Being invited by Triumph, you've made the big time! People are going to bang on about comparing it with the CB650R and the MT07 but the GSX-S750 is currently selling at £7,249. Having test ridden the GSX-S750 with its 112bhp it's the bike I'd buy right now.
Technically that bike isn't in the same sector. All the other bikes are under 95bhp and can be A2 restricted. Personally, I can't stand the looks of the Suzuki naked range other than the SV which looks pretty cool.
@@StereotypedFilms It's RELIABLE (caps on purpose), has more than enough power and torque for the street, and traction control. What is lacking there, cause i see mostly pros ? No TFT ? Look at the road. I wouldn't even look at Trident if i was to buy a naked around that price. Looks are subjective, therefore not an argument in any discussion.
If only more people remembered the gsx-s 750😢 it might be possible to one day find one on the used market. I don't like the street fighter naked styling in general, but of all the alternatives (kawi, Yamaha, Honda f naked and worst of all KTM) the Suzuki was clearly the best looking.
The clarity of this video test ride is the best around! You can hear the triple running, the view, the narration isn't intrusive, everything done right! By the way I think triples made by triumph will be the in the limelight in2021, together with tiger 850 sport. Best motorcycles!
Wow - an invite to the press launch of the most talked about bike of the year! Testament to your excellent work on TH-cam! I don't know why but I can't get excited about this bike yet. Personal taste but I don't like the livery for starters. Maybe I will warm to it when reviews on UK roads start to appear. But in the meantime, thanks for posting your first thoughts. Hope you had a blast out in Tenerife!
Beautiful test. I watched plenty of them acc. to the new Trident, but yours gave me the best impression how it may feel to drive this bike. Chapeau and many thanks! 😊👏
Hey Dan, really on the fence choosing between this and the CB650R! Could you make a comparison video or give your thoughts on which one is the better choice and more value for money!
@@Englishbikerdan Just watched the whole thing, thank you! P.S Glad to see Motobob there, I like both your styles of reviewing. Looking forward to the CB650 comp. Cheers!
I'd by the Triump but the cb650r has 4 pot radial mounted calipers. I hate the 2 pot sliding on the triumph. They stick and bind over time. There's no place for them on this level of bike. Even the cheaper suzuki sv has 4 pots. Even the ladies z650 I believe. . The CB is technically better but the inline 4 lacks character of the triple and twins of its rivals.
@@wilsonpereira5629 skip MT, not worth the money in 2020. Go for this MC if you've got the cash. However, I don't usually recommend new bikes to beginners. CB650 is awesome, esp if you can find a used one in good condition. Do take an experienced rider with you when you go to buy a second-hand one.
I like mt07 overall , shame they didnt upgrade the electronics ... I still dont know the price of the new mt 2021, if same price its 1000€ or more ( in portugal) cheaper ... then we have maintenance and from what i hear its also more expensive comparing to yamaha or honda.... i srsly dont know ... i am not doing much miles per year and its going to last a few years... just for weekends and at week to work ( its only 6kms 😅 )
Hi Dan, really cool of Triumph to invite you to this! Binge watched a lot of your videos over the last few months before finally receiving my license and buying a bike. Hope you had a lot of fun, you deserve it, content and production is always great 😄
Great review Dan, looks like you had some lovely roads in Tenerife. Glad you liked the bike and your review certainly helps other riders looking for this type of bike. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Style is superb - hats off Triumph. That red accent is a beaut. Made a very big statement to this category. The CB650R handles excellently and sounds phenomenal at the top end of the revs. I’m still happy with my 650, however this bike would have thrown a spanner in the works. Thanks for the review Dan 👌🏍👌
Liked the review and the timing is brilliant as I just passed my test on Friday. Was going to Honda dealer to see CB650R but looks like I will need to go to Triumph now too. Decisions decisions. 😀
Great to see you invited out to the launch. This shows that you're being taken seriously as a reviewer. Good honest review of what at this stage looks like the new class leader. Definitely one for me to testride next year.
Spectacular that Triumph has decided to make its presentation on the island of Tenerife, as many other brands have already done. Our landscapes and roads, a world reference for the world of motorcycles! Thank you so much for your video!
