Collecting My Triumph Trident 660: Your Questions Answered! 

Congratulations on the new bike . Nothing beats that “New Bike” feeling 👍

very nice cinematography my friend - keep pumping these out and you are golden!

"Are you going to mod it?" "No... Unless" So yes, haha

Love the stock underbelly exhaust. I hate huge mufflers slapped on the side of bikes

Awesome as always Bob! Thank you, can’t wait for the videos after it’s run in... MG. 👍😎🇦🇺

Very good video. Needed this kind of "practical/all-day" information for the bike. Thx!

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.

Beautiful bike and I'm so glad the reviews are mostly positive. Ordered my Trident at launch in silver ice / red... would have gone with the matte black but I was concerned over scuffs on the matte finish. Unfortunately it still being winter and being in Canada, I have to wait a few more weeks before delivery.

RU-vidr TEC Bike parts has been making changeable parts for this bike. IE. Lowered foot pegs for tall riders, Adjustable clutch lever and so on.

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.

Another cracking video! The shift Assist is amazing!! So much fun! even at lower Revs. I've gone for the Matt Black Bell Eliminator!

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.

She is a Lovely bit of kit. Blows away the competition in looks alone. Nice price point. Quick shifter! Bloody hell, yes!

Great video lovely bike I think triumph have raised the bar with all their bikes the fit and finish on them is fantastic stay safe looking forward to more videos 🇬🇧👍

I want to see the quickshifter video on it....

I would like to see a comparison video between the trident 660 , sv650 , MT07 , Z650 & CB650R

I gotta say... That's a really good looking bike.

I am guessing this bike is all about the corner ! Have a blast with it .. Less hp and using more of tha engine pulling the bike out of the corners just sounds like a blast to me .. I think this bike will be popular with a lot of seasoned riders who don't need 120 hp to have some fun .. Triumph knows how to define the word Roadster ... Over and over again, they bringing smiles to the open country road ..

Looks good, sounds good. Hopefully test ride soon.

Tec Bike Parts do some decent black levers and footrests for the Trident. 👌

It looks very nice, as my Nan might have said , "I wish you well to ride it" and ride safe :-D

you did a great video where you compared Triumph Street Twin to speed twin, we loved it. we hope you do a comparison of Street Twin to the trident. thanks

Thank you...you answered all the questions

Mt07 / xsr700 vs trident. They came out with a cool app here in the states to rent motorcycles from different owners in the surrounding area. Most bikes range from 40-70 bucks a day which is not bad at all.

Congratulation ! Look forward to your future videos on your Trident. Question, what tires are you running on your Street Twin nowadays. I have a 2017 Street Cup and looking for new tires. Stay healthy and ride safe

G'Day Bob.Nice one, i hope you'll enjoy the new machine, Every bike has its own idiosyncrasies, i'll call it character. Looking forward to the mod videos.

Sounds like a fantastic bike. Enjoy!

A comparison with the sv,if and when possible,would be great 😬

Just put my name down on the waiting list can't wait perfect bike

Love from India 🇮🇳 thanks for the great review 👍

Congrats!!

I think you got the best colour combo 👍

Just ordered mine, same colour but an 8 week wait! We live in South West France so the roads are made for this bike. My bike now is a BMW 650 GS so this will be so different. I'm so excited. When you find a tail tidy for the bike will you let me know! Thanks very much and for the great review.

Running in: I kept it @ 4000 till 480kms, from then on 5000, but the saddle's off to my seat specialist for uprating - more support & 2 cm higher. First service round same time as you..... Being 1m70 & 73 kg I've put the preload up to click nr 3. C u around keep on safe (T)riding.....

Nice, simple and easy to follow commentary. I'd like on a rare occasion to go 300-400 miles, so is this seat pretty comfy, fairly steady on hwy, and get good mpg? Thanks, Rick

Beautiful bike!

Really great brief review, however myth about firm suspension equals better handling continues... Only on track not on roads.

When you get some seat time I'd love to know how it does on gas. The reports on the mpg are all over the place. Thank you for the video.

Awesome bike bro😍 enjoy it.

Loved your video nice one dude 👍🏻

Great commuter/daily 👌🏿👌🏿

Looks great. I’m getting mine next week. Are those the Machined Bar End Mirrors? I thought they were round and smaller. I’ve ordered mine with the Style Pack so hoping I get the smaller round ones. Congrats on the new bike👍

I can't wait to test the Trident, it looks like a great bike. I'm sorry to say I love a bit of colour coordination with bike and gear. Hehe!

G'Day Bob, hope you enjoy the new Trident. Very interested to hear what you have to say about it against the Street Twin when you get a chance.

Black is the best color imo with the white flag.

Can’t wait to see this compared to the mt07 !!

Like it! Nice bike, might be my first after dirt...

A windscreen would definitely help. And not the little Triumph accessories flyscreen. Dart Classic flyscreen makes well sized windscreens so hopefully they'll come out with one for the Trident.

Nice one mate, she looks awesome!

The must-have package is the Evotech Performance tail tidy. I have it my bike. It looks amazing.

Excellent video! What backpack, in the video, are you using? Please share a link. Keep up the fantastic reviews!!

Hopefully mine is getting delivered to me in the next few days. Had to wait for some of the accessories to come in! I'm definitely thinking of adding a fender extender to the front, a shock sock for the rear suspension and a radiator guard when they come out.

