dealership) they will buy them quickly off the floor… I predict that they will be sold out shortly… and for Triumph/Bajaj a huge success…
I want the triumph speed 400 so bad but in America, it goes from the misleading 4995 to the realistic out the door price of 7200 after including freight assembly and taxes.
Add $2000.00 dealer BS please. I understand the tax and registration fees, but an additional $1500 bs fees by “Powersport “ dealerships are the main reason why I don’t buy new.
Not another review same concrete background same twisty bend in the city same dirt road and same twisty roads all the same reviews as for the 400x well the kings new clothes 😂
Triumph must have invited every motorcycle journo under the sun to India to get them to say nice things about their new bikes. It does look like a good bike, but the indiscriminate gushing in every review is disconcerting. They sound more like advertisements than reviews. I will wait for these bikes to be put through their paces in the real world before making a decision.
@@makomadeira5799 do you care to explain? The point I was making is this engine came from the partnership between Bajaj and Triumph and there's another partnership between Bajaj and KTM. A new 399 cc engine was born of both the partnerships. Are the engines same? Yes. Check out the bore and stroke sizes of both the engines. They are exactly the same. So that means platform sharing, which happened through India's Bajaj, made these engines so cheap. Now you explain the slavery part.
Lol you really want to argue that Indians voluntarily taking jobs that pay more or are better jobs than their other options where the live is slavery? Guess they should not have job opportunities, so you can feel good. Typical socialist.
Good try by triumph i actually looked into them, as a 40 year old purchasing a bike again after 3 years with no bike , seasoned rider and dont plan on doinf any kind of touring like i use to but at 400cc and 1 cyl for the usa this is too Small To be serious, went rebel 500 maybe mext Time Triumph
Beautiful bikes but don’t treat the scrambler like a dirt bike or the swingarm will fail catastrophically. Stick to dirt roads or gravel nothing serious. I’m sure there’ll be an aftermarket upgrade or many upgrades but stock it’s not for serious off road.
I am thinking of hiring this guy to manage my stock portfolio--he can see the future perfectly and i bet he doesnt even own a 400X like me@@marcoluoma3770
Not directly comparable except for engine size. Triumph and Husqvarna/KTM are marketing to different customers. I’m interested in these, but would never cross shop it with either of those.
People need to stop, these ride like 125’s with a little bit more powerful engine, and I can see the local demo bike already has signs of rust. I sell them for a living… I can’t believe how many people want them. 🤦🏻♂️

Kudo's to Triumph/Bajaj for designing a motorcycle that looks like a motorcycle, not an insect.
Orange insect
I love my insect 1200XC
Funnily enough. Bajaj also manufacturers the 250 and 390 orange insect.
As far as the design is concerned I don't think Bajaj was really 1:25 involved
Making it to a set price..that's Bajajs role here
I hope y'all know that those orange insects could out smoke this on any given day of the week and twice on the weekends right?? 😂

In india,
speed 400 - $2800
Scrambler 400x - $3180
😊🎉
it's manufactured here, defintely going to be cheaper
In Australia, we call the inflated prices we pay, "Australia Tax".
In The Netherlands 7700 and 8200usd
Looks like rear preload adjustment, not sure why Justin said non adjustable full stop.
400x with a 15tooth sprocket. And its amazing. After fitting it the bike is a dream.
Scrambler front wheel is 19” not 21”
Thank you for the review i was torn between the two for my daughter. Nailed it- speed 400 👍

That's a pretty nice dash/speedo for a 5k bike. I've seen more expensive bikes with less than lackluster dash/speedos
How much extra cost are the Stealerships adding to that $4,995, and $5,595? $1,000, $1,500 $1,800. Anybody know?

Add dyno charts, too.
Great stuff! Super great value. Many thanks.
Need a dyno test for both these triumph's.
This chassis with a 650 twin would be the ticket for sure.
Someone please convince Triumph to make a Scrambler 400 XE with 21"/18" wheels and 8" of suspension travel.
That’s actually a great idea, would make for a great up spec edition. Especially if they can’t make it a little lighter!
Tough decision on which one - I like the looks of the Speed 400 better, and it apparently handles better. But I'm 6'1", and it sounds like the Scrambler would be more comfortable... fortunately, I can't afford either one, even at those prices....
Nice video summarising both bikes! ❤
Compared against the Honda CB300R, which is nicer?
Excellent question, the CB is a LOT lighter, I wonder how they perform head to head.
Would you take this over the Honda SCL500?
Love how people just assume there’s no taxes, prep and other dealer fees.

I wish they uses a 270 P twin instead of a single.
These bikes are built to a cost targeting developing markets mainly India.
In India,
speed 400 - $2800
Scrambler 400x - $3180
They already have lots of parallel twins, different market segment.
Best value in motorcycling?: YES. I would add Royal Enfield bikes.

@@daveminer9217 Those 350/400 cc bikes are the most reasonable and best value choices
I bought a new 2020 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. Price list $5,995. After tag,taxes and fees. $7,200. Buy used is now my motto.
The dealer mark ups in this price point always make them unattractive to me. Nice bike but personally I’ll wait for it in the used market….
Or get a CB500X used ..
No markup for me. $795 delivery fee, not unexpected.
You won’t be able to find a lot of Speed or Scramblers 400… if people have not already put their money down (like with all the Scrambler 400 bikes at my dealership) they will buy them quickly off the floor… I predict that they will be sold out shortly… and for Triumph/Bajaj a huge success…
Yeah but that's true for almost all bikes now .
Was at my Triumph dealer yesterday, and they had several, and were anxious to sell me one. Only my bank balance prevented me....
