Please don't use WD40 on your chain. It's not a lubricant and as cleaner will kill your O rings which will lead to your chain failing. Always best to use a specialist chain cleaner and lubricant. Besides that little point I loved the vid as always.
@@SaffySprocket You just put my mind to ease Saffy. So many people think regular WD40 will clean and lube chains and sadly I have seen bike chains snap during rides from it hence my worries 🙈 Thanks for clarifying it's the specialist chain lube you use. Would hate to see something like that happen to you.
@@kevinstone2303 that's a bs myth. Wd40 doesn't kill o-rings. It will clean a chain from rust and debris but it's not a lubricant for your chain. If someone is solely using it for a lubricant then that's where you're getting breaks.
This bike has been available for 9 months and reviewed to death ~ however ~ you have brought a whole new fresh approach to it and I thoroughly enjoyed your review. I own a Trident and agree with all you said about it. Subscribed!!
Fantastic review! And so well laid out... Most reviewers just tell you what the riding position is like... but you showed us too and for the pillion. You do such a good job... The best reviews I've seen so far... Very thorough and detailed yet nicely absent of pointless waffle. Brilliant... All bike companies should loan you their machines for reviewing!
I am really keen to buy this bike and have watched countless reviews. This was one of the best. Great job! Really appreciated your no nonsense approach and real world commentary. Thank you. . . . And I’ve subscribed.
Thank you for your video on Triumph Trident 660. I’ve it since 1 month and she’s amazing for me who just have my driving license. Thank you from France 🇫🇷, and sorry for my english 😢😢😢
Thoroughly enjoyable review Saffy, nice back but no rear end, where do you carry your gear! Love the bit where you went crazy with excitement when riding the 660 and had to calm yourself down. More please.
Just come across your Videos Saffy. Got to say they are very good. And its refreshing that we have Female Vlogger giving a mixture of bike reviews , equipment reviews,and travel reviews and advice.Im hooked.👍
Nice to see you out and about Saffy . Nice review but not the bike for me . We are thinking of heading over next year ,unfortunately it won't be on a bike ,my wifes days of riding pillion are over . So if you see someone waving frantically don't worry it's only us . Take care ride safe Mal in Australia
I think that's the great thing about biking, there's a bike our there for everyone (and also bikes that aren't great) I could imagine this being quite a popular bike with new female bikers- it's very unintimidating
Beam flash is on the left front of the switch gear, give it a little squeeze and the lights go between high beam and low Triumph call it the Flash/Pass button.
Ps, Always enjoy your video’s mainly because you sound like your always having fun and I like the fact you leave in the little things like getting lost 🤣
Yeh that's what I was referring to when I was talking about how it feels like a video game gun trigger but you can only switch between full and dim beam- no flash option! You can rapidly hit the switch to flash but I just wanted people to be aware!
Great review thanks. Passed my test this year and have been lusting over the Trident, but the dealer informs me it'll be well into next year before I can buy one 😥
Great review saffy , although I love watching your reviews, I’m really looking forward to spring and hopefully some more of your spontaneous overnight adventures 👏😁👍🏼 brilliant God winters not started yet and already it’s to long 😩
Lovely review. Keep changing bikes and this makes me want to test one! I live in Paris and do a lot of filtering, and not enough country lanes as they take forever to get to! But I'll take one for a spin at my local dealer's. My current bike is a Fantic Scramble 500, which will be hard to beat for my current conditions!
I personally don’t like the rear of modern bikes, the rear light/reg holders. Like you said in your video being a pillion, you would get covered in the spray from the rear wheel. A proper seat and mug guard would be a better option
@@SaffySprocket My solution to carry luggage on the SV650 was a KAPPA Z3111 rack and a top case. Even a rucksack it's no problem: my road trips take at least no more than seven days,so I don't need a lot of room. (I stay at hotels, no camping gear to transport). But regarding handling and engine response, which one you consider the best suited for a one day ride in the twisties?

Not for me but I’m so excited to hear how happy you were riding it that alone is priceless and I wish I could afford to buy you one! Great review I really enjoyed it 👍👸
I have a problem with Triumph when they quite happily exploit the "Britishness" of the brand, using the Union Flag on everything and then take all of their manufacturing to the far east........
@@MarianChicu I think Rolls Royce and Bentley would disagree with you.....Failures have usually been down to poor management, poor investments and militant workers. There's no reason that manufacturing in the UK could not be a success.
@@SaffySprocket There is a maintenance light that will come on at intervals for oil change… you can change it yourself, but to get the oil light to go off, you have to take it to the dealer and get charged. Same with all features, everything is through the dealer at a charge. It’s too bad too, I’ve been looking at the trident for months and this killed it for me. Be safe and ride on Saffy.
Triumph are being more than a little bit cheeky putting the Union Jacks on the tank considering that practically all their bikes are made in three factories in Thailand nowadays. I have had various new Triumphs for over 20 years now and I am highly unimpressed with the movement of production from the UK.
It’s a bit like Apple they stamp “Designed in California” on all mobiles and Tablets but they are all made elsewhere Triumph has six-world class factories around the world. Two of these factories are based in Hinckley in the UK, just a stone’s throw from the Mallory Park race track. There are also three factories in Chonburi, Thailand, and one in Manaus, Brazil. Every Triumph motorcycle begins its life in Hinckley, where all of our design work, prototype construction and engineering takes place. Designed in England will be what they’ll argue
Would people buy Triumphs if they were 4x the price for the sake of being made in the Uk? Because I'm not convinced they would. People want competitive prices and in order to get those competitive prices, you need to outsource to overseas counties where the cost of labour is much smaller
@@SaffySprocket Triumphs wouldn't be 4x the price if they were manufactured in the UK and before you blame Brexit, Triumph had already massively cut down on production at Hinckley before the referendum. Moto Guzzi and BMW make most of their bikes in Europe, so why don't Triumph? Greed
Probably because Triumph is a smaller market player, they don't have the same buying capacity. BMW has a huge market share and can access bulk discounts which Triumph probably won't be able to access thanks to anti-competative laws
I can give you chain lubricators brand after my 20 years experienced. Not wd 40 😂of course I don’t like also motul and ı pone… my choice würth chain lubricator 👍 is the best
Saffy you're very good, beautiful and joyful woman motorcyclist🏍️🏍️🏍️Eat well, Sleep well and be healthy for doing several Tours on your Favourite Motorcycle Triumph🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 you're very good person🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
DON'T TRUST HER! She's British and the British cannot be trusted to be objective on anything Triumph. However, plenty of others love this bike and I do believe I will buy one.
