Which neo-retro motorcycle will you buy between the #TriumphSpeed400 and the #HarleyDavidsonX440? And would you buy one of these over the #RoyalEnfieldClassic350? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
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..😀
Exactly..... Many family riders will choose HD over triumph... Younger generation will chose triumph.... Even though triumph is good, it's a small fast bike for Indian traffic standard....
If it would be name HD 440 I would have bought it but now it has such a big name I don't like it doesn't catch the essence for me .. Truimph is no a bike it relates to life as well whenever Satan attacked to me and my God I have triumphed that's relates to my life so I like triumph
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.
@@BikeWaleOfficialit has 🇬🇧 map on it as a UK aspirant this is all I want to get more than what I wanted ...

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)
Triumph will be like Dominor where people will click to purchase it due to price and performance but once engines grind up and loose the shin . Long stroke bikes will recover
Thanks for the in-depth video highlighting pros and cons of 2 latest launched bikes. As a rider, I don’t care about the what spectators feel while seeing the bike but how I feel while riding the bike is important. So comfort, power, safety features comes in handy. I would definitely chose a speed 400 over a x440. I booked it too 👍😊.
Parabéns por este vídeo! Gostei muito pois me foram esclarecidas diversas dúvidas sobre essas duas Motocicletas (eu, particularmente prefiro e vou comprar assim que chegue ao Brasil) uma TRIUMPH SPEED 400 cor Azul, linda, potente, leve, belo painel retro porém completo, suspenções excelentes. Os brasileiros estão esperando ansiosamente por estas motos aqui mas acho que só as Trimph SPEED E SCRAMBLER, acho que a Harley não virá, pelo menos até agora aqui no Brasil os TH-camRS nada comentaram. Saúde e felicidade para vocês.
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.
As an American, I doubt if the H-D X440 will get to the USA. However, if it does get to the USA I would prefer it to the Triumph 400. I have 20 years invested in H-D Buells for track and street. For an around town bike with limited highway excursions, my preference is for the bit heavier, torque laden and superior H-D service, indicating the X440 for me. H-D is all over the USA while Triumph, RE, KTM are located near fewer larger cities. The H-D service is excellent and the warranty on the X440 is impressive. Both are great bikes and just what is needed for the beginner and those of us who track and street ride but would like to have a bike that is less frenetic. Thanks for the extended review.

As response to your query at 22:00 : I do long rides on my Xpulse 200 BS6 and I do use the Bluetooth enabled turn by turn nevigation. I find this feature as an important addition, especially while on long ride.
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✌️✌️
I do test drive both bike.... Both are good in their way.... Speed 400 is good look and well build👍 engine refinement is not quite well... X440 build quality is low... Engine exhaust note and refinement are great❤️ it's an characterful bike.... Take test drive and choose your riding partner... I choose x440
Very simple & basic difference between a Triumph & Harley.. Triumph is known for their street bikes along with other varieties worldover.. While Harleys are about Cruisers made for highway.. A street bike is basically, mainly meant for everyday use inside city.. Then to have additional abilities to cruise on a highway or attack some corners.. Cruisers we know.. Sit on a highway relaxedly all day long.. So it's fairly easy to choose between both keeping the use case..
Nice comparison, a review I've been waiting for. I'm in the market for a new bike.. but I'll hold on to my money till the Himalayan 450 is launched. Even then I would like to wait for atleast 6 months because all the three engines are fairly new and there would be teething issues. A comparison between these three after the Himalayan is launched would be awesome. Fan of vikrant sir and bikewale also carwale for a long time.
@@Yashzlegend 3 lakh rupees is not an easy money for me dude.. it's my 60 percentage of my yearly income. I don't wanna spend that kind of money on a bike to get stranded in the middle of nowhere. Also, there is a concern to put 3 lakhs on a depreciating asset with the economy going sideways. So, a little patience goes a long way imo.
@@thanoskills7178 Certainly. Already understood what you were saying. Actually, I've also been waiting since long for upgrading to a premium bike but unable to decide while the time passes swiftly. P.s. I have an Apache 1604v and a RE TB350 and now have finally booked Speed 400 after cancelling INT650.
Just like 440x is not allowed to be sold anywhere but India...similarly 350x is not allowed to be sold outside China although the 350x looks better than the 440x. Harleys name will be smeared if these two were two be sold anywhere else 😂
Agree. Based on all the other TH-cam 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.
