I love the beginning, married man considers his position regarding promise of coffee and realises that he could be making very bad decision 😂😂😂😂
My thoughts exactly. A very wise man.
😂😂😂😂😂 you noticed that did you 😂😂😂 thanks Alan 😁
😂😂😂😂
I got scared !
@@leeinwis 😂😂😂
Brings back memories.
I used to be a lifeguard at the stowmarket swimming pool.
There was a girl from Bacton who had a job cleaning at the Baptist chapel. I used to go and meet her there.
Over the entrance to the chapel it said 'Be sure your sins will find you out', which put the fear of god in to me... For about two seconds.
I always told her that she should be a model.
One day she went to London for the day and was spotted by a 'models one' scout and I never saw her again, apart from in Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Victorias Secrets and in the opening credits of a Bond film , Die Another Day, I think.
When mototechnics had a mass test ride and we ride past her mum's bungalow, 'Brooklyn', I did have a little sigh.
She married tennis star Yannick Noah... He probably had a higher 'lob ' than me TBF 😏
( - although I got the first service in 😏)
😂😂😂😂 brilliant story 😁 love it 😁 thanks Loki 😁
Fascinating story that..woo
l do love a two up video, it tells you a lot about a bike and it's always nice to see Mrs TAYM and get her seal of approval 😁👍
Thanks MP 😁
Marvellous, I think Mrs Taym was letting the moths fly free from your right pocket 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 very likely 😂😂😂😂 thanks ABD 😁
Beautiful pond with ducks, beautiful bike, beautiful mrs. TAYM 😁😁 ... The coffee first decision was a life line 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 thanks Stefan 😁
Two up at 20mph in 4th gear, sounding sweet an unstressed. Top work Triumph. Really such an influential review in so many ways I have to say.
Thanks Chris 😁
My man,mrs TAYM has rubber stamped it, if you watch the video back,when she gives her opinion on the bike,i think i saw a green light for you to get one as a winter bike😉👍and the added bonus of you having it a cuople of years and when mrs TAYM passes her test,maybe pass it on to her👍there is her incentive to do her cbt and test👍everybody is a winner.
Sounds like a plan 😂😂😂 thanks Lee 😁
The Speed, coz I'm smaller than wee David 😂, might tempt me to do my big girl license. But then so would an MV Agusta 😁
@@lilynorthover8378 😂😂😂😂
Get one as a winter bike and get Mrs Taym to ride it this summer!
Nice ride in lovely Britain with cute cottages and green countryside. Nice also to see that the 400x is very capable two up. Thanks for the review.
Thanks A 😁
Another great wee vlog Mr & Mrs TAYM!
Triumph have nailed these 400's!
Thanks TT 😁
I enjoyed the video and I am not a biker: it seemed to be a useful real world review. I always enjoy seeing the English countryside.
Thanks Roy 😁
The seal of approval from Mrs TAYM!
Aye, you knew you had to make good on the promise of coffee .
☕
I did indeed 😂😂 almost got it wrong 😂😂 thanks PW 😁
Good to hear Mrs Taym’s wisdom. The Speed would suit her perfectly I think.
yeah i wonder if you and the mrs could try it.
😂😂😂 yes, even almost knows what forks are 😁 and even better, whether they are the right way up 😁😂😂 thanks Stephen 😁
Definitely 😁
I have to say TAYM I’m truly jealous that the missus rides with you. I have been riding for 20 plus years and my wife has never ridden two up with me. What a great thing to share 👍
That’s a shame 😁 I have you tried bribery with coffee and cake and food more generally 😂😂😁 thanks TR 😁 your GS could carry an awful lot of new clothes and bags and jewels 😁😂😂😂
@@TAYM 🤣🤣🤣 everything but jewelry 🤦 and with one graduating uni and getting married and another about to start I don’t think the kind of jewelry I could afford would entice her 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Thruxtonrider21 😂😂😂😂
I’d love to see videos of Mrs TAYM learning to pass her test. 👍
Yes, that would be good 😁 I shouldn’t think she would want me anywhere near her in the process though 😂😂😂 I could try 😁 thanks lofty 😁
Great to meet Mrs Taym, beautiful lady and speaks very well . I also like the look of the Scam but it needs mudguards and it's a bit early to be making a judgement on reliability.
