Your review is so refreshing and honest unlike those from the majority of motorcycling media in general.

This bike has nailed it here in India with the pricing. Smoked the competition.

Second impressions are often even better indicators than first! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks for the great coverage!

Anxiously awaiting your review of the Trident. We have one SV650 in the garage now. My son and I both ride it. Both of us find it very nice to ride. Don’t plan to sell it, but may add the new Trident to the pack we have now! Lol... I appreciate your honest and open reviews. Thanks. Ride safe!

just rode my one home from the dealer ! wow ! the torque is really there to use and it is so sure footed (in my opinion) that i was able to lean into all the corners and roundabouts on the 50km journey home ! (probably a little foolhardy on a bike that has new tyres and brakes) It handled it with ease ....gave me alot of confidence as a new rider !....now just the 4000rpm limit to hack and i'm set :)

Very nice initial review. Triumph IMHO did a great job R&D'ing this bike and producing it for the masses. I'm sure you will get a lot of pleasure out of this platform. Ride safe!

Awesome / This is the Bike i am going to buy tired of Heavy Bikes : )

Your videos are great to watch for many reasons, but one is how calm and simple they are. A serene experience. Thank you.

Good info! Red doesn't bother me, subjective stuff. Clutch lever could for my smaller hands and that rear license/mud/floating thing should be banned from all bikes. Notice the MT-09 got rid of it this season. Trident is very cool! Thanks! Have fun! Stay safe!

Lay off the DECAF mate ... show some excitement for this beauty !!

Great update, thanks for keeping us in the loop on your thoughts and experiences with your new motorcycle!

It's just been launched here in India. I'm looking to get my dad to buy one as he wants to get on motorcycling after a 10 year hiatus. Excellent video btw cheers 👍

Im getting one in four months, i cant wait.

Thanks again for an honest owners review, more realistic than most of the other reviews done by people who only have the bikes for a while and haven't actually put their own hard earned cash on one 👍

Nice and comprehensive real world feedback on the Trident. The bike sounds lovely too.

I have been very fortunate to have had an opportunity to ride a Trident 660 several times now and I absolutely love it! It is so much fun and it's so torque ridden in the low RPMs--it's very forgiving if you find yourself in the wrong gear. My girlfriend's daughter bought one of these and I have been teaching her on how to ride it, along with all of my acquired defensive driving skills I've pickup from years of driving 18 wheelers and with my years of safety training in construction and oil and gas industries. I am hoping that my imparted knowledge will help to keep her safe as she navigates riding around all of these crazy aggressive drivers out on the roads today. Anyway, the 660 is such a great bike! I really want one but I think would graduate up to a Street Triple 765 RS. The 765 still gets really great mpg but has more features and more power. The 1200 only gets like 37 mpg so I think that the 765 would be the perfect balance in the middle for me--but there is certainly nothing wrong with this 660. It's the first 3 cylinder I've EVER ridden and I would NOT go back to a 4 cylinder because of it! Triples just sound way too awesome to give that great sound up--and especially with their much flatter torque curves, seems like a no-brainer to me.

Love your review format! I hope Triumph offers an adjustable clutch lever. I’m probably weird, but smooth, play-free, quality levers and throttle have been a primary factor in my motorcycle buying decisions.

" ....carbon fiber, which as we all know will give the bike an extra 5 horsepower! "

Hi, did you get the My Triumph Connectivity Module, and if you did, how well is it working? I am also interested in the fuel consumption, as I will be exchanging my PCX 150 for the Trident, however, I am not expecting the same consumption.

Thanks for an honest review. I was waiting for you to overlook flaws but as the owner other the same model as your former bike, the F900XR, I was pleased that you told it like it was. However, apart from your correct observation of the church pew, I still feel the BMW the has the edge!

I love the red! This is my favorite colour combination by far, for this bike. Of course, I have a red Ducati Monster, so this little bit of red is nothing in comparison. 🙂

Just a sidenote, the preload adjuster is just there to set the correct ride hight (negative and positive suspention travel) under different loads. It is not there to adjust the stiffness of the ride... That only works if you have fully adjustable dampers.

Thank you for information. What is the space under the seat? It is possible to have a first aid kit or a disc lock here?

Love the style and content of your videos, (apart from that horrid phrase confidence inspiring) Can I say surely you have read and seen enough videos, confirming pre - load only affects sag and ride height it will make no difference to ride quality. Look forward to next video.

I personally like the swing arm mounted license plate arm, compared to the under tail type.

