I rode the trident the other day, rear suspension was a little choppy on certain roads surfaces, and the throttle response was so smooth and easy to use I couldn’t see an issue. Overall I found it to be pretty spot on in this price bracket. It’s a proper motorbike for riders all ages and temperament, if you get me, I appreciate it has the A2 license facility however it is so much more than a novice bike.... I really liked it... good update review Bob. Cheers.

Fabulous video MB - not like the normal reviewers (one in particular YT'er who wobbles the handlebars and states the bike is 'flickable') you've covered all the angles in your usual style. Straightforward, thorough, engaging and informative. I've had a T120 since 2017 which I've modded to exactly where I want it and commute on it daily all year. Looking for a second bike for the winter commute and was tempted by the Tiger but now I've seen this ..... ?? Sincere thanks for making this and looking forward to future Trident vids.

Good video! I picked up my bike last week and I agree with you on the suspension and throttle. I can confirm that the ride is firm and so is the seat but the handling is really good. The ride may become more compliant with time. As for the throttle, its perfect for me. Its not as jerky as some ride by wire throttles I've dealt with. The throttle allows for easy application in slow speed environments and has a nice roll on. I have fitted the triumph round bar ends for this bike and they work really well. They match the design of the round dash and headlight. I noticed that on the back of the mirrors, the housing has a ribbed surface. This ribbing at is also present on another rounded surface, the shock towers. This bike is very nicely designed and assembled. I'm still 'running in' my bike and I find it light, nimble, fast enough and easy to ride. This is without doubt the best motorcycling purchase I've ever made.

True, we don't need 120 hp to have fun. I also don't need horrid copycat styling, 4 feet of clearance between the top of the rear tire and the bottom of the rear fender, a passenger perch with 8 feet of ground clearance, and as Mr. Perry mentioned "that awful swinging reg plate contraption:". A great engine and rolling chassis mated to putrid styling. I already have one of those - a second gen SV650.

I was loaned a Trident as a curtesy Bike when my Street Triple went in for a major service. I agree with you about the handling, It felt so nimble on twisty roads, light and sure footed. Suspension! just having preload is a real 'bummer' nowadays..I own the R version of the Striple which of course has pre-load plus damping adjustment. manufactures can, I'm sure make provision without increasing the price to much.We humans are so diverse in weight, suspension adjustment should be the norm. Overall I thought this bike was pretty good, would be a good choice for a new rider to step up to....But the 'turd in the water pipe' for me was that awful swinging reg plate contraption over the rear wheel...Apart from that, nice bike
