- Hey ya'll. Decided to take the bike out for a quick ride and do a 1 year review of the bike. Discussed my views on owning the bike for the past year as well as new rider thoughts on which bike to get. Also discussed my next bike purchase. Cheers & thanks for the support.
Hear you about the obsession about looking at all videos ... That s how I stumbled on yours ! Great video man !
You heard it roar and you decided that was the one, that is the way. Your audio is super clean now.
The only way to do it lol. That cold start sold it for me. Ill try and upload more quality vids in the future now that i have a good mic
I want to get another bike soon after being bikeless for a few years. I was torn between the Fz07, Fz09, Xsr700/900, Older Street triple 675, new Street triple 765, or a KTM 790 Duke.
I'm looking for a naked bike that sounds good & has a good powerband, without being excessively fast or heavy (riding extremely fast gets old, and it's been out of my system now) but I also want it to be somewhat premium, which, although the Yamahas are amazing bikes, they are still cost-cutter bikes in some aspects that I just don't want to deal with.
I just discovered this new Trident 660 after browsing rental bikes on riders-share. I've never heard of it before, but 600cc range bikes and in TRIPLE cylinder is right up my alley.
So here I am watching your video. Glad you like it! And you're totally right about becoming obsessed with something and watching every video on it, haha! 😆
Hello Trident 660! I can't wait to test ride you this spring! 🏍️
Hi Andre,
Thanks for the video man, great review! 😊 this bike has been on my radar as well so any info is appreciated! Cheers🤗🍻
I put the yoshi on my tiger 660 and it is amazing. The QS has some issues from 2-3rd at times. Great experience for your first bike. Keep the vids coming, stabilizers never hurt if your running ethanol
Appreciate the support. Yes, the Yoshi exhaust imo is the best for this platform. Really brings the engine to life and sounds amazing!
Going to get my license this year, based in the UK. This will be my first bike, I think it's stunning and I def will put an exhaust on it.
A2?
@@101steel4 his area has 2 levels of licenses. 1 level limits your power and torque you can have on a bike. The other lets him jump up the power and torque to full level. In Europe you can buy a very powerful bike. But if you don't have the right license the bike engine is detuned to a much lower state until the 2nd license is attained
@@tommartin1223 I know I'm in England, I was asking if he was doing his A2 licence.
Plus there's actually 3 levels of licence, you can do your test on a 125cc, which means no more CBTs, but you're restricted to a 125cc.
Hello Andre. I finally take mine 3 weeks ago, and as you said, it’s a lovely bike ! Really I take a lot of pleasure to ride with. 👍🏼✌🏼😃😊
I hope you still have the tt660cc your like the only true honest owner about the trident i do own a trident and dont regret getting mines.
I'm kind of obsessed with the look of this bike. I have an 04 FZ1 so I don't know if I would want to go down to a 660 after a 1000c bike but on looks alone I've been very tempted to get this. One of the best looking naked's on the market right now, especially in that colorway.
I would say for what this bike is meant for (city riding & twisties), you don’t need a 1000. Even for more experienced riders it’s a very fun bike. The new Street Triple RS might give you the balance you may be looking for (between 660 & 1000). The color way is an aftermarket paint unfortunately it doesn’t come in red.
@@302bikelife I was wondering about the color because I haven't seen it anywhere else. I also looked into the street and that's a really sweet bike too, If only we could get them all hey? My bike only has 12k miles and is full customized with GYT-R parts and paint so maybe I should just be happy with what I have.
It is a great bike but if you have a 1k already you will be disappointed. Its great to commute for short rides but once you get on the highway you'll understand. I recommendyou rent one first. The speed triple 1050 would be more up pleasing. I have one and she hasn't disappointed me yet. I over 10k on my 660 , i miss her for the commute but thats it😢
@@marbonbella693That's what I would be concerned about is running out of power. Not so much in the city but on the highways and whatnot. My FZ1 never seems to run out of power regardless of what speed I'm going, I can always drop a gear and take off. The 660 is such a cool looking bike though.
