- Chris has been getting to grips with the Triumph Trident 660 on some bumpy UK roads. Lets see what this thing can actually do!
#triumph #trident #bikeworld
Anyone else out there who could listen to Chris talk about bikes all day long ? 🤣 as already stated great review ! 🤙🏻
Agreed! He’s good at what he does..
And getting better all the time. Best bike reviewer now in my opinion. 👍
Me!
@@masongoss4615 maybe not best, but definitely one of the best.
Count me in too ..
Probably one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen of a bike, Chris is bang on 👍🏼
100%! 👍😎🇦🇺
Brilliant as always! No rubbish, no commercial, just how we need to to hear. Thanks!
Agree..
Great to see a really good rider push this bike down some sketchy UK roads. It's not all hype, this looks a great bike at the right price.
If people learn to park their egos and realise 200bhp is utterly, utterly pointless on our roads, they will be beaming ear to ear on something like this.
Exactly, 200hp is for tracks, specially when after looking at the fact that average motogp track speed is 180kph😃😂. Speak now street rossis...
Totally agree
My K1200R is really REALLY fun tho lol.
to each his own, i'd be no faster on a twisty road with regardless of how much power i have on tap. With that said, power is fun!
I just upgraded from an 08 SV650S to a 23 Trident 660. Now I loved the sv, it taught me a lot, but I can’t overstate how much more FUN the trident is. On paper it is slightly slower 0-60, and lower top speed too I think, but it feels significantly faster than the SV. I learned to stop caring about what’s faster or which has a higher top speed, and go purely on feel alone, the Trident 660 is utter bliss.
Finally, a Trident 660 review that pushes the bike hard. Thank you, Sir!
This is a good review by someone who actually knows what he's talking about, so much better than a on bike review....
Cheers Stephen, we're determined to keep producing the best quality content we can.
This dude is the most Tennessee looking Englishman I've ever seen in my life. Love his reviews too....great work mate!
Haha I was thinking he's the most Aussie looking Englishman I'd seen
Not sure if that’s a compliment or not 😂
@@richfromlondon3254 he’d have to be in prison clothes to look Aussie
It’s a compliment...if it was an insult they would have said, West Virginian, hick, or shit kicker...he looks like yer average decent class, educated working class man who’s drinking on Saturday night to keep church on Sunday morning a little more interesting.
@@kjhardy7218 Ha. Might I add, shooting some guns on the farm Sunday afternoon at the empty beer cans.
I listen to Micheal Neeves to know if a bike is sensible or not. Then I listen to Chris to see if a bike is fun or not. Don't need to know anything else.
That's true.
I’m a bit confused (at the time of posting this) 5 people had given this a 👎!?! Not sure what rock they live under however this is by a very long way the best, honest, humble review I’ve watched by someone who actually knows what he’s talking about! Thanks Chris, for your thoughts! Always appreciated. 👍😎🇦🇺
Cheers Marcus, thanks for the support.
Hands down best motorcycle content on the web. Ok maybe tied with FortNine.
I like Chris. Knows his business and does it with a smile.
Triumph must love this guy. Best review of this bike on You Tube by a long way. He makes it look such great fun to ride and must have convinced a lot of folks to get one.
Just found this review and I have to say, as an owner of the Triumph Trident 660, I agree with everything said. Wonderful engine made for winding roads, good torque, and I do not need high speed. The suspension is really magic and I have to make an compliment to Triumph, they found a setting that fits perfectly for daily driving. The brakes I also like very much, they are not for racing, OK, but give a very good sense of confidence and they are as I like it, with a type of build in progression. Not to aggressive at the first moment, but then stronger and stronger. I think something very good i.e. when you get in "panic situations". I could go on and on, but the review described it well. Thanks for it.
@Dick Thundernutz I left the suspension as it is. I just adjusted the rear preload to maximum to fit my weight, which is similar to yours.
2 years later how do you feel? Still an owner?
"It does wheelies" sold it to me, I'm having one 😊
After 2 years this is still the best review of this bike, the most entertaining and the one that sold me on it. Can I pick any holes in it? Yes, after two years of riding it I do want more power and it would absolutely be intolerable to ride w/o the quick shifter -but- it is a very comfortable commuter that is still a blast to thrash on. I’m keeping it for my commuter and will be buying a bigger one to put the fear of god back in me.
I think, that was possibly one of the best bike reviews I've ever watched, presentation, information, opinion, all the wheat sorted from the Chaff!
I now know more about the Trident than from all the other reviews put together. Top work!
Great review. And the thing that most reviewers miss is how addictive it is to have a bike with fully usable power, it gives you an extra 33.3% enjoyment according to a stat I just made up.