Hi Dan, just a few questions . Can you put a tail tidy on under the rear light and can you put a screen on it and what are different types of trident like the rs on the street tripel thanks again great vid
Hey, not sure on the tail tidy but I am sure a 3rd party will make something. Yes, you can put a screen on it but no other runmours of different versions at present.
Well done review as always. I will be very interested on your back to back with your Honda, let's hope you get a Trident quickly? Kudos to you Dan for getting the invite to the test. I'm really interested in the Trident, being an MT07 rider and previous Street triple RS owner.
Watched your and other reviews on the Trident and went up to Triumph’s Newcastle dealership and placed a deposit the following day. Spec’d it up a little and it came in at £8.5k but you get a lot of bike and tech for that money. Two weeks yet to wait for it, it’s like Christmas when I was a kid 😂 Exciting stuff!!
It was this video that made me fall in love with a Trident and propelled me to get my license and buy one 😀 if you ever come to sunny algarve let's go for a pint!
Great review Dan, excellent quality. At 56, In September I decided I wanted motorbike so within 6 weeks I managed to take all the tests and so close to buying the XSR700 Tribute when our second lockdown happened in the UK and all of the shops closed. A day later Triumph launched this and has completely blown me away. I've lost track of how many videos of motorbikes I've watched over the last 6 weeks! I'm surprised more test riders don't compare the Trident to the XSR700, to which I think it looks closer too, than the MT07? I'm 6 foot tall with a 30 inch inside leg measurement (so not long legs) and 16 stone. So I hope the Trident would be ok for me? I have a deposit on one and can't wait to try it.
I’m in the exact same boat. I had my eyes set on the XSR for nearly 6 months until this came out. Now I think I have shifted my eyes to purchase the trident instead. The only let down for me is that I absolutely love the exhaust sound of the XSR with an after market pipe.
@@Tybward I'm not so bothered about that as you can hardly hear it when you've got your helmet on. The only other thing is that you can guarantee that they will be bringing out a Euro 5 compliant version of the XSR700 at some point next year? It might still not have the features of the Trident though as the MT07 didn't have anything new on it.
Cheers! While I agree in terms of looks it is closer to the XSR, the MT07 is the King of the middleweight nakeds at the moment and that's what the Trident is going for. I can't say about anyone's height other than my own as we are all different shapes and sizes. However there were taller people on the launch and I don't remember them saying anything negative about the riding comfort or position.
I'm 62 and have been riding bikes since I was thirteen. I worked in the motorcycle industry for many years and love bikes. I don't have one now because I don't really want one and don't get excited by them much. BUT.... This bike is making my wallet wobble!
same with me , i'm 63 still riding , got a k1600 gtl right now , thats the bit that makes me feel so old , i dropped it in the gravel and finally found that i am too damn old to get it back on its wheels by myself, but i am not yet ready to go down to the 600 class, still way too many others i want to try, maybe when i reach my seventies...........
ainda é cedo pra te arreppenderes , eu tbm foi de mt 07 e no sinto isso, logico q vai haver sempre outras , mas pelo que vejo no youtube e no só a mt 07 é boa , e tem fiabilidade creio q bem comprovada, e duvido que esta trinph venda as mesmas unidades q a 07 ja vendeu e q ainda ira vender, a simplicidade da 07 pode ate ser um trunfo,..e mais , ainda no vimos duelos das 2 ,.. pode tbm ser supresa ,.. a mt 07 tem 6,9 kg de torq e a trident 6,4kg, mas tbm tem mais 5cv,mas sera que anda mais !? ou mais rapida ? ou sera quase a mesma coisa,..lol kkkk pelo preço da 07 (7,300 euros ) duvido que se compra algo melhor
Again a really good review from Dan The Man 💪 Don’t ever change, mate ! Must say I like this black model much more than the silver one with the red bits, I’m a big Triumph fan so I’m really looking forward to take a testride with this Trident 🤩 Don’t think I’ll switch my Street Triple RS for it 😅
Hoping I could get the Trident 660 here in the Philippines and also hope it to perform well in the environment. Great Video & love the clear commentary audio while riding!
Hey, nice to see you got invited to the press launch! You do great videos man, let's hope this becomes a regular thing and that the channel keeps growing :D
I like the grey and red colour scheme. I do like the way the bike handles. Looks really planted, definitely going to be competing with the big boys. Would like to see what it’s like in comparison between your CB650R. Good seeing you again Dan. Bring on the next lot of videos 👍🏻
Excellent review. THIS TRIDENT looks great in all aspects - looks, performance,dynamics ,pricing and will ser the sales charts on fire for Triumph. Affordable( yet Top quality) fun biking at its best...
