Somewhere in the last 4-5 years, the cost of owning these high end bikes has increased exponentially, it has become tough to purchase a new machine (I did buy Tiger 800 in 2017, but now it is costing me really high).

Not only Bigger bikes but in last five years cost every bike have doubled..Ex back in 2015 i bought gixxer 150 which was about 80k now it cost about 1.5 on road
I think the Shumi is completely disappointed by the tiger :), its clearly evident. I could hear him saying, "what a shame" Triumph for getting and making this :)
@@powerdriftofficial how about them being first twin cylinder bike most Indian youngsters can actually own? Vs the kind of value other 650 cc bikes are? I know its like comparing TATA Harrier with actual Discovery Sports, but why not?
I think at this price point, honda cb 500x is a favourable proposition for a touring friendly motorcycle and it doesn't exude fumes and that parallel twin engine with reliability and refinement is an icing on the cake. With much better fuel efficiency and affordable maintenance cost it really makes sense now.
Well the new triumph tiger 660 is handsome look ADV Sports tourer. The design looks sharp and it gives a big bike feel compared to Trident 660 which it is based on. Then the 660 cc triple cylinder engine it has more power, its refined and it sounds absolutely superb.even. though the weight has gone up its still an easy to Ride bike. The extra power helps the tiger go faster. The features are also its good electronics, Bluetooth, navigation,etc. Yes thier are some issues it doesn't have that ADV stands compared to its rivals and bigger tiger, it's not as off road capable, also the price is little bit higher. Still its a very good choice for those who want a good looking practical sports touring bike. Love to see a comparison between the tiger - versys - and the V strom650 .

Thanks for the wonderful review Shumi.. waiting for the Comparison video.. In the mean time, I was wondering why PD has not reviewed Z900 yet [the updated one which was launched in 2020], It would be great if you guys could review the 900cc bikes like z900/F900R..
@@powerdriftofficial yes , but I’m a person with ortho issues ,30% disabled with left leg . Still I drive & ride with pride & enthusiasm.

I am not a potential buyer after having “experience” with triumph with tiger and Daytona, just curious that how triumph is going to justify almost 2L price difference from it’s closest competitor and hardly 1-1.5 L cheaper than its own elder brother which offers bigger and better engine, chassis, suspension, components like the meter console etc 🤷🏼♂️ Somehow the so called “costly” original shaft driven bike is feeling vfm now.
You should have completed your test ride on the rough roads as well, as marked by Triumph for reviwers on the media ride day before giving your honest opinion.
Not a big fan of this format of bikes, but this is Power Drift yo 😊🤘 so I'm gonna wait for the face off between the three bikes and then probably vote for one of them.
Shumi, like your review format and narration. You coverage of suspension in detail for all bike reviews is what I mainly look forward to. No one does it so well. The desirability of bike me starts with suspension which in India is poorly focused by most manufacturers.
By looks tiger 660 really looks more like faired Supersport bike from front. As a first time buy it will be good but with versus and vstrom it's gonna be difficult for the tiger. Considering versys 650 will be getting a huge update in its coming iteration
In my country versys cost It doesn't mean it is bad i had 2023 hornet and it was blast. It's just many people looking for something that is different. 2. 67hp vs 80hp is a significant difference
That’s a nice video… Haven’t seen anyone speak about the Tiger Sport 660 so honestly… A comparison video of Versys and Vstrom is very much welcome…. On a little crazy note would also love to see a comparison between this and the Tiger 850 sport just to understand if the price difference of the two is justified ….…
Thanks Shumi for very honest and precise video - i absolutely love the way you guys make your videos - huge fan - would certainly like a comparison video, though in my mind the Versys just makes a lot is sense. Eagerly look forward to the next video
seems like triumph tiger is giving away all the media models to almost every youtuber, because all you see on youtube since yesterday is 'first ride review of tiger 660'
The older tiger looks much better...they are really tinkering with the looks which in my opinion is not good.Seems to be the same story how the CBZ was destroyed sequentially
Excellent, this is what exactly I felt about suspension. Will it capable of doing 200kmphr is my primary question?. I don't like Versys 650 top end performance, poor weight management even though it has better suspension. And Vstrom is not available in TN, obviously single headlight is ugly. What could be your opinion Tiger sport 660 or else Tiger sport 850 is it worth putting extra 4.5 lakh ?
Let's see comparo between the trio. I'll definitely pick vstorm any day for its suspension and Suzuki's bullet proof reliability. Btw nice video shumi sir ❤
I do see some drawbacks in the motorcycle and rightly highlighted by Shumi, feel like Triumph could have provided a bigger pillion seat for better pillion comfort on long rides and cost also could have been priced well. Still looks like Versys and V Strom make a better case for themselves. #Raj RideStories
Hi shumi, I have a question... Whenever i ride bikes on mountains, after some time My mind gets switched to "auto-drive" mode where i just follow the road and curves. I don't like that mode cause there's room for mistakes and my response time to any situation gets lower. My friends suggest me to listen to songs but that too sounds risky. What is the solution to that??
Don't 'cruise' in the mountains, that's the only way that works for me. In my first ride, I went in the auto mode and almost ended up hitting a bus turning a blind curve.
@@Nikhilkumar-qj7ro I know it's difficult. What I'm trying to say is don't get into the constant speed zen like you would on the highway, keep alert and expect danger at any corner.
Why the name "TIGER" they should have introduced it by tha name " Trident 660 SPORT" with afdition of full fairing - a faired version of trident 660. As daytona was to street triple rs.
Super review Shumi and team PD. Really loved the reviews from PD, ZW & OD on this one. The comparison with the Versys and V Strom will be most instructive. Look forward to that one. The 660 Tiger has its work cut out. Depending on the kind of riding / use case one has, there’s something else at a comparable price point that would likely do it better, whether its the Versys, V Strom or even the Street Triple R.
Hey #PDArmy, Comment below what you think of the Tiger Sport 660. Give the video a Like if you wanna see the comparo.

I think a little suspension work will do ...
If cruising is all this bike can do, can we see a comparo with RE 650 twins?
