Triumph 400 Scrambler vs Speed; an unexpected opportunity for a back to back comparison.

Taking my Triumph 400X Scrambler for its first service, Chiang Rai Triumph kindly offered me a Triumph 400 Speed to test ride, providing an opportunity for a direct comparison. The moment I sat on the Speed, I was amazed at how much it differed from the Scrambler, and the more I rode it, the more differences became apparent, most strikingly, the size; the Scrambler has a higher seat height and a more spacious cockpit, achieved through different handlebars and footrests. I also realised a few things I had previously not been aware of, such as how Triumph lengthen the wheelbase, the difference between the front forks and how the trail is altered.
So, for anyone wondering which model is most suitable for them, I offer my thoughts and observations.
