Has anyone owned or ridden one of the 'new' Triumph 400 singles? I was just looking at the specs and saw 40bhp, 170kg, top speed just under a ton. This reads like the spec of a mid to late 70's Yamaha RD400. Can this be right? Is this the best Triumph can do 50 years on?

Thanks for having me. I live in Teesside and have been riding motorbikes for over 40 years. I'm currently riding a '99 Triumph Sprint. Well, not exactly currently as a damaged hand is likely to keep me off it for another 8 weeks. Previously owned Suzuki GT185, GSXF600, 1250 Bandit, Yamaha RD400, 350LC, XJ600, Honda CBR600, RS250, Superdream, Kawasaki Z550 and a few others. I go out on day or half-day trips usually, although that means I'm on roads and at places I've mostly already seen - some many times. Thinking of doing longer trips to South, Scotland and Wales, maybe Ireland, but I'm always saying that!