Absolutely agree 😁 thanks Mike 😁
Love it! Great Vid! How can you not have Lemon Drizzle Cake with a coffee! I am right with you, always have the cake! 😅
Just shows... Not always about CC's. There you go! 2-up awesome!
Think there needs to be more 2-Up vids on bikes!
In my very very earlier years riding I had a Honda V25 cruiser sometimes called a Magnum. Had no car. My girl and I commuted to work, did some reasonable distance rides etc. All we had and enjoyed and got on with it.
These new lower capacity bikes look awesome and give so much than we used to experience with smaller engines and yet still enjoyed!
What a great bike and ride!
Thanks CJ 😁 yes, only beaten by bacon sandwiches 😂😂😂
Great honest review,nice to see Mrs TAYM again,a natural on camera.
Great video TAYM.
Thanks BM 😁😂😂
Morning Mr and Mrs TAYM. Well, that’s it then, stamp of approval by Mrs TAYM, perfect winter (and Summer) bike, get it bought 🫣😉😂
😂😂😂 thanks Ian 😁
Cracking video thanks. 😀
Thanks T 😁
"How does it compare to the Rocket?" 😂🤣.
Those insidiously, creeping 20/30/40 mph limits though 😔
At first I thought these might be temporary with all the flooding your way, but then I spotted the painted markers so I guess they're here to stay. With the way this country is going, 40bhp is indeed plenty.
Lovely to see Mrs TAYM of course. Might get Mrs PGB out soon I hope. Like Mrs TAYM I can barely tell she's on the back.
We do like those little cuddles and it makes giving up our solitary pleasures for a time well worth it in my opinion.
Thanks PGB 😁 yes they are temporary, just while they finish the roadworks on the A14 🤔 so about a year 😂😂😂😂
Triumph executives breath a huge sigh of relief, and as the Champagne corks pop it's high fives all round at Triumph HQ ... Mrs TAYM , she say YES !!!😂🤣😊💛💛
😂😂😂😂 thanks DJ 😁
happy wife = happy life.... have fun
Thanks Stephen 😁
Cracking little machine, and a terrific thumbs up from Mrs Taym
Thanks PH 😁
Nice one TAYM and Mrs TAYM, very impressed with the little Triumph.....😊
Thanks H 😁
Excellent video. You two are a hoot.
Had me smiling through out the video.😊
Thanks JT 😁 mission accomplished 😁😂😂
Picked up my phantom black triumph scrambler 400x yesterday. What a Wonderfull bike it is. Did a good 60miles on my f irst ride. Soon I'l be taking the miss for a ride and this review gives me a lot of confidence! Thanx for it!
Seriously, you won’t know she’s there 😁 thanks S 😁
I got mine last month..changed oil at 200km, then again at 1000. Two first services means extra protection from those microscopic metal filings that just want to scratch those polished innards of that lovely engine.
Also Triumphs suggestion of 16,000km service interval hence isn't for me. Five or six thousand km is all that I will subject that engine to...before oil and filter changes.
Just sharing
PS..had done same for my 2015 Bullet 500 and 2021 Intercptr 650..have had 10,000 km of mountain touring every year totally glitch free over challenging conditions here in India
A definite seal of approval from Mrs. All Year Round and I thought that she would hold out for the Rocket👍👍. The Scrambler 400X is a very good choice I would think, especially for wet back roads in Pomgolia. I constantly worry whether my wife is still on the back as she is a bit of a waif😂😂 .
😂😂😂 marvellous, though I had noticed 😁 thanks GBD 😁
Another great video, Happy Wife Happy Life! Ride safe..