@@ninji522 D***? Right. She's beautiful and I loved her too. However I couldn't get her to go past 135 and I weigh a 165 pounds. You have to work to get over 80 but for the city....SHE'S PERFECT! NOW my speed triple well lets just @ 9k, 6th gear... 153 is where i said nope, nope, nope 😆 but i just sent in my ecu I'll keep you posted on what the tune does for her. I Sincerely think you would love the 1050 speed triple. More than enough power for the highway, city and twisties.
I pre-ordered a 2022 Triumph 660, but when I saw that the new 2021 ducati monster plus had 3 different riding modes: Sport= full power 111hp, Touring =less power, and Urban=even less 75hp.
I canceled my pre-order for the 660 and purchased the ducati. I keep it in Urban mode, but as my skills/experience grow, I can adjust for more power.
The monster is def a good choice as well compared to the Trident. Lots of power and looks just as good if not better. Ride safe!
@@302bikelife I really like the 660. I stumbled upon the Ducati Monster plus looking at TH-cam videos. I didn't buy it new I bought used and it had 1800 miles, the full Termignoni Exhaust and alot of Evotech protection parts, but what sold me the most was the 3 riding modes. If the ducati didn't have any of the aftermarket parts and was just stock I still would have bought it because of the 3 riding modes and realizing I could grow into it.
Solid video thanks Andre.
It’s literally designed as a beginner bike. Obviously that doesn’t mean it’s the cheapest available but triumph literally made it for beginners and returning riders. They actually made it slightly too docile imo
It's the equivalent of Ducati's monster. Simple, easy to ride, smooth power, and reliable for commuting.
Then again, these things are faster than the bikes our fathers and grandfather's considered "widowmakers". Really puts it into perspective lol
Literally?
And that doesn't mean that the bike is slow, actually it's so fast. We are talking about an 81 HP machine, perfect power for the street.
More power will give faster accelerations but that's it, you won't ever use the full potential of the bike unless you go on a circuit.
80 horse power a beginners bike? What about all the 125, 250 and 400 cc? I am riding since 30 years and before my first “big bike” I rode many years a 125 cc. The trident is definitely not a beginners bike.
I think for beginners they should first stick to max 30/40 bhp bikes, after having proper riding knowledge and experience then can jump to 80/90 bhp bikes, although i don't think to call 80 bhp for beginners 😅
I am actually looking into getting one downsizing from a 07 CBR600rr and a Yamaha Vmax... i did find out that 70-90hp is the golden medium for me to have fun and being able to push it more and ride on the stopper of the throttle
Just ordered a 2024 660😊
Great review. Is this your first bike? Also, this is not only for new rider but also for experience riders who wants a second bike on their garage.
Also got mine brand new 2022 Trident 660, I pre-installed quickshifter and all the engine/ fork guards at dealership before taking it out. I am slowly growing on handle bar mirrors and that small wind plate on top of headlight. I am not very hesitant of chaning stock exaust, because of reasons you mentioned, the sound would be too loud? Atrack too much attention. What would be the level of sound if this exaust still had silencer?
Dude how do I get this color?
Also, why did you cut off when talking about maintenance complaints? What was the second half of that thought?
Picked up my trident in November as my first street bike too. i love it and it turns heads and just flicks around corners. I thought it was really quick until i test rode a Z900 lol. but i daily it 60 miles to work at least 2-3 times a week with no issues since its new. Have you thought about getting the DNK tune put on it?
She will run better, adds about 5 hp and that delay in the throttle will disappear. It worth it. I just sent them my ecu for my 1050
bike sounds amazing just like STREET TRIPLE RS
Thank you for video! I am 6'3" gf is tall as well. How does the bike do with a rider?
I wish triumph had sold a RS version of this with the 675cc motor from the old daytona/street triple. I would’ve bought it day one. I was almost going to buy it anyway but it was a bit disappointing power and torque wise. There’s no excuse for the RS660 to beat a 660 triple’s Hp with a 660 twin, let alone for the 10 year old MT07 to outperform it.
