- We review the new 2021 Triumph Trident 660 motorcycle.
Is it good or bad?
Are you confused about what it's like?
We give the final verdict!
We look at the engine, power, torque, gears, exhaust sound, handling, suspension, rake & trail, wheelbase, fuel economy, acceleration, braking, styling seating and riding position and more!
How is it for taller riders above 6 foot?
How is it for shorter riders?
A2 Licence 'kit' available!
Is it too fast or too tame?
We test it on the real British roads (rubbish ones!).
In this video the Ol' Man is wearing the Bell 2020 Street Qualifier DLX MIPS Helmet in Breadwinner Black & White www.bellhelmet...
And Goldtop Leather Gloves www.goldtop.co... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
The kind of people that think that this motorcycle isn’t fast enough, are the sort of people that shouldn’t be on public roads, and riding motorcycles.
Beautiful Triumph, and great review...👌🇨🇦✌️😎
Yes agreed. Nobody needs to ho faster than this on public roads in all honesty 👍🏼👍🏼
First time I am watching this channel and I love how the presentation is done with a father/son set up. Love it.
Thanks Kero. Please check out our other videos and don’t forget to subscribe 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm a new subscriber because of the father and son concept, my dad and I are pretty close. Videos look well taken also.

hi people !
I'm French,I'm 46 yo, I'm 6.10 tall, I've bought a triumph trident last may 27th and I just can say that I 'm really in love with this bike since the 1st day !
This is a fantastic bike ! It always want to play ! It's nervous enought to give you great sensations ! You can also ride it just to cruise and have a lot of pleasure on the road. This bike gives you a lot of confidence! You can handle it very easily. I would really recommend this bike ! If you're a young biker with a A2 licence, just try this bike, you'll fall in love with it for sure ! And if you're a "old" biker (with years of experience of riding I mean), I'm sure you'll have a lot of pleasure with this Triumph Trident too.
Merci! We appreciate your comments 💯
Thank you from India. Another reason for India being a motorcycling country is the weather, you can bike all year round in most of the parts of the country. And the country roads are beautiful for biking.
Just traded in a 2019 street twin,which was a fine bike, but I wanted to experience a revvy triple. First impressions, it weight, or lack of it, its handling, the fact that it encourages you to ride hard. It makes me smile. I,ve encountered no noticeable throttle lag, the fact is... The first gear is very short and you change up in seconds, commuting and traffic splitting, simple on this bike. You can get into trouble with it, due to its 'thrash me' character. Would suit someone who has had a year or so in the saddle. Thanks for the vids lbig fellas.
I cannot decide between the Speed Twin 900 and this one. Im 186 cm if it matters. Please help me :)
Speed Twin 💯
I'm trying to decide between those two. What do you say now, do you regret trading the street twin? I can't test ride neither, they don't do test rides where I live. I own a MT07, and I'm afraid the less power and 5 speed of the twin will be underwhelming. Thanks
What I always like about your reviews is that you know which way the throttle works and are not scared to turn it !!!
Ahh OK thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼
Good to see you let us hear the sound of the bike, without talking over it, like many do. Thanks
Thanks Jason. Yes exactly! 👍🏼
Finally I found reviewers who let us hear and ENJOY the sound of the engine instead of killing the enjoyment with ennoying music !
You have a new fan.
Welcome aboard Roeland! We’re glad you found us! 👍🏼👍🏼
This is one the best reviews of this bike and is spot on, every bit. I own this (exact color too!) in Bengalore. Regarding the ground clearance, this bike would scrape any badly constructed speed bumps. I ride solo, and I'm on the heavier side. I stand on the pegs to avoid scraping the underbelly. Also, the minute quirk regarding the seat height, when the bike was new I had to tiptoe. But as the suspension worn in, now I'm able to flat foot. When I test rode it, I was fully able to flat foot, but was shocked that my new bike (with same preload settings I wasn't able to initially).