Absolutely 😁 thanks Gary 😁
Another great video, and wonderful to see Mrs TAYM out on the back. I enjoy the odd occasion that my wife goes for a ride. Luckily, she doesn't want to stop for coffee because her hair won't be right when the helmet comes off 😁😆😅🤣. Great man decision to do coffee first. It had the potential to go sideways if not 😁🫣. Really enjoyed that. Thank you
Hair! Tell me about it 😂😂😂 thanks Ian 😁 will message you as soon as I get a moment 😁
No drama, mate. All good here at the moment .
Another great video TAYM, very interesting , Glad to see you know your place and promised the Coffee at the start of the ride. This looks a fun bike I must go up and have a look at one in the near future. Glad Mrs TAYM likes it , so you can go on and purchase one as a Winter bike. All the best to you both. 👍
😂😂😂😂😂 thanks Thomas 😁
Fabulous. Nice bit of banter.
Thanks JM 😁
I like that bike a lot , it’s a looker . It’s lovely to see Mrs TAYM out with you , I love the banter between you very good video 😊
Thanks MsD 😁
Your genuine joy is both enjoyable and infectious, cheers from Los Angeles
Thanks Tom 😁
I'm looking to test drive this, thanks!
Thanks Mark 😁 hope you like it 😁
@@TAYM I will report back thanks.
Sounds like a great review from mrs Taym👍 . Get one bought 😉
Thanks Paul 😁
An excellent addition to your marvelous series on the 400x. To get the Mrs TAYM ultimate accolade - nothing wrong with it and the rocket only different not better - surely makes it her top choice. And here’s the thing - out on my 1000sx yesterday I didn’t want to go down the messy wet narrow roads of north Essex and south Suffolk, but I would have done on the 400x. Perfect for our roads at the moment and great all year round.
Exactly 😁 thanks Alan 😁
Mr and Mrs Taym on a Trumpet and both appear to luv it - I liked the comment that it was boring in the 20/30s but when it gets going its alright 😂😂 - very cool bike I think and you’ve just made my decision harder thank you very much
Was a great review along with the others on the same bike - Thanks
And as always
Regards from Florida
Thanks John 😁
Very interesting and informative!!!👍👍
Thanks TBG 😁
So far this one seems to be the most comfortable, smaller (here in the States) 2-up motorcycle. The only thing I would like for it to be a little bit lower and with a seat a bit more like the Honda SCL500, but then again it would not have the 195 mm ground clearance (about 7.7 inches) for the ocassional light-off road/gravel road.
Thanks 😁 yes, it will be interesting to see how they stand up to British weather and roads 😁
I ordered a 400x back in November and am still patiently waiting but it sounds as though it will be worth the wait. Another great review.
Thanks David 😁 at least we will have an idea about reliability before you get it 😁
Coffee always sounds good,
Thanks Iron 😁 yes, a good tool for bribery 😁
What a great small capacity bike it is ,these are going to sell so well I think . Thanks TAYM
Thanks GCK 😁 yes, now they just have to prove their reliability 😁
@@TAYM yes that is true
I have a 2015 Bullet and 2021 Intercptr650 which i tour with every year.
So last month i came home with the limegreen Scrambler400x. The dealership is 300km away but over good highway mostly.
This Triumph is silken till 55-60 mph and then just changes to a wheezy vibey harsh engine feedback if pushed any further. Ive just done 1200km incl 02 oil changes and 4200 rpm gets you to 85kmph which has been pretty much my limit for the running in period.
This bike should have been a 450cc displacement to be a highway capable bike
Thanks Sanjay 😁 definitely a buzzy thing at speed 😁
Love this mutter what a sweet bike and you are a lucky man naughty boy
😂😂😂 thanks Frank 😁
Nice gentle vibe, and I enjoyed this video. Been thinking of the Speed, but now the Scrambler has entered the equation.