Thank you for the video. I've watched several videos of vloggers that were there with you but you managed to convince me to drop the MT07 for the Trident. I currently have the MT03 but am looking to move up.
I will hopefully get my A license in a couple of weeks when I have my driving test and really looking forward to get and test drive this and the cbr 650r as they are both bikes I really like and want 😅
I really like the look of this bike and the seat height and weight are also a plus for me. Thanks for the video can’t wait to see you’re in-depth review on it.
What a beautiful road and destination. I got caught up with looking through the corner and anticipating the next dip in the road. That is why I ride. I am the road warrior. Otherwise great review!
we are so spoiled for having such good options for "affordable" bikes "begginer" bikes. As a hardcore daily biker of a 300cc scooter and a sv650 2005 (with b1200 and cb500 as background) i feel this "begginer" motors are incredibly fast for average biker and faster than you will ever need on public roads if you value your life. If i was going to buy a new bike, i would go crazy with so many options. Trident, hornet, mt07, sv650, suzuki 8s....i think i would close my eyes and choose even though my heart tends to the sv650, i bike i can work on with my eyes closed
I don't think it was as it did it at the hotel too. It seems to be a very gentle throttle curve at low rpm so as not to intimidate new riders. This was however a pre-production bike so it may have changed since. I'll be getting a Trident for a few weeks at the end of the month so I'll find out then. Cheers.
Damn what nice roads in Spain. The frost-heaved backroads here in Eastern Canada will have you quickly shifting your weight to the foot-pegs. The new Trident is a perfect bike for real-world riding and who cares about 200 hp bikes you can't use unless you own a race-track. Still my 2010 Triumph STR 675 has an unbelievable sound from the intake and Arrow 3-1 exhaust. Even at 60,000 kms it is faster than new.
do vs CB650R video? jealous you get to test ride it. In Thailand we got to wait until Feb 2021 until first batch of Trident arrives. It is priced exactly same as CB650R here. People are arguing that a Triumph should cost more for service vs a Honda, any thoughts? Also, how are the suspensions and the brakes? Aren't they almost or exact same as the CB ?
Thank you for a visually stunning and interesting review. My only criticism is that you mention the riding position/comfort of your legs and reach to the ground - useful only to anyone of the same height (whatever that is))
Great review. Bye the way I think "micro-climates" are one of the reasons why I enjoy riding although looking at the moisture on your tires at the end of the video I can say that rain is a micro-climate I can do without (especially if it's accompanied by lightning).
As a CB650R owner, I am looking forward to your comparison video between the Trident and the CB650R. I am having a thought of getting the Trident when it is available in my country next year. I have never own a triple before and I love the sound of Inline 4, so it will be a hard decision. I decided to put an Akrapovic Racing Line Titan Carbon tip without the DB killer on my CB650R after watching your review video a year ago!
Nice to see a manufacturer recommending service intervals of 10,000 miles, for years we have been forced to waste our money on unnecessary services to validate warranties 👍👍
That's a nice bike, nice place and nice review. It's a shame this is not a very affordable bike in my country. I have a question though, why don't you blip during downshifts? I feel its a little harsh on the bike, even with an assited (Im assuming) clutch. Take care!!
I don't rev match or blip if I want to employ some engine breaking to help slow the bike down into a corner. Thanks for watching, it was a fantastic weekend in Tenerife! 👍
DAN GREAT VIDEO. Long time sub here. I currently ride a CBR 250R and am looking to upgrade next summer. Ive had my eye on the CB650R since it came out and have wanted one since it launched. HOWEVER. THIS TRIPLE IS VERY TEMPTING. I NEED ADVICE ON WHICH TO GET LOL. They cost the exact same in Canada so price is not a factor! What do you think? More grunt down low wit hthe Triumph, or More powert up high with the CB? Help me make up my mind!
I have to say, this is the first review of Trident where the camera has a nice position and I can see the speed and gear you are in. I was wondering if anyone will show 1st gear challenge, but unfortunately not. I see 2nd gear goes up to 90km/h (~56mph) and 3rd gear up to ~120km/h (~75mph). If this torque is really as good as they say at low rpm...it may be a decent city commuter. But that throttle lag slightly worries me, a few people already mentioned it.
