i like it alot. i'm glad you got to ride one. I think you are one of my favorite reviewers for bikes like this. (i'm in the US, everyone wants a big one)
A few months ago I commented on this video about deciding whether to get this bike.. Oh well, I got it about a week ago and I'm having fun so far. Riding it late at night in highway to avoid checkpoints and do some break in, coz you know haven't had my ORCR yet. Pretty much enjoyable and capable bike.
Revzilla took it to the highest motorable road, and it survived the trip! Well, the second generation husqvarna 401s will be a close competition than the gen 1s.
@@tombombadilofficial the Scrambler 400x would probably be the right pick for such a ride with it's higher gc, long travel suspension, 19 inch front wheel and mild steel (more malleable) components instead of forged aluminium.
I'm hoping you will review Kawasaki Eliminator 400/450/500 as well as CFMOTO 450 cl-c. Neither are retro-style but similarly displaced CCs and price point.
Regarding the competition, the updated Husky 401 would be a close competitor since it is larger then the previous gen. But that Duke 390 engine is more suited to spirited riding compared to the Triumph. You'll need to rev the Husky to get to the power, while the Triumph delivers 80% torque from 3k rpm. Also, RE has started testing the Hunter with the Sherpa 450 engine from the new Himalayan. This would be on par with the Speed 400 in terms of power and probably be its main rival.
Currently looking for my first big bike and after watching your review on speed 400 im starting to love it. Do you recommend speed 400 to beginners as their first bike? Great video and review! Ride safe!
Will be getting one in July... Been looking forward to this one... 2 bikes I considered, the coming 2024 KTM Duke 390 or This one... I was surprised by the price, looks like it'll be the speed 400... Only thing that'll change my mind if Yamaha comes up with a 300cc or 400cc version of the XSR 150... I was really hoping they place the MT03 engine in a XSR 150 frame...
Agree about the XSR 155 format with the MT03 engine. I would have bought that in an instant. Instead, I am in the queue to purchase a Speed 400 in March.
This bike is gonna be a winner just like you said. not only does it have tracktion control but it has those Rossi diablo tires,,, great tires , i have them on my Ducati Urban Motard and love them. I,m thing of adding this speed 400 for local commutes, cheers good video.
My first comment is about the high gearing. Some reviewers have mentioned this and I found it to be true when I test-drove a 400 today. the sudden surge of power taking off in 1st gear and the shift to second. No problem like that with my RE 350. It is smooth and gives me the feeling of being in control. The Triumph is jerky in acceleration. None of the reviewers, and only one commentor that I have seen so far has mentioned the possibility of acquiring a lower-ratio rear sprocket to smooth out the acceleration and also to allow the engine to run at lower rpm's at highway speed. Secondly about the maintenance period. The fact that Triumph recommends 10,000 Km. between maintenance check-ups does not tell me their bike is better. It could be that Triumph stock-holders want to save money where they can and increase profits without regard to the potential harm that could befall the customers who put their faith in the company.. For myself, if I decide to go with the Triumph I will certainly get the oil changed more often than 10,000 km and have the chain tension checked and the tire pressure set to factory standards more often than that. Any engine is going to have metal wearing off of the rings during the first couple hundred miles and the brakes have to set in and if there are flaws in the tires they should be found out sooner rather than later. It doesn't matter that you have a nice red paint job if the engine seizes up or the cut-out switch activates itself at some critical time.
Triumph has a gift in making bikes where the numbers eg power. toque are lower than some but at the same time more useable in the real world . Great review by the way
True Honda has a .0983, and the Triumph has a .105. But adding a rider slowly increases the difference as the rider gets heavier, which is a real world comparison.
it is an amazing bike to ride in the city and to go on a highway rides and sits at 80 to 100 kmph comfortably it feels like it is made for Indian roads
I watch your reviews from Canada and love your reviews. What's the recommended fuel for these? I guess these need premium fuel in North America with that so high compression ratio and it's a very bad point for these nice Triumph 400s!
I'm planning to get Yamaha xsr 155 in April. I already set my mind to that bike but boy speed 400 made me think twice. It's about 300k in the Ph vs 182k xsr 155. There's not much difference in price and speed 400 is expressway legal and the fuel consumption is actually fair for this bike that you can use it for everyday ride. I don't know about how the maintenance would cost though, because xsr 155 is such cheap bike to maintain. Damn this this is difficult.
Félicitations pour votre essai, vous êtes très professionnel bravo , vous avez tout dit sur la Speed 400, je viens de la commander en rouge ! Bonne route Dominique de France
I see some people modifying the 400x with a 15 sprocket gear instead of 14 and they say it makes it way better, could that be something that could be done to the speed 400 also?
Yes, I have upgraded on 16 T, bought the bike on friday, went on the highway, and you have in each gear +5mph, compared to stock...alsi installade heat grips and the handguards from the scrambler...dope
Manufacturers build-in speedo errors so they don't have speeding fines liability. There's products that will correct that if they make it for your model. One I can think of is Speedo Healer. They work well.
ano po experience difference po pag mag upgrade ng speed 400 from xsr 155? beginner rider po, first bike ko yung xsr 155 ko. 1yr palang nag m-motor. Ty
First you have to know your requirements if you love touring then scrambler must be your first choice if you only want to travel around the city then speed has to be in your choice list
the CFmoto 450 bikes are really strong, and...ahemmm...maybe better than this single-cylinder. Aren't twins "smoother", comparatively?!!??? good reviews, tanx!
@398cc it's not considered a "big bike" in Thailand so no special license needed. Expecting mine in March. Royal Enfields are garbage, a 20HP 350cc engine...555.
@@the_winged_helm The only RE I would ever begin to consider is a used Interceptor. And only if I was expecting to do a tremendous amount of long range riding. The bigger engine Interceptor running at lower RPM would be suitable for that. The seat would have to be changed 1st, adding to the cost.
@@molonlabe9602 yeah, I like the Interceptor too. Not practical for my usage which consists of 98% traffic congestion infested city commute, so opted for the Speed 400 instead. But the RE 650 engine is really good for relaxed cruising. I only mentioned the upcoming Hunter since you were talking about the RE 350 engine.
that's a stretch to say everything is from ground up considering that the engine's highly similar to that of ktm 390's, they're basically siblings with different fathers (their brands) 😂
The engines are very different between the Triumph 400s and the KTM 390s. The Triumph has 80% torque available from 3k rpm. It is smooth till 6k rpm, then starts getting vibey. The KTM starts delivering torque post 5k rpm, below which it has vibes. Post 6k rpm, it is smooth. The Triumph delivers power linearly while the KTM has more peaky power delivery which is suited for more spirited riding.
@@DeadVibesBoredMan final drive is on the other end too, which is a significant difference. Bajaj would surely have used their learning from the KTM engines development, like borrowing the bore and stroke figures. But saying it is the same engine is incorrect.