Also the suspension initially felt stiff and had softened over time. I have so far done 700kms on it. It's just a month old. I'm 5'7. I absolutely love how it handles. This bike is my everyday commute.
It doesn't really grab attention in the streets and in the parking lot. But when you are above 5k RPM ppl definitely notice a big bike on coming. Hope this helps.
I’m guessing from the expression that you guys like it. Can’t wait for the review.
All will be revealed! 👍🏼👍🏼
Mine is set for delivery this week so your review is a nice addition while waiting.
Ahh ok great! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@nassosa the whole world has ordered one by the look of it ☺
@@DaveDayve hahaha. From the looks of it yes. I think triumph will be very pleased with the sales figures. Hope the bike comes through.
Writing from India... Have this beast arrived.. gonna soon go for test ride and should check if this will be my dream bike ever... And lovely duo reviews champs!
Thanks my friend! Good luck with the testride 👍🏼
You got a new sub! love the presentation style! especially the random nature shots for fraction of a second!
Thanks buddy and welcome aboard 💯
nice to se an reviewer of normal proportions, and not the usual pony jockey size riders, i am about 17 stone and 6 ft. and i am looking for a naked bike to fit my size, so its good to get some realistic perspective, that earns my sub, thanks guys.
Thanks buddy! Welcome aboard!
Another winner from Triumph. The 3 cylinder Triumph motor has such a sweet exhaust note .
Yes definitely 👍🏼👍🏼
I have had my eye on the Trident for ages and thinking of it as my first bike. I have watched every review I could find, but this is by far the best. Hardly anyone talks of the seating for a pillion for example which is a key consideration for me. Thank you and well done.
This is the only video that cleared my confusion - will it look good on a 6'1" tall rider? Thanks a lot!! Love from India!!
Thanks buddy! Glad it helped 👍🏼👍🏼
Just found yr channel and have to say I'm loving it.. Being 6'4" and 19st myself its really interesting to get yr opinions as big guys.. Subscribed 👍
Ahh great thanks! Check out our other reviews. The Indian motorcycles are a good fit
@@MrDarcy-OlMan.. I've just watched it and almost bought one! Kinda wish I had now... Just put a deposit on a Rebel 1100 but a little concerned it's going to be too small!
@@2wheeledwillie395 ok cool. I don’t think it’s any smaller than the Thruxton. We reviewed the Rebel 500 so you can get an idea of what we look like on that 👍🏼
Nice bike, good value but for me I prefer the lower revving Street Twin. Sounds like Mr Darcy was on the Helium towards the end. Great review, cheers.
Thanks bud! Yes the Street Twin is really nice. Lol 👍🏼👍🏼
Me too, the ST sounds fantastic, the new trident sounds so “frantic”. I’ve got a 2017 Street twin and it does everything I ask of it. Probably better fuel economy than the trident as well.
Greetings from Canada! Love your reviews and this video is one of the reasons I've got a down payment on one of these little beasties. I don't get it until sometime next year, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait! Thanks guys and can't wait to see Mr. Darcy finally get to ride some of these machines with his Ol' Man.
Thanks buddy! Great news indeed! Lots of rides planned! 👍🏼
Great Review! Just ordered one, same paint job as the one tested, so really pleased to see it on the road.
Awesome! Thanks buddy
Seen the reviews and bought one, picked it up one week ago. First service on Saturday (600 bollocks freezing miles) and a further 400 before I can have a bit of fun 😎
Mind on that if you spec it up fully you’ll put a further £2000 on the list price
Awesome! Yes the cold!!
Like the virtual riding camera angle segments, canceling turn signals are nice, can't remember to turn mine off.
Thanks buddy!
I've watched several reviews of this bike and agree with others that this particular review was outstanding. And those country lanes are gorgeous!
As usual, great review! Looks like a really happy bike to ride. But, gentlemen, not for your size. Ol’man beard deserves something more ominous.