I'm just 21 (yes i think that's young), and I've ridden R1,CBR1000RRR-SP, ZH2, Ducati Panigale V4, Daytona 675r, R6, Ninja ZX 10, ninja Zx6, Ninja 300, RE 350,Himalayan,650s, t100, and speed triple, i had owned a R1, but sold it for other reasons and investments, and got a cycle instead of the bike, and now i am looking forward to getting a Trident 660 , or the Triumph Speed triple, cuz even after riding all i have ridden, ( even been to track a few times) is that no matter what, 200hp is not needed , and all these bikes are great, these 200hp r1s , Panigales, e.t.c, are pretty useless from ergonomics, useless low end, in the street what i suggest is the street triple, or the speed triple .
Cuz :
Such a beautiful sound , the exhaust sound changes as the rev increases , from sophisticated in the low to the roaring in the high ,
Mechanically (a mechanical engineer here) , and as a bike enthusiast, 3 Cyls are the best when it comes to power delivery, low end torque + top end rush , and due to triumphs T-plane crankshaft (perfect secondary balance) this thing revs very high for a engine that size , and reaches redline quicker than any I4...
I've plenty experience, owned an R1 (sold last year and got a cycle), r6, zx 10r, the busa, Zh2, RSV4, panigale, cbr 1000, and z900 , daytona 675, street triple 675RS, RE bikes,and what not , but i find three cyls the best among inline 4s and 2s (Vs are better ). (Except some radicals i4s ).
After riding all those crazy R1s and 200hp race machines, i understand now that top speed and the hp doesn't matter much, what is loved and addictive is the torque delivery!
Even motogp average track speed is 180kph. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Just caught an episode of "thanks for asking" with Neeves. He said you were currently the fastest journalist alive. Must be hard being the fastest and the coolest. Keep doin' what you're doin' and thank you..........really, thank you
We’re doing our best not to show him. 😂
After all I've heard about this bike, I just knew it was a hooligan machine and was waiting for a hooligan to show its abillitys. Nice one. No offence intended.
Great review , finally someone understands what triumph built in this machine . Something you can grab it by the scruff of neck and thrash it and it won’t intimidate putting a smile on your face 👍
Chris should do all the reviews from now on.
Excellent review! I love Fortnine and Zach Courts, but this video is right up there with the best of them. You also gave the bike a proper thrashing on those country roads. As a returning motorcyclist, this bike is on the top of my list.
I'm just 21 (yes i think that's young), and I've ridden R1,CBR1000RRR-SP, ZH2, Ducati Panigale V4, Daytona 675r, R6, Ninja ZX 10, ninja Zx6, Ninja 300, RE 350,Himalayan,650s, t100, and speed triple, i had owned a R1, but sold it for other reasons and investments, and got a cycle instead of the bike, and now i am looking forward to getting a Trident 660 , or the Triumph Speed triple, cuz even after riding all i have ridden, ( even been to track a few times) is that no matter what, 200hp is not needed , and all these bikes are great, these 200hp r1s , Panigales, e.t.c, are pretty useless from ergonomics, useless low end, in the street what i suggest is the street triple, or the speed triple .

After riding crazy 200hp race bikes, i know and understand that the hp is not all that matters, that's why my top of the bikes list is 3 cyls .
Actually my research and experience says that Torque is more addictive that top speed . Isn't it so?
For me :
Street bike: Trident 660 always.
Occasional track days and more power : Street triple RS
Track junkie bike, that is awesome on the streets :Speed triple 1200 RS.
I bought the trident 660, my first motorbike ever... I love her ❤️
You have the best review on this bike I’ve seen! Gained a new sub 🤙🏽
Thanks and welcome!
This video above all others I've seen has made me want this bike.
Thx for that clear & fun bringing Video ! Exactly my thoughts, while riding it for an hour try from the dealer … such fun, so easy, but still powerful, more than enough for our black Forrest twisties here.
Beside the Speed Twin (bigger, more expensive, but just another dream) one of my favourite 2-bike-alternatives to my 2012-GS 😍✨👍🏻
Great no BS no nonsense channel and brilliantly presented.
Glad you like it Chris, I’ve picked up mine two days ago and love it
Must love these 3cyls man!
best review ive seen for this bike. along with the hard riding
One of the best reviews I've seen on the Trident, seriously great! Thanks for sharing.
Best reviewer out there as far as I'm concerned. Informative and to the point. Nice work Chris.
Chris, You one hell of a Rider, it’s always a pleasure to see you handle a bike ;-) I see forward to se how you will handle the big one.
