HHS class of '85. Thanks for the video, great memories!

Good review. Your summary is spot on. Speed for city folks, Scrambler for country folks. I have a little over 1000 miles on my Scrambler 400X. It performs well on twisties for those of us who do not have the sport bike mentality and surprisingly well off road for those of us who are not true dirt bikers. Whether you get the Speed or the Scrambler plan on spending an additional $500 on accessories. The Triumph OEM upper and lower crash bars, aluminum skid plate, and center tank guard are well worth the investment to protect your bike.

Harder than it looks. Read description!

Thanks Scott for your videos! I have watched several of your videos and have learned a lot from you. You have the most informative videos on this bike on KZfaq. I am 63 years old retired and would like to do some riding like you suggest. Not interested in going 90mph and just do back road riding at 30-50 mph. I have a electric bike with 100-150 mile range but am concerned about impeding traffic with a top speed of only 25-30 mph . You have almost talked me into purchasing one. Going to go by the local dealer here in Athens Georgia today and hopefully make a final decision.

you need to adjust your audio, it seems to only play Master volumn in my left headphone. Awesome ride! im buying this tomorrow! 9k miles 2018... 3,000.

I would be getting mine in 2nd week of July. True what you said about pictures are one thing. Been seeing pictures of this bike before I got convinced to get one. In pictures it looks small but when you see it in actual, bike's looked like proper bigbike. I dunno because of what my stature is Iam 5'9 (1.75m) tall. An above average height for a Filipino. This is why I think the bike looked proper to me.

you should do a video of replacement of your drum break pads.

Thanks for the video. On scooters with rear drum brakes…does the drum need to be bled or does that use a cable system?

Oh yea big Hamilton Ohio. I used to live there, owned a home and had child. I was chef or Nichting Supper Club in 90s up till It was sold. We used to it all the vendors come out downtown once a year celebrate taste of Hamilton. I met lot of stars, I used to cook for Jerry Read from Smokie and the Bandit. Bowser from shawnana. . Joe Nucksaw. I sue missed those days.. then moved back to Middletown, it's butler county but north of Hamilton.

Waste of time, you can't get one, been waiting since march, delivery put back to end of July, so I have cancelled the order.

thx man for the video, cool material GO BRONCOS!!!!! 😆

cool bike man, are you gonna get one????? 😆 just kidding, i know you wont

I think it's the price... the honda 150cc scooters go for $2k overseas, and here they go for $5k... about same price for an entry motor vehicle

Engine breaking...

X mean "cross" capable , on/off road .

My son purchased this 2024 Triumph Speed 400 he absolutely loves this bike!!!!!!!!!

All my cars, the drum rear break easily outlasts the front disk breaks. Not sure about scooters though.

Deciding on a bike is a personal choice and based on how/where you plan to ride. I hope this video was useful. If you're interested in a Triumph motorcycle, check out THE POWERSPORTS STORE in Sharonville, Ohio to learn more about the Triumph line and much more. Thanks for watching and be safe out there. www.thepowersportsstore.com

That’s crazy, I knew that area looked familiar soon as I seen that 75 Dayton Cincinnati lol I happen to live nearby. Great video 👍🏾 planning on getting me a X-Pro Bali 150cc Scooter soon

I just wanted to add I am on the taller end of motorcycles being about 190cm/6foot something and when I tried this bike out I did not feel cramped on it. Until I turned the bars and at full lock the end of the handlebar came into contact with my knee. Fortunately both this and the PCX have handlebars and you could always raise them up a little to combat this or just tolerate it. Since how often do you need to be at full lock and are in a position where moving your leg would be a bad idea?

The price is what keeps me and I'm sure majority of people from buying one. After spending some time in Thailand they had the Honda click 160cc 2024 model for sale for about $2,000... I think for Americans to really get into these they are going to have to have the prices come down to under $3,000

For highways/freeways you need a 250cc minimum. For 5-6k you can get an entry level motorcycle that will be better suited for highways. Scooters are not bad they're just more of a niche market and America is still not a scooter country. In Thailand the honda pcx new is $2k. For Americans to buy these they will need to be similarly priced.

Cycle gear has nice mesh jackets under $200. There’s one with the patches on it. I think Sedici. It’s nice and good price. Get some decent pants. I found some Kevlar reinforced padded jeans under $100 there. Go in there and look around. They have all kinds. My jeans saved me from breaking my knee when the bike fell on me. They really help.

