Ever since the Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 hit the international motorcycling scene a few years ago, they've been making waves. It's not at all difficult to understand why; after all, everyone wants to ride a bike that looks and feels good, right? Packaging all that style up into an approachable, reliable package just makes all the sense in the world.
Although India is where these bikes were born, international anticipation for when they'd expand to other markets was high almost immediately. Again, that's not exactly surprising; ever since its comeback as a brand, Triumph has consistently worked hard to earn itself a reputation for offering solid bikes that are well-made, look amazing, and are (for the most part, anyway) fairly priced.
I just got back from riding the brand-new Thruxton 400 and Tracker 400 (Thruxton review is live now; Tracker review is coming soon, and video reviews will also be up on our YouTube very soon as well) and my very short summary is that they are Triumph's ethos through and through.
