Super review as usual. Pulling the skin off a rice pudding favourite line 😂
Thanks for doing the side by side comparison Q&A. Love it.
Your review is class leading Kate; SO eloquently presented, with a level of comparison between the two bikes that your CZcamsr peers haven’t come close to matching. Keep up the excellent work.
Kate's reviews on these bikes are a lot better than even the ones the moto mags have done.
As an older rider, the Triumph 400 looks inviting. I have the RE int650 and love it. However, I failed to check the service intervals prior to purchase.
The 400 as my other bike looks good. Love the service intervals.
Yeah, the service interval just swayed me from a Hunter 350 to a Speed 400. That's a _massive_ difference. Having double the power is also nice, but for riding around town, not quite as necessary.
Com certeza...só de ficar longe das oficinas é pura alegria...eu acho dps de 50 anos tendo td q deu
Mas tipo dual pra mim as dr 650 são imbatíveis
Até pq continuam iguais à segunda série 1996 q passou pra quadro de alumínio
150 k...46 ♞...se não me engano
Mas estou aqui no Brasil esperando o primeiro lote...scrambler lógico...Brasil e buraco na estrada é sinônimo
Valeu galera
Another great video kate,keep up the good work really like your videos very informative,good northern lass👍
Nice one Kate. Thanks for the follow up 👍🏻👍🏻
A thumbs up video! I'm an old guy and one of these might just be a "Goldilocks" for me.
I should have said.. it pulls the skin off porridge in that case 🤣
Really liking the look of the scrambler
Great review. You covered everything perfectly! Thank you, and keep up the great work.
Good and clear explanation Kate👍🏻
Great job keep up the good work
Very informative thanks Kate.
Great video. Very informative
Another superb video again Kate n thanks for the feedback for us leggy people :) both look brilliant it’d be awesome if they broad a more retro looking one out like some of the smaller bikes back in the 50s with metal badges etc sure they will grow the range.
I quite like the more traditional clocks sometimes it’s nice to get away from the tech, I would have liked a cable throttle but that’s a personal thing on feel.
Thanks again for the video high possibility’s one might end up being in the stable soon.
This has me thinking as to what bike to get next, was looking at the new NX500 but this has now become a contender!
Love your review. Everything covered
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always good and considered reviews
Thanks Gary!
Fantastic appraisal.
18:12 Wow 🎉 Thank you Kate for an absolutely awesome review and Q and A. The scrambler is just plain awesome and with the 10,000 mile service interval , well that is just a plain game changer 😮🎉 Awesome 😎 Thanks for an awesome Review and video 😇 I know what's on my wish list 🎉 Happy Riding ☺️
Very useful info. Thanks.
You're welcome
Good stuff, I'm 58 & downsizing, 5'7", same inside leg as Kate, the Speed 400 is on my shortlist as is RE Himmy 452 & cf moto 450MT though we've a wait for that one...
Looking forward to my Scrambler arriving in the states.
Great video and much appreciated. Bill E.
Do you have an ETA? I'm shooting for the Speed 400. Good luck!
@@NoFrictionZone I really wish I did. Started with end of January, then heard something to do with Suez canal slowed them down. No one seems to know yet. I am down here in lower Alabama
@@billesbacon thanks! I guess I'll find out when I hit the dealer. My sister is in Daphne. 🤙
@@NoFrictionZone very cool. Stop by BILL-E’s in Fairhope and let’s talk Bacon, Bikes, & Burgers.
By god Kate you're good!
Kate, that was the most informative and well stated review I have seen. Excellent. We American Baby Boomers are getting older and not as strong as we used to be. We're looking to this 400-450cc niche for lighter bikes with good performance that we can handle. I have watched every CZcams video of bikes in this niche and Triumph has all of them beat...and the looks of this Scrambler is killer! The only remaining question; can Triumph put this engine into an adventure bike.
Hi Kate, the service can be performed at home as long as the replacement parts as per Triumph's specs. Documented evidence that it is performed may well be required. The law changed some years ago to protect home mechanics and using motor service garages as per your choice. This is from EU law of which we still have post Brexit. This applies to all cars and bikes :)
Most Triumphs come from the three Thailand factories these days, Brazil is just an assembly plant to avoid punative taxation into that country. However I get the feeling that Indian built 400s will dwarf all others world wide.
Can it get up to hiway speed with a passenger thanks Kate great video
Too much of a cost difference 😢, for a few extra bits ,
Great review , 😊
Ok 👏🎉 Kate 😽
Really nice bike!!! Do you know the max load weight for this bike? And it is beginner friendly ? Did you also ride it with a passenger? Thanx :)
Cheers Kate great vlog, is anyone going to bring out a twin pannier set for the speed , I know it’s got a higher exhaust, but so does the 900 gt and the 1200 , so shouldn’t be a problem? 😊👍👍
I think Triumph only have single option at the moment + plus a roll bag so it will be interesting to see what solutions aftermarket luggage companies have!
Reckon with that simple looking rear bolt on subframe 'after market' could come up with (and probably will) a lesser upswept exhaust(I always change those for lighter less the catalytic...TEC/Hitchcocks) and a bolt on rear made specifically for decent luggage(soft...??). I did this for my RE Meteor by removing the rear seat/making a luggage platform and have done 12,000 miles of serious touring in the last couple of years.(also a RE intercept/Hima owner) As an Older short S*se I'll go for the 400X
Hi nice review the one question i keep hearing on the forums is how are the vibrations at highway speeds? Since its a single cylinder i reckon some people who report lots of vibes are simply riding a single for the first time but i am curious what you found? Is it a normal amount f vibe at 70mph doe a single ? Cheers
I didn't suffer with feeling vibrations. I have rode much more vibey singles that have left my fingers buzzy and like they're on springs. Not on this though thankfully!
