Conclusion on the Triumph Speed 400
The Triumph Speed 400 is a simple but well-made A2 naked bike with plenty of style. Not only does it look good, but it also drives great. With good brakes and tyres, as well as a lively single-cylinder engine, Triumph shows the competition how to put a high-quality bike on the road. Good job!The test machine was provided to us by the Triumph flagship store Q-Bike in Hamburg . There, the Speed 400 in blue will be on display and is looking forward to test riders. By the way, this also applies to the sister model, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X, which we find at least as chic and will test soon. We are already looking forward to it!