Yes I am 28 and I am eagerly waiting to own this bike after I will add final some numbers in the budget to purchase my first bike. This bike looking very exciting and maintenance friendly too. Also your video is helping me much more before I proceed to purchase this beauty. Would love to hear more from you.

Thanks a lot for the nice video again. I would really be excited to see a review for one with a quick shifter. I think it will really compliment the reviews i have been hearing so far.

I pre-booked the Trident ( *white* ) in December, here in India, it'll be delivered to me in March. Don't know if i should cancel my booking or not ! after hearing about its shortcomings, eg. Long Travel of Clutch Lever (i am short, 5'6", so my hands/fingers aren't big/long) ... & Vibrations at 75+ MPH speed, ... & extra-wide Radiator ... & horn placement, & firm suspension ... & position of numer-plate & foot-pegs, ... etc. Thanks, Regards.

Very informative review, it's easy to start looking to see where Triumph has saved the pennies, but that is exactly how they've managed to offer this bike at an affordable price.

The bike has arrived in my country and absolute thanks to you for such detailed and equally beautiful vlog 🙏🔥👍

Great review - thank you! I'm a 2016 Street Twin owner and seriously contemplating trading in for this bike. I do mostly inner city riding and find the 900cc is overkill. I do however love the guttural sound that a twin cylinder makes (I've done a decat and put in K&N filter so it's even gruntier). Look forward to perhaps a long term ownership review down the road. Ride safe..!

V-Trec levers from the Street Cup fit straight on look good too. Lots of colour variations

exhaust sounds awesome. Sweet review.

Thanks for your time & effort bringing us these reviews mate

I can see these bikes 10 years from now having never had the oil changed. as a professional mechanic I strongly recommend changing the oil every 3000 miles or every year whichever one comes first. Extended maintenance intervals exist for the convenience of the customer not the health of the machine.

You have chosen one of the best motorcycles on the international market today according to my opinion and without discrediting the large number of models. Triumph is a lifelong brand that has contributed to many innovations and very good ideas such as the three-cylinder engine, which is a great success, and very successful models such as this motorcycle or the Tigers or the Speed ​​Triple 1200 or the Street Triple. 765 RS which is the one that I like the most and that I cannot buy not because of its reasonable price but because I would have to separate from my wife before because she is against motorcycles. I appreciate your videos very much because you always give them a human and honest character with a lot of information that is highly appreciated. Thank you very much and take care. All the best.

Nice video...again, can’t wait for the upcoming updates as quickshifter and bluetooth !

Sounds like the man has been let lose in a sweet shop! The red bits do need to be toned down just so that no one can accuse you of a mid-life crisis :). You’re obviously very chuffed with the little Trumpet and it sounds like a Castle Class giving it the beans, which is a bonus in my view, but I am in the older demographic. I would suggest that any add-ons are kept discrete so as not to spoil the lines of the machine, and if pillion is not an issue then defo ditch the rear pegs. I believe that tyres are so expensive that you should look to use all of the available tread area! Looking forward to next instalment Stay safe fella Strickers

Spectacular looking bike sir

Love these, everything it correct. Thanks for the video, so glad you found the bike that suits you. Pilot roads are the best tyres ever made 3/4/5s. There is no other tyre I've ever used that has this wet weather grip.

I agree with the front fender red highlight. it needs to be gray or black. Great video sir I love your voice hehe. I wish you continue to make videos of your sweet Trident. Like a long term ownership review. Cheers and always ride safe sir.

You can adjust the clutch in a way, by moving the whole lever along the bar, the way a lever works mean you will have more leverage hence easier to pull...

The slightly high fuel consumption is not because the engine is "tight". I promise you it isn't. The fuel consumption will be better at higher revs (which I'm aware isn't the common belief) which you can use when you've finished the run-in procedure.

Maybe a question for the next video. Does the red underseat cover need a paint protection film due to debris/dirt coming from the rear tire? And looking forward to the review of the quickshifter :)

I don't think preload affects hardness/softness of suspension, just rear height

Very informative, thanks. Somewhat disappointing fuel consumption for a lower performance engine. Also, I do enjoy your audio voice ovet , very clear , great improvement over other youtube presenters who combine their audio with ridjng the motorcycle. Many thanks for all your efforts.

I really lilke the look and the sound of the bike! I think you made a good choice if it makes you smile during your rides ;) bought a new bike too some days ago - will get my versys 650 next week :))

Thank you. Glad you are happy. I have to admit I want to see it redline when the break in is over. ;) I like the naked but for me the more up right riding position version will probably be the one to get. But I am very excited by the triple engine. It seems sweet. I hope they dont introduce vibration to give it "character". Have a good weekend

Excellent review! I hope Triumph is watching and makes some tweaks that reflect your inputs, some of which (long reach to the clutch lever, high gas tank cut-outs, ugly plate holder) I have seen on other reviews. Can you please say where you got that beautiful leather key cover?

