    I appreciate the positive vibes in all your videos, regardless of weather conditions. I'm lucky to own the speed 400 next to a big bike for a couple of weeks now. Yes, one has to manage expectations in terms of power, but this is such a fun, capable and comfortable bike. it somehow manages to distil the essence of motorcycling for me. I also think this must be one of the best beginner bikes outhere but still offers joy for the seasoned rider.

    I have never owned a single cylinder bike, and this would be a great start. Looks great, sounds good. Powerful enough and cheap to run. Ideal. The T100 is a great back roads bike, happy at any speed with the torquey engine. Looking forward to a test ride in early April while the T100 is being serviced.

    Cracking little bike . I don't really think it looks much like a Hunter though , not dissimilar but with a mono shock rear and much sharper styling it's quite a different vibe . I think it's worth every penny of the extra £1200.
    It's the 400 I'd choose but for you TAYM the Scram variant would be a more natural fit I'd imagine and make that perfect winter bike you've been after ? ... marvellous ! 😊

    It's a very nice little bike TAYM I will have to try one sometime could be fun ,if I remember rightly Mrs TAYM quite liked the scrambler so maybe this will get a similar response .

Cool though 👌👍