Wonder what the delivery time is in uk now.
What puts me off some bikes, ie the Benelli, are the short service intervals.
I've heard this has a 9000 mile service interval, this lady just said 10000 miles interval, even better.
Further weight adding features on the Scrambler: On a higher motorcycle you need longer forks and shocks. You don’t want your stanchions and front wheel to drop out of the bike, don’t you?! So that will also add a few kg’s. Then there is the belly guard. Should be steel on the mudship version. 😁
Exactly... it's all this little things that add up 😊
It’s said that no posible changing frond sprocket on X cause of traction control… Is that true? Bike needs 1 tooth larger sprocket
Hi Kate, do they do a centre stand as an optional extra for the Street 400? I couldn't see anything on the Triumph website. Thanks.
Doesn't appear to be one available
👍👍🇺🇸
Would you demo the speed from the dealer and do an up close look at the dash and a ride around British roads?
That's the plan 😊
Great can't wait..... also sorry to ask but will we see the 125 scooter trip you and Mike took to Scotland soon? Much love kate x
I haven't started editing it and it's gonna be a mammoth one to edit!! But I'll prioritise it 😊
@@UsernameKate sorry for nagging I just really wanna see it I love your adventures
Not nagging, don't worry! 😊
On the service subject I seriously doubt most people are willing to leave oil and filter for 10,000 miles or much more likely 12 months! Really you gonna trust the oil for that long, I'd say 5000 miles max for an oil/filter change after all it's the very life blood of the engine
There a lot of mechanically unsympathetic people out there who will rejoice at the long mileage intervals! Would be interesting to see one drained at 10,000 although I imagine a year will come first for many 😊
@@UsernameKate yeah that's my point, these manufacturers say things like 10,000 miles service interval, but it's very dependent on the running conditions in as much as the temperature, humidity, altitude, dust ect, ect and then there is the way the bike is ridden, is it relaxed or thrashed, but either way I'd seriously say no more than 4000 - 5000 on the oil and filter even if it's fully synthetic oil which obviously is far better than mineral oil and semi synthetic given that they don't legally have to say exactly what percentage of the oil is actually synthetic, just makes sense to drop&swap 👍🏻😉
I think that you are still living in the dark ages re oil and service intervals. My car has done in excess of 134,000 miles. That's on 20,000 mile service intervals. My current bike is on 9,000 mile service intervals with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Oil and engineering are so advanced nowadays 😊
@@Swedeman999 Mmm I'd agree that the oil is more advanced than it was, but there is a lot of difference between a low revving car and a bike, now maybe as you graciously pointed out I may living in the dark ages, but my son who's 38 would never leave his oil in his hornet 900 for 10,000 miles! In fact I doubt he go 5,000 his view is for the simplicity and relative low cost is it worth the risk, but sir you are certainly free to do as you see fit with your own vehicles 👍🏻
Give me a hint where abouts are you from in Lancashire? Blackburn Preston Bolton Blackpool? Gotta be one of em hehe
Haha grew up in Atherton, live in Bolton 👍
How’s riding on the right for you, Kate? I once hired a car in Old Blighty and did quite well except one time hitting the mirror of a parked car with my left side mirror. Who put half a car between me and that window?! 🤓🤤
I quite enjoy it truth be told 😁😁
@@UsernameKate Yeah I did to (when driving at the left that is) but a thing one constantly has to keep in the back of one’s mind. Interesting when one is fit but nothing to be sneezed at when fatigue sets in. Luckily motorcycles tend to be symmetrical. Which already helps. 😀
Great Q & A. But made in India? Pass. And no way in hell I'd leave an oil change 'til 10,000 miles, on any bike. 5,000 max, for me anyway.
Still don't think that those small differences warrant a £600 difference 🤨 especially given where they are built 😜 personally I think £300-400 would be more appropriate 😊
Wouldn't surprise me if there is a lil sprinkle of supply and demand tax in that although that wasn't an official answer 🤣
In Índia...2,63 Laks Scrambler e 2,33 Speed!!!
@@fabriciopesenti so 300 difference in India then, right
@@kevindarkstar 300 Laks / 500 Euros...in Brazil is 4000,00 = 800 dólares quatro mil reais, its so mucho i think too
I think given the price Triumph charge for accessories if the ones this has to differentiate it were added then the pricing seems well judged provided you value them and want a taller bike. Wonder what the average customer spends on accessories when first speaking the bike?

Dear UNK - there's just one thing- on most if your videos.
Please can you tilt your helmet chin camera down a bit more so that everyone can see the bikes speedo etc. at all times.
As you are doing bike reviews, it would be more helpful to be able to see revs, gear you are in etc.
Not 747's at 36,000 feet.
Ps. keep off the ice and snow, especially on Suzuki's.
Ride safe.
Showing speedo often gets me abuse. You'd be amazed at the people who kick off with me if I'm 3 mph over the limit 😇
You mean, you actually exceed the speed limit !@@UsernameKate
Such a rebel, I know!!
Cheap tax,cheap insurance,low running costs and with the state of the uk roads potholes and speed cameras think the gs might be going for the scrambler
Bahjahweh? Bajahwantfromme? Bahgurgle? 🤣