Yes we reckon you’re right 👍🏼👍🏼
Great grass roots review....A lot of other reviews I watch don't mention soul and character (Kudos Ol' Man). I say that as I have previously owned an MT07 which has bags of character, reviewer's neglect to point this out in there reviews.
I live in Thailand, as you know Triumph's are made in Thailand and they are very popular in the Asian market (shorter rider's and Triumph brand). I am tempted........Cheers
Thanks Dave! That’s what we try to get over 👍🏼👍🏼
This is the review I've been waiting on. I actually trust your opinions over some others, as the both of you seem far less biased in your reviews. Now all that is left is to give one a try and see if it can convince me to part with some of my money. Thanks for a great review, especially the beautiful location. Some splendid looking country you chaps have. Good day.
Thanks buddy! Yes definitely have a testride! Yes it’s pretty round here! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Olney area,great roads for bikers and a Harley dealership meeting point as well.
I can already tell I’m going to love this bike much more than the Thruxton 1200 R it’s replacing.
Awesome! 💯👍🏼
Great review, just test rode one this morning and loved it. Im 5 10 and heavy set but felt like a smooth ride. At 75 and over on faster roads without a windshield this will pull you back. Probably a good first modification to get.
Excellent review, this bike is very similar to the MV Brutale triple 675/800.
Thanks buddy. OK cool 👍🏼👍🏼
You are not built like a gorilla, you earned it. Never forget :) Would like to put my leg over this one. Don't really like the tripples. They pull thru the mid range for sure, but I feel like they are tasteless. Love the downpull on twins, and the top end power on 4inlines. This one looks cool, but I don't like that cheap brakeleaver. I know it's small, but still. You pay for premium, you expect it to be premium.
Thanks buddy. Pumping iron for 40 years! Yes every engine has its personality. 💯
new rider here, just a few months of experience but love the trident. i find myself out on it and not wanting to end the ride. it's confidence inspiring and i'm finding that as my skill levels go up that it gets more and more rewarding to ride. the quick shifter is great at times and clunky at others but maybe that's just because i haven't quite got it figured-out yet. however i've read on forums where this is common. i'm 6' tall and it feels very comfortable. do i look too tall for it? i don't care.
It´s a shame a lot of (naked) bikes are not for taller people (6,3 here).. But thanks for the (again!) great review!
Yes it is. I can’t see it changing but you never know. Thanks buddy
I like it in every way coming from a Street twin at 74 years old, but it sounds like a sewing machine, I would have to do my intake exhaust treatment if it's at all possible.
A really cool bike. I am glad they are making more learner friendly bikes. This is a very good looking bike. Probably plenty of real world power.
Yes it’s very good indeed!
Love the review from my friends across the pond. Keep up the good work gents!!
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Was thinking of getting one of these & have just sent off for a p/ex valuation on my bike.....then I watched this review & was reminded of that awful whistling noise you get with these (I had an original street triple). That got on my nerves so I think I'll keep looking for the "right" used SV650 or Z650!
Thank you for riding this one! I'm tall enough to see how this one is a no go for me... Not really a problem, 'cause there's enough out there to choose from. :)
thanks buddy. Shame for Triumph; good for you 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the in-depth yet refreshing review. May I know the ground clearance as Indian roads are extremely bumpy.
Thanks buddy. I’ll try to measure it later but it’s not too low so you’d be fine on most roads
That was a great review. Just no nonsense and telling people what they need to know. I'm 60 and 6ft 3 inch and wanting to return to biking. I can remember riding fizzys back in the 70's and they fitted ok. Fancy one of these though or maybe a cb 650.
Thanks my friend! Yes the fizzys! 💯👍🏼
I’m 6ft 3. and find the trident great There’s just something about it
👍🏼👍🏼
@@glyn829 That's good to know. Thanks for the feed back.
i found your channel as i was looking for Honda CB 1100 RS review, i like your videos and your style.
any part of British proud spirit in that video ? tell me the true !
i have to say i love this bike, it's a "pavé dans la mare" from Triumph.
i think i would be the Old : i 'm 58 years old.
a french subscriber ;)
Thanks buddy! We are not patriotic to be honest. Welcome aboard 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review gentlemen thank you. Disappointed that at 6’3 it may be a struggle for me.