I order the Trident, but can see, I will need a little more riding practice, to handle the bike like you👌
Thanks

And also
Trident 660: Beginner
Street triple 765 RS : Experienced
Speed triple 1200 RS: Very experienced rider.
After riding 200hp bikes and a load of others, basically every kind of bike you can think of, i believe that hp is not what makes a bike fun, it's the torque delivery, and the gorgeous quality and comfort, even on a track, cuz I've seen guys with speed triples destroying supersports.
And remember that the average motogp track speed is also 180kph , so top speed doesn't matter mate.
Gotta love these 3 cyls, get the Trident, you can definitely handle it.
Thanks Chris! I enjoyed your review. Made my booking today!
Great video Chris, it's just like one of your mates - who can actually ride - telling you like it is.
Just bare faced honesty, thanks
Absolutely awesome
Best review of trident. Awesome man.
I agree!
Wonderful way with words for a stellar review. Bought the bike. Thank you.
Really fantastic review. The right amount of honest information from a seasoned rider with no drama. It’s great that he describes how the bike is for and where it sits in the market.
You reviews are the best mate, so good at actually giving it how it is. Keep it up.
You do the best reviews in the business Chris. Love to see the bikes get a proper workout
Good job. Best Trident review I’ve seen. Keep up the good work!!!
Cheers Gregory
To the point review, I like that. Came away with a well rounded idea of your opinion. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
Another great review! Thanks, Chris!!!
👨👩👧❤
Mexico just got a whole lot more rural. What a lot of bike for not too much money. Sorely tempting. Great pragmatic review.
I have a 2007 1250 bandit, and the stuff he's picking apart I'm like "this shit looks space age"
Bought one today. MATT black, Bluetooth, belly pan. New.... get it next Tuesday. Used to own a street triple 675.
Nice video. It's really impressive to watch Chris chuck these bikes around narrow UK backroads!
Great review.
I rode a speed twin in the 1960's and loved it. My wife and I rode from London to Glasgow in the rain and it was surefooted all the way.
For me Triumph = Quality.
Great review Chris, thanks. 👍👌
Quality review, thanks Chris
hey Chris. just wanna say that I consider you the most passionate and entertaining and interesting to listen and competent motorcycle journalist in whole youtube. it just feels that you love motorcycles. and to other moto junkie it’s obvious)
Great review dude, this is the bike my wife has her eye on. Cant wait till they hit the showrooms and we can actually go down and try one.
She'll love it Andy, let us know how she gets on.
@@BikeWorldTVshow street twin (80nm torque) or trident? Thx
@@doubleyoudee ... speed twin 😜
Professional job - well done, sir. Thanks
Brilliant review as usual chris. Really appreciate your honesty and down to earth presentations. Should be a good bike for new riders, thats for sure.
Just a great review, brilliant visuals, engaging commentary. Really made me wanna get me a go on one of them! 👍🏼
Thanks Rob!
In the market for my first multi cylinder. Your review was tailor made for my thoughts and questions. As a returning motorcyclist, 80HP is enough. Sold!! Great review, opinions, precise. Keep em coming. Cheers.
Reviewed by Chris means u get what u want. short, simple and thrilly way..
Great review. Thank god someone actually tells the truth about a bike. It’s a big 👍from me.
Really great review , probably the best reviewer , only 2nd to eri henning and zack courts, those are legends too, but you're the true hooligan, I'm squidding vicariously through you!
i'm just 21 (yes i think that's young), and I've ridden R1,CBR1000RRR-SP, ZH2, Ducati Panigale V4, Daytona 675r, R6, Ninja ZX 10, ninja Zx6, Ninja 300, RE 350,Himalayan,650s, t100, and speed triple, i had owned a R1, but sold it for other reasons and investments, and got a cycle instead of the bike, and now i am looking forward to getting a Trident 660 , or the Triumph Speed triple, cuz even after riding all i have ridden, ( even been to track a few times) is that no matter what, 200hp is not needed , and all these bikes are great, these 200hp r1s , Panigales, e.t.c, are pretty useless from ergonomics, useless low end, in the street what i suggest is the street triple, or the speed triple .

Every. Single. Time...Chris makes the best reviews.
Chris, you just became my favorite reviewer.
I really enjoy watching your footage + the comment of course. I made even couple of screenshots from other video with my bike haha. Really pleasing to spend my time for it.
Great reviewer. Give this guy all of your bike reviews.
Great review Thanks 😊👍
The crystal white color option didn't grew on me until you rode it - hooligan mode...AWESOME TAKE! 💪
Proper review, not like another Utuber I can think of! I think that 80 odd HP is possibly the most fun and useable power to have. Well done Chris, will subscribe now.
