7 things I LOVE & HATE about my Triumph Trident 660 

Apologies for the shaky video; I was experimenting with a new camera position (strapped to my chest, no image stabilisation). I will probably be going back to the good old helmet-mounted cam next time :)

I remember the late great Sabine Schmitz saying that if she could only upgrade one thing in a car, it would be the brakes. “You can only go as fast as you can brake”

You've had yours for 3 months, and I'm here still waiting for mine.

You provide such great real-life perspective on the bikes you review! Glad you’re enjoying the Trident!

Love your measured, intelligent delivery. Picking up my Trident next week! Cheers mate... keep up the good work!

Thanks for the updates, and well considered reviews/comments. I have had the same colour ordered 5 weeks, expected into my dealers very soon. I had a demo today, absolutely loved it, and can’t wait to pick it up.

What a nice honest review, it's nice to know it's shortcomings even if fairly trivial. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the video. I was waiting for more trident content! I’ve had the Trident for 3 weeks. Love the bike.

Thank you. Finally - someone who isn’t just gushing over a bike which, like all bikes, has it’s limitations.

Last Friday i ordered mine, it will come in June and i am so excited. Thanks to your Videos (and some other info gathering) I am getting the matt black with grey aesthetics :D

Stunning scenery, fantastic video! If I was in the market for a motorcycle in this category this video would be extremely helpful.

Always pleasant to watch your carefully narrated videos. Trident definitely hit the spot with that bike, it is the one I would go to if I were to switch now - I'll keep logging more miles and experience until such change begins to make more sense for me. I must insist @RocketMan, that if you want proper navigation you must find a way to strap your mobile phone to handlebar or in the end of the fork.

I gave up my gen 1 V-Strom 650 for a gen 1 cb500x. I don't miss the power so much. As you stated, the most fun to be had is often not at "high speed" but at full throttle. I am constantly battling my desire for comfort and practicality with my desire for excitement and fun. Ultimately, practicality wins out. That's why the cb500x is for me. I feel that the trident is the closest you have come to that perfect mixture of assets for your preferences.

Great video - the camera shake didn't bother me too much. Your reviews are from the heart and you have an easy listening voice, logical review structure and the video is well edited. The Trident came out too late for me. After 32 years of family and no bikes, I watched the reviews of the RE650 Interceptor, several Reviewers bought one!! So did I - great price point, easy to ride and fun. Wife said there was no room for two up riding so I bought an R1200RT as well. So having fun on that too! 6,000kms on each bike over last 12 months! The Trident would have been my one bike selection, although not sure about touring or pillion riding.

Greetings RM, another informative and well-presented video. You have an interesting and soothing narrative style which leads me to suggest that you might consider developing hybrid presentations that serve as travelogues of motorcycle touring in Portugal, including narratives about the Portuguese countryside, towns, historical features, as well as the usual commentary about motorcycling. As a kid, I loved the televised travelogues of an itinerant bicycle rider that were interesting from both a bicycling and place-based perspective. I know, easy for me to suggest; another matter to produce! Many thanks!

The triple is definitely a redeeming quality for any shortfalls in the Triumph! The triple sounds so good and has excellent power. Ride safe my friend!

Thank you for the honest and down to earth reviews. Love your videos. (11:20 still too much wax on the T-logo. Time to bring out the toothbrush and clean up the residue.)

holy sh*t i saw you the other day passing by albufeira.... im looking to buy the trident as my second bike and you make me fall in love with that bike hahaha btw thats me 1:22 :P

Great video and nice to keep it down to earth. Theres enough hyperbole on the trident already! Nice scenery for the ride too. Subscribed!

Thanks for a fine video. I've been seriously considering buying the Trident and I now got some new substance for pondering. A second point - it's very nice to listen to your English.

Informative video as always, What I am really interested in is Triumph using the trident platform for a mid range adventure bike...(as illustrated in their background image at a recent presentation) now if they can pull that off!

Thanks for the update!!

Great video. I'm very curious what maintenance and reliability will be like further down the road. Maybe an idea for a future video~~

Thanks for the amazing video! There is no “perfect bike”, only bike that suit your style and the Trident is the bike for me. It’s compact, light, premium looking and enough HP to my liking. I live in Viet Nam and had the Trident for 3 weeks, absolutely loving it! I’m going to install the Accossato clutch lever, brembo RCS19 brake lever with dual sliding brembo brake calipers on the front next

I’m my opinion this is the standard all trident reviews should be aiming for, superb. I was very close to signing on the pcp dotted line for one of these but went for one of the last twin exhaust street triple 675 models with only 7000 miles for half the price. I have to agree the trident has plenty of go but the extra 20hp I have gives it everything I need for the road. There’s also far less sign of penny pinching on fittings etc. Mind you my previous bike was a 1999 Suzuki so a 2012 street triple is like a bike from the future for me! Great review, much appreciated.