Thanks buddy. Yes you’re as tall as the bike will take tbh
@@MrDarcy-OlMan any other recommendations for a first big bike please ?
@@sharifela7993 probably a Harley 883 or a Honda CRF 450L
My only problem with this bike is that I might not be able to fit my 56 litre Givi rack and Topbox with that subframe. I find this lockable top box indispensable for storing my helmet and shopping. It has been a permanent fixture on the back of my current bike since the day I bought it. Backpacks really don't cut it as I hate lugging a helmet around shopping centres. The Trident is a very impressive, sensible all round bike with very good performance at a reasonable price point. Ownership costs add to its attraction.
Yes probably not. I’m with you on the backpacks! 👍🏼👍🏼
Premieres 3/8/21 August that'll be a long wait !
We do it the right way round here lol! We won’t keep you waiting that long.
Wonderful review guys. You guys should try the Yamaha XSR 700 which is often compared to the Trident.
Thanks buddy. Yes hopefully we can soon 👍🏼
Excellent review!
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Love your format of review.👍
Thanks buddy! 👍🏼
Alright... so if this one is too small and you're looking for a retro... for a 6'3 rider... what are you recommendations?
Harley Davidsons, Indians, BMW R18. Everything else is titchy!
Yamaha XSR 900 for a modern bike with a vintage vibe that looks a bit retro. Otherwise have a look at the Royal Enfield Market as they're great value for price and exactly what you get. I've got a Bullet as my local run around 🤘
Triumph Rocket 3 R !
Great Video and bike review, it’s a very good looking bike in my opinion, I will most probably test ride it next week, hopefully. On a side fun note, Ol’ man if Disney ever decide to do a live action movie for the little mermaid you should be casted as her father king triton :)...Anyway keep up those great reviews...cheers ✌🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy! Haha yes always up for a hollywood movie or two 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan hahaha...I think you are most probably on the right track to the hollywood walk of fame, they all started from youtube, specially bike reviews. ;) :D ...cheers mate
Looks like a smaller version of the Indian FTR. I've liked the classic lines forever, but this is a looker.
Yes definitely 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review, all the relevant info.... thanks ❤️
Thanks Martine 💯👍🏼
Your old man and my dad are same height and both are bike enthusiast but I'm 5'7 and my papa doesn't like that lol. Loved your review ♥️
Thanks buddy! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, my bike is on order!
Awesome 👍🏼
Thumbs up for “ -400 degree & looks like an ape on a bicycle” 😂 😂 I literally spill my beer 😂 😂 nice bike! It reminds me of husqvarna on your previous review, I think both had short wheelbase, but I think the seat height on 701 somehow make it looks a little better on tall riders, but performance wise I think triumph slightly better in terms of smooth, that just my opinion though, and 2 thumbs up for not scaring the horse, well represent bikers, we are not that bad as describe, it’s sad that maybe just few young bikers fault and suddenly we are hated among riders 😞 respect!
Thanks my friend! Haha 😁 Yes we are always careful with horses. Even with it switched off 👍🏼
im 6'3 and i prefer small bikes. even cruisers i prefer short wheel base like the sportster. i think its because i started to ride as a child i think it always bring a good mood into me to ride 'small' or feel big on the bike
Ok I get that 👍🏼👍🏼
Very good review in all ways. Since I m from Sweden I can inform you that the manes of the viking Gods are: Tor, Oden and Freja.
Great video, thanks guys! You've helped me reach my decision to buy one!