WOW, can't wait to hear your thoughts about the bike!

Thank you for your impressions.I am going to change my 2015 mt07 with this bike I Just returned from the dealer. I opted for the sapphire black one with TPMS and passenger handles I really don't understand the point of the Bluetooth module because all the intercom systems are capable to manage music and phone calls. The really useful option I can think about it is integration on navigation system but it seems too expensive for such rare use. IMHO

You have a nice soothing voice as if a Honda humbled you once. I just can't get over how pretty the Trident is. I think it blows away the CB650R in looks.

Nice review, note your comments on a tank pad. Tank pads are something I have never understood it’s a bit like keeping the plastic covers on seats. Tank pads might stop scratching but they stop it on a part of the bike you’ll never see because it’s covered with a tank pad. I never add one and if I do happen to get any small scratches then it’s easy to cover them with a tank pad before you sell👍

The fuel consuption....we need actual numbers on that :)

The zoom in on the rear swing arm @8m30s shows the same steel construction method as the MT07 with 2 sections welded together along a seam . Yamaha owners will typically see rust form along that joint . It’ll be interesting to see if the trident suffers the same rust issues with U.K. riders .

in terms of the ride, how does it compares to the CB650R?

Great video I think it's a great little bike for commuting or even going for a Sunday blast looking forward to next video's stay safe 🇬🇧👍

Well that looks like a fine motorcycle indeed....it looks well put together and very good quality...will you be fitting a rad guard?...as you say it looks quite wide and might pick up the odd flying stone/debris.....I reckon this will be a fun bike to blat around on...review nicely delivered as always...enjoy your new bike and many happy miles👍...oh...nice to see decent tyres fitted as standard.

@ 11:03 hard to tell if there’s a white border to the big triumph logo straight line or if that decal just looks that obvious

A comment on the headlights. I have had my Trident for a few weeks, and at night (the only time I took it out), in a short ride (30 odd minutes) two cars flashed their lights at me as if to tell me I had my high beam light on (and no, I did not have it on). So the light at night is powerful.

I noticed the same with clutch lever and have changed to midi aftermarket adjustable ones from Germany, delivered within a week and fitted. Perfect.

I like the Trident but as a one bike person I'm not sure of its versatility. Currently own a V Strom 650. Its a quandary..... Really enjoy your content.

I'm 72 and returning to riding after 40+ years. My last bike was a 1976 Honda CB400F and I loved it. So I was planning on going Japanese after taking the MSF Basic Course this March. That is, until my nephew told me about the Trident. He's been riding since he could walk and was excited about the upcoming release of the Trident 660. We don't have the Trident 660 here yet so I've spent the last month reading and watching all I could. I too prefer the silver, but I will not live with the red "accents". Unfortunately, from what I've seen of all four Trident color combos, not even the matte black bike has black radiator side covers. They're silver. So rather than have the red "accents" of the silver bike professionally painted, I can live with the matte black Trident 660 and maybe even learn to love the colors, though that bright white Triumph logo is a little loud. I agree with you, Triumph definitely blew it with the silver/red combo. Yet, even if the Trident 660 only came in yellow/vomit, I would still want to test ride it and probably buy it and have it repainted if it's anywhere near as good as the reviews. Thanks for your posting and I look forward to your one month review. Good luck and blessings with your new Trident 660!

The plate holder looks great to me, much better than a rainbow arch tail on the back end..

I'm really susceptible to engine vibrations and they're very annoying to me. I noticed from some of your previous videos that they bother you as well. How is this one to you

enjoyed your honest review of your trident ,no motorcycle is perfect. .ride safe .

Great video, I'm still thinking am I going to be too old to be riding this bike at 50 after seeing ages of people who are interested in the trident ! Silver is the colour to have but could be a bit less red.. waiting to see how build quality stands up, Trident 660 or CB650r ??!

Thank you for the Trident videos....I'm waiting for mine ☺️I would like to ask a question. Is the tank metal and covered with plastic? Thanks🙂

Between this and the Honda. If this bike was made in the UK I would probably have gone for it. But because both bikes are made in Thailand I’ve gone for the Honda. You know a Honda will always be reliable. It’s a shame had a Daytona back in 04. Loved it and loved the factory tours. Now that’s all gone just thinking about best bike for my cash. Nice video.🙌

Do you think there’s any chance the minor vibrations in the handlebars and pegs at 75mph could improve slightly as the bike is broken in, sort of like the gas mileage? Either way I don’t think it’s a dealbreaker for me; it still sounds very lovely for the price. I really appreciate the detailed coverage.

please tell us the mileage figures there is a lot o uncertainty around it online as truimph have not disclosed these figures

Thanks RM , great informative clip as usual! Enjoy.