Truimph actually i met with a accident and my hand is fractured my joint is broken and it hanging in my right finger so it really affects my decision relativity as i can pick hard wight i am Goku in world in terms of picking heavyweight i fight the world but I'll pick any weight i lifted cyclinder with my fracture hand and had no plaster on it but still i am so fond of truimph its so beautiful just looking like a wow just looking ljke a wowww. So i lost some faith to pick up harley davidson has it would remarkably put strain on my injured fractured arm which can't be healed without operating it
I would choose Bluetooth connectivity and navigation over traction control, but maybe not over ABS. I usually play music and use navigation when riding. Also answering calls when riding is important to me.
Ride by wire and traction control are far important features than the Bluetooth connectivity! Triumph just nailed the price point by providing the important features and cutting on the unnecessary bits!
Ride by wire and traction control are not important. I don't know how the ride by wire is on the Speed 400 but on the 390 Duke it is crap. Traction control is hardly necessary on a 40 HP bike.
@@twowheeledparadox Traction control is a safety feature and it is good to have it in wet conditions. It is a very important feature to have for new riders. Bluetooth connectivity inthe other hand is not a necessary feature.
@@souviksarkar578 Traction control is good to have on a powerful motorcycle. These bikes are only 40 HP and below. With the right tyres and proper throttle management, you don't need TC in these motorcycles. Bluetooth is a nice-to-have feature but not necessary either. Over-reliance on these features is not conducive to developing good riding skills.
@@twowheeledparadoxone cannot be perfect at all time it's what humans are we are not machines so we need safety features than some colour dash and distracting Bluetooth settings all time okay. Have a little thought about it. Good day
HD seems like a versatile bike since it has low & mid range torque for city riding. Makes it nimble & agile compared to the high revving Speed400. Two completely different motorcycles not worthy of comparison, a cruiser & a roadster.
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)
I like the looks on Harley, but Speed 400 is more vfm and exciting. Also the seat hight on the 440x should’ve been less than 760mm, it was supposed to be a cruiser.
Sir you made the important point Brakes which are very important in india. Traction control is important especially on indian roads. So I will go for triumph 400 for sure.
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
I didn't like the Speed 400 design, whereas, Harley is a heavy brand with very good design, especially the tank. I am not a high-speed person, so low-end torque is much needed for me, which completely fulfills my needs. So I've booked the X440
Thank you for detailed comparison. Personally I don't value the navigation and connectivity features on a motorcycle. I would rather wear a Bluetooth earphone and keep the phone in my waist bag and get audio directions. 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.
I have Apache 200 4V and the nevigation on the bike is decent. I use it when I travel in an unknown place. I have another Hunter350 with the Tripper. And that tripper can be actually confusing until you use TWS.
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.
One big difference between the two is that the Triumph is a global product made up to global standards while harley is just a badged harley only for indian market.
Most helpful advice folks. Suvil as you tested the Triumph, plz answer- does it heat a lot, enuf to hinder riding? Also would you recommend touring on it and at what revs would the vibes interfere.
Hey, thanks. So I too rode the Triumph, and no, it didn't run hot. But we got rain for most part and ambient temperatures were mostly low. However, Bajaj tells us, they have worked towards ensuring a cooler running bike.
Bajaj is praised before launch Hero is praised after 5/10/15/20/25 years Remember Vikrant bike from Bajaj which had air craft carrier's steel on it's tank (it turned out to be a 3rd class bike) Triumph twins has same Duke390 engine character, so same as KTN Adv/Dominar, begs to be ridden fast. Hero has churned out fantastic bike, cruiser character
booked speed 400( in first 10,000 customers), waiting for test drive. I am 5.6 and did classic test drive, it was heavy for my taste but seating position was good, Hunter was little lighter but seating position was weird, just for fun took a test ride on Gixxer SF and really liked it as seating position is not as aggressive as R15. So now jus waiting for Street 400 to make decision between 400 or Gixxer SF. Can you please comment on weight of Street 400 wrt Classic.
Many thanks for such a in-depth review, wondering if you would be help me decide between Harley vs meteor 350 , thou i know it may not be directly possible. Requirements is simple, daily commute in city traffic. Still asking
Both are equally good. The Harley would be a peppier motorcycle and it has a greater brand recall. We'd suggest you to wait for a few months and then buy the X440.