Great video with honest opinions. That bone shaking ride at 6:25 looked painful, even though the roads looked relatively pothole free. The suspension is definitely something to sort out.

You describing exactly what I've experienced on my loved FZ6R (XJ6). Lovely bike but always wanted 15-20hp more.

Thanks for Your Videos Rocket Man you helped me decide on which bike I got . It’s My First Triumph - ride Safe Memo .

Great review man

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching your video and your thoughts on the 660 trident. I’ve had mine for two months now and have a couple of niggles having covered 2500 miles. (the sheep in the Lake District wave as I pass now). In saying that I’ve cured most of the niggles and like yourself I opted for the TEC clutch and brake lever as the reach for the clutch was to great. I was looking for a tail tidy but the looks of the number plate hugger has grown on me and looks mint with a baby number plate. Looks more in keeping with the bike than the road legal one (sorry Dibble but it’s purely cosmetic, honestly). The seat is quite hard for my boney old @rse but a gel touring cushion has overcome that. Again partly cosmetic but thinking about stone damage I added a triumph logoed radiator cover in black, looks good. Not so good and as you say is the red plastic side radiator cover, plus the red flashing on the front mudguard, cheap looking. I’ll look at replacing the side radiator cover if and when something kinder to the eye comes out but I’ve replaced the front mudguard with gloss black. Spent a fortune on a “cheap” bike which I know is unrecoverable but I love the thing. To Many plus points to list

Beautiful bike at a stunning location. Useful info too as I'm looking for a new toy myself and the 660 is pulling me in.

Great video and I agree with all your points having had mine for a couple of months now. Only thing is I don't quite agree on comparing the breaks to those of other bikes in the Triumph range given the price differential.

I know I'm commenting late, but I agree with all of this. I love my Trident, but you're right-it'd be fun to have 10-15 more HP (though it doesn't really NEED it), slightly sharper brakes, and, for me, a metal tank. I also think it would be nice to have a "sport" mode to sharpen the throttle response in lower gears a bit. But overall it's been a great bike the past year for me.

Enjoyed your video! Seems like a nice "light" bike to add to the 890 R Duke in the garage....

My Trident has just passed 500 miles running in and I love it. The finish, ride and look of the bike are awesome. Seat fine for long trips. Just fitted paddock stand bobbins. Easy fit.

Great summary, great lookin bike. Minor aspects really, overall it seems a very enjoyable ride... Agree the price is pretty spot on.

What a refreshing review, congrats mate! Top quality! If you could help me out, I owned a 2013 street triple r, the. switched it for a 2016 daytona sold my bike in 2019. I’ve been looking to get back on two wheels. Do you think the trident is good for that or will I miss the power on the daytona or striple? It’s either this or the striple for me, so any input is appreciated. Awesome channel!

Interesting observation regarding the cost to buy vs enjoyment. When I got my license I test rode a 10-year-old Bandit, at the same time as a new Tiger 800 (dream bike), I went for the Bandit as a ‘first bike’ in case the inevitable drop took place in my first year, but after riding both back to back, wasn’t upset with choosing the cheaper older bike.

Thank you for your honesty. Regarding power: I like more of it, because then I don`t have to wring it`s neck all the time, making me a calmer rider.... Everything is about personal preference.

Nice review, helpful not like all the other white noise out there.

Hi there rocketman. Please do a cover of “my money dont jiggle jiggle, it folds” sincerely, viral internet

What a great narration your voice is smooth.

Thank you for the wonderful follow up review. I have the Trident in Sapphire Black and found that adding the round bar-end mirrors significantly added to the aesthetics. I am not particularly impressed by the sound of the engine, as the whoosh seems more like cylinders suffering from asthma, but then that''s a subjective thing. If you get the chance, please test the new Ducati monster, and share a comparative review. While the two would not fall in the same category by cc size or price, the extra hp may be a remedy for what the Trident lacks. Best regards.

Your reasons are those of the veterans. I subscribe them. That' s why I keep my beloved Royal Enfield Classic 500. She is the best toy. The only bike I dream about at a veteran age is a Harley Softail , an Indian Chief 2021... or a Vespa HPE 300 (always keeping the Classic 500 if I had space in the garage),😎 Your videos always taste to me like my last 2020 holidays at Lagos beaches. Thank you.