My 500cc feels slow on the highway. I prefer the 765 street triple for that. It gets fun. Never ever ride my 125cc on the highway.

Do you think this ADV would work for a funeral escort service?

I always find it really funny when people are a little more confrontational at the idea of a scooter, listing all the upsides and watch them flounder and say "well it's a little girl bike!" or something along the lines. Which I translate to a defeat. Although that mostly only happens online. I don't think I have ever talked to anyone in person who looked down on them or at least they never expressed it. Few guys seeing a small bike got really nostalgic remembering the days they bombed around on their grandfather's farm on a little dirt bike.

Did you go ahead and get the Michelin city grip? Where do you get your tires? Recently picked up a nail in rear tire, was able to plug but still very slow leak. Any suggestions would be great.

Great video but the oil pictured is the wrong oil for this scooter. The Honda GN4 is for motorcycles with a wet clutch. The Honda scooters should run on oil with molly (GN4M). Molly is a friction modifier and will help prolong engine life. Scooters have a dry clutch. Being this video is older im sure you have figured all this out by now. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

they don't sell in America cuz this is rich country with good roads and infrastructure and cheap gas. Other countries are usually poorer and shitty with shittier roads. No one has any money in a lot of these countries. Europe is very expensive in general. Gas is double what we pay here or more. So ppl can't afford the gas for anything but tiny cars and scooters.European roads were laid out centuries ago so they're very narrow. Not exactly suited for the latest suv in the states.

You still liking your corbin seat?

Is it beginner friendly? For someone transitioning from scooters? (I’m 24, 5’7, 65kgs and ride safely and maturely)

Had many supersport bikes, but now I just want a 400cc single cylinder to ride and have fun. Looking forward to the Husky 401, but this one is bugging me a little… love the frame, speedo, sound and the stock mirrors, but I’m not a fan of the oval gaz tank with the big Triumph decal on it. Would’ve been cool to have a sharper tank with a crest badge on it. Would a give a complete different vibe to it. If you’re looking for a new entry bike, you try to please to youngsters. This bike looks more like a 70s bike to me. 🤷‍♂️

I enjoyed your video about this Triumph Speed 400. I feel it would be helpful for prospective buyers to know what the actual out the door price for this bike would be. You are not able to purchase this for $5K. With dealer prep, destination, and TT&L, it is probably closer to $6500 - $7000 out the door? Depends on the fees a dealer charges. The Triumph dealer here close to where I live does not just add dealer prep, they actually include an additional $250 uncrating fee, and the destination charges are double what other charge. The reason for this is because, according to them, it costs them more than the factory listed destination fee to ship the crates back.

Its proven that larger displacement scooter didnt sell well by Honda and most likely will not bring one to the US anytime soon.

Lovely bikes, not advisable to rev the engine during a cold start or perhaps it was a warm engine.

Nice review! I love mine. Went with the Black. 🤙

My first motorcycle was a Honda Hawk 400.

In my late teens,my boyfriend had a Triumph 750,now 70 i see he still has it,awesome! My first bike was a Honda 400,loved it

Get some boots to ride that,may solve reaching the ground

Sweet,i have always had a "thing" for Triumphs.I agree,i like keys ,no digital dash,and grip with my legs.

Special thanks to the great people at The Powersports Store in Sharonville, Ohio for letting me try out the 2024 Speed 400! www.thepowersportsstore.com/

In California a motorcycle is 150cc or more. Must be 150cc or more to ride on the freeway. Under 149cc is considered Motor-Driven cycle. Mopeds in California are also known as motorized bicycles. All 3 require a M1 or M2 motorcycle license.

This is not a highway thing, don't even think about taking this on the highway. You wanna do highway, that's gonna take a very very bare minimum 450cc's to do that with any kind of confidence.

Great video. I guess that you have to do it on both front discs if it has two of them. So bleeding it on each side separately. Thanks for the answer. Cheers.

Would be nice for the bike to come with a kickstarter. What should people do if they have a flat battery. At least you can push-start a geared bike. With scooters we cant do much without a kickstart.

My ADV 160 in the Philippines hits 140kph with cvt upgrade, exhaust, and ecu remap. But you can't ride it on the highways/express ways if your motorcycle/scooters is below 400 cc

Love the white riding gloves. I’m no ATGATT, but I was going to chastise you for not wearing them before you got on the HW. Gr8 video, thanks.

Thanks!

Hi. Thx for the video. A learning experience 😊

Thank you for your service