Apparently the throttle lag is to make it friendly for new riders. It's only down low that I noticed it and when you get going it was a lot better. Still, I would have like the option of a 'sport' mode to reduce it.
@@Englishbikerdan Lets say you are in 2nd gear, cruising with traffic ~10-15mph. You see a gap cage man left you and you want to swiftly just wrummm, jump in before he will understand what's happened. Will that lag throttle kick in? Will your acceleration be affected?
Hello Sir.I am looking to get bigger bike so i have to choose between trident 660 or duke 390.I try to explain what i want from these and if you can give me your thoughts i will appreciate. - % 90 of the time riding in city - Riding in all conditions of a year - I am 6.1"and 220 pounds - I drive like a hooligan(hooning) most of the time without disturbing other peoples. Greetings.
Loved the narration and the overall feel of the video. Qne question, do you see this becoming a good touring option for people who can accessorize the bike to suit that purpose? In terms of overall long distance comfort and reliability too
Thanks! I see no issues with touring on this bike, I found it more comfortable than my own CB650R! Reliability remains to be seen but Triumph seems to have spent a lot of time engineering it into the bike. Cheers!
@@Englishbikerdan Thanks. I am hoping to get a test ride, once they officially launch this bike in India. Awaiting your detailed review on this one, please cover the touring aspects of the bike as well when you do.
If you liked this video I'd appreciate it if you liked and subscribed. It really helps the channel out! Ride safe. 👍
I'm 55 years old and a newbie to riding motorcycles. I'm getting one!
Good luck,safe trips and enjoy it ;)
Safe rides! Enjoy the thrill!

Being invited by Triumph, you've made the big time! People are going to bang on about comparing it with the CB650R and the MT07 but the GSX-S750 is currently selling at £7,249. Having test ridden the GSX-S750 with its 112bhp it's the bike I'd buy right now.
Technically that bike isn't in the same sector. All the other bikes are under 95bhp and can be A2 restricted. Personally, I can't stand the looks of the Suzuki naked range other than the SV which looks pretty cool.
Good point. GSX-S750 it's a rock-solid bike. And as long as it is around 7k price point it should be counted as a competitor.
@@StereotypedFilms It's RELIABLE (caps on purpose), has more than enough power and torque for the street, and traction control. What is lacking there, cause i see mostly pros ? No TFT ? Look at the road. I wouldn't even look at Trident if i was to buy a naked around that price. Looks are subjective, therefore not an argument in any discussion.
Gsx-s is still one of the best riding bikes, because it's based on the legendary GSXR750
If only more people remembered the gsx-s 750😢 it might be possible to one day find one on the used market. I don't like the street fighter naked styling in general, but of all the alternatives (kawi, Yamaha, Honda f naked and worst of all KTM) the Suzuki was clearly the best looking.
The clarity of this video test ride is the best around! You can hear the triple running, the view, the narration isn't intrusive, everything done right! By the way I think triples made by triumph will be the in the limelight in2021, together with tiger 850 sport. Best motorcycles!
Thank you very much. They certainly are fun and have great character.
So far the best triumph trident pre launch test ride. Best presentation, narration and feature of the bike riding. Cheers mate!
Much appreciated!
Wow - an invite to the press launch of the most talked about bike of the year! Testament to your excellent work on TH-cam! I don't know why but I can't get excited about this bike yet. Personal taste but I don't like the livery for starters. Maybe I will warm to it when reviews on UK roads start to appear. But in the meantime, thanks for posting your first thoughts. Hope you had a blast out in Tenerife!
Kudos to Triumph for not only making such a great bike, but also for the affordable price in this competitive market.
Nice review as always. Great to see you're getting now getting invites out to launches by the big names too, congrats!

What a beautiful road and destination. I got caught up with looking through the corner and anticipating the next dip in the road. That is why I ride. I am the road warrior. Otherwise great review!
we are so spoiled for having such good options for "affordable" bikes "begginer" bikes. As a hardcore daily biker of a 300cc scooter and a sv650 2005 (with b1200 and cb500 as background) i feel this "begginer" motors are incredibly fast for average biker and faster than you will ever need on public roads if you value your life. If i was going to buy a new bike, i would go crazy with so many options. Trident, hornet, mt07, sv650, suzuki 8s....i think i would close my eyes and choose even though my heart tends to the sv650, i bike i can work on with my eyes closed
Were you able to test out the bluetooth connectivity to test navigation, for example? If so, how was it?