Wow surfed whole internet for this sort of detailed comparison video Could you please also upload video of Harley ride review with pilion on Indian road as your previous review was on performance track without pilion, that will be great 👍
I will buy Harley, because 1. Indian road conditions does not support more than 80 kmph in city, 100/110 kmph in the hiway. 2. It is good, if I want to sit with my wife on this Harley in traditional dresses. 3. No body ride the bike always on highway for every day. 4. A bike is also a family member, long stroke engine bikes stays more than 15 years with us. Changing bike for a middle class person before and after marriage is very difficult. 5. Harley definitely gives 4 to 5 kmpl more mileage than Triumph speed, it's pocket friendly too. A family man definitely picks Harley Davidson. I loved it. Hat's off to Hero, it always concentrates family men toooooo ...😊
These bikes are not comparable. What are you even comparing these on the basis of? I understand the comparison between cb 350 and x440 but how does the speed 400 come in between? Are you comparing them because they all have round headlights?
@@us_nomads887 damn you really dont understand bikes do you. If you are looking for sports bikes then the long stroke category is not the one to look at.
@@fieryspy6414 its not about sports bike mate even a cruiser and a adventure needs power to fullfill its purpose i don't know weather u r even into bikes or not... Ive compared x440 with triumph speed as its almost priced the same and they triumph is far ahead in its segment in any comparison but that harley is not even harley its a fuckin hero cb 350 always won classic 350 which is a cruiser same as of harley x440 but cb exactly lies in between x440 and speed 400 understand it numbnuts
Thank you guys for such indepth comparision...loved it ❤️❤️...have been riding pulsar 150 for over 9 years now and am planning to get one of these...which one wud you recommend? keeping Vibrations at higher revs in mind...I hate vibrations 😂..
I also hate vibrations... I had hero hunk for 6.5 yrs... Sold it now i was checking between cb300r and cb350rs.... Those have less vibrations but then realised in next 3 4 month so many bikes gonna launch. So i am waiting for it
@Rohan If you want a laidback easy-going motorcycle then you should go for HD X440. You can buy the Triumph if you enjoy a faster motorcycle that's more involving to ride.
@BikeWaleOfficial Thanks for your prompt response. I am riding a Ronin which suits my 5.7 feet frame , 60 years age and offers me upright riding and very comfortable posture . I don't ride above 80 kmph and seeking your advise whether this Triumph will offer me more comfortable riding posture
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.
@BikeWaleOfficial hi I am looking to book harley, but worried about handling it. I am currently 167 cm in height. will i be able to manage it. my wt is around 60 kg
Being a beginner with just an Activa. What would you guys suggest me? Should I go for something of a lower CC like the Apache 200 4V or I should just directly go for Speed 400? I can stretch my budget for the Triumph. My height is 5'11 with an average build. Commenting while watching the video😛, thank you so much for the indepth video!
Speed 400 performance will be close to 650 interceptor.... better to go for a bike with less performance and learn to brake properly since CBS brakes on Activa is very forgiving.. from apache 160 4v to bajaj N250 will be very comfortable range for you.
@@abhikachieverofdailygoals1621 bike shouldn't overwhelm your senses.. first of all he will be coming from a 100kg scooter to a 170kg bike which is also taller and more top heavy. Plus figuring out gears and foot brake. Plus powerful disk brakes. Plus the pulling power can be intimidating. Even x440 is better than speed 400. It's like giving fighter jet to a commercial pilot. Or a truck to a car driver. There is a reason why truck and car licences are different. Even in UK there are 2 categories of bike licences. Once he is familiar with the handling of a more friendly motorcycle he can shift to a more powerful bike. A single fall can bring life-long injuries. Anyways I believe modern 250cc are good for 99% use cases in India.
Well I am also very conflicted about those 2 bikes, but the 2 valves in harley can cause some serious heat issues as it is in hero xpulse. This might be a deal breaker for me.
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.
I use Bluetooth on my 390 Duke so that I am aware of incoming calls. It's a different matter that I have still missed several calls because I pay more attention to the road than to the console.
Do you think there is a chance the some of the cons of the speed 400 could be improved upon in the mass production model, maybe the vibration issue? kind of like how harley said that they would work on the break con you mentioned? 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? Btw, I am a new rider. So, I have no idea how possible any of these changes are at this point in the production cycle
Bottom line: no, it is not advisable to make any of the changes. And no, we don't expect the production or customer motorcycle to feel or ride any differently.
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.