Lovely bike in deed. Do you ever tried out the CB650R? If so, major differents, if not, try out. It´s a good dinamic comparative. Look wise the XSR 700 is pretty cool to but tec wise the Honda and the Triumph are miles away. You might get in trouble here if you take the rear footpegs...yeah i know...The red bits may look better if get some logo´s in black...Good luck with the bike. Hope to see you on the road.

That’s the first time I’ve heard a triple exhaust. I haven’t really paid attention to triumph as they have never been on my radar. Sounds sweet though and will hopefully be getting a trident 🙏

Congratulations on the new bike ,looks a beaut . Be interested to see about long term reliability . I bought last of the old model Triumph street twin brand new. Had a few issues ,mainly electrics. Triumph electrics a big secret , particularly on the liquid cooled Bonneville range. Sixty three thousand units {so far} with faulty wiring harnesses . Mine had a complete new harness with 1200 miles on the clock {just in warranty}. Don't think i will buy another . A big secret on Triumphs part.

I do like the bike but its interesting what you say about servicing. In the earlier Triumph launch vids they say service costs will be lower but if you're a low to average miles rider you are going to still need to service yearly if you want them to honour warranty work. My BMW mini car service plan only wants to see the vehicle at the correct mileage.

You will need to get a lighter spring for the rear. Moving the adjuster only changes the breakaway point and not the spring rate. Hope this helps?

Great review. Looking for an upgrade and it seems this would fit my need(and wants). Will you be doing any modification to the pipe/muffler?

I know this is an old video and still a good review. Just want to provide a different perspective on the clutch. I'm used to a cruiser with a pretty far clutch. I don't find this clutch to be difficult and I have very small hands. That being said it is a matter of perception and you should do what works best for you so that you are comfortable.

Did you find any play (Delay) in the throttle?

I don't know if this question has been asked or not, but here is mine: Have you measure ground clearance? By the way, great videos!

Thanks for the review! Unexpected question maybe - where did you get your key cover? 😊

Great info and looking forward to the mod video too. I wonder what you'd recommend for someone's first bigger bike (moving from a 50hp) - This or a second hand Triple R for the same (possibly less) money?

Have you ridden a cb650r, and how does it compare to the trident?

Re suspension, you know that short C-spanner? There's usually a little tube that pops on the end to make it longer, I'd struggled for years before I realised, doh! This is where centre stands really help as it reduces the weight on the shock

How does it compare with the cb 650 and z 650?

That bit about needing annual service is the biggest thing manufacturers fail to make clear. That’s not ok IMO.

The red is effect is so you will seen / the black and grey blend with the road!

Great reviews. I’ve bought the black sapphire as it was last colour in the dealership…I’m not keen on the silver colours of the radiator cowl or silver footpeg rests and brackets on either side. I’d much prefer them in same black as the tank. I’m hoping aftermarket will offer these changes down the track. Looking forward to more vids and thoughts.

That looks quality, in fact, I like the red bits but less impressed with the Trident ‘knee pad’ area which jars a bit with me. This would make an excellent commuting bike with sufficient power/looks/ weight to get the job done. Enjoy!

I own a street triple. I was wondering if you’re feeling any heat . I live in a hot climate and the street triple can get quite hot ion the underside of my thighs.

35yrs old and looking to do my license later this year. It is a great bike but I'm most likely buying second hand as a first bike. Cheers

Great video! Please, in the Mods video, tell ur thoughts about juggage bags options. I realy liked SW Motech for Street Triple models. P.S. Subscribed

Where did you get the 3M cover from and did you cut it on your own or was it already fitted?! Best regards and always drive safe.

RM where would one find that lovely leather key cover?

Please do video on cb650r vs trident 660 bro. I am confused between these two bikes

Great review, question I have an adventure bike bmw gs850. I find it a bit boring. Was looking at the 2022 trident or the triple r since you have had both which do you prefer??

Great review. Did you trade in your Street? And where did you get that key holder!!!

Great video. Thanks for your honesty. I was thinking of trading my CB650R in for the Triumph, I don’t think I’ll bother now.

The key holder and loop are awesome. Can you tell me where to get one?
