Triumph Speed 400 Price in Dibrugarh

Hey y'all! Figured I'd make a short little post here if at all anyone comes looking for info on the showroom and purchase experience of the Triumph Speed 400.
Some F.Y.I deets here -
* Total price is 2,95,870 INR (Dhanbad on-road, inclusive of the 2k booking charge).
* You need your booking ID receipt, Aadhaar Card and PAN card for the full purchase. That's it.
* If you plan on taking the bike via EMI, you'll have to pay 9.9% interest. Insurance Provider: IFFCO TOKIO
* The Sales Rep didn't give a cost breakdown. When I asked him, he just seemed mildly annoyed and literally wrote some figures on a piece of paper lol. I did some snooping around and was able to find the breakdown on a printed sheet (Road tax is 46,553. Registration charges - 1188. Handling charges - 1500. Insurance - 23,632. Ex-showroom bike cost - 2,23,997
First impressions:
The tank is a lot bigger than what we can perceive via pics/videos and you have to stretch your arms a bit to hold the handlebars.
The instrument cluster is simple and easy to read even when riding.
I'm not so enthusiastic about the bar end mirrors but they do the job well (of providing an excellent rear view)
The bike is supposed to have a 790 mm seat height. Though I was not as flat-footed sitting on it as I had hoped.
The seat is soft and mushy, especially as compared to KTMs. While it feels comfortable at start, I'm not so sure that it will stay comfortable over longer rides.
The bike is 170 kgs and you can feel the weight when riding (especially for me coming from a KTM) but it's pretty flickable in city traffic.
Finally, the engine and power delivery. Though 400 cc and 40 ps but the power delivery felt a bit sluggish and in line with the intended competition for the bike, i.e. the RE Meteor 350 and the Honda H'ness.
I'm sure it will perform better than both these bikes, however I've always been an adrenaline junkie and this bike doesn't produce power in the same aggressive fashion as the KTMs!!