Good video and good points about the bike.

Great review. Thank you. Only another three months before mine arrives… I have a nice little stack of extras over and above the triumph catalogue contents :-)

Had mine for about 2 weeks now, the same color, love every bit of it. The engine, even with factory exhaust, sounds so good and plenty powerful for me. The only thing I find a bit "unfinished" is the front area of the instrument panel, the 3 silver screws. I'm adding a black fly screen.

I agree with so much of your appraisal. I removed my rear pegs looks so much better. the ride is very harsh on bumpy roads I may have to invest in a rear shock when more reasonably priced options arrive. Mine is same colour , the red is growing on me, not made my mind up about the tail tidy options.Levers not decided upon yet ,either still running in which is a pain limiting the revs as it's so keen to wizz.Cheers

Great review, I watched your f900xr review before I went with money in my hand to purchase r version. I thought you were to rough on bmw but when I went to a dealership, checked the bike, I was really disappointed with it so I left in 15 min from there. Now I’m thinking about Trident and there is your excellent review on it😂😂😂 We have pretty similar taste 😂😂😂

Nicely done.

Great video 👍

This is almost the same reason why i chose V-Strom 1000 over fancy GS/Tiger/Multistrada or other adv bike. Because it can do all that other bikes can but for a lower price and you never think that you spent too much money. You know what you paid for and it makes you happy in long term.

Couldn’t agree more with your comments. Although I’m not in the market for one, I do believe it represents good bang for your buck when compared to other machines in this sector. Obviously not an issue for you in the sunny climbs of Southern Portugal, but here in the UK, heated grips would be nice. If I had one, would definitely add after market heated grips and maybe some sort of a headlight guard and radiator guard together with a longer front mudguard, just to help protect.

Nice review as usual. The Trident is a bike I'm considering buying after 20 plus years away from riding, it seems to be an ideal way to get back into it without spending a fortune. You did surprise me though when you said it begins to run out of steam at 6500rpm, doesn't the triple engine give it the bottom end of a twin and some of the top end of an inline four?, 6500rpm seems very early for the power to be tailing off.

Hey there rocketman, great vid and ride you got there! I am so in between mt07 and trident 660 that i dont know which one to buy next winter. I absolutely love the looks on both, but i am more inclined to trident for better sound, but then again mt is cheaper. I was also wondering about the throttle experience. People tend to say that the ride by wire in trident isnt as responsive as it should. While i tested out both mt07 and trident, it didnt feel much of a difference in terms of throttle response, just a tiny bit of a delay on trident. Whats your take on this?

I know you have moved on from the Trident, but I really enjoy your observations which are really fair and mostly spot on, I owned a Street twin (2017) and now have a RE 650cc Interceptor, which I am loathe to give up as it harkens back to those halcyon days when I was riding 1965 tt specials. I can't afford a Speed twin so the price of the Trident puts it in reach as a second bike, You review is encouraging as I have heard from other it is somewhat anemic. I will go test ride one with all this in mind, thanks.

For me it’s come down to this or the Z650. There are some differences such as less horsepower and lack of traction control on the Z. But I do like the Z has a metal tank to which I can add proper rubber tank grips, the larger TFT display and ergos fit me a little better. But the Trident has the tires I want (would have to change them out on the Z), and no dealers within 500 miles have a Z650 with ABS. What a time to have such tough decisions! I feel like I may be happy with either, and since I’ve been without a bike for a few weeks, I’m leaning Trident. Thank you for your videos.

Love your reviews! I noticed you have a clear tank guard. Where did you get that? Please share a link. All good points you noticed even some I haven’t. Are the brakes a deal breaker?I like the Street triple brakes too. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks RM. Good dit and as always measured and useful. I pick up my Tri660 on 30th Apr. Already ordered R&G shock sock, screen protector, & Pyramid Plastics fender extender and hugger extender to keep the cast off minimised. I'll treat it to some ACF 50 on the underside etc to keep the alloy bits looking good.....ohh for the dry Med climate. Worked a treat with my 12 yr old Tiger 800. Looks like I need to avoid the bumpy roads until some Swedish gold is available.

Thanks for the video better a real world commentary. 1) The gears are too close, 6th gear on this bike is like 4th on my other bikes. (750cc, 462cc, 800cc) 2) The rear brake is light compared to my other bikes (even the Himalayan!) 3) The fuel warning screen comes on without a DTE. It already has DTE, covers it up with the new screen. The two bars on the fuel indicator isn't specific enough.