Thanks TOOP 😁😂😂 more videos on the speed coming 😁
Both the Scrambler SX and Speed Triumph 400's are nice bikes and I have had a look at both to downsize from my T100 but I have plumbed for a new Honda CB500x. Mrs Taym seemed to like the Scrambler though, so after a little buttering up, you might have paved the way to getting for your winter bike. Although winter is all but over. 😄👍
Thanks John 😁😂😂😂
How about you on the pillion and your wife riding?? That would be both an amazing test and an incredible video!
😂😂😂😂 I am not that brave 😂😂😂 thanks Mark 😂😁
If Mrs.TAYM likes it then it must be good. It sounds right and not too noisey Nice review TAYM.
Thanks B 😁
Always good to get a pillion opinion.
Thanks Alan 😁
I wouldn't be a pillion on any bike for all the tea in China. Last time was in the mid 90's with my dad. I used to work at the same place as my brother, and he was pillion on my gn 125. 50 mile round journey and some mornings he'd dose off 😮😂 Never fell off!
😂😂😂😂 I know what you mean 😂😂 thanks Paul 😁
Mrs. Taym. definitely prefers Triumph then Taym. and it looks like your next winter bike needs ordering soon. Mrs Taym seemed more impressed with this than with Paddington. Good review from you both Triumph will be pleased. On a different note, the local council spend a fortune in speed signage don`t they. Five in the first minute driving through Elmswell, 30-20-20-20-20, all in an obviously built up area - overkill or what, then another 13 speed change signs in the next 3 minutes before you got to the national speed sign, marvellous.... What I found strange though was the 30mph limits if you turned off the 20mph main road onto the more built up housing estate streets - like where the kids play? unbelieve-able! Do some more 2 up video`s Taym we value Mrs Taym`s opinion, she knows a thing or two about bikes especially Triumphs.
Thanks Mike 😁 I think she may 😁 there is a reason for the speed limits and I keep trying to make a video on it😁
That’s the bike Mrs T should ride!
Certainly is, suits her doesn’t it 😁
I would have to have a back rest; aka top box fitted for SWMBO to ride behind me.
Brilliant 😁 love a bit of Rumpole 😂😂 thanks S 😁
Another great video...sounds like Rocket purchase on hold..."big wedding" will use the 2024 budget!!
And more 😞😂😂😂😂 thanks DC 😁
Good morning ! You certainly need those wide bars with all those 20mph zones 🤬
😂😂😂 I know, incredible isn’t it😁 but there is a reason 😁thanks Rob 😁
Haw, Haw, Haw, that's it then, marvellous, it's in the bag and about to join the stable with Mrs TAYM'S approval. Any time a woman likes something and it's about half the price they expected to pay, it's never about money spent and always about how much was saved 😉😆 Speaking of cost, Triumph should give you one free, Mrs TAYM'S approval is priceless as far as free advertising 👍😊😂
😂😂😂😂 I totally agree, I think they should 😂😂😂 thanks GW 😁
Really great mumbling coffee and cake ride. It would have been good to see Mrs TAYM on the bike to see if the shorter rider could touch feet to tarmac. I’m only 5’6” and love the look but worried about the seat height.
Thanks Luke 😁 yes, I should have got her to do that 😕 but she is 5ft 8in I think 😁 still would have been interesting to see 😁
I must admit that I was very sceptical about this new Triumph 400
Being a dyed in the wool Royal Enfield Man,
I own an Interceptor and Hunter,
Love them both,
But it looks good when you are out on it sir with your good Lady,
I still don't like the new BSA 650 though,
But this Triumph 400 seems a nice bike 👍
Cheers Paul 👍
Thanks Paul 😁 yes, it still needs to prove its reliability though 😁 fingers crossed 😁 I really like the BSA but there are so many good options at the moment 😁
@@TAYM
Why i prefer the Royal Enfields,
It's because I like to service them myself,
And both the Triumph and BSA have Shims,
And are not as easy to service yourself,
More difficult to deal with,
cheers Paul
@@paulfoster5432 good point 😁
Oooh TAYM this sound promising cart blanch to buy one you have Mrs TAYM'S permission I reckon maybe get the Rocket for the summer and then put an order in for the Triumph in order to get it in time for next winter how good would that be and Mrs TAYM would be really chuffed sounds like a plan to me and you could even get Mrs TAYM to help decide on the colours too how good would that be 😁👌👍and now for me it's a day with MotoGP !
