Hello there Graybeard
My wife keeps me clean shaving but I think beards are just fine !

Hay , I was looking at the pair of Triumph 400cc bike too ! They look good and are plenty of HP but the Torque figures are not much more than the RE 350 bikes.
That being said , the RE 350 Hunter is a really low price machine and doesn't have the Speed-Limiter like the rest of the 350cc line-up.
I've put the DNA air-intake , the 20% increase CAM , and the Free-Flow Exaust on mine and turned the 21HP into about 25-26HP , but it's still a 350cc / 55-65mph / cruiser . It will do 74mph before the LIMITER or a HILL gets in the way. But I wouldn't Hesitate to take it on any long adventure ridding along at 65mph , its geared to red-line(6100rpm) 5th gear about 90-95mph. Oh , there the thing about MPG , I usually get between 80 to 90 mpg. ridding locally. I call it my Zen Bike .

I also have the Big Brother to this one , The 650cc Super Meteor ... its an Eight thousand dollar , 50hp-ish , 500 pound-ish - bike with a seat long enough for 2.5 people my size , its my "WE" bike .

I'm sure I'd get along with the Triumph 400cc bikes just as well , but they might be a little bit harder on the wallet ?