Firstly, we are a hoot you liked the video. Now, the Harley isn't poorly built. But yes, could it have been better finished in the sense that the cables could be better routed and the motorcycle’s neck was less visible? Absolutely. As for the restraint, we only spoke about things see were 100 per cent sure about. We couldn't comment on the reliability, or longevity, of the HD because it's not something we have experienced.
Could you please add the seating comfort! I mean do you feel it is a punishment like KTMs!!? There are a few talks about the liquid cool reserver being very close to the ground, that it may get crashed on a bad road. What is your take on that !? How you presume the comparative service experience and cost of service and spares. Are Triumph's existing customers happy and the smaller bike will get the same attention !!??
Seatin comfort is similar on both bikes, maybe slightly better on the X440. No issues with the Liquid cooling system. These bikes are locally manufactured by Bajaj and Hero in India. The service costs will be similar to Bajaj/KTM/RE bikes. Spare parts cost will be similar too.
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.
I need a bike which will have the cb350rs looks, harley x440s comfort cruising and ergonomics and triumph speed 400 build quality fit and finish , and the last thing is seat should be comfortable for 2 persons which bike i need to choose..can you please guide me
Speed 440 at 2.33 lacs:- 40bhp, 4v, DOHC, Ride by Wire, Traction Control, Aluminum Swingarm, Offset Monoshocks.. X440 at 2.69 lacs:- Bluetooth connectivity, high stroke bottom end grunt.. 👆 is this even a comparison for features!! 😛
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.
Yes, they are different motorcycles. But, they compete in the same price segment and both are neo-retro motorcycles. And since many users had been asking for a comparison between the two.
Well for me harley looks really good, it's just that it looks incomplete without back rest, if harley would have launched it with the back rest that they currently provide, it would have looked really good....
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..
Hi can you please let me know how is this bike for a tall rider. I am 6 feet tall will I feel it very short ? Or too small for a tall rider .? Also when I took the test drive I felt that the brakes were not confidence inspiring and lastly the Traction control on was quite intrusive for riding. Please let me know your thoughts
Seems like the Comparison in the late 80's between RX 100 and CD 100. Both were The best in their class but RX 100 had the X Factor. Here too Triumph literally Triumphs!
@@BikeWaleOfficial i took x440 test drive really liked the comfort and low end torque it offers also showroom guys said this is a pre-production bike and final product will have better quality fit and finish

Especially since Royal Enfield does not have any bike in this power-torque range. And the 650 ccs are just too expensive.

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 feel like given the nature of the engine. The Hero Harley will have a bigger fanbase in the long run.
Quite possibly, provided Hero Harley take care of the service and offer a premium experience to the customers.
Well Said everyone does not look for top speed only
Triumph will be like Dominor where people will click to purchase it due to price and performance but once engines grind up and loose the shin . Long stroke bikes will recover

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.

Triumph speed 400 is much much better ❤
I do test drive both bike.... Both are good in their way.... Speed 400 is good look and well build👍 engine refinement is not quite well...
X440 build quality is low... Engine exhaust note and refinement are great❤️ it's an characterful bike....
Take test drive and choose your riding partner...
I choose x440
Navigation is a must have feature. I use it very often on my Suzuki Vstrome 250 sx
Ok 👍🏼
Very simple & basic difference between a Triumph & Harley.. Triumph is known for their street bikes along with other varieties worldover.. While Harleys are about Cruisers made for highway..
A street bike is basically, mainly meant for everyday use inside city.. Then to have additional abilities to cruise on a highway or attack some corners..
Cruisers we know.. Sit on a highway relaxedly all day long..
So it's fairly easy to choose between both keeping the use case..
Well summarised. But here, the Harley X440 should also be a very good city/urban motorcycle.
@@BikeWaleOfficial191kgs & 1418mm wheelbase cannot make a bike good in city 🤷♀️
Also another thing to note, is that both are doing performance better than RE 350s/cb350
Yes, they are.
Nice comparison, a review I've been waiting for. I'm in the market for a new bike.. but I'll hold on to my money till the Himalayan 450 is launched. Even then I would like to wait for atleast 6 months because all the three engines are fairly new and there would be teething issues. A comparison between these three after the Himalayan is launched would be awesome. Fan of vikrant sir and bikewale also carwale for a long time.
Man! Wait some more and you'll be buying toy bikes for your grandkids. 😅 JK.