There were no accessories available for us to test.
ive watched some other people review this bike but i was waiting for yours and motobob's. so excited for this bike
I wonder if the "Lag" you spoke of at the end might be due to the altitude you guys were riding at .. :)
I don't think it was as it did it at the hotel too. It seems to be a very gentle throttle curve at low rpm so as not to intimidate new riders. This was however a pre-production bike so it may have changed since. I'll be getting a Trident for a few weeks at the end of the month so I'll find out then. Cheers.
Damn what nice roads in Spain. The frost-heaved backroads here in Eastern Canada will have you quickly shifting your weight to the foot-pegs. The new Trident is a perfect bike for real-world riding and who cares about 200 hp bikes you can't use unless you own a race-track. Still my 2010 Triumph STR 675 has an unbelievable sound from the intake and Arrow 3-1 exhaust. Even at 60,000 kms it is faster than new.
Love the sound from the S-Triple!
Great vid been waiting for this! How do you think it would fit a lanky legged 6ft1 new rider?
Beautiful video, What Is your camera?
Thank you! Gopro hero 7 and Sony A6300 for B roll.
Hey Dan. Would you please make a comparison video between the Trident and Cb650r.
Watch till the end 😊
Subbed. Im looking into getting a CB650R this spring but now this thing arrived. Looking very much forward to you comparing these two.
This is the bike I have been most excited for, such a stunning bike in every way
Hey mate, if you compare this bike to its Japanese rival which better bike?
Jealous, i have my test drive booked next year. Beautiful bike. Be nice addition to my CB650R
How did the test ride go? How was it in comparison to your cb650r? Thanks
@@henrylund1577 It was cancelled due to covid :( still waiting to hear when i can
@@SteveOMoo Please keep is posted, I'm really interested to see how they compare
Very nice review, i also have the CB650R and i cant wait for your comparison. I'm also interested in getting this one, bike looks so good..
Does that engine sound wear after a while?
Damn that's a nice bike, more than fast enough for me. Congrats on the launch ride, you lucky chap,
I'm 71 and bought a trident 670 been riding the big stuff ally life I like it I call it my mopad....
Great review & sounds gorgeous when given the berries. Riding those roads was like a 'dodge the cyclist' arcade game!
Which one would you prefer between trident 660 and Honda cb650r. And pls give some insight on kawasaki z650??
Incredible production value.
This bike is beautiful . For me? Yeah. Dan , cool review, good job 👏
Excellent review Dan. Looks like you had great fun in the sun.😁
Any aftermarket slip on exhausts for this yet?
Can I ask how tall you are? I’m 5’8 and wondering if I’ll be able to get both feet down. This is at the top of my list for my first bike
Been waiting to see this 🤙
Awesome bike and dope review ! cheers Dan !
How do you find it compares against the cb650r in general Dan?
I reckon it will be between these two bikes for my first big bike
production quality is increasing, keep it up
Thanks for the ride and I would like to ask, what is the maximum speed we can achieve on this bike.......
I'd guess around 130 mph.
Great bike looks like. Gen 1 makes me hesitate
do vs CB650R video? jealous you get to test ride it. In Thailand we got to wait until Feb 2021 until first batch of Trident arrives. It is priced exactly same as CB650R here. People are arguing that a Triumph should cost more for service vs a Honda, any thoughts?
Also, how are the suspensions and the brakes? Aren't they almost or exact same as the CB ?
Thank you for a visually stunning and interesting review. My only criticism is that you mention the riding position/comfort of your legs and reach to the ground - useful only to anyone of the same height (whatever that is))
What is the ground clearance on this machine?
Great review. Bye the way I think "micro-climates" are one of the reasons why I enjoy riding although looking at the moisture on your tires at the end of the video I can say that rain is a micro-climate I can do without (especially if it's accompanied by lightning).
As a CB650R owner, I am looking forward to your comparison video between the Trident and the CB650R. I am having a thought of getting the Trident when it is available in my country next year. I have never own a triple before and I love the sound of Inline 4, so it will be a hard decision. I decided to put an Akrapovic Racing Line Titan Carbon tip without the DB killer on my CB650R after watching your review video a year ago!