CLC is after the triumph 400s
I own the Speed 400 from past 5+ months here in India & I love it ❤
I’m planning to buy it. How’s the overall experience. How’s mileage?
Heating issues?
Service issues?
Any issues?
Same brother
No issues for me now in 4 months. Initial software niggles have been fixed through updates.
Regarding the competition, the updated Husky 401 would be a close competitor since it is larger then the previous gen. But that Duke 390 engine is more suited to spirited riding compared to the Triumph. You'll need to rev the Husky to get to the power, while the Triumph delivers 80% torque from 3k rpm.

I was considering the xsr155. but after watching a lot of speed 400 reviews, I need to grind more to be able to buy this instead.
Good choice. XSR 155's are nice but be patient and get the bigger engine Speed 400.

Just dreaming atm. Great presentation!

Nice detailed review. 👍
I love the comfortable ride.
The CB300R is a quite close competition with its similar power to weight ratio.

Waiting for your review of the new generation husky!
Can’t wait to try it
Noice! Can’t wait to try this out - Scrambler 400x version!
Very nice review ❤
Can we have a comparo with the speed 400, duke 390, svartpilen 400, and dominar 400?
😆
Great idea!

Normal petrol is fine, they are global bikes after all.
You helped me decide to buy this bike.
Nice review again Jinno, how does it compare to the Trident? Hope you can also do a review for the 2024 Duke 390
sir Jinno can you please make a comparo between this, Triumph Speed againts Hasqavarna Spartvilen 401? Thanks

Spend the difference if you can afford it. You'll be happier over the long time with the Speed 400 and it's expanded capabilities over the XSR 155.
That might’ve been my first bike if I started on motorcycles now.
Me too
For the bybre brakes, it’s most likely because of the 200+kg weight of the re650 vs the triumph 400’s 170kg
That’s probably a factor

My 2014 Triumph Thruxton was built in Thailand. What is the BIG DEAL?

Great review, looks, sound, power and safety all reasonable for its price.hmm...😅 here we go again
Is this the one made by Bajaj?
Present Sir Jinno 🙋
thank you, sir 👊🏼
why they not used a twin cylinder for this?

How about the scrambler?

You guys filipinos have it easy on pricing. Here in indonesia the price will be USD9k++ lmao. I’m jealous with the pricing outside my country
I have ordered a black speed 400 for march can’t wait
A good first gear for mountains?
Speedo error at at 160kmph where GPS speed is 140kmph is way too much. Even my 2013 CB400F speedo at 170kmph is still at 160kmph GPS

Husqies and speeds are made in India by the mighty Bajaj
Is it Triumph or Royal Enfield??😮
lucky indians most of motorcycle prices are low.
All thanks to Bajaj for the collaborations. But twin/three/four cylinder motorcycles are very expensive since they are mostly CBUs
Bro as an Indian i will not say lucky but speed 400 roughly costs around 200k pesos with taxes
Scrambler 400 250k pesos .
single cylinder 🤢
Yep, a good thumper. If you need more cylinders, this isn't for you.
Hard pass 😀