Trident RS would be nice. Knowing triumph, they would just add rear Ohlins suspension, tweak the engine a bit and sell it as an RS
@@302bikelife that wouldn’t be enough in this bikes case imo unless they seriously resealed the motor. Plus the 675 doesn’t go in anything anymore and is an amazing motor that’s rare because it’s a proper 600cc supersport class motor. Ever since the move to the 765 Daytona/street triple the 675 is not used in anything, I don’t think they can afford to let it go unchanged with the GSX-8S & CB750 Hornet making 10hp less but with around 20 pounds less than the trident which weights the as the street triple moto 2, max torque is at the same but gearing and other details + the weight all add up….
Interestingly the 660 motor is straight from the A2 compatible 660cc Street Triple S that makes 47hp in A2 form and 94hp in unrestricted form, which is only about 18hp down from the 765cc Street Triple R
So theoretically if they at least put all the internals from that version into the trident 660 it will go from 80hp to 94 which instantly puts it at the head of the pack. Why they wouldn’t have at least offered a variant like this right away or even for 2022/23 version is beyond me
Trident was brought in with newer riders in mind. And in that regard, it has plenty of shove. I,m experienced and I bought this bike, it's a great little thrasher. Re:the mt07, great engine, but it's chassis can't live the trident, when you push on. The trident is a step up, you play 'The Twisties' on that yammy, you will be on your A**e. 😅
Nice bike, I have the same! But bro, you’re shortshifting so much. Max power is at over 10k rpm, and you’re shifting at like 6/7k. Hold the gears longer and it’s a different beast
I love the red colour
These roads looks so boring. No curves, only intersections.
But the bike looks very good!
Nice bike I got a 2023 also in orange , I have a question were u get them rear Blinkers?
Hey dude - Where in DE do you live? I'm in the Wilmington area and looking into getting a Trident 660 as well. Still have yours?
Love the bar-end mirrors you got. Could you share the brand/where you got 'em? They look really cool!
¡
These were from Amazon I forget what the brand is. I have switched them to different ones I believe the brand name is Fenrir. They’re very good quality for the price
Did you flash your ecu after exhaust mod?
Hi Andre. Where in NJ did you get the Trident
What would you upgrade to and why? Have you toured with bags?
Hey Stephen, I’m leaning more towards the Speed Triple 1200 RS or the newer Street Triple. I want to test ride both bikes and see which one would be a better fit. I love the Trident and would be keeping it as a second daily bike. Iv never toured with bags before no.
@@302bikelife I'm trying to decide between MT07 and Trident 660 or Tiger 660. The latter outside of budget however, and the MT has reduced price/deal and just seems a perfect all rounder. No issues with the Trident?
@@stephenoclarke8703 the MT07 is a great bike to be honest. A lot of torque and a lot of fun to ride. For me, I wanted something different and the Trident made sense and at a good price point. If you can get an MT07 at a reasonable price, I would hop on that deal. No issues so far with the Triumph at all.
You can tell this guy follows the law by concealing his license plate just so ever slightly so its not completely hidden
Has anyone here rode this bike and a cb650r??
How did you match the paint?
how tall are you? I'm wondering because i want to buy one and don't want to look like a tall hooligan on it.
Hey, 5’11 and flat foot very easily
What bike were you thinking about getting
Did you color it or wrapped it?
how much was your quickshifter and did you install it yourself?
Hey MIkara, I paid $200 for it from Facebook marketplace. Took it to Triumph dealership for installation which was about $150.
casually doing 20+ over in a 35.....yep that checks, it's definitely maryland lololol. the limits here are suuuuuch a joke in so many areas.
where did you ride ? look nice :)
What tail tidy do you have?
How did you remove the rear fender?
I have the same question, looks real nice but I didn’t see the blinkers at the back 😜
I'm not a fan of red for vehicles colors but this is fire!
Do you have an Instagram bro?
