I already told them I’ll take a green one when it arrives. It will look good next to my other triumphs. Next will be the 250. Then I’ll buy a R25/3 from someone.
@@barriewilliams4526 Only trouble is, it wouldn’t be a small single then would it? It’s like saying nice speed boat but it would have to have four wheels and travel on the road for me.
Well India used to be British, so I guess Harley is a British bike too. Looks an awful lot like they stripped the existing India 400cc sport/naked tupperware bike and added Bonneville gas tank, cafe seat, nostalgia LED headlight, side covers and polished engine sideplates. If they could really sell it for $5000 then it is probably better than a RE of the same cost that struggles to eek 20hp out of 350cc.
Imagine my disappointment when I bought my 2016 Speedmaster and noted that the engine casing was missing that iconic "Made in England" badge. Then I discovered it was made in Thailand or some such, cos it was cheaper to make there. After which, it didn't feel like a genuine Triumph anymore, and that gnawed at my soul. My point is, I don't think this new Triumph will appeal to traditionalists. And maybe it's not meant to.
C'mon, lets be honest here, this thing is about as British as todays Royal Enfield. We used to refer to this as 'badge engineering' back in the day when it didnt matter which of the remaining English marques you supported because they were owned by one group using the mix-n-match approach. This is a good looking machine but at the end of the day, its still just an upmarket Royal Enfield.
@icanmakeariverintoocean3481 If it did not matter ,then it would be called a Jawa/Horly/ or any number of other Indian brands and sell for alot less money,,thats why it matters.
@@g8ymw Yeah I know where Jawa came from,, but my point still stands, if the name does not matter ,why not call it Jawa/ or any other world brands,,lets face it ,,its an Indian bike pretending to be British.Nothing wrong with that,,,but lets not pretend tobe otherwise..
Love the look of this new Triumph, but it is down on specs in almost every way as my Yamaha MT-03. If it were a twin with a few more donkeys, I would have one in a heartbeat. A missed opportunity here by Triumph to produce a world beater in the category. Still, a beautiful looking machine that will sell very well on looks alone👍
I'm awaiting to see how they price this, we seen how the Ducati 400 (Sixty Two) faired in the market with a price too high. I like this Triumph 400 a lot, it's got just a little more displacement than that really nice Royal Enfield Hunter 350..
This is just another abuse of brand association, triumph was a great British engineering company that is now nothing to do with the original brand just a cheap knockoff.
nice to have an option to put the license plate/lights off a rear wheel bar; like the HD sportster S. This leaves room for a rear rack /rail for carrying a bag.
British Motorbike? I don't think so. After the war Triumph along with other industries were told to "Export or die" that they did mostly to America . The new owner of the brand in the early 90s started making bikes in England. They did quite well until they got greedy and rather than "export or die" They went one step further and exported the dammed jobs. Royal Enfield have more British heritage than Triumph. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Bloody hell have I just seen a Triumph motorcycle with a front mudguard that’s actually functional instead of the usual effort that protrudes about four inches behind the front forks.
Will be interesting to see what the scrambler version sells for in the UK , I’ll be watching out for the reviews and give it a year or so to see if it wears well in the uk climate but it’s certainly on my radar as a potential future purchase
Never survive at that price, it's going to be hard enough to take customers from Royal Enfield when the Interceptor is at the same price. I'm waiting for me Himalayan 450 and 650 scrambler. Then hopefully ordering both together.
problem with the video is that assumption this bike is british..its an indian made bike made for indian market..britain and british market is an afterthought
The way I read this, this Triumph is an Indian-manufactured bike but is designed & marketed by a British company. Royal Enfield have been an Indian company since RE (GB) folded in 1970 (REs have been built in India since 1955) but following the resurgence of RE (I) in UK, they now have a Research & Development in UK. Would either brand be built in UK (making them a British company)? Although I'd like to see it, costs alone would rule it out. Companies will look for low(er) labour costs- the bikes would be prohibitively expensive & customers would look elsewhere.
Well as a biker from 1960’s until now I would put the Triumph as a bike I would buy over the RE thats for sure. Also most bikes are definitely overpriced
It's Indian. Like fender make fender guitars in the us, butnthey a,so ,ake them in Mexico, India, china, Korea, Japan and Indonesia... But only one is an American, just as this isn't a Hinckley triumph
@@avictorbell2835 They’ll paint a Union jack on it and call it a collectors edition, a limited run. Like sticking red yellow and green on any overpriced tat you want to mug poor Caribbeans with. Exploiting and misappropriating the flag and that embarrassing 007 model for the children. 🤮
One of the most expensive maintenance items (valve clearance) is avoided, as usual. Can it be done by the owner with screw adjustors or is it 'shim-under bucket' ? ? ? ?
