This time I have it for a little longer to see how it fairs in the real world. Once again, big thanks to Suffolk Triumph for the extended loan. A marvellous Dealer with first class service.

#triumph400scrambler - Auta a dopravní prostředky
waiting for mine.., it would be my first "real motorcycle". coming from a Vespa. I'm really excited to get my speed 400
Marvellous 😁 I think you will like it 😁 thanks L 😁
I always back off from an erratic driver..."you get a feeling that somethings not right" 👍. Thank you for taking us along the beautiful Suffolk roads.
Thanks D 😁 yes, just wasn’t right the car 😁
Thanks Mr.TAYM. Love this bike!
Thanks BR 😁
got mine yesterday.... damn, such a good machine...I am loving every second of riding it.
Brilliant 😁 thanks A 😁
The Hunter was the first one I thought of too. Looks and rides nice 👍
Thanks YTR😁
Another superb review thank you ! Pick my Scrambler up next week 👍
Brilliant 😁 wished I had ordered one at Christmas 😕 thanks Alan 😁
Lovely little Bike,I think these are going to be a big seller, looking forward to seeing one in the flesh. Thanks again TAYM.👍
Thanks Thomas 😁
I appreciate the positive vibes in all your videos, regardless of weather conditions. I'm lucky to own the speed 400 next to a big bike for a couple of weeks now. Yes, one has to manage expectations in terms of power, but this is such a fun, capable and comfortable bike. it somehow manages to distil the essence of motorcycling for me. I also think this must be one of the best beginner bikes outhere but still offers joy for the seasoned rider.
Spot on 😁 absolutely agree 😁 thanks C 😁
It wasn't me wot done 80 officer you only" imagined it".😊😊😊...must give that a try...lovely little bike TAYM.
😂😂😂 thanks DT 😁
Looking forward to the next one 😉
Thanks Tim 😁
I have never owned a single cylinder bike, and this would be a great start. Looks great, sounds good. Powerful enough and cheap to run. Ideal. The T100 is a great back roads bike, happy at any speed with the torquey engine. Looking forward to a test ride in early April while the T100 is being serviced.
Thanks Steve 😁 I am sure you will enjoy it 😁 though it’s not a replacement for a T100 but a very good step down or second bike 😁
Can’t wait to see these across the pond! You guys always get the new stuff faster than us 😢😂😂😂
They've had them for a few weeks in my state in flyover country.
I’m in the southeast and not seen them at my 2, somewhat local, dealers 😢 my most local dealership no longer allows Test rides out of the parking lot due to a wreck and lawsuit 🤷🤦
Thanks TR 😁
Tremendous value I think👍👍. I haven't ridden either, but I think that I would like the scrambler more, especially as it is a single. I am looking forward to seeing more....
Thanks GBD 😁
Cracking little bike . I don't really think it looks much like a Hunter though , not dissimilar but with a mono shock rear and much sharper styling it's quite a different vibe . I think it's worth every penny of the extra £1200.
It's the 400 I'd choose but for you TAYM the Scram variant would be a more natural fit I'd imagine and make that perfect winter bike you've been after ? ... marvellous ! 😊
Thanks DJ 😁 the scram you say🤔 quite possibly 😁
Looks a nice bike must say
Thanks Peter 😁
I test rode this a couple of weeks back & it was a cracking bike with really good handling manners.
Thanks K 😁 love your channel by the way 😁
@@TAYM Thank you. I hope you drop in one day 😊
Did you try the Scrambler ? I can decide which one is better 😂
@@Cartsp70 I did for a bit. Handling wise I prefer the Speed but perhaps the Scrambler is better overall.
@@Cartsp70 I did 😁 it’s a tough one 😁😂😂😂
That’s a good looking bike TAYM. It’s going to sell by the boat load for sure. Power isn’t everything - give me good handling every time. Thanks.
