Trending Questions on Triumph Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to buy a bike mainly for city use (around 90%). My budget is under โน3 lakh. I am looking for a good-looking bike with a comfortable suspension. Please advise.
My height is 5 feet 7 inches. I am looking for a bike between 300cc and 450cc with good suspension and a refined engine. My riding will mostly be within the city.
I have a 2011 Karizma ZMR that I love for its trouble-free and reliable performance, and Iโve ridden it across South India making great memories. Now I want to buy a new bike because this one has aged, though it is still in good shape. I want a large, reliable bike similar to the Karizma. I like Japanese bikes and also Honda 350, and I find the Triumph appealing. My budget is โน3-3.5 lakh on road in Bangalore. Please recommend suitable bikes.
The Honda CB350 models you are looking at are comfortable, reliable and decently fuel-efficient bikes which will last you a long time without any major troubles, by and large. Pick the one you like the look of the most or the one that's the most affordable, depending on your preference, because all three are largely mechanically very similar.
The Triumph Speed 400 is also a great bike, but it has a much higher performance ceiling and will feel like a step up in terms of performance and handling. If that is the sort of experience you are after, it makes sense to go with the Triumph.
A test ride of both will help you figure out which is better for you.
Hi Autocar, I currently ride a Yamaha FZ and want to replace it with a Triumph Speed 400, but the problem is that the Triumph dealership is not in my city (Bathinda). My question is: should I purchase it from a dealership located about 130 km away? Will it be a sensible choice considering service and maintenance?
The Triumph Speed 400 is a largely reliable machine with few sporadic cases of big failures reported in the 2.5 years. It has been on sale, so by and large, you won't need to visit the service centre very often. Additionally, its long 16,000km / 1 year service interval means that unless you ride a lot, you only need to service it once a year - after the first service, at least.
However, if something should go wrong, not having an authorised service centre nearby will be troublesome. You should speak to the dealership if a mechanic will be willing to visit your residence to service it. Otherwise, you have to transport it to the authorised workshop every time something like this occurs.
Ideally, we would recommend buying a machine that has a dealership and service presence in your hometown and close to your residence or office.
I am loving the Harley X440 and want to buy it. Can you suggest if it is worth buying in terms of maintenance and resale value? If itโs not worth it, please suggest another similar option. I also like the RE Classic, but it is very common these days, so I want to consider another option similar to the Harley X440.
The Harley-Davidson X440 is built by Hero and is a simple motorcycle without too many complex parts or features. As such, it should largely be a decently affordable machine to live with by and large. Resale value is very subjective and is sensitive to the area you reside in, as well as a multitude of other factors.
If you want something similar, bikes like the Honda CB350 models, Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Triumph Speed 400 make for promising alternatives.
Take a test ride before you decide to see which one fits you best.
I want to buy my first bike. I currently have an Ather scooter and a Splendor, which I ride very little. I want a retro-looking bike with good or decent mileage that is suitable for city riding, highway use, and occasional touring. I am considering the Triumph Speed T4 or the Yamaha XSR155, and I am open to other recommendations.
The Triumph Speed T4 will make for a better all-rounder because of its larger and more flexible 398cc engine. It is perfectly usable inside the city, and on the highway, you can cruise at early triple-digit speeds without breaking a sweat.
If you want similar looks but more performance and better componentry, the Triumph Speed 400 makes a good case for itself.
The Yamaha XSR155 is a much smaller - and lighter - bike that will have better handling and fuel economy, but will feel a little out of its element on the highway.
You should also look at the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic / Hunter 350 models (depending on your budget and design preferences). They are smooth, charming and comfortable machines that can be used both inside the city and on the highway. For similar reasons, the Honda CB350 trio also warrant serious consideration.
A test ride of all of these, as well as anything else you're considering, will help you decide which one is the best fit for you.
I am 156 cm tall and have tried sitting on the Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. The Triumph Trident is my dream bike, but I would like to start with a 400cc motorcycle first. Which of these two bikes is better for long rides and city commuting?
I am a first-time motorcycle rider, and Iโm trying to decide between the Jawa 42 Bobber, Jawa Perak, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Goan Classic 350, Triumph Speed 400, and Harley-Davidson X440. Iโm 5'7โ, 38 years old, and have a muscular build. Which of these bikes would be most suitable for me in terms of comfort, handling, and ease of riding? Also, do all of these bikes have an option for carrying a passenger comfortably?
I am confused between the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and Triumph Speed T4. My maximum budget is โน2.5 to 2.8 lakh. If possible, please suggest some customisation options within this budget. I live in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Please help.
I want to upgrade from my current motorcycle to a mid-size bike, mainly for weekend rides and occasional city use in Mumbai. Please help me decide between the Triumph Daytona 660 and the Honda CBR650R.
