I was pleasantly surprised to learn about Khivraj Whitefield a few days later \u2013 given the proximity to my office, I couldn\u2019t resist and went in for a test drive.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure was fairly seamless \u2013 needed to show my DL, scan a QR, and fill out the test ride form. Shoes and pants were mandatory (unlike beloved Keerthi, no demand for \u201cjeans only\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>And now, coming to the bike itself \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Despite being 75kg heavier than my scooter, I felt no difficulty at all while pushing it, taking it off the stand, turning, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Being 5\u201911, I didn\u2019t feel any major issues with the low seat, at least on the short test drive.<\/li>\n<li>The rearview mirrors felt small compared to my scooter but I guess it\u2019s manageable since they are bar end.<\/li>\n<li>The bike starts moving very smoothly when the clutch is released.<\/li>\n<li>However, I could not for the life of me figure out how to smoothly engage the throttle is applied \u2013 I always felt a jerk as the gear engaged \u2013 could be my noobishness rearing its head.<\/li>\n<li>To summarize the performance in one sentence \u2013 The bike doesn\u2019t roll, it flies. I couldn\u2019t believe just how fast I was able to pick up speed and overtake. Then again this was my first proper solo bike ride, so I guess the novelty will wear off.<\/li>\n<li>The fan is pretty loud and I felt a hot blast of air on my left leg. I suppose some heating is to be expected on all bikes, but idk if it should be felt that strongly. Probably need to test drive a KTM 390 ADV and see<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, I liked the engine \u2013 and am eagerly waiting for a chance to TD the Scrambler 400X, as that might be better suited to my height.<\/p>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/burgman-street-125-owner-test-drives-triumph-speed-400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>To summarize the performance in one sentence \u2013 The bike doesn\u2019t roll, it flies BHPian Carfool_Wheeler recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