Love the style

I have a Triumph Trident 660 in the garage. I will list some things, that in my opinion would make the bike better for me. 1. A bigger petrol tank. Even a few more liters would be great. Also given that the supposed grip indentation in the tank is for your legs, but is too high to reach, they could have squeezed in some more petrol in the tank. 2. A bit more power. We all know Triumph can get more power out of this great engine. Or you can make a Trident 1200. That would be a blast. 3. Better brakes. Brembo ? 4. Better suspension. Ohlins ? 5. Better dash. The dash is nice. But a full colour, round!, TFT display would be great (yes with a few different display modes). Maybe 3 and 4 could be an S version!. The brand new Triumph Trident 660S!.

You have the voice of a god lmao great content I subbed

Hi RocketMan. Greetings from a portuguese! I don't know how long have you been living in Algarve, but I hope you're enjoying it! Also I know I'm a bit late on commenting regarding the time you've posted this video, but I'm torn between the CB650r and the Trident (although more inclined for the Trident). I would like to know if you found any particular problem with the trident regarding reliability for the time you had it. That's what's been keeping me undecided between the Honda and the Triumph, the reliability between the brands. Keep making great content like this!

Zero storage space wouldn't necessarily stop me buying this as there are always tank bags. I don't like the sound of the overly firm suspension. Algarve backroads etc. The other things you mention wouldn't bother me. When the engine is a bike's best feature, it is worth buying. I like the way the registration plate is mounted. The dash is superb, and this matters to me because you see it when riding. If you have no issues with this bike over the coming months, I will consider one when I get back to Lagos. I want to replace my gargantuan 1700 cc cruiser-engined MT-01 with a bike that is less than 750 cc, just for use around the Algarve. The usual first-class video, RM.

Very nice video as usual... You can do some post processing on the video to clear some of the shakiness...it is something that even iMovie does :D... About street riding I am with you... Full throttle, doing drag races with pizza delivery guys at the stop lights and without entering the ilegal speed zone?! Sign me in :D

Thx for the vid, it’s definitely a fun bike 👍🏻 I’m 1,89 cm & still fit well. To be honest, don’t think, it looks really cool, but anyway: it feels so light and easy to ride (vs. my R1250R). And for the price you can’t get better (ok, who likes the MT-07, but the Triumph looks more beautiful 🤩🥰 ... for around town, coffe race or a day trip here out in the black Forrest: perfect bike - well done Triumph 👌🏻🌅

Seems to me this Trident has everything going for it. Glad to see you’re happy with it. With an additional 10-20hp it would be in Ducati Monster 821(?) territory in terms of power. Was this a bike you considered at anytime or is the Duc less well mannered?

It was informative video..thks for tat..👏 I am planning to upgrade from basic commuter bike ( ie. Single cylinder 150 cc and 16 bhp ) to trident 660.. my prospective second bike would also be my last bike. could u plz clarify on braking..after hearing from u abt it's average braking.. I am not getting enough confidence to go further.. I wish to pass on this bike to my son 15 years down the line..so I have to make a right choice and be double sure abt my hard earned money..and I can't stretch beyond this budget..plz suggest..

Great video, thks for the honest opinions.. I'm from Portimão, where do you live in Algarve ?

Good review. Biggest problem on U.K. roads is rear shock. Not sure it’s just the spring a bit hard it could be preload damping as I see double vision over some ripples near me and it does sag as you sit on it so spring not too far out. When run in I might agree on power (my Diavel was twice the power) but seems really quick so far as torque and light weight winning so far

Great Ux video. Thanks. I am in a phase to purchase such a bike and Trident is one of the options. The second option is Yamaha XSR700. Would you be able to comment if you considered such an option?

Aww, Three months with your bike and I have been waiting for that for mine to arrive in the country (Australia)

Merci pour les sous titres en français,et la vidéo est parfaite !!!

Torn between Trident 660 and Cb650R as my first bike. My only concern is how much mods can I put in to it? Because there aren't perfect bike for me I guess. There's always something you need or want to change in your bike. CB650R has tons of mods in the market already while Trident 660 have few. What I would love to change in the handle bar and would love to put woodcraft clip ons on Trident 660 if it would fit and would love to change that tall side mirrors to handle bar side mirrors and also since its new in the market I don't know if it can be reflashed to unlock the restrictions on the bike. I am a fan of XSR900 looks and that's why one of my choices is is Trident 660. Thanks for this info! I'll visit the Triumph showroom and try this bike.

