If (and it does look likely) I end up with the DR, one of the first luxury mods I will do is an Acerbis tank.

Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 - Thoughts?
- Thread starter Baatfam
- Start date
I read that the Scrambler 400 has a better overall chassis than the Speed. I think the Speed is better looking, but especially as I look at bikes that can brave a logging road, a bike with decent manners on multiple surfaces appeals.
Better in what way? :indecisiveness:
The Scrambler has the 19" front wheel, and a smidgen more suspension travel, but other than that I thought they were the same.
I do wish the Scrambler weren't so porky, though.
Hmmm, I get different out of that, not better.
Slower steering, worse brakes, heavier on the minus side. Taller could be better or worse, depending.For dirt roads the Scrambler ought to be a skosh better, but the Speed seemed to do about as well in the India video.
Either one should be a blast.
They look fun. I'm definitely out for a much more dirt oriented bike, but for scooting around, those 400s look great.
It's a nice motorcycle. But why so tall especially for a entery level motorcycle?
With a nearly 33 inch seat height that puts me out along with 40% of perspective buyers.
In general, I think it would be easier to make a motorcycle taller than it would be to make lower.
I do like the smaller motorcycle concept, lightweight, easy to ride, easy to live with.
(note: I just made up that 40% figure, but you get my point)

There is the Speed 400 with a shorter seat, so they do have most of the market covered.
Speaking of interesting 400s, the KTM 390 Enduro is really cool.
Sat on a Speed 400 today. Liked it. Liked it a lot. Already working on the Mrs.
They had one X, which was sold, and a Speed, which had been reserved, but the buyer backed out.
Of course the Speed was blue, which is what I want. Build quality seems equal to my other Triumphs.
Honestly, it seems like they built the perfect geezer bike. Light, comfy, cheap.:dancing:
More to follow....

Just do it. You know you want to...

Mrs. offered to go back tomorrow to look at it:dancing:.
Sounds like a done deal to me! :encouragement:
And home....
Some stickers to remove...
She's a fun, torquey little thumper. Nimble on her feet.
Rain is suppose to move out Sunday
Very nice, congrats!!!
I test rode the Scrambler today, really liked it.