😂😂😂😂 thanks Crumb 😁
Thanks for this. I’ve been waiting to find out if it’s ok on the back. Been away from bikes for nearly 30 years now,but am considering the Speed 400. Nice to know how it goes and feels 2up 👍
Thanks Tim 😁 it’s in the pipeline 😁
I'm betting Mrs taym knew perfectly well this was a thinly veiled ruse to seek approval for your next purchase, when she said it looked to be £8500 you could hear victory in your voice lol
😂😂😂😁😂 you are far too sharp 😂😂😂 that obvious was it 😂😂 thanks Stephen 😁
Cakes ARE luggage 😉
😂😂😂😂 thanks Lily 😁
I had Ducati scrambler , this one looks good. Seat height bit high for me tho - shame .
Thanks N 😁 I must try a Ducati 😁
Great review as always glad Mrs Taym enjoyed it shows that small capacity bikes still can be great fun to ride.
Would suit her down to the ground even with platforms on 😅 ride safe and keep the videos coming 😊
😂😂😂😂 thanks Steve 😁
Great review Mrs TAYM. Mrs Tree has been known to go to sleep on the back first I know is when her helmet hits me in the back of the head. Long straight boring roads outback Oz only 2 bends Brisbane to Darwin haha.😊
Mrs PGB does that too. With 20mph everywhere we'll both be having a little nap 🥱😴
😂😂
😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😁
Nice one
Thanks Peter 😁
Had the 400s been available 18 months ago I may have not have bought my wonderful Bonneville. Is that sacrilege?
Yes 😁😂😂😂😂
Always amazes my when I'm riding my Classic 350 2 up how little I noticed the gf was on the bike, it's still as flickable and doesn't lose any of its 20.2hp as when I'm riding it solo...
Then she gets on the back of my V-Strom which has 5 times more power and every little movement she makes unsettles it! 😂😂😂
Yes weird isn’t it 🤔 thanks Richie 😁
Overall, all things considered, which one would u prefer? Scrambler 400 or classic 350?
Thanks M 😁 now that question needs another ride on the 350 😁
lovely bike... we also do a lot of 2 up riding... i love the royal enfield classics .. but too gutless... im now divided between the triumph 400 speed or the cb300r ... 30bhp of the honda would be enough i rarely go over 70mph and love backlane riding... the 40 bhp triumph has great seat for two... but the fly by wire throttle body really putting me off i dunno why i dont trust it even tho its made by bosch... decisions
Thanks P 😁 it seems more and more are using it 😁 still it’s good to have such a good range to choose from 😁
Cakes are good 🍰🧁🎂
Exactly 😁 thanks Tim 😁
Considering swapping the old gs for one of these
Now that’s an interesting swap 🤔 thanks Tim 😁
@@TAYM yes a bit lighter and cheaper running costs
@@timothybrockbank7474 very true, but still 🤔
Marvellous.....
😂😂😂 thanks 1GP😁
Lots of 20mph zones down your way. We have them all over. Guess where.
😂😂😂 yes, thinking of changing the name Suffolk for Wales 😁😂😂😂 thanks T 😁
Just wondering how tall you are im 6.4 would I swamp this model triumph cheers.
I am 6 2 and feel fine on it 😁 it is tall but relatively narrow 🤔 it is taller than the 900 Scrambler but I think you will have to test ride it to know 😁 thanks S 😁
How was it compared to bsa for pillion.?