Cheers Neil, thanks for subscribing!
Perfect review! Thanks dude 😊
Very nice review on that bike Chris! Quite annoying hearing other reviews were everything is perfect on that bike! A honest review is appreciated..keep the pace...
Decided to save up for a Trident after seeing this! Awesome review!
Great review. Thank you 👍🏻
Great great review Chris !
Really great review! I like in the Paris region and have been through loads of bikes in the past couple of years. Finally "settled" on a little Frantic 500 Scrambler as a fast, light, fun bike for short commutes and errands. But I have to admit I'm once again tempted!! Damn!
Excellent review, probably the best for the Triumph Trident I’ve seen!
Great review, I’m an experienced rider looking for a second bike for commuting & a bit of weekend Tom foolery & this ticks all the boxes. Had a second generation Street Triple a while back & this looks like it’s modern cousin. Reminds me of why I got into biking in the first place.
Must sort a test ride.
Thanks 👍
Best looking and the most forward looking bike they done in years
Excellent review. Really enjoyed listening to Chris and watching him ride. Left me feeling like I actually learned about the bike. Well done sir. By the way, what a road, looks like tons of fun.
9:03 paused it here and seen your foot tuching the floor and all my questions have been answered about can this bike corner and keep up with other bikes in corners. nice video
Fun, fun, fun.......that’s what it’s all about.
Great riding footage and sound 👍
Giving a bike a proper thrashing is what makes motorcycling thrilling. I currently own a GSX s1000f and it is way too powerful to be as fun as a motorcycle should be. I think I am going to trade it in for a Trident.
Finally a proper review. Thank you!
Great reviews Chris, proper unbiased overview. Beautiful looking machine, a lot of bike for the money
Great review , I’m still getting one 😄
Great review Chris,look forward to many more!
I almost don't need to ride it as you have shown us exacly what kind of bike it is! I wish I could have started my riding in such a bike!
I just bought this bike a week ago after having had the Suzuki SV650 for 2 years. As I am a tall person the SV650 didnt quite fit me so I wanted a bike that suited me better (Im 1.89). The engine in the SV650 is by far better, but this is also a really good bike and a lot of fun to drive. For me its just a way more comfortable ride
Really nice review. Cheeers :)
Very good reiew without any noise and nuisance... keep making similar reviews
an he's out there ripping it too, u gotta know his opinions are bang on everything. a real rider, not these people review things going 30-40 thru town an say its super fun, super torquey. we all know/think its great looking an sounds great already, put it thru its paces an he does!.
I dont rip it like that anymore for a long time, well occasional straight line burst, but nice to know it can, and totally makes me hold his reviews in the highest regard.
Im the older rider who would replace by trade in my 3rd bike in stable and be the smallest CC, & 12th bike in a lifetime. one was a bonne many eons ago. this would be for short trips an some fun.
good its the triple as the twins just dont do it for me, too slow low Hp.
theyre listing here in US right now locally for 8195 USD base model, Im a have a look n a ride.
I was exhilarated just watching that boy rip it. woooo.
manufacturers?- wanna sell bikes?. give it to Chris for a video review.
Cheers, we feel the same, wouldn't you like to see what the bike your planning to buy is capable of? We don't do average reviews, why watch an average review when you can just go and ride one for yourself. Thanks for getting it! Al
Let this man review all bikes, ever. He might look like a Kyle, but rides like an Italian hitman riding away from a scene. What a delight watching this man go nuts on a bike.
Great review which is totally accessible to anyone regardless of knowledge level..
That's where my brake master cylinder got to, been looking for that, thanks.
First time viewer, really enjoyable, thanks 👍
Great review 👍
Fantastic review no bull s##t great little bike for commuting or a Sunday blast looking for too more videos stay safe 🇬🇧
Finally a Triumph with a proper headlights!!! One that doesn't stick out a foot past where you'd expect them to be. I don't mind the twin headlights on the StreetTriple, just hate that they are affixed to the frame instead of swiveling with the forks, like here on the Trident. This looks so much better!
Great review, as usual
How expectations change: didn’t the original Z1 “only” make 80bhp? 😄 Good review.
I know, madness isn't it! I remember just how excited I was to take the 33bhp restrictors off my Honda NC30 and unleash the full 60bhp beast!
That's for sure, I had a 1975 Z1 and loved it, 80 something hp and the fastest production motorcycle at the time, plus weight in 500 lb range.
Typically excellent (read insightful) review. Glad to hear the new Triumph is the bike I hoped for.
My brother bought one he gets it this weekend. I bought the Speed Twin ;)
Jamiroquai surely knows a lot about bikes...
