350cc Triumph Bikes Price Hike Incoming

I brought this bike due to specification only, and to avoid a classic because already own a meteor 350. I needed a bike looks like Splendor but perform like a KTM, basically wanted a good street daily commuter. I did have other options like CB350RS, RE Guerrilla, TVS Ronin etc. I did liked the simple look, good specifications on paper and cheapest price in the segment. It's a mix feeling of goodness and regression. The mileage of this bike is 19 to 22kmpl, I never got more than that. Seat and riding posture are very painful due to low height configuration on front side. It should have given a 18 inch tyre instead of 17. The handle bar height should be equal to body. Seat is cheap and uncomfortable but I fixed by my own. Considering a handle bar raiser now but not sure yet. Performance is not equal to the specifications on paper. Feels like an overhyped bike just looks good. It's a big no for daily commute. If you have a collection of bikes and you wanted another one, yes you can go for it. It's really looks good kept in garage. One you ride, you will feel something is missing. Adding to the mileage figure, disappointment will raise more as I spent more price per KM and getting worst experience.

I chose the Triumph Speed 400 for its perfect blend of timeless british styling, refined performance, premium build quality, everyday comfort and the pure joy it brings on every ride. Love it. Try it. The Speed 400 feels smooth, confident and fun on every ride. Whether it's city streets or open highways, it delivers comfort, performance. I smile every time I twist the throttle. You should go for long ride too. I would recommend this bike to everyone who is very keen to riding. Go for the extra aux lights, the present stock one is bit lower side, compare to the cars it is low. Bike is best for daily commute.

I’ve the original 398cc displacement yellow XC what a great bike. Around the city, it is easy to manoeuvre and so tractable. Overtakes are buttery smooth in any gear. Being a single cylinder, highway performance when you’re cruising over 110kmph is a little buzzy especially if you sit at over 7000-7500 rpm. But this is as good as a single cylinder bike gets. Suspension gives you feedback but never lacks absorption. For riders with a short inseam, the saddle height may trouble them but riding tall bikes is a skill which anyone can learn and it just looks so so so pretty.
