Good to hear your views, they sound really positive. I`ve got to book my Speed Twin in for a possible battery change, as it`s not been used all winter, and is now 3 years old, so when i do, i`l be taking one of these for a test ride. I tried it in the showroom when Destination Triumph did a launch evening for the all new Tiger 1200, and the 660 Sport arrived unexpectedly, so they put it together and had it on show, i could have tested it the following day, but had already made plans, so it will have to wait. I`m also looking forward to your long term test review too.

I absolutely love that bike! I don’t need one, but it looks very recommendable. As a Tiger 1050 owner it does indeed remind me of my bike. It funny whenever reviewers talk about its relative lack of power. When I first got in to motorcycles, back in the Seventies, the most powerful stock bike was a Kawasaki Z-1. The Tiger 660 has only two less horsepower and is only .4 of a second slower in the quarter mile.

Mine has low seat, belly pan, panniers with infills, Triumph Connect module, heated grips, handguards, quickshifter, fog lights ... thats about it I think. I think this would be a great bike for Canary Motorcycle Tours to have in their fleet as would be great for the variety of roads out there :)

Thanks for a great "real world" review and your dedication to your trade. Good to see a review in the weather which we'll all have to ride in at times. Looks a great bike. I saw one in my local Triumph dealership recently and they look pretty good in the flesh. My only minor issue with the bike is that Triumph don't seem to offer a centre stand, even as an option in the extensive (and expensive) list of optional extras.

@ClipperUK2008
@ClipperUK2008 2 года назад
@@TheMissendenFlyer I think the issue is it sharing so much from the Trident (for cost reasons) the cat and exhaust sit exactly where the centre stand would go. Not sure why cruise control isn't an option. However note that out of the competition - Tracer 7 , Versys 650 and Vstrom 650 - none of them have cruise control option and only one has a centre strand option (the vstrom) the other two also have underslung cat/exhaust. Seems to be a feature of the budget end of adventuring EDIT - There are 3rd party centre stand offerings for the Tracer 7 and Versys from sw-motech and hepco&becker so maybe they will rustle something up?
@Rodders1
@Rodders1 Год назад
I agree the optional extras are expensive and unlike cars the dealers have to fit them and charge you for the privilege. I asked how much per hour and was amazed to be told £120. I negotiated a good price for both the extras and the fitting fee. let's face it nothing but nothing is set in stone, and everything can be negotiated on otherwise I know where the door is and I'm certainly not too embarrassed to haggle.

Well done for choosing a real world situation to test the Tiger, though I’m missing your tour videos! Tiger looks and sounds nice with a very healthy power figure for the size. It could have ended up as a parts bin special but the design does look well thought out and as you say definitely echoes the old 1050 sport. I think the display is part negative LCD and part TFT, presumably for cost saving, but looked fine and again as you said, better than some recent Triumph TFT efforts! The only design feature I’m not quite sure about is the screen - to me the way it goes right down between the headlights looks a little odd, but it doesn’t make the bike unattractive. Finally, kudos to Triumph for supporting full luggage with integrated mounts - it reinforces its do-it-all image.

Definitely a rival to the wee strom, priced right in the middle of their range. I think Triumph are onto a winner with this, plus that engine is a sweetheart and has a bit more character to it than the dependable, but soul less linearity of the suzi. I think owning one of these for commuting on and for the odd weekend away would be a really easy decision to make.

My profuse apologies I saw an over size banner, approx almost half the screen “courtesy” message (I almost wanted to spit) and I’m pretty sure that my memory is correct about this, it referred to the site in such a manner that instead of realising that it was a random RU-vid thing I mistakenly thought you had created it. Thanks very much for messaging me back, I realise now that as it hasn’t come up again and you obviously weren’t aware of it, that it was actually a heavy handed random product of the RU-vid pc thought police. I guess you can tell I haven’t watched Dr Who or the beeb in a while. Ps I forgot what I was going to say when I was originally going to comment, probably some old guy criticism about the mudguards, good on you for persevering on new tyres, brakes and bike in the wet.

