Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed 400 2024

The Speedy 400 is a really smart A2-class naked bike at a low price. The engine could be a little more agile, but the small Speed 400 offers a nice torque plateau in the mid-range. Thanks to its low weight, the handling is perfectly fine and the suspension offers an appropriate compromise between comfort and sport - with a tendency towards comfort. Although the brakes only have one disc at the front, they are really effective. Finally, the electronics also score points, with even a disengageable traction control system on board.

BMW G 310 R 2017

The BMW G 310 R scores with easy handling that should not overtax any beginner. The great responsiveness of the single cylinder makes it easy to control, and the low seat height gives a secure footing at traffic lights. For reasons of cost, savings were made in some corners, which unfortunately also becomes visible. In comparison, the workmanship is not on a par with the competition.

Smooth response

low seat height

pretty design

throaty sound

Individual components look cheap