Obviously the bsa is more powerful but from a pure two up comfort and handling, I would have to say the triump has more room 😁 thanks Charlie 😁
Mrs is the expert. 👍
I.d be happy to take her on the monkey. No pillion pegs is a minor problem but she could hold on extra tight.😂 Actually saw a couple on a vespa gts and the lady couldn't reach the pegs and was just dangling her legs. I thought they were mad.
Thanks but how tall are you 2?
I am 6 ft 2in and Mrs TAYM is about 5ft 8in i think 🤔 thanks G 😁
what is the total weight of you and your boss! our total weight combined is about 28 st. would the 400 be capable of pulling us etc.
Together we are 25st 😁 I reckon you will be fine so long as you don’t plan on going scratching round the back roads 😁 go and test one two up 😁 I think you will be surprised 😁
thanks@@TAYM
How does it compare to The Rocket? 🤣🤣🤣 Well it looks like Mrs TAYM gives it the nod so TAYM's new garage has to be a Rocket for the summer and a 400x for the winter.
Wouldn’t that be nice 😁 thanks Mike 😁
If you dont Mrs TAYM is there,what would happen if she fell off.
I would realise when my dinner wasn’t ready 😂😂😂 thanks C 😁
Bring back BHP! - and lose the Newton ****ing metres.
I did mention the BHP 😁 thanks P 😁
You are punching mate !
😂😂😂😂 thanks Peter 😁 I know 😂😂😂
Missed by this much....again
😂😂😁
I think 🤔 Mrs TAYM 🦒 should get HER CBT & get that 125 scooter 🛵 or a 125 Monkey 🐒 or GSX125 or that British built 125 Scrambler then progress Licensing System & get 400x.Pity your system isn't like ours & do a Basic Handling Skills Test & then get a bike upto 660cc she'd be able to get 400x straight away unless she wanted 125 first.I did my Basic Handling Skills test on a 225cc bike.
The wise words of Mrs TAYM, I think you've got the green light to buy that winter bike TAYM, but hurry up ,winter's nearly over, and you won't have that excuse! 😉 😅
Enjoy your weekend both of you 👍
Cheers Mel 🍻
Yes, I think it’s the number of hoops that stops her starting 😁
@@TAYM Yeah you have atleast a extra hoop to jump through than us 125cc class.
Never had a girlfriend or wife that would pillion. Lucky man. Much rather this bike than an Enfield. However would choose cb500 over this
Thanks Volt 😁
your granddaughter was impressed with that bike == what about mrs taym ??
😂😂😂😂 thanks SG 😁 you are far smoother than me 😂😂😂

I was gutted I missed out by one day seeing one in Triumph Dealership yesterday.They said they're popular & sold 4 in 10 days to Learners older riders down sizing from heavy lump to 400x & those who just want a lightweight Scrambler that can do it all.HE said that interest is huge & getting a bunch in at end of month.Also said alot of older riders who want a light bike that's capable
of cruising at higher speed & can still hit the gravel are interested & it's a Triumph of course.NZ🇳🇿 has a aging bike population over 45 that make up most riders especially the over 55-75 group.
RR I thought you'd be looking for a mobility scooter next you're getting on a bit.😊😊
@@daintree2455 Yeah my body is atleast 10yrs older than my age after that accident & arthritic back.
Perhaps a trike in a few years.
2 stroke mobility scooter you reckon😂🤣.
@@ruahinesrider what a great idea 2 stroke mobility scooter smoke keep the mozzies away as i go down the pub. If we had 2 stroke mobility scooters it would be just a blue haze in some coastal retirement towns Australia and Orewa NZ.
@@daintree2455 Ahhh the smell of 2 stroke.Would'nt want to drive into the supermarket hahaha😁😆😂🤣.
How can you abuse a young lady like that with your stable🤔
😂😂😂😂 thanks Paul 😁