Nice review as always thanks. Very tempted. I'm with you on the single dipped headlight - the people who design these bikes must never have driven on a dark country road with a LED-lit SUV coming the other way. I'd also be looking for a fender extender for the front - won't look new for long otherwise.
@leighmcqueeney9848
@leighmcqueeney9848 2 года назад
I disagree. Having only one headlight on looks odd to motorists so it is likely to attract more attention, which is good. As for the LED lit SUV or in bumper driving lights for pseudo rally drivers, do you honestly think an extra light will make any difference? Unless it is a blue flashing one, of course.

Get mine next week Andy. Ordered it just after Christmas before any arrived in the country as I had a feeling it would be popular. Had a test ride a few weeks ago and wasn't disappointed. I opted for heated grips, connectivity, quick shifter and panniers. Dealer did a great deal and think it's great value for the dosh. Was going for a grey one but the dealer thought it was a matt finish. Turns out It's not, it's gloss. Didn't fancy matt so went for the same as this. The red is very striking with extra decals and has grey too so was a compromise but £100 more. The blue and grey bikes just have black lower bits. Thanks for posting.

@ianwarren 2 года назад
Test rode the Tiger Sport 660 yesterday from the excellent Webbs of Lincoln and the Screen IS adjustable big plastic handgrip at bottom of screen pulls up or pushes down and you had it fully down position in your review, more about the screen in a minute. Agree with most of the review it’s a fantastic low speed handling bike, if I had ridden this for my mod 1 it would have been way easier weaving through cones doing U-turns etc. It’s amazingly manoeuvrable and feels astonishing light at low speed through town etc. the gearbox is a thing of joy snicking into gears with a beautiful precision and a light progressive clutch. It’s a soft ride which is fine for what this bikes aimed at but dives a lot with the front brake. Brakes are good but like the suspension I have test ridden better on 650s. Like you I did get the rear ABS to kick in despot riding on a dry sunny (but cold) day. I too though the rear brake was powerful which I think is why it kicked in. It was however subtle and didn’t upset the bike in any way. It’s a thoroughly good bike and it looks good too. There is a low seat option for Missenden ‘Short Arses’ which the bike I rode had on which is 820mm and felt quite hard but was comfy over a three hour ride. On the plus side the screen was easy to move up and down even on the move but on the minus side I was disappointed by the wind protection. Having ridden a CBR650R last week I thought the tiny race Style screen on the Honda, with a more forward body position granted, kept the wind off my body just as well and more importantly the air hitting me was a lot less turbulent and noisy. In fact the Hondas airflow was entirely smooth and as a result a lot quieter around the HJC helmet I currently have. I think I would find this fatiguing on a long ride. Atrociously raising the screen makes things much worse, the wind moves from hitting my shoulders and helmet (6ft tall) to hitting the helmet only but becomes even more turbulent. I can feel the screen shedding alternate vortices to left and right so it’s trying to wobble your head all the time and is even noisier around the Helmet! So an adjustable screen that has to spend its whole time down and doesn’t really do a great job of weather protection. I would look for something aftermarket (when available) to improve this which is disappointing as I would be buying a screen twice. A minor point it the plastic handle to move the screen looks pretty cheapo and I lol let’s the side down for a part that’s in your view the whole time your riding. While we’re on criticisms and this is a small one, I am not a fan of the soft touch indicators. Particularly in winter gloves I never knew if In hit it right and got the indicators on or off and always had to confirm on the dash which is a distraction you don’t need. What’s wrong with switchgear that clicks as it operates so you feel it work and don’t need to confirm by looking. I am sure i would get used to this fairly quickly and would be better in my leather summer gloves rather than bulkier winter waterproof ones so only a minor irritant there. Overall I enjoyed the bike a lot but I found it all a bit soft and slightly underwhelming. I know it’s a different type of bike (the reason i test rode them both to make up my mind) but the Triumph not only lacked the power of the Honda but failed to engage or excite me the way the Honda did. While it’s easy to ride especially at low speed and it’s good at high speeds i didn’t feel instantly at home and that I could feel exactly what was going on under me like I did on the Honda. Finally while the triple has a lovely rasp to the engine note low down I couldn’t hear it at all at motorway speeds due to wind noise and buffet and far from smooth there is a distinct vibration to the triple engine like but less thumping than a twin but nothing at all like the silky smooth CBR inline 4. The Triunphs ‘character’ might get wearing on a long ride. Low down the revs the Honda CBR650R was really muted but as it got into the higher revs where the big power lives the engine note gets better and better and the Honda is a way smoother unit at all speeds. All in all I like the triumph a lot and for those that want an easy to live with very easy to ride commuter it’s a great bike but for me the more intense and visceral Honda CBR650R will be getting my money. As an older first big bike on my European tour with my son this summer I may sometimes regret the odd aches and pains from the Hondas mildly sporty seating position but the smile it puts on my face will more than make up for it. My son (ex BSB racer) can also give me some instruction on track too where I am certain the Honda will be much more at ease than thenTiger Sport.