Thanks K 😁
Great looking little bike m8. It would be nice with a bigger engine as well, but I guess that's the gap that the trident fills. Very nice 👌
Thanks Ian 😁 yes, 500 or 550 version would be good 😁
Morning Taym 😊 Mrs Taym will look lovely on the 400, especially the front 😊 the little speed looks fabulous, and if she tastes of a little stick of Blackpool rock, well why wouldn't you have one especially in red 😀
😂😂😂 thanks AR 😁
I read somewhere that if you saw the frame in half it's got "Triumph" written all along the inside. But then you've rather ruined your ride home 😉 😁
@@PhilipBallGarry 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeh I really like it , it's a smaller looking speed 1200 I think, Thanks TAYM
Thanks GCK 😁
That's a really good looking bike. They've done a great job for under 5k
Thanks Loki 😁 I think so 😁
I really like the red tank version. I wish the Scrambler had it as well.
Thanks PW 😁
Lovely bike they should sell bucket loads of both versions l think 👍
Thanks MP 😁
It's a very nice little bike TAYM I will have to try one sometime could be fun ,if I remember rightly Mrs TAYM quite liked the scrambler so maybe this will get a similar response . I think my only sort of concern maybe is the acceleration "if you get me" as in joining traffic or from traffic lights since my pet hate is being pushed along by cars stuck up my backside . Cool though 👌👍
I think from traffic lights, no problem, 😁 from slip roads, only very short ones would be an issue, and I am only riding it at half throttle 😁 thanks crumb😁
Get the Speed Triple 1200 RS 😂!! No cars will ever bother you again trust me! 😂
@@Cartsp70 😂😂😂😂
Really enjoy your down to earth nature and style of presentation but one day, can you put a face to the voice? 👏🏻👍🏻
Watching with interest with a Speed 400 on order for myself.
😂😂 thanks Colin 😁 I have in a couple previously but must do more 😁
Thanks! Some competition from a few other manufacturers but it looks like a beautiful small bike. Definitely DNA from the Speed Twin 1200. Is there ever blue skies over there?? 👀
😂😂😂 occasionally 😂😂 usually between 11 and 11:30 every third Wednesday of every month apart from winter and spring 😁
@@TAYM Aw man, I've been counting the decent days since the start of the year in Gloucester, and I've had about 2.5 days so far where i've managed to get to work without getting soaked or blown around by stormy winds...soon be summer!
Meanwhile, confusing all my customers at work, I ride a Triumph Speed Four, so people keep asking me what it's like etc, but they think i'm on about the Speed 400, it's confusing the hell out of them when I tell them it's a 4 cylinder 600.
Finally got to see a Speed 400 in person though a few days ago, great looking bike, and one of my work colleagues is planning to get one, they look like a lot of fun!
@@jozefrockatansky1588 brilliant comment, thanks Joz😁
I had the Scrambler 1200 as a loan bike while my Speed Triple 1200RS was in for service and I thought ( and this 100 being honest) I thought 🤔 “ Why the hell did I buy a Speed Triple RS because the 1200 Scrambler is 1 Cooler 2 More comfortable and 3 it’s still a 1200 and I absolutely loved it 😂! My point is to definitely go and ride loads of different bikes before you spend your money 👍🏾
Absolutely 😁 try and try again if you aren’t sure 😁 a good dealer won’t mind 😁 thanks Paul 😁
Hi thanks for your review, looking for new bike after a long time without! I can't decide between the Speed or Hunter, which one would you recommend?
I would probably go with the speed but the Hunter is still excellent value 😁 the speed just has so much more power 😁 thanks. G😁
In india its very popular between last 8 month...
I have one also red colors. 5 month old... ❤❤❤ very fine engine..
2.8 L on-road indian rupee here price.
Thanks A 😁 good to hear it from the homeland 😁
"When you ride a bike with SPEED on its title, does it make you ride it fast? " . Wonderful point 😅
😂😂😂 thanks K😁
I was watching live snooker, I could have got the win this morning.
😂😂😂 thanks LoY 😂
Compared to the 350 Enfield, does the extra power of the Triumph make it a less pleasant ride?
Good question 🤔 it definitely encourages you to go on a bit more🤔 not less pleasant, different 😁 thanks B 😁
👍👍🏍
Thanks Paul 😁
Front mudguard looks a bit short, the Indian ones I've seen , seem to have a plastic extension.
Yes, definitely needs a fender extender 😁 thanks DB 😁
Nice little burble on the overrun - more than the "X"? 🤔.