What a surprise , didn't expect , great video 👍🙏😀🎃🚴
Hi great stuff.
What hight are you ?
Nice to see a manufacturer recommending service intervals of 10,000 miles, for years we have been forced to waste our money on unnecessary services to validate warranties 👍👍
Great video.... What's the ground clearance on this though?
About 6 inches.
@@Englishbikerdan thank you
That's a nice bike, nice place and nice review. It's a shame this is not a very affordable bike in my country.
I have a question though, why don't you blip during downshifts? I feel its a little harsh on the bike, even with an assited (Im assuming) clutch.
Take care!!
I don't rev match or blip if I want to employ some engine breaking to help slow the bike down into a corner. Thanks for watching, it was a fantastic weekend in Tenerife! 👍
Great review Dan! Beautiful bike!
DAN GREAT VIDEO. Long time sub here. I currently ride a CBR 250R and am looking to upgrade next summer. Ive had my eye on the CB650R since it came out and have wanted one since it launched. HOWEVER. THIS TRIPLE IS VERY TEMPTING. I NEED ADVICE ON WHICH TO GET LOL.
They cost the exact same in Canada so price is not a factor!
What do you think? More grunt down low wit hthe Triumph, or More powert up high with the CB? Help me make up my mind!
Very skilled rider. Impressive scenery and a heavenly road!
Not sure about skilled but the road was amazing! Thanks!
Great video nice bike stay safe looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍🏻
Hi Dan. would you say it's as fast as the MT07? Thanks.
It felt not quite as brutal low down but had more up towards the top, to me at least.
I have to say, this is the first review of Trident where the camera has a nice position and I can see the speed and gear you are in. I was wondering if anyone will show 1st gear challenge, but unfortunately not. I see 2nd gear goes up to 90km/h (~56mph) and 3rd gear up to ~120km/h (~75mph). If this torque is really as good as they say at low rpm...it may be a decent city commuter. But that throttle lag slightly worries me, a few people already mentioned it.
Apparently the throttle lag is to make it friendly for new riders. It's only down low that I noticed it and when you get going it was a lot better. Still, I would have like the option of a 'sport' mode to reduce it.
@@Englishbikerdan Lets say you are in 2nd gear, cruising with traffic ~10-15mph. You see a gap cage man left you and you want to swiftly just wrummm, jump in before he will understand what's happened. Will that lag throttle kick in? Will your acceleration be affected?
@@hosuyakawayazuki That's not what I experienced no. It's literally just off the line stuff.
For a 6 foot height person, would the Trident be on the small/cramped side?
Is there any vibration at the handlebars or foot?
someone please tell me where is this road in uk??
Hello Sir.I am looking to get bigger bike so i have to choose between trident 660 or duke 390.I try to explain what i want from these and if you can give me your thoughts i will appreciate.
- % 90 of the time riding in city
- Riding in all conditions of a year
- I am 6.1"and 220 pounds
- I drive like a hooligan(hooning) most of the time without disturbing other peoples.
Greetings.
Trident feels like a more powerful 390 Duke in some ways. Excellent handling on both. You can really go wrong with either!
Great video . Thanks for all the detsils☺️ I ordered one and it should be arriving in Feb/March☺️ may I ask how tall you are?
Thank you, all my details are in the video description as I get asked a lot. Enjoy the bike when it comes out! 👍
@@Englishbikerdan yes. Thank you...missed the last part :-)
So do you think there will be an RS version with the Street Triple 765 RS engine, brakes and suspension?
I would say probably not. Not anytime soon at least.
For me the question is more like: this or a used xsr900? 🤔
Triumph anyday
That has quite a bit more power! So more appropriate to compare the 700 I think.
Loved the narration and the overall feel of the video. Qne question, do you see this becoming a good touring option for people who can accessorize the bike to suit that purpose? In terms of overall long distance comfort and reliability too
Thanks! I see no issues with touring on this bike, I found it more comfortable than my own CB650R! Reliability remains to be seen but Triumph seems to have spent a lot of time engineering it into the bike. Cheers!
@@Englishbikerdan Thanks. I am hoping to get a test ride, once they officially launch this bike in India. Awaiting your detailed review on this one, please cover the touring aspects of the bike as well when you do.