Man that looks like a fun bike! I’m a new rider and bought an iron 883 Harley Davidson as my first bike last October, as a Harley Davidson is the only “real” bike to have living in Tulsa Oklahoma.🤷🏻‍♂️ Or so I thought. With 50 hp and a wet weight of 560lbs I it’s not a fast bike. I recently put a stage 1 on it that really spiced it up a very noticeable amount. So I’m very glad for that. But as a newer rider with limited experience I’ve never ridden a naked bike or anything with any real power, even 80hp. I also knew absolutely nothing about Triumph when I purchased my iron. I was simply urged by everyone to “get yourself a Harley Davidson! That’s a real bike!” Don’t get me wrong I have a blast on my Harley but I wish I had tried out some different bikes before making the plunge. Of course being in Tulsa Oklahoma there isn’t a Triumph dealer until I get to Oklahoma City, about 2-3 hrs away. So between picking out a bike and the inevitable regular service of said bike, it might not be the most practical decision. But man, they make some killer looking and performing bikes from what I can gather anyway! At least I have a bike that can do all the around town duties and take a 1.5 hr trip on the highway with no issues whatsoever. So that’s nice because there are plenty of highways around here. I’m long winded, sorry

I watched all your TRIUMPH Trident 660 videos and I liked them all. Being English not my native language, I like very much your clear and articulated speaking. It makes it easy to follow your explanations and narrations. I agree with some of your "hates", and now after owning the TRIUMPH Trident 660 for a while I have to say that our most "hate" is the seat, which can get very uncomfortable after 1 - 1.5 hours of driving, at least for my wife. It gets painful and we are thinking in letting it rebuild for better suiting. What are your experiences ?

Good review, very nice , what is your mileage after three months? For city riding 80 hp is good. Thanks

"Preload" only applies to the spring of the rear shock. I can see this comes with a remote preload adjuster which is cool, but only affects the springs preload. Setting "static" and "race sag" in important to offset weight of bike and weight of rider with gear & addons on the bike. It sounds like most gripes about this bike come from a shock setup issue for being too "firm." I'm not sure if its compression and rebound adjustable but sounds like it needs a few clicks off from the compression setting.

Many comments about "not enough power". Always the syndrome of 15-20hp would be perfect. Honestly how many times do people use 80hp on public roads??! There is a study made with bikes between 60-130hp and on a long journey different roads average hp usage was 30hp and even peak power average of 65hp on a 280kg motorbike. I ride daily a 27hp scooter and don't need more power solo. Also ride a fun sv650 with 72-75hp and it is more than most could use. On a bandit 1200, I was 90% of times ubder 4000rpm. The real question is, aren't hp desire of ego more than a real necessity? A more powerfull bike is always more fun? How much is enough? If people didn't know power figures how would they choose motorbikes after riding them? Try the bike, feel it and if it adapts to your riding style and use. Don't compromise important things just to show off to your friends and enrich your ego. Sometimes, you are faster on a less powerfull bike because it is more predictable, lighter and user friendly

I love mine also. Plenty fast and pretty looking. 660 RS would be awesome with dual dial and sport ergo.

At the risk of flying in the face of popular opinion, although you rate those michelins, (so does everyone,) they are quite firm, so i wouldn't rule out a tyre change to help ride quality. However trying to find objective info on tyre ride quality is tricky, due to the obsession with 'ultimate' grip and track performance.

I had the loan of a Trident for the day while my Striple was being serviced. Firstly mine did have an adjustably brake lever. I would agree with most of what you said adding that I thought the handling was good, excellent grip from the Michelin tyres. I only rode the bike for a few hours from Alicante to my house over my favourite 'hooligan'' road...Oh! fist time I rode a bike with fly by wire, found the throttle a bit hesitant. Nice easy bike to ride...would I swop the Striple..no I wouldn't.... I just love my Street Triple.

Hello RocketMan, I'm Valiant and I also own a Trident. The dealer recently installed the Shift Assist. It seems hard or there's a tug on lower gears like 2nd or 3rd. Is there a tip you can share in regards to RPM for example before I use the shift assist for Up/down? Much appreciate any advise you can share. Thanks!

