2027 Bonneville T40
- Thread starter Arsey
- Start date
I rode the 400 scrambler which I think shares the same engine as this. The bike had a surprising amount of acceleration for a 400 and quite easily achieved motorway speeds (about 6,000rpm = 70mph) but it was obviously more at home on A and B roads.
It would be interesting to know how much the T40 will weigh, the Scrambler was about 180kg.

The new T40 is 191 kgs compared to 179 kgs Scrambler 400
What a cracking looking bike. Don’t underestimate the ability of a mid sized engine. I commuted for years on a 300cc Vespa including substantial bits of motorway. For someone who wants a lighter, smaller bike this is going to be great. Lots of competition though.
How on earth can a 2026 400cc single be heavier than a 1970s 400/4 from Honda? (c185kg wet apparently)
It does look nice but I reckon a manufacturer who can bang out a 150/160kg 400/500 for older riders would be on a winner.

I can see the merit in growing the 400 segment, but why do Triumph insist on misusing & abusing the historic Bonneville moniker.
Can't they use just a little imagination to reflect the T40 roots ......... Chakan, Pune or Maharashtra?

I’m sure as part of the A2 certification there has to be a relationship between weight and power. Hence higher weight.
Minimum weight for a 47bhp bike is 175 kg. So surely this could be significantly lighter, as it is well below 47 bhp.
I think it looks pretty good though.
191Kg?
My MT09 is only 194Kg!
"They were going to make it out of concrete but found that metal was heavier".

Like the looks of that, could be tempted to go for the matching pair 
I looked at it and thought Tiger Cub
