Triumph Speed 400 vs Yamaha MT-03 on track
One standing-start lap of the Ref Ring, our 3.4 km circuit with no home-crowd corners. Every braking point, apex speed and straight is computed from the published specs, so the stopwatch has no favourites.

The Yamaha MT-03 laps the Ref Ring in 1:55.21 on paper, 0.75 seconds quicker than the Triumph Speed 400 at 1:55.95. That gap is worth about 30 metres at the flag, and the biggest single chunk of it, 0.21 s, comes at Spec Sheet Straight.
Through the corners there is nothing between them on paper; this one is decided by power and braking. Top speed goes 157 km/h to 159 km/h. A faster lap is not the same thing as the better buy, which is why the full comparison scores value, practicality and ownership too.
Simulated lap times from published specs with stated assumptions, not measured track data. The circuit is fictional and the physics are listed under the race. Read about both bikes: Triumph Speed 400 and Yamaha MT-03.
