Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XV 950 R 2014

Visually, the Yamaha XV950R does everything right - it stands out from the wide variety of cruisers with its sporty touch. In riding, however, it does not stand out significantly from the competition. The XV950R also has the usual problem with low lean angle clearance, which is not helped by the firmer tuning of the chassis.

Minimalist look with sporty accents

cultivated engine

taut and stable chassis

stable brakes

good workmanship

low centre of gravity and low seat height advantageous for smaller riders.

Engine has too little "momentum"

low lean angle clearance

restrained sound.

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.