Another great review. This or Honda Cb650r ? I've rode the CB and loved it, Trident just looks a little smaller and cheaper looking, what's your thoughts 👍
I think the Triumph tbh. Both great bikes, but the Triumph seemed more precise
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Cheers for that👍
Rode the Trident on the wkend at Premier Triumph Oxford, deposit put down on the Matt black , pick up in a week. Thanks to you guys for great review👍
@@davoXsr900 awesome! 💯👍🏼👍🏼
0:52 I can hear Mr Darcy but can’t see him......
Yes the art of camouflage 😁
Kind of low power for me. Mt09/speed triple is just above the goldilocks zone so you can have that extra fun. After a duke 790 and 2 mt09s im now on a 2020 low rider s. I'm waiting for a bike like Hondas cbr650rr but with 10-15 more hp and at least under 450lbs
OK understood bro 👍🏼👍🏼
In Future hope to see you in TV ads or Bike magazines or motor bike related ads if not U.k, may be in India for Sure.
Thanks my friend! We’re open to offers 👍🏼
Love your videos Mr ol' man big up !
Not all Triumphs are 10,000 mile services the streets and speeds are 6,000, so 10,000 mile periods would be a great money saver.
Yes absolutely
you were right! on the drive by shot it looked like a Sasquatch had nicked it!
Good looking bike but it needs some bar end mirrors and nice brake/clutch leavers. It know it's Triumph's entry level bike but the cockpit looks a little low rent compared to the Res of the bike.
OK interesting observations buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
The Thailand Frame is low rent. They weigh half as much as a Brit Frame. Crap Steel.
@15:06 haha, gotta hurry and get that last bit in.
I really like this bike. Wouldn't mind having this as a second bike just for running canyons.
Yes haha👍🏼 It’s a great bike 👍🏼
Can’t wait to get this as my first bike 😁
OK awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Your reviews are the best
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic review!
Refreshing to see reviews from someone built like myself (6’2” 245 lbs)😎👍🏻. If I wanted to get something more nimble than my Harley Road King Special, what would you suggest? Maybe a KTM 1290 SuperDuke R? Would love to see you guys do that review video!! Cheers!!
Thanks buddy. We’re reviewing a Road king special this week and next!
Yes the KTM’s are excellent. What is your main purpose?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Awesome! Will definitely look for that video. I love my bike. Harleys are great for touring or cruising, but when I go to the mountains my bike can’t really get around those twisties quite like the sportier bikes. So I’m looking for something that can handle those better and offer a little more performance. Was thinking KTM SuperDuke 1290 R, Ducati Monster 1200s, or maybe dip my toes into the SuperSport world with an Aprilia RS 660?
@@2WheelWeekendViking what about a Triumph Bonneville? They’re sharper handling, responsive and cool looking 🤫
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Cool beans. That could work! Love the classic styling.
Which one? Speed Twin? T120? Thruxton? They make like 20 Bonneville models now 😂
@@2WheelWeekendViking We’re reviewing the Speedmaster this week; it looks stunning! Other than that, we really liked the T120 or T100. The Thruxton RS is incredible if you want a sporty ride.
Lovely bike, but crying out for a nice set of bar end mirrors 👌
Yes that would be good 👍🏼
I agree
Triumph have bar end mirrors available for this model.
Its nice, but I think I would go for the Honda CB650R you reviewed a while back, much the same price and 15 HP more if you want it, I also prefer thee look of the Honda's front brakes (even if they perform equal to the 660) and don't like the low stick stick out registration plate set up.
They are both very good and it’s largely subjective really 👍🏼
Let's see if they pick a few things from predecessors.
1. Cheap-looking foot brake lever - according to Chris from Bike World "is from Chinese scooter" :) and some Germans reviewers on Tenerife pointed it is poor engineering.
2. Rear monoshock, looking poor/cheap as well but some technical guy (don't remember YT channel, he is well respected, they make bike mods) said it will have to be covered because all crap goes straight into it (performs ok most ppl said)
3. Big ugly brake master cylinder "in the front of your vision", been seen apparently on some Kawasaki's from 70's :)
4. Throttle lag - this one is inconclusive, one Japanese guy said it is bad, some journalists said is there but not bothersome, some did not notice at all. One guy from Thailand presented it clearly, lag is there.
