I will wait for a scram 400. Also I would like to see the experience of the first set of customers and actually how both the companies live on their commitment of after sales service. Definitely as a product Triumph looks better from most of the aspects. Also of course Bluetooth and connectivity is not preferred over a 4 valve, dohc, ride by wire, liquid cooling, traction control or overall fit and finish and quality of break or tires.

My choose will be HD X440, as it has good asthetic muscle look which i prefer the most as i'm tall and healthy 😅..i'm not a rash driver which want speed and can bypass any traffic, i want a bike which can give me comfort with decent amount of speed, a good amount of torque power and sound like heavier side..😀

The Harley compares with the thunderbird 500 specs. 38Nm,27bhp, whereas the classic 350 givves much lower values. This kind of power for just 50000 extra will definitely be a pull towards the Harley. Especially since Royal Enfield does not have any bike in this power-torque range. And the 650 ccs are just too expensive.

As far the turn by turn navigation goes, i find it pretty handy. Its not something you need that often but i own an Ather and it really has a very usable navigation system. You can send the location to the scooter with your phone and plan rides with the app. Its just the convience of having it on a big screen infront of you if youre going to meet friends at a new place or something. Its not a very important feature but a very comfortable one to have.

Also, do you think riders will have an after market option to upgrade the instrument cluster in the speed 400 to a digital one like you can with the duke 250 by installing the duke 390 instrument cluster on it?

The good old kick starter has been done away with and we get a dozen sensors which might well turn out to be the Achilles heel on a ride in a remote area. We like to know about ground clearance, compression ratio vis a vis the competition, mileage too in your next review. RE and Honda will sell volumes like before as even if some migrate to Triumph and Harley bikes, there is a huge population of 150 cc aspirants who are upgrading. In fact RE and Honda's pricing will be supported by such bikes coming into the market. Likewise it will help the new bikes like RTR 300 to be priced higher.

This was a nice video about comparing both the bikes but it seemed that there was some restraint being shown towards describing the hero davidsons build quality or lack of it. The most sticking point for me was the way the accelerator cable juts out upward at the handle bar. I really wanna know who approved that eyesore. Coming back to the the bluethooth question then I'd like to add that having it is non essential for me. I won't be using it as much. Unless I am travelling to an unknown place. Also it would be more of inside the city navigation so not at any speed to cause harmful viberations for a mobile. I am absolutely ok not having it. And also I like tonise Google maps as it's more accurate with traffic. But hardware options that can only be integrated at factory level with no after market option are an absolute must. Like the radial 4 pot brakes or slipper clutch.

Nice review. As owner of RE TB500 since 2013, 51+, 6'1" and 88 kgs, and having daily commute in crowded stop and go unruly traffic, I'm bending towards the S400 inspite of it being small, because it will be more manoeuvrable in that type of traffic, has alloys, looks, more feature ride by wire, tc, is lighter, and a very important factor of once a year service or 16000 kms service interval. I'll also consider the X 400 variant once it's out. Everything will boil down to it's service centers and spare availability.

How does Harley X440 compare with other long stroke such as Honda Highness 350 and Royal Enfield 350. It doesn't make much sense to compare long strokes with short strokes except that they were launched in almost the same time bracket. A better comparison for the Triumph 400 would be similarly high revving , liquid cooled short stroke motor cycles such as the Yezdi and Jawa.

I own a Harley x440 and Pros: Riding Experience Bass-y Exhaust Easily overtakes in traffic Road Presence HD Connect Features It’s a Harley after all. (RE doesn’t even come close) Cons: Front suspensions in off-road and speed bumps Brakes could’ve been more responsive (the brakes work fine so not much of a worry) Design (but once you’ll own it, the worry will diminish)

I will probably wait 1.5 yrs before buying Scrambler400x because by then everything will be out in the open. The long term service reliability, high altitude performance, touring capacity, availability, etc. I also believe RE and Harley will upgrade their options by then

Harley is a low revving motor and hence does not heat up and this justifies air cooling...valves are just for better breathablity nothing to do with heat produced...xpulse 2v had a smaller oil cooler than 4v model and hence more heat

@@BikeWaleOfficial So I am seriously considering one of those two bikes, I will use the bike mostly for commuting to my office on weekends maybe a little bit of highway ride. In cities I like to stay mostly in 30- 50 range and for the highway drives I will go 110 highest which one should I go for Triumph or Harley.

Not released here in the UK so thanks for a great review. Triumph is pretty, Harley looks a mess, they lost the plot since Willie G left. New Sportster is ugly as well, that exhaust times.

You are right, the Harley X440 is not the best looking motorcycle. But its engine performance is very good.

Would like to buy classic chrome with alloy! But they have discontinued this!

It’s Speed 400 for me ! I like the ‘Brand Triumph’ much more than ‘Brand Harley’ in the first place, followed by the looks, fit & finish, features and performance and of course the stunning price ! I made an impulse purchase decision and booked one (I’ve a Kawasaki Vulcan S which meets the low Rev torque & power requirements along with Cruiser style ‘laid back’ riding characteristics)

If u have Vulcan u will definitely for speed…but remember this is one the best crusier bikes

I’m in a shock! RIP Suvil.

Harley is beginning to sound like a replacement for the 500 cc Enfields. Is that a fair assessment? Thanks!

You may say so. However, it has a character of its own.

Triumph is giving almost everything at this price point.. 1. Build quality 2. Fit & Finish, better design 3. Better engine 4. Better pricing 5. Longer service interval 6. Premium bike feel Harley is mainly famous for it’s legacy, heritage and cult following. For a bike enthusiast, if the soul of the bike matters then only Harley makes a strong case. Everything else is at Triumph’s side. ** waiting for my Scrambler 400X to arrive✌️✌️

Nice distinguish.. Can u also highlight the below if possible: clutch.. gear change.. build quality.. Specifically I saw HD has most of the pieces metal.. that also gives an edge over Triumph.. service cost.. Mileage.. Better one for daily commute.. Better one for the pillion rider..

There are vibrations post 4,500rpm, but they aren’t a dealbreaker in any way as the bike sits comfortably at 100kph at 4,500rpm.

So, I would say, both work. But the advantage that the triumph has is that it allows you to stand up over broken sections which is very helpful. As for th seats - both bikes will be fine for a 400km a day tour. But more km in a day, and you will need better seats.

Agree. Based on all the other KZread reviews they seem to be leaning more towards the speed 400 due to its better specs, and better build quality. For me it’s a winner by default since the X440 has not been announced for the US market yet.

I like long stroke engines in banglore like cities... Less fatigue more desired for me in my busy life

no offence but test tracks arent the best of world conditions especially city conditions which is a mix of smooth/ bumps/ occasional small holes/ tight corners/ heavy traffic / elevations / back to back traffic , i need a review in that

I don’t understand why this guys is comparing triumph with ktm bcoz the video is on triumph vs Harley Davidson

Sir, i drove triumph.. it is awkward looking for height of 6ft tall person. But harley is not like that. I have booked it immediately.. anyways, thank you sir

I have a Meteor, and I hardly ever use the Tripper thingy...phone is any day more convenient.

people think that just because its Harley so if fit and finish isnt there then its HERO's fault. their other models too had fit and finish problems.