Performed well enough on the A14 - all the gears (including 6b 😂)
😂😂😂 every time 😂😂😂 thanks PGB 😁
Is the gearing the same as the scrambler? I saw some reviews saying scrambler is bit too low geared for the road
I think so, Someone said 60 mph at 6000, For the other one,
And Taym's seem to FLY much better, I still think it needs gearing up some more,
I think the power will take it.
front sprocket 1 tooth larger than 400x
Yes, exactly the same and I also thought it is a bit short but then someone said scramblers are supposed to be 😁 thanks PJA 😁
allright ;;;; you can have one ;;
😂😂😂 thanks SG 😁
Mini union flag on roof so cool 👍
Got a love a Mini with Union Jack on roof.Mini club in my area has a 1969 Mini White with Union Jack Flag on roof
& a BMW Mini with a NZ 🇳🇿 flag on roof.
😂😂 thanks Terry 😁
I have reason to believe that the Speed 400 will run up to an indicated 90 quite easily.
my kwaka versys x300 does more than that with just roll on in top.
And a bit beyond (showing) 😁😂😂 thanks Andy 😁
Yes, my ninja 300 was similar 😁
Comfort seat might suit you d’you think? Might give you a bit more legroom and insulation.
Thanks Hermit 😁
I do think it is a cracking looking little bike and it could only be better for me if it looked like a baby Bonneville more than a Speed Twin but I suppose the Bonneville is more of an old man's bike 🤣🤣🤣 I am very tempted but I don't get enough chance to ride the bikes I've got as often as I'd like so I can't really justify another one........or at least that's what the Wife tells me 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 sounds like the perfect excuse to ride more 😁 thanks Mike 😁
Ride it steady and you'll get 90 mpg which isn't to shabby.
Bloody marvellous, I’d say 😁 thanks Andy 😁
How much extra cost are the American Stealerships adding to that $4,995, and $5,595? $1,000, $1,500 $1,800. Anybody know?
I don’t know I am afraid but shouldn’t be much different to what we pay 😁 thanks D 😁
700 , and no that's not destination, freight, shipping, setup , but magical extra .
i sat on one could get my leg over,having a bad back,its not easy getting my leg over tall bikes,could have had a test ride,but i know what would happen,but in blue.
Yes very dangerous 😂😂😂😂 thanks Richard 😁
Too many bad reports of multiple issues coming out of India, mate.
I was about to order one, but cancelled.
Even you had a little hiccup on ignition.
Very disappointed as it seemed like such a great bike.
Yes, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds 😁 thanks Overlord 😁
This is not a criticism of the bike but i think the short gearing of first and second would be a problem for me.
Yes, More of a problem in town I think 😁 thanks C
It's got a little less HP and torque than the 900 Bonneville from a few years ago.
Very true 😁 thanks L 😁
Just come back fromm the Tokyo motor show , Triumph and Enfield "nailed it " both booths busy and loks of interest in the 400 and the enfield 350 ( a lovely solid well made bike if u ask me ) The pricing triumph 400 about 600 000 yen a second hand bike price and its small and the " ladies" loved it Honda the dumbarses highlighted their "e clutch" over priced high tech garbage sorry honda head out of arse time those subsidised canteens have gone to ya head
Excellent 😁 did you get any photos 😁 thanks BW😁
REFRESH? Do you know that this is a brand new design? First iteration thereof?
Yes, I rode it back at the start of January but this time had it for a few days. 😁 it’s not the bike that’s refreshed, it my mind 😁 thanks GB 😁
1st like again WOOHOO 🙌
Marvellous 😂😂😂
Same seat height as a T100
Yes, just narrower 😁 thanks AR 😁
Good looking bike. I’m sure they will sell loads, especially to riders looking for a smaller engined bike, who don’t want to buy an Indian made Royal Enfield 🤔lol.
Yes, nice to have options in this category 😁 thanks Martin 😁
Needs a bigger engine! 😐
Thanks T 😁
Red car - indicating right to pass a parked car 🙄 , like you might think he'd drive over the top of it if you didn't signal😏
😂😂😂 thanks Loki 😂😂😂
3😂
Looks like the competition is heating up buddy...maybe your past it RR...maybe it's time for u to buy a Step Tru and join those old blokes like I'm gonna do.😊😊
TAYM 🦒 set me up HE answered my comments so I would read them & then sneakily released video so I would be distracted & slower.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😁
😂😂😂😂 sneaky ehh😂😂😂
Yeah. Yeah😅
