Power Honda – 20.78 bhp Triumph Speed 400 – 40 PS The main difference in the characteristics of the engine comes from the fact that one is a short-stroke engine and the other is a long-stroke engine. A long-stroke piston has more height and less bore area, whereas the opposite is true for a short-stroke engine. Long-stroke engines cannot achieve high RPMs like short-stroke engines. So, power in short-stroke engines comes from high RPM. Long-stroke engines feel more torquey at low speeds. Generally, most diesel engines are long-stroke engines, and long-stroke engines have good load-carrying capacity, but in motorcycles, towing capacity is not something that is very useful. Generally, short-stroke engines have higher peak RPMs and more power. If you want a sporty bike that can accelerate quickly and maintain high speeds, go with the Speed 400. Riding Style If you are more of a relaxed rider, get the Honda. Mileage Because short-stroke engines have more RPM (more combustion cycles), they have lower mileage compared to long-stroke engines. If you are looking for mileage, get the Honda. My Speed 400 gives around 20 km/l, and the Honda gives around 35 km/l. Weight Management The Honda weighs around 180 kg, and the Speed weighs around 176 kg. Even though the Speed has similar weight, because of amazing weight distribution, it feels lighter. The Speed 400 is more agile around corners. Maintenance and Cost of Maintenance Generally, bikes that can do higher RPMs are more expensive to maintain and require more care. The Speed 400 is liquid-cooled and also requires coolant, which adds to maintenance.
