I’d disregard the opinion that a 350 is too small for you. I think it’s perfect for a first bike, assuming you aren’t wanting to take it on long highway stretches, and you aren’t a big ol baw that weighs a ton. If you’re just using it for fun around town, or out on country roads I think you’d be more than happy with a 350 for your first bike…imho.

Ps, triumph has also released a more beginner friendly bike for the first time in a 400cc engine in the Speed 400 for 5k & a scrambler styled 400 for 5700.

I think they are warning against it because I stated that I might want to take the bike across the lake on the Causeway or to the beach several hours away. In that instance I think they are correct that I would be better off with a bigger bike. BUT I do have some time to think of what I want to do and the use of the bike.

Riding to the beach may not even be feasible considering I have 2 kids and a wife and it would mean them agreeing to drive another car without me. BUT with a smaller bike, maybe we could tow it to the beach and I can ride it up and down 30A once we are there?

IDK. Lots of time to figure it out though.

Just curious, do bikes hold their value as far as trade ins? I am curious because it seems there aren't many used bikes for sale on line. Is there somewhere besides cycle trader I could look?

Everything Triumph has done for the past 10-15 years has been oitstanding. Fit and finish are best in the industry. I have no doubt that these new 400's will be great bikes.