@@Yashzlegend 3 lakh rupees is not an easy money for me dude.. it's my 60 percentage of my yearly income. I don't wanna spend that kind of money on a bike to get stranded in the middle of nowhere. Also, there is a concern to put 3 lakhs on a depreciating asset with the economy going sideways. So, a little patience goes a long way imo.
@@thanoskills7178 Certainly.
Already understood what you were saying. Actually, I've also been waiting since long for upgrading to a premium bike but unable to decide while the time passes swiftly.
P.s. I have an Apache 1604v and a RE TB350 and now have finally booked Speed 400 after cancelling INT650.
Let's scrape some knees while we can.

That's very endearing to hear. Glad you liked it. Thank you 🙏
I just searched for the Harley X 350 and I must say it looks great. Hope they bring it to India soon. It will be a good competitor to Triumph Speed
Nope, the X350 won't be launched in India.
Just like 440x is not allowed to be sold anywhere but India...similarly 350x is not allowed to be sold outside China although the 350x looks better than the 440x. Harleys name will be smeared if these two were two be sold anywhere else 😂

Harley davidson is bringing nightster 440....its official...
Speed 400 💥
Ok. Why?
Agree. Based on all the other TH-cam 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’m in a shock! RIP Suvil.
Truimph actually i met with a accident and my hand is fractured my joint is broken and it hanging in my right finger so it really affects my decision relativity as i can pick hard wight i am Goku in world in terms of picking heavyweight i fight the world but I'll pick any weight i lifted cyclinder with my fracture hand and had no plaster on it but still i am so fond of truimph its so beautiful just looking like a wow just looking ljke a wowww. So i lost some faith to pick up harley davidson has it would remarkably put strain on my injured fractured arm which can't be healed without operating it
This is by far the most helpful video than any other review.
Glad you liked our comparison review. Thank you 🙏
I suggest you to please look at MotorInc's first impressions. The way he tells is a totally different experience.
I would choose Bluetooth connectivity and navigation over traction control, but maybe not over ABS. I usually play music and use navigation when riding. Also answering calls when riding is important to me.
Ride by wire and traction control are far important features than the Bluetooth connectivity! Triumph just nailed the price point by providing the important features and cutting on the unnecessary bits!
Ride by wire and traction control are not important. I don't know how the ride by wire is on the Speed 400 but on the 390 Duke it is crap. Traction control is hardly necessary on a 40 HP bike.
@@twowheeledparadox Traction control is a safety feature and it is good to have it in wet conditions. It is a very important feature to have for new riders. Bluetooth connectivity inthe other hand is not a necessary feature.
@@souviksarkar578 well said sir.
@@souviksarkar578 Traction control is good to have on a powerful motorcycle. These bikes are only 40 HP and below. With the right tyres and proper throttle management, you don't need TC in these motorcycles. Bluetooth is a nice-to-have feature but not necessary either. Over-reliance on these features is not conducive to developing good riding skills.
@@twowheeledparadoxone cannot be perfect at all time it's what humans are we are not machines so we need safety features than some colour dash and distracting Bluetooth settings all time okay. Have a little thought about it. Good day
HD seems like a versatile bike since it has low & mid range torque for city riding. Makes it nimble & agile compared to the high revving Speed400. Two completely different motorcycles not worthy of comparison, a cruiser & a roadster.
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)
Ok 👍🏼
Congratulations 🎉
If u have Vulcan u will definitely for speed…but remember this is one the best crusier bikes
I like the looks on Harley, but Speed 400 is more vfm and exciting.
Also the seat hight on the 440x should’ve been less than 760mm, it was supposed to be a cruiser.
The X440 isn’t a cruiser, it’s a roadster.
@@BikeWaleOfficial It was supposed to be a cruiser. We don’t have many.
@@das400s Cruisers don’t really work in India. It’s a niche segment.
which bike is better for city , scrambler 400x or speed 400 considering comfort first priority ?
Speed 400
Harleys are childhood dream for 90s kids, however the next gen doesn't have any emotions for Harley
Sir you made the important point
Brakes which are very important in india. Traction control is important especially on indian roads. So I will go for triumph 400 for sure.
speed 400 gunning for hunter/cb/yezdi and harley gunning for classic/ meteor, but RE is countering by atleast 6 launches lined up in next 1 year
Well said 👍🏼
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
You have a fair point.