Agree it would be nice to see a Trident R, with better brakes, suspension and around 90-100hp, like what Yamaha has with the xrs700 and xrs900

I do find your review comprehensive and while I do believe this is a very good looking bike I (still) believe some things are not suitable for me: the seat is inclined forward, I find that very uncomfortable, a lot of vibration over 80 km/h, basically the mirrors are useless (test drive on a highway), the throttle has a delay (understandable...maybe being electronic) and slow in a way (I am a beginner and still I did not find it too lively). While waiting in a queue the engine was heating quite a lot (around 7 minutes queueing) which I was able too feel through my pants...also for me the size and the riding position was not on my taste (187 cm and 110 Kg).... I felt like a gorilla on my daughter`s small bicycle. I was so decided to buy one but after this test drive, let`s say it was not what I was hoping for, so I went for an mt-07 which I believe is more close to my taste, meaning I feel like I am on a motorcycle, is much more responsive while accelerating and braking. Nevertheless I believe this is a perfect beginner bike and also for ladies due to it`s size and the way it accelerates, you will never feel afraid while riding it is just tamed. Thank you for your review.

Hello RocketMan, Nice video, I'm just obtaining muy A2 license and I think I'll choose The Triumph's Tridente bit I wonder if, like you've said in the video that the Tridents need 15+ HP, what about the Street Triple S (you Gould limit for A2 and then you'll hace 95hp) what do you think?

Great looking bike but my Honda cb500x which I know you have owned in the past has been great fun for both me and my wife who owns the same Honda,when we are done with these two bikes I don’t know which bike I would buy next maybe a triumph is going to win my business maybe the tiger 850 sport which I actually assumed would be the replacement for your bmw. Take care drive safe Malcolm and DIana from Melbourne

How’s it feel to ride on the correct side of the road? 😁 I agree that the red is out of place. I like the raised letters. The large logo is the best scheme but there’s only one glossy finish with this logo... leaving you with red highlights. Manufacturers, Please lay off the matte black everything. One model is fine but like KTM if you make them all ugly won’t be interested. I like the tail... there is only so much you can do if you want to stop the weather from ruining your finish. Either a big plastic post sticking out like many others or this more subdued version allowing the seat to appear to float... if anything I’d prefer a full fender covering the tire under there in black to keep it as hidden as possible. I hope they fix the things you’ve mentioned before I buy one next season.

I think 70-80 hp is more than adequate for a nimble, naked street bike. I owned an Sv 650 for several years & rarely felt completely outgunned, despite going on many trips with friends on Cbr's, Gsxr's, R1's, etc. In fact when it came to riding faster twisty roads, a fair few of them often struggled to keep me in their sights : )

You raised an idea in my head: What about a Trident 900? Mixing all the best of the Trident 660, the Speed Twin and the Street Triple R. In concrete: Don't make the Trident 900 a race bike, just 120 PS, more than 90 NM, Brembo M4 or better Brakes, nice Forks and Shock (but not race track Öhlins) - and the modern classic look, a mix of speed twin and Trident 660. That all together would be my bike of choice. Right now I do ride a Street Triple R (MY 2020). On addition: After thinking about my proposal above, it sounded to me "like a Yamaha XSR900 - but made by Triumph" so most likely beeing just nicer in all the details, which in my opinion makes the difference between liking your bike and loving it.

My absolute pet hate is finding neutral. The preload is setup for plus 85kg rider so there is opportunities to adjust the preload for lighter riders.

I am confused between F900R and Trident. In Canada with couple of mods Trident is around $12500 out the door in compare to BMW F900R which is around $13500 out the door with their $1000 incentive and I manage to test ride the F900R and really liked the bike.

I saw one in the flesh last week. Quality bit of kit especially considering the price.👍

Few horses more and better brakes leads to Monster 821... What you think? Did you ride it? I am concerned about the large turning circle and the need for specialist (expensive) valve/timing service

Did you try the New Ducati Monster? I know this one is a little bit more expensive, but could be a nice alternative, right?

Wow, I thought the logo was painted. I reserved the same model. Does the logo looks cheap? Like it's going to peel off at some point?

Booked my trident! Quick query..is the matte color better to go for or the gloss variants? Can matt be wrapped to protect paint? Pretty confused here!

It is a matter of personal preference, I think. I agree on the brake and levels (at least make both adjustable). Don't really care about storage (bottom of my concern). I am not a fan of tail tidy on any bike due to safety concern (Trident looks perfect as it). I like red, or more visible color, in fact not enough, not a fan of total blackout bike (most bikers do), again for safety as bikes are already dangerous being invisible on street. Overall I am more concerned about safety over look.

I dont know why people disagree with the rear look of the boke nd the position of turn signals .. i loved it
