I initially disliked how the Harley looked. But the looks have grown on me. Also, seeing the bike side by side with the Triumph and RE, it looks pretty huge!! Also, props to the reviewer, one of my fav motorcyle reviewers in the country ❤
Same hear. First i dislike it because i don't give proper attention. After watching properly in 3-4 Videos i started liking it. Currently i don't require this much costly and high power bike ( and also afford 😅 ) but in future maybe 2-3 year i consider it.
@@nishantjaikari2484 You're right, but i really don't mind that silencer anymore. I can understand if a potential buyer doesn't want to buy the bike because of that. But if the bike gives the owner the feel good emotion of owning such a bike, then its a win. I think the Harley has that character.
@@MegaRohan1987 all three bikes are good in their own ways. But Harley's will be the last choice for most buyers because of its unique futuristic design just like Husqvarna market.
I own a Bonneville. I can vouch for Triumph quality and attention to detail anyday....ifffff it is carried forward through Bajaj to the 400. I've had a Triumph for 8 years. Never changed a part.
Harley is a bigger threat. Glad they are coming to the market with a far more capable motorcycle than the classic. Triumph is the replacement for the older KTM/pulsar riders.
After taking trial of all 3 I have booked HD x440. It also has parts which are expected to be better but still when it comes to engine thump and long rides it offer shear comfort. Triumph is good for the people who wants to have speed at the top of their game. Triumph buit quality is better than HD(or Hero Davidson). Everyone knows about classic they might improve after facing some competition but still for people RE is purely emotion. Choose any bike you won’t go wrong either
nah. Its a good launch but its becoming overrated. Its good for the price but the price is low cause its recently launched. If it costs 3 to 4lakhs in future it will be another average bike. Also we dont now the outcoming for this bike yet. No one own the bike, and we dont know how would be the service for it. So we need to wait to see it in a year or 2. 😊 And Im sure in 1 year or 2 we will have a lot of incredible launches
also, Im not that into the looks of this bike. Its so not impressed, same pattern of Hunter's paint, a simple tank design, classic looks like 80% of the other bikes with classic looks. Im considering buy the Vitpilen and waiting for the 401 because per my taste it looks better
Triumph Speed 400 is my choice. In terms of looks, style and performance, this bike is a great option to choose among its rivals. Harley doesn't look like a retro bike, but a modern classic urban bike. RE doesn't has a style, just a plain look from front to rear. From price point of view also, Triumph looks good.
Yeah. Harleys are known for their big fat tyres too. But I guess they'll reserve that for the rumoured nightster which will apparently look like an american cruiser. I guess they wanted the first bike to be an allrounder to make a presence in the market.
Didn't mind the Rain sound at all.... It gave a calming effect, use more engine riding sounds and the rain the next time it's raining while you shoot, feels so much more connected
I feel these 3 motorcycles have different character of their own. Classic 350 being a retro cruiser creates its dominance with its looks and feel with the rider, S400 looks more of a modern scrambler which can come close to the D390, X440 is best of both the worlds with its classic styling and the nature of a cruiser. Anything for me which came close to Classic 350 was highness. But as the video said X440 has to be the close competitor, hoping to ride one soon 🤞
Cool cinematography ✅ Good editing and great choice of background music by the editor instead of the upbeat trans, rap, metal bullshit ✅ Detailed comparison, good narration and great hosting by my man Rishad ✅ Good audio ✅ Thank you team....it was a really well made video....👏👏
@@Amory98 i own hero honda splendor thats atleast 25 years and its done 4 lakh kms. I also own an RX100 and KTM 390. I regret buying KTM cuz i had to open up the engine at around 40,000km. Honda is too good with its quality, they may charge a bit high but quality is upto mark
Thank for this excellent comparisson! I would only have preferred to see the Hunter 350 instead of the Classic 350, since it is more on the segment of the others two. The Hunter has other ECU program and much more modern/retro look as the others.
I feel like when you sit on it the harley looks really good. If you add in saddle bags the look would really come together i think. And im really digging how the engine feels.
Enfield's look is like that one friend who always wears the same outfit to every party, while the other two are the life of the fashion fiesta! It's like a 'boring vs. stylish' showdown. BTW all three are small and so is the price 🙌🏻
Nice review! As I had said earlier, I want to see a comparison between HD 440 and Classic 500 as they are very closely matched in performance and abilities. I can give you my Classic 500 for that comparison. Thank you:)
That triumph looks sweet, I was waiting for a husky Norden 401, but this one has a good balance of retro look with modern performance, if only the exhaust had a sound like the HD
Just a personal opinion if you are looking for more of a performance oriented bike which looks good you can go for triumph (Looks really rich) If you need somewhere a mixture of performance and character you can go for harley (not sure but as per other review it carry character from original Harley ) And if you looking for something retro yet comfortable and performance is not a major concern (acceleration ,cornering or top speed wise) Where you get a better service network and reliability You can go for classic or meteor
In terms of classic retro vibes and cost no one can beat Royal Enfield yes honda hness could give good competition but here Nepal. Honda hness is too expensive..
This segment has other motor cycle like Yezdi Roadster, Honda Hness CB350,Benelli Imperiale 400, Benelli Leoncino 500, Jawa Forty Two & standard even though some has more cc then others but it will quit even match at cost they offer in India. @AutoCar INDIA looking forward for this... hope you guys can do it....
Aside from being closely matched in price, I don't see how these bikes are even in the same realm of comparison. It's like comparing tea(RE) to coffee(H-D) and orange juice(Triumph). All great morning drinks but were mostly a tea-drinking nation here. A decade ago I would jump at the chance to ride a bike like the Speed 400, but now in my mid 30s, the heart just thumps slowly for the RE. Just my two paises.
Spot on summary....!!! Tea, coffee and orange juice. All three are great, have a separate craving and therefore, separate market/customer base. Quite difficult to pick out a clear winner based on facts, figures and price tags. Buyers with cash to venture in this segment mainly consider the feel, convenience and peace of mind. Spec sheets do take a back seat while making a purchase decision. A big shout out to Autocar India Team to complete the shoot in such a rainy condition considering that motorcycles & riders are most vulnerable on wet patches.
I feel the Honda H’ness CB 350 makes a strong case for itself when compared to the three bikes mentioned in this video, in terms of reliability, fuel efficiency and engine smoothness.
But in highness/RS low end torque is less is high gears..You cant ride in city under 40km/h even in 3rd gear as the engine will start to knock..And in 4th gear it cant ride below 60 without clutch assist..Also the pillion comfort is average and you will get soaked in mud in a rainy day..The good things about highness are vibration free engine,light clutch,precise gearing and great ride control..The lazy middle age gang who like to ride slowly even in 5th gear may not like CB 350 and its nature..Its for those who are little more aggressive..
Great efforts by the camera crew to bring such nicely rounded video. Sweet verdict which highlights each and every bikes strengths and differentness to suit different tastes! Let there be more colors!😊
impressive work in the worst rain I've seen during a UA-cam review. You are the best proof that all weather is motorcycle weather. In that connection, I missed a little more talk about the tires' performance on wet roads.
Harley hiked the price by 10.5k on all variants without even delivering a single bike, anyone saying it was an introductory price it was never mentioned anywhere during launch or afterwards
It was always clearly mentioned on the website and during the launch event...the price hike is done to accommodate the Nightster 440 launch which will happen in October
In the performance test figures, did you guys use VBOX test suite or just relayed on speedo indicated speed? Coz in video you said that triumph has significant speedo error.