Triumph will go unnoticed on the road!...have u seen how unbelievably small it looks on the road!? Even the Mavrick 440 has a better road presence!
you guys made everything clear. very usefull comparison.
Thanks Vimal.
Regarding features, I use the Beeline sat nav, cheap, basic and your phone can stay safe in your pocket.
👍🏼
Great chat very informative. I made my decision as I understood the difference. Thanks❤
Thank you for the appreciation 🙏
HD 440X is something I am looking for… will customised the exhaust though 😅
Ok 👍🏼
Consider that it might compromise the exhaust note
I'd take the Speed 400 anyday! Over any bike! Just because it an absolutely amazing bike!!!
I didn't like the Speed 400 design, whereas, Harley is a heavy brand with very good design, especially the tank. I am not a high-speed person, so low-end torque is much needed for me, which completely fulfills my needs. So I've booked the X440
Makes sense for your requirements. Congratulations 🎉

Thank you for detailed comparison. Personally I don't value the navigation and connectivity features on a motorcycle. I would rather wear a Bluetooth earphone and keep the phone in my waist bag and get audio directions. 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.
Fair point. We will talk about the mileage and ground clearance when we get the bikes for a proper road test.
Liked the both but hesitation is in the after sale services? What about availability, cost of services, spare parts??
Hero and Bajaj will handle after sales service respectively for both the bikes. It shall be decent and up to standards by early next year.
I have Apache 200 4V and the nevigation on the bike is decent. I use it when I travel in an unknown place.
I have another Hunter350 with the Tripper. And that tripper can be actually confusing until you use TWS.
Good to know it's a feature that riders do end up using.
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.
Please list out the pros and cons of both the bikes in the description so that makes easy for us to analyse
We will do it soon. Meanwhile, you can refer the chapters for the pros and cons.
Very informative and well researched.
Thank you. Hope you have subscribed to us.
One big difference between the two is that the Triumph is a global product made up to global standards while harley is just a badged harley only for indian market.
Harley will also be sold in few emerging markets. But the focus is in India.
Great work guys!
Information is in-depth Nice, covered all pros n cons. Thanks
Happy to note it was helpful.
Most helpful advice folks. Suvil as you tested the Triumph, plz answer- does it heat a lot, enuf to hinder riding? Also would you recommend touring on it and at what revs would the vibes interfere.
Hey, thanks. So I too rode the Triumph, and no, it didn't run hot. But we got rain for most part and ambient temperatures were mostly low. However, Bajaj tells us, they have worked towards ensuring a cooler running bike.
@@vikrantsingh6916 thanks Vikrant. Awaiting your extensive city commute review
Should we wait for first lot to go out for speed considering the number of service outlets?
Bald guy died
Bajaj is praised before launch
Hero is praised after 5/10/15/20/25 years
Remember Vikrant bike from Bajaj which had air craft carrier's steel on it's tank (it turned out to be a 3rd class bike)
Triumph twins has same Duke390 engine character, so same as KTN Adv/Dominar, begs to be ridden fast.
Hero has churned out fantastic bike, cruiser character
Vikrant is very good
booked speed 400( in first 10,000 customers), waiting for test drive. I am 5.6 and did classic test drive, it was heavy for my taste but seating position was good, Hunter was little lighter but seating position was weird, just for fun took a test ride on Gixxer SF and really liked it as seating position is not as aggressive as R15. So now jus waiting for Street 400 to make decision between 400 or Gixxer SF. Can you please comment on weight of Street 400 wrt Classic.
The Speed 400 is much lighter and also easier to flick around in traffic.
@@BikeWaleOfficial thanks Sir for the confirmation!! 😀
Many thanks for such a in-depth review, wondering if you would be help me decide between Harley vs meteor 350 , thou i know it may not be directly possible. Requirements is simple, daily commute in city traffic. Still asking
Both are equally good. The Harley would be a peppier motorcycle and it has a greater brand recall. We'd suggest you to wait for a few months and then buy the X440.
Great video guys - I just subscribed
Triumph scrambler 400❤
Wow surfed whole internet for this sort of detailed comparison video
Could you please also upload video of Harley ride review with pilion on Indian road as your previous review was on performance track without pilion, that will be great 👍
Thank you 🙏🏽
We will definitely do that when we get the bike for a proper road test.
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.
