street twin 900 is definitely better.. bigger cc = more fun and its 270 degree crank brap brap sound will make you smile
i like bonneville t100 when I tested it which use the same engine

I doubt they will identify or resolve much quality issues with assemblies if the bike doesn't sell...

Well Triumph doesn't just sell the 400 in India. I'm sure there is some management oversight to make sure the new bike meets triumph standards.

Ironically Bajaj doest even show up on the list... Save for the KTMs built by them. I am surprised the Pulsars didn't even make the list......

Like I said, the fit and finish is still the best coming out of India.... Befitting of the triumph brand name. You compare the frame welds on the triumph to my dominar and it is night and day...lol.

Likewise, RE has been trying to improve on its newer models as well.

You will appreciate the extra oomph of the bigger twin. Especially on the highway. It's a relaxed ride. Rode the scrambler 900 before. Lots of low rpm grunt. 1st and 2nd gear is tall. But you only have 5 gears.

if anything, bigger CC is the way to go

mark my words "bigger CC bikes is easier to go slow than a smaller CC"
haha

Naaaaah, U won't go slow on a big cc bikes or a big bike for that matter.

It would only feel slow. Going 130 is like 80 on a kapchai.

Hahaha

yeah, you get it, like wringing the throttle on a 250cc~400cc to go top speed, then comes a 900~1200cc that just chugs along

I’m in dilemma either the 400 or go directly to 900.
Some sifus say why bother start 400c when u know you are going to upgrade anyway.

My concern conti bike is on the maintenance & parts as i’m in east coast.

if you are worried about conti bike 400 or 900 also doesnt matter.
tbh if you take care of it properly, don't left it not riding for more than a month should be fine.

triumph 400 is new platform, if you want reliability 900 is the better choice since it has been proven to be good.