I'd like to see the black paint scheme with the glossy red bits added. I think it would look good.

would be a nice local runabout ! great video

Hi there, very nice video and congrats for your new bike👍🏻 Can you tell me what headset you are using please? Thanks a lot! Matteo

There is a lowering kit now lowers it 20mm at rear & front is adjusted down 15mm for shorter riders.Tiger comes with a 20mm lower comfort seat but stock seat is higher at 830mm.

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

I totally agree, rear set foot pegs will be tiresome for long distance riding .

Great looking bike brother! It reminds me of my last bike, which was the XSR 700. I'd like to see a comparison of the 2 if you get a chance. Enjoy

Thanks for the review. I'd love to see a comparison with the CB650R !! I will but a motorbike in the coming months and I'm really in balance between both at the moment.... your opinion would be a great help !

Best of luck wit the new bike! Looks great! I’m interested that you haven’t been tempted to go for anything more powerful?

Great video.Thanks

The cat/exhaust look like they're already rusting. I prefer the Trident looks and triple engine but the MT07 seems more practical.

Speed twin and this. I booked for life

So I'm India and will be handling new triumph dealership.. Really excited 😁

If it were mine, I would pop off the radiator side covers and spray them a dark charcoal grey in a satin finish. Otherwise it’s a great looking bike. Congratulations.

Hey when you compare your street twin with the trident, can you show us how the headlights perform in the dark? Curious to see how the trident LED setup fairs to the after market unit on your street twin.

The tail end is just lacking something. Needs more bodywork on the sides toward the rear.

Love it 💙

🔥 Love it.

Great bike, great video. I’m thinking about getting one as a second bike to commute on & do weekend trips up to 200miles. Could you confirm the tank range over real world riding & not just spanking it everywhere? Cheers.

Definitely talk about the blue tooth. The groups here in the States have an overwhelming negative opinion on it. Thanks!

It’s so true about the Ground clearance!! I live in the Darjeeling Himalayas . One of the most remote parts of India. I used go have and Enfield and a Yamaha R3 and they did Ok. My ex Triumph street Triple and my present bike Ninja 1000 SX… it’s horrendous.. i always seem to scrape the big bumps and the pot holes :).

Great Job covering all the basics! Although I do have a question for you as well since i'm considering getting this bike. What I wanted to ask you is how does this bike fare when it comes to its sizing. As in does it give kinda like the semi-big bike feel/look like the CB 650 or is it more compact than the CB? Thanks!! P.S. I prefer more compact/nimble bikes in general and can't get to see one in person as of yet to check it out:/

Appreciate the review - that would of been the colour I would of gone for with the big logo incl the bar end mirrors - at the start or the year it's was a toss up between the triumph trident and Moto Guzzi V7 Centenario which i'm still deciding on - as i'm a bit of a show off the Moto Guzzi edges it for me - nevertheless i'm looking to test ride the trident v.soon which may sway my decision further who knows.

Great video. 👍👍

Tec bike parts seem to be thinking up some nice options, the number plate and light options at rear, and perhaps storage options ...and even a pillion delete: cowling

Damn it bob,ur beard game is strong

It looks like the front exhaust downpipe has been blasted with road grit due to the short front guard, that doesn't look good for the life of the radiator!

Think it looks great. Get the radiators shroud painted matt black. Rest of your add ons look good! Sucks about the exhaust though. My mk1 bandit had a one piece pipe as did my ER5. A hacksaw fixed both those problems!

Yes trident nice display, traction control, triple exhaust and good look But i bought mt07 because of reliability and cp2 For me traction control are not necessary for this range of bike and triple exhaust better than two exhaust but cannot compare to cp2 Lastly, i cannot imaging if i want to install side box and top box for trident Sorry for bad english 😅

What a beauty !!!!! Edit : I like striple r tho

ordered the same Color :-) Greetings from Germany P.S. Nice Vids

Very nice 👍

Cool Video !!!

It looks great MB, cant wait to see more and hear what your longer term views on it are. Hope to see ya out and about sometime soon. (Lockdown permitting of course)

Would like to see how trident stack up with CB650R

That design with 1050cc engine ow yes that would be amazing

Great video as always Bob! Quick question - What black motorcycle jeans do you wear or recommend?

Rob, what’s your thoughts on the rear mudguard/hugger? Looks like bad weather will cause lots of spray on the rear light/tail area? Lovely looking and congrats on the new bike. Hope it does well for you..p.s. George at Tecbike parts is fitting some adjustable levers on their Trident

Would appreciate a comparison with the Speed Twin if possible.

Doesn't sound like much but i really like it.

It would be good to see a comparison against a 675 street triple rather than a 765

Nice video Bob. Wanted to check if you can compare Trident with Beneli 600i

Love from india.....❤️❤️preeboked the same colour .... waiting for price announcement in india

Motobob rules 👌

I love everything about the bike so far except the exhaust note. Feels anemic, but maybe it'll grow on me. So far, how does it feel around town-and perhaps for short jaunts outside-compared to the Honda CB650R naked?

I’d like to see this against the cb650r. Those are the two bikes I’m looking into right now

some day in the near future i will change my rebel 500...and surely will be a triumph.but not this one..........the triple street RS765. that is a beast.and a final end with bike.

Good day sir. Can you make a comparison with the xsr700 ride safe always!