I will buy Harley, because 1. Indian road conditions does not support more than 80 kmph in city, 100/110 kmph in the hiway. 2. It is good, if I want to sit with my wife on this Harley in traditional dresses. 3. No body ride the bike always on highway for every day. 4. A bike is also a family member, long stroke engine bikes stays more than 15 years with us. Changing bike for a middle class person before and after marriage is very difficult. 5. Harley definitely gives 4 to 5 kmpl more mileage than Triumph speed, it's pocket friendly too.
A family man definitely picks Harley Davidson. I loved it. Hat's off to Hero, it always concentrates family men toooooo

Excellent video. Would love your comments on pillion comfort and handling in terms of space and suspension with 2-up riding.
We haven’t tested that, but initial impressions seem positive. We will test these bikes thoroughly when we get them for a road test.
Thank you guys for such indepth comparision...loved it ❤️❤️...have been riding pulsar 150 for over 9 years now and am planning to get one of these...which one wud you recommend? keeping Vibrations at higher revs in mind...I hate vibrations 😂..
I also hate vibrations... I had hero hunk for 6.5 yrs... Sold it now i was checking between cb300r and cb350rs.... Those have less vibrations but then realised in next 3 4 month so many bikes gonna launch. So i am waiting for it
@@ajinkyakore2455 yes, quite a few bikes are set to be launched in the next couple of months.

Interesting revelations. Just wondering about the rider footpeg positioning of Triumph which seems to be more rearset than being neutral like Harley.
Yes they are rear set, but they are comfortable and natural to stand up.
@BikeWaleOfficial Thanks for your prompt response. I am riding a Ronin which suits my 5.7 feet frame , 60 years age and offers me upright riding and very comfortable posture . I don't ride above 80 kmph and seeking your advise whether this Triumph will offer me more comfortable riding posture

@@BikeWaleOfficial Thanks
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.
@BikeWaleOfficial
hi I am looking to book harley, but worried about handling it. I am currently 167 cm in height. will i be able to manage it. my wt is around 60 kg
If you ridden classic 350 then you can easily ride this
Phone is enough , navigation must b inbuilt ter is a chance it might b in Harley as it has esim
Harley has turn by turn navigation. It isn’t Google assisted.
I prefer the Triumph over the Harley. Looks, fit and finish etc.
nice comparison...but i still feel, Honda CB 350 is the closest competitor of RE Classic 350 (personal opinion)
You are right. The X440 offers a similar experience, while being more powerful, premium and offering a better brand recall.
@@BikeWaleOfficial thanks for your feedback, hope Harleys showroom availability is not as pathetic as honda' s bigwing dealership
@@abhbandtsi Yes. Plus, it will be available at Hero’s premium showrooms as well.
Did they fix the brake issue (con mentioned for x440)? I want to buy it after that cone has been fixed
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.
Being a beginner with just an Activa. What would you guys suggest me? Should I go for something of a lower CC like the Apache 200 4V or I should just directly go for Speed 400? I can stretch my budget for the Triumph. My height is 5'11 with an average build. Commenting while watching the video😛, thank you so much for the indepth video!
Speed 400 performance will be close to 650 interceptor.... better to go for a bike with less performance and learn to brake properly since CBS brakes on Activa is very forgiving.. from apache 160 4v to bajaj N250 will be very comfortable range for you.
Unless you can handle the performance of the Speed 400, we would recommend you going for a 200/250cc motorcycle.
Check cb350rs or highness
@@pranay220if any chance he buy that what would be his problem??
@@abhikachieverofdailygoals1621 bike shouldn't overwhelm your senses.. first of all he will be coming from a 100kg scooter to a 170kg bike which is also taller and more top heavy. Plus figuring out gears and foot brake. Plus powerful disk brakes. Plus the pulling power can be intimidating. Even x440 is better than speed 400. It's like giving fighter jet to a commercial pilot. Or a truck to a car driver. There is a reason why truck and car licences are different. Even in UK there are 2 categories of bike licences. Once he is familiar with the handling of a more friendly motorcycle he can shift to a more powerful bike. A single fall can bring life-long injuries. Anyways I believe modern 250cc are good for 99% use cases in India.
Well I am also very conflicted about those 2 bikes, but the 2 valves in harley can cause some serious heat issues as it is in hero xpulse. This might be a deal breaker for me.
It's a relaxed motor, shouldn't have much heating issues.
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.

Are those vibrations in speed 400 similar to the vibrations on bs3 Duke 390?
Nope. Much settled.