5. Radiator, too large. If you drop the bike, it could be easily broken because sticks out (speculation).
I haven't seen a single review of the bike with quick shifter, so we don't know how well it works.
Not many negatives overall from reviews, the bike looks solid. Engine performance seems to be good. Is it MT 07 killer? No is not. But it fits into the segment quite well.
👍🏼👍🏼🤞
Interesting to see how it compares against a benchmark bike on back to back test ride with a Honda CB650. I like the look of it, good commuter, good power, handling, brakes. No lugs or room for a centre stand?
Yes it’s not possible to get them side by side unfortunately. We don’t know about the centre stand lugs 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I bought a paddock stand set up then found it had lugs for a centre stand on a CB500F. Very handy for removing a great chunk of builders plastic that became clogged in the chain, sprocket at 100 kmh. Up on the centre stand , rotating the rear wheel it took a good 20 minutes to get it all out.
@@MrAndrew1953 crickey yes 👍🏼
What a cool video Glad you liked it !
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Top review chaps cheers 👍🏻
Thanks my friend 👍🏼👍🏼
That was very interesting thank you , due to arthritis in my knees and now had knee replacement I’m looking to get lighter bike compared to my Tiger Explorer 1200 and this bike appealed to me
Great! 👍🏼
Yous lads do the best reviews thanks
Thanks buddy. It’s all starting again tomorrow with some new bikes 👍🏼👍🏼
One last comment - Triumph - we need a mid size adv bike. 450 would be good. RE is eating your market.
As long as it has a bench seat!
Thank you. Great review.
Thanks very much!
Excellent Review
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice review thank you
Thanks buddy 💯
Is it a good proposition for first bike ever ?
My question exactly, especially living in the states
Yes it would be fine. It is fast, but to start with you can change gear early
After having really bad experience with my Harley Davidson Street 750 in india..i am looking forward for Street Triple R and Trident..can you please share your thoughts which one of this looks more presentable on Road also the specifications comparison..
We haven’t ridden the Street Triple but it will be a bit faster.
Good review but a little too compact for me.
Thanks buddy. Yes it’s not a big bike 👍🏼
Triumph already has like a dozen versions of the Bonneville for average-height riders. Why couldn't they (or any manufacturer for that matter) design an enlarged version for bigger riders (6' 4" here) instead of saturating the market with yet another bike for the average-height riders? I would really love to own a bike of this style but bigger, so I don't look like I'm riding my child's bicycle. This is a very beautiful bike, but so are all the versions of Bonneville that are already out there. :(
You’re right. Unfortunately we don’t think Triumph will do this because we brought it up in a recent launch and they believe they are already considering all heights of rider
@@MrDarcy-OlMan That is sad to hear, especially from one of my favorite brands. Well, I hope to see you testing the new Bonneville Speedmaster soon. It looks somewhat bigger (longer at least) in the pictures.
@@utoobia6872 yes hopefully!
It's made for the Thai riders, shorter guys
Great review guys , if you guys were about to buy a bike from this category ,would you rather pick Trident or Honda cb650r?
That’s a hard one because they are both closely matched. Probably the Triumph
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thank you guys
I am actually into both motorcycles and I am about to buy one of them , actually which aspect do you think trident leads the honda ,handling, looks, performance ?
@@EZaharievv The key decider for me was the display to be honest. The Trident shows the essentials and enables connectivity when you include the package.
@@EZaharievv I think looks, handling, lower peak rpm for max power. It’s a useable bike with enough oomph when you want it
Why do most bikes these days have no center stands.??
Most people don’t use them
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Then how do adjust their chains.??.A bottle jack perchance? Maybe I'm old fashioned but when I was a dispatch rider most bike's had a centre stand provided.
@@jimwolfy52 the chain is easy to adjust on the sidestand but we get your point. 👍🏼
Great review!!!!
