Totally agree, haven’t had a mistake picking this bike as my 1st motorcycle. Very fun bike to ride and can easily filter even in the worst traffic. As a new rider with zero experience with even smaller cc bikes, I made the trident as my very first learner bike and was able to managed it and learn to ride safely with it and eventually get there to having fun with it every time I rode it 🎉😅
Up to date one of the best videos regarding Trident 660! 😁 soo fun to watch and I just LOVE your comments and a sense of humor (she screeeeams) I burst into laughter myself! And that enthusiasm, must love it, like a kid in a toy shop, totally can relate! 😝🤩😜😁 Thank you for making my day! 😉
@@WxM3008WxM I think the official name for it is burnt orange. It’s my favourite colour too. Pity it’s matt though, I much prefer a gloss shine ✨ 👀🏍️❤️👍
England is a tiny country so this bike is easily big enough. As soon as you hit the ton in your country you’re already in the Ocean, lol. So yes this bike is more than ample. Cheers.
I don't understand while most reviewers, you included pretend and mention a million times how great this is as a beginner bike. In my book, 250cc-400cc are beginner bikes. At 650cc a true beginner will get themself in trouble in a hurry. Why not hightlight for what it really is, a great option in the crowded 650-850cc class with obvious stand out features like the low weight, nimbleness and amazing soundtrack.
Why would you have an underpowered bike when you’ve just done your practicing and test on a 650cc machine? Adding 10cc is hardly going to be a problem for you? Makes perfect sense 🤷🏼♂️
Bro it’s beginners for Superbike, we all have and still riding 100 to 350cc bikes, 650 can be beginner for people who wants to own a superbike. I hav owned 150cc, then 350cc, now i own trident 660 and still its under powered for me in the country like india. So yes it can be a beginner’s motorcycle.
@@parthpatra5122 I suppose it depends on where you live, what the motorcycle culture is like and what people’s expectations are. In the UK, most people want a bigger bike when they pass their test. For the main test here (A) you have to do your training on (I think) a machine with minimum 600 or 650 cc.
I agree. I used to have a street triple 675 and before that a yamaha FZ6. The trident is wonderful. I love it dearly. I'm short 5 ft 5 and so it suits me. As a biker of over 15 years, id never say this was a be beginner bike. I also get around 56mpg. I would dnot be without my quick shifter or my puig screen which makes a massive difference
This bike can be ridden spiritedly, but it has fantastic manners for newer riders. My wife just bought one. Here’s my take. Not all beginners are the same. Some people should NEVER ride. A quick learner could easily make a trident their first bike. It has a sleepy throttle off idle, and it feels like it weighs nothing. My wife whips this bike around like I’ve never seen her do on other bikes.
Subbed!! I got this over street triple because it was 5,000usd less and apr rates were 2% on this as opposed to 9% on the 765. I thought same thing, a slow 765 that i would trade next year… i was wrong, this thing is fun as heck, the corner exit on this is hilariously fun! The short gearing adds to the fun!
I love it when people who ride bigger bikes jump on something like this and realise what the rest of us are enjoying. When you going to sell the GS then?😂 Great review btw, love the enthusiasm.
I couldn’t sell my GS, I still love the thrill of riding that beast. If I had the money though, I’d definitely have a Trident for commuting and fun days on the twisties! 👍👍👍🏍️
What I missed in the 70s!! I grew up in New England with your little twisties riding Commandos then a Ducati 750 Sport. These bikes were Super bikes at low 60s for horsepower. This Trident would be unthinkable in the day! Alas, I’m in the Rocky Mountain West. Vast open spaces. I’m riding a Tiger 900 and that’s barely adequate.
So I wasn't crazy; this bike is very quick on acceleration. I used to ride big 1000cc bikes many years ago but I never had as much fun as when I ride this little gem. I don't own one but I have occasional access to one. This bike will actually start lifting the front wheel off of the ground in 1st gear when you get on it some, even in rain mode and even during its break-in period without exceeding 7,000 rpms and even without using full throttle. It's an amazing little bike and I would even chose it over the more powerful CB650, just for the lower rpm flat torque curve and its amazing exhaust note and 3 cylinder engine sound.
You have to find yourself a girlfriend with a daughter who owns a Trident 660 and then, you'll have access to one almost anytime you want. There, I've revealed my secret Triumph Trident access modal, it works! 😋😋😋
Looks like a great bike and one I would consider my only reservation is the new Street Triple R. triumph website configurator specked as I would there was only £1400 difference in price. If purchasing with PCP I would guess the difference would be minimal. The £1400 would buy you 40hp, IMU lean sensitive riding aids, aluminium frame etc….. for newer riders the STR can be limited to 100 hp with the rider modes and unlocked with more experience.
@@motomogul indeed it does… the thing I think is odd at the moment is that bikes aimed at new riders aren’t equipped with cornering ABS. If anyone is likely to panic break mid corner it’s going to be a new inexperienced rider. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next generation Trident will have it
Great revue really enjoyed it👍. I wanted to buy the tiger 660 but there is no cruise control or an option to fit it. Would have been Ideal for me being an older rider who likes to tour.
Thanks Eric. I’m reviewing the Tiger 660 soon, I didn’t know it didn’t have cruise control. Pretty stupid on a touring bike. I would have thought it’s an easy thing to put on it too with the electronic throttle. 🤷🏼♂️
@@motomogul It appears it`s not possible with the type of electronic ignition it uses, with all the comments that have been made about the lack of cruise control you would have thought Triumph would have done something about it but no they haven`t ,it`s their way or no way ,pity it would have been a major success.😞
@@eman19487 Absolutely, they’ve adopted the same approach to the Rally Pro by making a really tall bike. They really need to address their intransigence towards potential customers. Must be costing a fortune.
I went to a Triumph event last year and tried the Tiger sport 660, if you ever get to try that you should! It made me question if you need all the latest and greatest that cost £13k plus.
That’s my next ride from Triumph Barry. I’m really looking forward to it. Triumph has to be my favourite bike manufacturer at the moment, they’re producing some amazing stuff 👍
The Trident is an example of why people say triples are somewhere in between twins and inline 4s. The best of both worlds, somewhat, coz all of its torque is easily accessible in the lower RPM range (4000rpm) while all of its horses show themselves in the last 2000 of its 10000rpm range. Wife loves it. The newer T-plane triples are a bit closer to twins - my T850 makes almost all of its torque under 3000rpm and literally runs out of puff after 7500rpm, well short of its 10000rpm limit (to differentiate itself from the T900 that ekes out 10 more horses in that region). I'm too old to be revving the tits off my bike anyway.

@Moto Mogul think it is 500cc
Very very good.
I have One White in Florence Italy.
The moto trident Is fantastic .
Thanks for your nice video
Thanks Renato, safe riding buddy 👍👍👍🏍️
Fantastic video I took a demo one out and absolutely loved it loads of fun I found it handles really nice. Stay safe 🇬🇧👍

For riding in the UK especially, these smaller capacity bikes do make more sense. Easier and dare I say, better at almost everything. 👍
You need to get out more Jack🤣, great bike, I’d have one in the garage next to my Multi👍
I’d definitely have one. I loved it 😍
Absolutely beautiful bike just can’t wait until Saturday to pick mine up (in Orange ) ,great fun review 😂❤
Enjoy your new bike James 😍👍👍👍😎
Many thanks, turning 60 next year this is my first proper bike I just hope it’s not too fast.
@james-iw8ky It will shift when you go heavy with the right hand but you can ride it sedately. You’re going to love it. Let me know how you get on? 👍