Harley is harley brooo
You guys soaked up in n still gave us a cool comparison along with scenic beauty, really appreciable 👏
Reminds me of the time when you guys did a comparison between The meteor, Hness and Imperiale. The video quality level has stayed on top 👍

RE is retro bike manufacturing brand man
Hats off to you guys for bringing this video despite heavy rain
I guess harley should have had a 150/160 section rear tyre..not sure if that 140 section does full justice to its body.
Yes, Front 110 and rear 150 could have been better.
Yeah. Harleys are known for their big fat tyres too. But I guess they'll reserve that for the rumoured nightster which will apparently look like an american cruiser. I guess they wanted the first bike to be an allrounder to make a presence in the market.
They are saying it's already able to scrape its footpegs, why does it need bigger tyres. More weight and less mileage, other than some looks
Tire size also changes driving. It could be that a fatter tire changed the agility too much
Agree 100
Great video like as always. Hats off to y'all for making such video even in that heavy rain 💪Respect
Didn't mind the Rain sound at all.... It gave a calming effect, use more engine riding sounds and the rain the next time it's raining while you shoot, feels so much more connected

@ Autocar why isn't the honda h'ness cb 350 included in this comparison video?
after watching all this ,i still stick with Hness or CB 350RS. the real king of reliability and Refinement on Segment❤❤

And if you looking for something retro yet comfortable and performance is not a major concern (acceleration ,cornering or top speed wise)

bring two more REs into the comparison , i would still choose the triumph
it offers so much for such a small price an quality too
That umbrella sound is giving the feeling like I am actually there.
Wow most awaited video.
How come no one is bothered about the cb350 in this category and price, is it not good enough for this comparison?
Even though its an amazing bike it hasnt really made a dent in classic sales
Let highness be sacred
Wonder why Cb350 form honda was not even included . It s very different than RE 350 cc bikes in all the dept .
For once, I’ve put my money on the right stuff. Thank you, this was a very good and fair way to put the comparisons.

Can't wait for the 400x scram version
that RE does looks Classic ;)
Wonderful review 👏👏👏
Wonderful review 😃
Honda highness is respected contender for such comparo! Do try to include it next time please!
Is CB 350 H'ness, not in the race ?
Sir at what average speed is the mileage tested.
Most awaited one
Nothing can replace the REs postwar design, even now when removing the back seat ,the smile on our face that's the bike to be on.
Now we need a comparison between the Dominar 400 and the Speed 400 to end this segment comparos once and for all
A sweet comparison
170kmph is huge. That 6th Gear in S440 makes all the difference wrt top speed I guess. RE should've given it all of their bikes.
RE classic should have a single seat not a split… will surely be a killer look…and yeah the exhaust..what if it shares with meteor🧐
Maybe only to me…