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Great review. Only problem from here is maybe sound, can it be made to sound like a twin with short pipe, throaty sound, or is it a bit much rpm ish for that ? Thanks
No I don’t think it would ever sound throaty tbh
What's your thoughts on this bike againts the honda cb650r?
I think they are very similar. The Triumphs power peaks at lower rpm which is better in the real world. For my money; the Triumph
Would you recommend it for the beginner bikers?
@@jules9039 yes I think so. It is quite well mannered at lower rpm and you don’t have to rev it high. You will feel it gaining rpm so you can change gear before it screams.
Thank you! Hope you guys reach 10000000 subs!
@@jules9039 Fingers crossed!
I think it is a good idea for you to look at other reviews before you do your review and mention the points as you did in this vlog.
Sometimes we’re the first!
6’1” but can’t flat foot? Short legs, tall torso?
Maybe. We’ll have to measure
It looks like the Ol' Man is riding a mini bike. :-)
Yes it’s compact 👍🏼
Good review 👍
Thanks buddy
Waiting on the Tiger Sport 660 based on this.
Yes definitely
Great review , What's your say on its toring capabilities ?
Thanks buddy! Touring possible bit a compromise compared to something built for it
For touring capabilities, you would probably be better off with the Triumph Tiger Sport 660. It has the same engine and power that the Triumph Trident 660 has.
Hi,
I'm a new rider, would you buy the Trident over the Honda Rebel?
PS I live in the hills out of Adelaide South Australia plenty of of twisty roads 👍
Honda Rebel but we do prefer the cruiser look 👍🏼
It seems like every British guy who reviews this bike says it's the best thing ever, but all the other chaps seem to not be so sure.
I don’t know about that tbh. I’m certainly not patriotic so no bias there👍🏼
Triumph or mt 07? this is what i want to know
Triumph 100%
@@MrDarcy-OlMan even in terms of fun? like some people say the triumph is better at handling, suspension and stuff but the cp2 engine is more fun than the triumph
@@BrunoSantos04 If you can testride both that would be ideal, but we thought the Triumph was great fun
Hello, looking to buy my first bike next year. I'm 37 years old and never had riding experience. I'm looking at the trident as my 1st choice because everywhere I go I hear people saying it makes a great first bike because not too much power. Problem is I'm 6 foot 2 and 245 pounds... would you still recommend I go with the trident or would buying a 3 or 4 years old street triple be better suited for my size? I'm not a crazy guy looking to go 100 miles an hour on city streets and I won't be doing track days... I just want a bike I can grow into and have fun going to work and taking my wife out on the weekend for a ride. Open to comments and suggestions but triumph is a brand that looks amazing and the sound of the triple to me... nothing beats that! Thank you
We are the same height as you so you can see what you'd look like on it. The speed triple is way faster so not a good first bike. Have you looked at the Triumph Bonnevilles?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan hey thanks for answering so quickly! I think your channel is great because it gives great overall perspective from younger and older and smaller and bigger rider! I'll definitely have a look at the Bonneville and keep in mind your advice on the street triple! Cheers
A Bonneville 9-1200 would be a better choice. The 1200 would be a great 1st bike for your height & weight. The 900 would work, but after awhile you ‘ll wish you had bought the 1200. The 1200 Will be way better for two up on your bike with your wife as well. Whichever bike you choose, make sure you’re very very comfortable on it before you put your wife on it with you. Very important to be comfortable with some miles under your belt for sure! 8-10,000 miles atleast. Good luck & have fun. Check out Motojitsu’s channel on here. Greg’s channel is great! 👍🏼🎃
@@domg9186 heck get her a bonne 9 an u the 1200! both super low power an sit up straight. sound an looks, what can i say.
even the 1200 doesnt break 100BHP, and the 9 is less than half of that.
WTF? Am I looking at future, old guy you or past, young guy you?? Which one is the time traveler?! I’m so confused!!!