In my Apache i haven't used Bluetooth feature in single time also 😂
Yeah that's n overrated feature
Hahaha, that speaks for itself.
@@prabankumarbasumatary7809 👍🏼
I use Bluetooth on my 390 Duke so that I am aware of incoming calls. It's a different matter that I have still missed several calls because I pay more attention to the road than to the console.
Moral of the story: 18:55 don't buy an iPhone.
Do you think there is a chance the some of the cons of the speed 400 could be improved upon in the mass production model, maybe the vibration issue? kind of like how harley said that they would work on the break con you mentioned?
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?
Btw, I am a new rider. So, I have no idea how possible any of these changes are at this point in the production cycle
Bottom line: no, it is not advisable to make any of the changes. And no, we don't expect the production or customer motorcycle to feel or ride any differently.
@@vikrantsingh6916 I see. Thank you for the insights. Appreciate it! Gonna wait to test drive the x440 and speed 400 before making a decision
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.
Firstly, we are a hoot you liked the video. Now, the Harley isn't poorly built. But yes, could it have been better finished in the sense that the cables could be better routed and the motorcycle’s neck was less visible? Absolutely. As for the restraint, we only spoke about things see were 100 per cent sure about. We couldn't comment on the reliability, or longevity, of the HD because it's not something we have experienced.
hi, is the Honda CL500/300 arriving this festive season? @@vikrantsingh6916
Could you please add the seating comfort! I mean do you feel it is a punishment like KTMs!!?
There are a few talks about the liquid cool reserver being very close to the ground, that it may get crashed on a bad road. What is your take on that !?
How you presume the comparative service experience and cost of service and spares. Are Triumph's existing customers happy and the smaller bike will get the same attention !!??
Seatin comfort is similar on both bikes, maybe slightly better on the X440.
No issues with the Liquid cooling system.
These bikes are locally manufactured by Bajaj and Hero in India. The service costs will be similar to Bajaj/KTM/RE bikes. Spare parts cost will be similar too.
@@BikeWaleOfficial Thank you .
Which one amongst the two is better for 400 kms a day ride? Who has a better paded seat snd better suspension?
Awaiting for your reply
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.
Thanks a ton for the reply
What about fit and finish of HD 440x which was largely talked about?
It's average, especially compared to the Triumph.
I need a bike which will have the cb350rs looks, harley x440s comfort cruising and ergonomics and triumph speed 400 build quality fit and finish , and the last thing is seat should be comfortable for 2 persons which bike i need to choose..can you please guide me
Speed 440 at 2.33 lacs:- 40bhp, 4v, DOHC, Ride by Wire, Traction Control, Aluminum Swingarm, Offset Monoshocks..
X440 at 2.69 lacs:- Bluetooth connectivity, high stroke bottom end grunt..
👆 is this even a comparison for features!! 😛
Hahaha 🤣
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.
I would pick TC and ride by wire then Bluetooth connectivity... Anyway turn by turn navigation is not as helpful as a mobile Mount
That's a fair point.
i dont think they compete with each,
hd compete with re,
while speed is of other category
Yes, they are different motorcycles. But, they compete in the same price segment and both are neo-retro motorcycles. And since many users had been asking for a comparison between the two.
I felt the discussion was sort of biased towards bajai-triump or anti harley-hero... Specifically suvil jii
We’ve tried to be as neutral as possible. Maybe you felt it that way because Suvil only ride the Triumph while Vikrant ride both the bikes.
@@BikeWaleOfficial ok sir we will for another after market review from bikewale
Triumph is a looker im buying it
O yes, it totally is.
What about service centre? Do hero and bajaj provide the service to these bikes?
Well for me harley looks really good, it's just that it looks incomplete without back rest, if harley would have launched it with the back rest that they currently provide, it would have looked really good....
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..
Build quality - Triumph
Pillion rider - Mostly X440
In rest all the parameters, both bikes will be evenly matched.
Hi can you please let me know how is this bike for a tall rider. I am 6 feet tall will I feel it very short ? Or too small for a tall rider .? Also when I took the test drive I felt that the brakes were not confidence inspiring and lastly the Traction control on was quite intrusive for riding.
Please let me know your thoughts
I like long stroke engines in banglore like cities... Less fatigue more desired for me in my busy life
Seems like the Comparison in the late 80's between RX 100 and CD 100. Both were The best in their class but RX 100 had the X Factor. Here too Triumph literally Triumphs!
