I find this very tempting over my RE 350, whos only drawback is not being able to maintain 75MPH on the Interstate when needed. Do you think the Speed 400 can? Do you think its too light for that. I'm not a big highway cruiser, but nice to keep up with traffic or other riders occasionally
I have not tried it on the interstate yet. I'm guessing you should have plenty of power for that. Will try to do a test video when a bike becomes available
Absolutely capable. I did 120 km today at 75-80 (120-130 Km/h). No problem at all, just raises the fuel consumption from 3,57 l/100km to about 4,8 l/100km at 7.000-7.500 rpm. The sensation is that she can stay all day long at this speeds.
It's a nice looking bike. I'm glad to see more smaller displacement motorcycle options. I wonder how long it will be until Harley brings that Indian made Harley Davidson to the States? I really feel like they are missing out on marketing to newer and younger riders.
They are, and they don't seem to care. They have said publicly that they want to sell fewer, more expensive bikes to become a 'boutique' brand. In other words, they've given up trying to compete for younger riders in NA.
Excellent! The original colors of that bike had a gray seat and gray accents in the frame colors. I like the black that they ended up with. If the wheels can be powder coated the same blue color, that would be a great look.
Coming from owning about 7 different triumphs I have loved them all. From street triples to Daytonas to speed triples I’m a bit apprehensive to purchase one of these because I have always been on bigger cc bikes. This thing looks like a blast as a town bike which is what I typically ride. Test riding one tomorrow
@@forgottenmotorcycles just got done with the test ride! This thing is awesome! Thank turned around in a bigger parking lot and was in fourth gear before I got back to the road lol! It also just cruises very well at 60-70! AWESIME
If people don't like the gold forks, they can get them vinyl wrapped for not much money. My red Speed 400 is scheduled to arrive this month. Thanks for the video.
Yes, it will be nice to see what we get with aftermarket upgrades. A lighter exhaust, a extended rear tire hugger, and a tail tidy will be welcome and will make this great looking bike look incredible.
It's got great specs. It has twice the horsepower at the same weight as the Royal Enfield 350, better brakes.. I am sure it is very capable but it looks too modern for my taste, esp with the mono shock. Call me an idiot, but I would take the 350 RE over this.
Picked mine up yesterday, great bike. I notice one difference with yours, there is no light switch next to the info button? Mine (EU) has a rocker switch to select DLR or regular light?