Cheapest British Bike??? Production is carried out by Bajaj in India. It's as British as Royal Enfield's 650 range. I'm not in anyway deriding this product, only the inclusion of the term British. 🙄 🤔
i think this bike will be success , a good step for triumph IN THE WORLD new range new market . we hope Triumph blued a factory in Egypt especially Egyptian have this bran 50 years ago any way thanks for Ur vlog
No info on ride, handling, on-road feel, acceleration, cornering dynamics or cruising comfort. Basically you’ve read out some sales documentation but have never ridden it.
@@ianfutcher1518 Are you dumb? And what about politics? We are ordinary people and bikers. We can't change absolutely anything. Personally, I am against the war, but no one asks me.
In the not too distant future, everyone's going to be getting into small bike. I'm thinking about it myself. 400-500 cc, no more. it's not about fuel economy, I just don't need 130 Triumph Sprint horsepower in the city, in heavy traffic.
The Rocket 111 is one of the very few still built in the UK At least mine was when it was new in 2014, not sure about the new one, I think Honda makes that as it rides just like a big Honda
The video is wrong... Wheels size and suspensions travel are different from the speed to the scrambler model. 19' inches front wheel and 150mm front and rear suspension travel for the Scrambler, and different alloy wheels. It is quite a big difference.
Issue for me is service, can you get parts efficiently and economically. I been looking at Royal Enfield over the Japanese big 4 but now England has me waiting
I never knew that Thailand used baths as currency. No doubt they all have to take showers at the weekend as they've spent all the baths during the week. Strange how the typo (It's the baht) appeared in the subtitles and the annoying voice-over said "Bath". Also amusing was the Euro measurements (Which mean nothing to me) mixed in with the US "aluminum" rather than the preferable "aluminium"!
Probably far too much for what it is Triumph is getting more like The Motor Company every year Sell a basic machine that needs another 2k spent on it to 'individulise' it and 'make it a reflection of your lifestyle' The bearded twill wearing Hipsters with their Bell RSD Custom 500 open face helmets will love it as they pretend to be Steve McQeen at The Bike Shed at the weekend
one day the number of bikes and cars in Eastern countries will be more than the number of humans, and these automobile companies can cherish about what they did to the world. A world full of automobile scraps outnumbering the living humans. Gracias🤗
Eu amei a moto do começo ao fim mas dei uma brochada enorme quando vi a tampa do tanque que parece de uma cg antiga. Merecia uma tampa tipo aviador ou algo parecido.
Back in the day, I almost bought a 500cc Triumph single, but had such a hard time starting it at the dealer, I bought a TR5T instead. Never regretted it, as Ioved the TR5T handling and package (changed the rear sprocket for a Daytona sprocket, and it was a great running machine). 400ccs does not do it for me, I like at least 500.
The 400 speed looks very nice, the Scrambler on the other hand not so much, and I'm a big Scrambler Fan usually... no spooked wheels and the exhaust is mounted way to low for my taste... if I would look for a 400 CC Bike Hollywood probably wait for the adventure
A $5000USD motorcycle with a Triumph decal coming off a Triumph showroom in Anytown USA...sure. Believe it when I see it. The Honda 500s are 6500 The Kawasaki Eliminator 450 are 6700 The RE 600s are $7000 if you include the first $500 required service at 500 miles to get the metal filings out of the motor. I don't know anything about the company that really redressed their existing 400 with a truimph gas tank, seat and headlight. If it really costs $5000 it is a fair price.
@@nelsonbaquero1504 but the RE 350 is a plodding dog of a motor on a rather heavy bike. Equiv in power to older 200 and 250 twins. Half the power of most Japanese 400s and has got to be a fraction of anything Triumph will badge at 400cc. So the real comparison is REs twins in the 600cc range...and they are much higher than $5000USD
En Ecuador la Royal hunter cuesta 4.200 dolares y no todo los Ecuatorianos la compran porque es una moto cara para nosotros, tenemos motos chinas de muchas marcas y cilindradas mucho mas baratas.
I want one , why not tell us how many lbs inches of seat height, and how much money is it in Kansas City Missouri. The dealership here acts like they No nothing 😮
Like most current Triumphs, it will not be made in the UK. Although much of the design was done in the UK. I daresay the "made in the UK" will cause quite a lot of discussion, arguments even....
Dude it a Hispanic word Pronounced spoken as “BaHa, the “J” sounds as a “H” in Hispanic words, a most common word for the Mexico “Baja” peninsula area… BAHA for the illiterates.
No, I don't like it and I've been a triumph man since the 70's and still ride a Triumph. Triumph hit the design mark with the BOBBER, but the engine size(s) are just TOO big. Again, build for the USA market!
When this narrator talks about Gallons, he's talking about the smaller US gallon of only 3.8 litres, not the proper Imperial gallon of 4.545 litres. Just thought I'd point that out.
Our standard was set by Congress decades before yours were in the 19th cen. A gallon which hybridized roman gallons to a false metric of 20oz/pint.... But yes they are different, despite any false pride on your part for an empire long gone.
@@STho205 I'm not British and I'm not taking his side, so I'll give you a third person's perspective: YOU are the one who sounds like a sore bum with a dent in your pride, not him.
