Maybe another big seller if trends are towards single cylinder for the moderately older riders. I did see a Benelli 400 at Netley and that looks very large. 2 year old, 400 miles and just 2000 pounds

Moderately older rider? What the hell is that when it's at home. I am almost 78 so am I moderately old? My friend Ragnar is less that forty, so is he now moderately old? Oh yes we both have a Triumph Speed 400.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Mike - we are all still teenagers at heart

A Speed 400 is definitely on my radar for the future, but at the moment I am content with the Speedmaster and Himalayan - the KH 400 is currently waiting in the exit door.

After the H2 the KH 400 just does not cut it for me so has to go.

My favourite is still my XJR1300 but one day maybe I will have to downsize to a smaller bike but hope not too soon yet.

Mike, i didnt want to say older rider knowing your in the Senior age now. I would imagine this will be popular with people near 60 years. I think i would like it but my feet cant work the gears of most bikes now.
Near the same power as an old British 650 and about the same price to pay. An old worn out bike or brand new one at the same money

Geoff age is just a number. Currently I am still 77, BUT there is a seventeen year old idiot trying to break out...and mostly succeeding. Frankly the Yriumph is do versatile that I would not dare to suggest that it is aimed at any specific age group. I have metbpeoplecof all ages riding thr Triumph. You would find it very easy to ride and to manhandle in your garage.

Gear pedal? Simply do what you have done before, just weld an extension on to make it a hero and toe operation. £5200 price tag makes it economical in addition to its great buil quality.

I see Hitchcocks are now doing after market accessories for the new Triumph 400's.

I noticed that Jerry, they even have some bolt on stabilisers so some of the oldies can still ride.

Modern motorcycles look like they have been thrown together with scrap gathered from a plumber`s shed.

Really? Maybe Royal Enfields do, but Triumph most certainly do not...

What are those big lumpy pipes hanging off the engine?

There is only one pipe, the exhaust, the same as on any modern bike.
