Freddie, I have been riding motorcycles for over 51 years. I currently own a Harley Davidson Sport Glide, a Triumph Bonneville T100, a BSA Gold Star and. triumph Speed 400. If I could only keep one bike, it would be the Speed 400.

[paulmuench]

Thanks Freddie. I also love my Classic 350. 10, 000 miles, running sweeter than ever. Ridden 2up w panniers and top box over Wisconsin hills. With a little gearboxing, it’s a happy companion. 😀

I own a New Age Classic 350, and as much as I hate the clutch, it still surprises me how versatile it can be. Hustle, and it keeps up; slow stroll, and it makes it worthwhile. It's like a Labrador who would sit and play or run with me across the meadows. When I park it and sip my tea at the side of the road, I admire it as if I want to own it all over again.

[SonRedd]

Bought it a month ago, and it is my first bike. Capable and enjoyable. In our country there's a number of riders that owned this bike because 400cc bike is the minimum requirement to get through in and out via expressways. It's a value for money if you ask me.

[shankarmanu]

Actually Freddie Harley has actually released a 400cc motorcycle in India in collaboration with Hero Motocorp... it's called the x440.. it's a single cylinder based on the design of the Harley XR1200X

[RenatoPinheiro]

Listening to you, Freddie saying that your #1 Bike is the RE C350cc made me almost cry !! of joy I follow you since ever and You are one of the main reasons I, owning a T120 for road use, to buy a C350cc for whjile commuting in a urban environment .... And rest asure that, even still loving my T120, I always awake up in the morning happy because I will ride my C350 .. she is laizy, noisy, but makes me smile every single morning ... it´s rides smoothly, nice engine roar, fuel efficient and with this gorgeous looks .. and NO, I would never trade her for a T Speed 400 .... It has 0000 character ... thank you !! cheers from Brazil.

I bought one in black, it really is a great bike to ride. Being a short, small and not very strong lady, I like like my bikes to be small and light.

I have a Kawasaki Z400 as well as a Honda Monkey 125. It feels decadent to have three bike until I realised I paid less for all three, then it cost for my husband's Ducati Monster SP.

The Kawasaki is a really great fun bike to ride and very different in character to the Speed 400, I ride the speed with my husband when his is on his Royal Enfield Interceptor and the Z400 when he rides the Monster. The Monkey I use for runs to the shop and errands, it is a fantastic little bike.

Great bikes these - looking forward to seeing what your final thoughts on it are….I suspect (like me) you are going to love it!

[williamclarke]

Here's the truth of the matter, Freddie...smaller displacement motorcycles are more fun and efficient! Unless you are doing major miles on the motorway, how much power and an overweight bike do you really need? You can work the powerband with the clutch which makes it more engaging to ride. It's a wonderful bike.

[TheNorthernClassicRider]

I bought my classic 350 earlier this year off the back of your vlogs, had to be the red/chrome too. Now 1800 miles in and absolutely love it. Thanks again F&M xx

[srinathiyengar.mudgal]

Freddie one thing you are bringing into the world of motorcycling, is sensibility and practicality. Two of somewhat distinctive characters. 😊

[monkeyzx]

I have a CB1000r, a Zx9r and. 954 FireBlade…My partner has a Speed 400, I love “borrowing” it so much I’m going to get one for myself. Great fun bike which oooozes the essence of motorcycles.

[pratimmaximus]

The new speed 400 MY25 has just been launched. No new update to the engine, but it does come with verdestein wheels, thicker tyres, higher seat height, and adjustable Brake and clutch levers.

Edit: the exhaust has been powder coated, but the new colors are decent.

[LostYogi]

I pre-ordered my Triumph Speed 400 and waited like a child for Christmas all winter, and I only have 2 things I wish were different.
1 The front gearing is too small, I don't care if I lose a bit from 0 to X, but 1st gear is almost useless as it comes stock.
2 Triumph should have put the same footpegs on as the 400 X as the seating position, on longer trips, gets a little cramped for me at least on the speed 400 (I'm the same height as Freddie)

[aspinaki]

I bet, if there is any Word named " Mesmerize" exists on Earth, it has a similar name called " Freddie". I just can't skip a single frame through your video. Everyone Makes reviews but you put Heart in it which no one can. Truly Truly Mesmerized. Keep it up my friend.

[richyrara]

Great review Freddie. I've admittedly been skeptical about the sub 600cc bikes. But today I test rode a Guerilla whilst waiting for new tyres to be fitted on my sportster forty eight. And wow, what a bike. So much fun around town, and I took it on the motorway and it had no trouble at 70+. I'm officially a convert and will be looking to add one of these smaller capacity bikes to the stable.

[blade]

I test ride one a few months back.
Great bike.
Very small feeling and suits shorter riders really well.
Not crazy power but definitely enough to have fun.
Only mod that it really needs is taller gearing which I think the motor could handle due to enough power. Easy change of the sprocket and maybe a little windshield.

[aesoundforge]

Looks like a fun little bike. I learned on a Suzuki tu250 single cylinder. Single cylinder is a fun little engine.

[rphimages]

I got one Dobbs, never looking back. excellent machine

[sho_k]

The classic 350 part was really touching and very true. Good video Fred!!