Greatings from Hemel!! Looking to buy my first bike and I am torn between the Trident and the Tiger. 6ft 2, 17 stone - so i guess the Tiger would likely be better as I dont want to look oversized on the Trident, but it just looks so damn good.

I have a Speed Twin, which I love, but want a second bike for one-up touring so I’ve been looking at this Tiger Sport. I have watched all the reviews but yours has pretty much sold me. Your take on motorcycles is very similar to mine and I’ve found over the years that I agree with your assessments.

I've become a big fan of this & the Trident. The display with the phone connectivity & controls is very appealing as someone who likes practicality. My only wish is to have the Rear end of the Tiger with the Paniers & then the rest of the bike be the Trident to make the perfect Touring Naked bike minus a windsheld.

I sat on the demonstrator at my local Triumph dealer (Hampshire), last Saturday of February, I think it was. He had one left on his books, in meh, sorry grey, until the next stock allocation in June. So that’s allocation, not even delivery. So yeah, a very apt review TMF - order one now in time for next winter! 😎 FWIW, I didn’t manage a test ride, but it did feel comfy, however, I can’t get past the cashpoint machine graphics around the dash warning lights 😆

Andy, I left the real world for the life in the French Alps, 300 days of sunshine, local ski fields, endless twisty mountain roads ( no potholes) sometimes, riding on the right makes it easy to give a wave to other bikers. I do miss the rain but that won't get me back.

Andy, that weather. OMG. We have just clouds here, thank goodness. A nearby dealer has a blue Triumph 660 Sport I have been looking at on my motorcycle replacement or addition shortlist. It is a shame Triumph has chosen the one light illumination on low beam. That annoys me too. On the upside, the price is competitive with the other motorcycles I am considering (7-9K USD). Nice fairing and shield. I really want a centerstand though. Based on the photographs I have seen thusfar there doesn't appear to be room for it with the exhaust tucked up under the frame like it is. Keep your head up, friend. Spring is nearly here. Cheers!

Hi from another 1050 Sport owner, they were a lovely bike but quite top heavy as you mentioned, couldn't believe the difference between that and the GS 1250 when I test rode it, so much easier to maneuver even with the extra weight :) You can actually see the styling cues from the 1050, it's a handsome bike which I'm sure will sell well ...

Hi Andy, great real life review as always. Firstly I think this bike looks excellent compared with most others nowadays. It also does seem like a great tourer / commuter and all rounder which can't be a bad thing. Seems to have plenty enough grunt for a 180kg bike with 80bhp, I would just hope not to become bored and want more power before long... How did it handle on the twisties in your opinion? And ignore the trolls in the comments who are just jealous they have nothing better to do than watch RU-vid videos without making any of their own!
@TheMissendenFlyer

Love the look of this bike, I really hope Triumph bring out a larger litre version, that would perhaps persuade me off my trusty Tiger 1050. I have no doubt this bike will sell well, and certainly has its place, but a little small for me, and not too keen on the looks of the 1200. Thanks Andy 👍

My wife and I did a 100-ish mile test ride on varied roads in Lincolnshire UK in October 23 and ordered one the next day. It arrived in March 24. Black with a few silver highlights, integrated panniers, rear rack, heated grips. It is a very easy bike to ride slowly, and I mean that in a good way: 10 mph to 30 mph in busy traffic, it just sits there and you don't have to hold it back or slip the clutch. Just a little bit snatchy in very slow traffic in 1st gear. For daily riding, 1st gear is very low, and the 6 gears are a bit close together. It will sit at 30 mph in 6th, which is the gear that takes you all the way up to the er.. legal limit. I have sometimes slowed down to 30 without changing gear, then lights have changed and I've had to do a quick 6,5,4,3,2,1, then accelerating away when the lights change, I need to fuss through the gears or rev it a bit more then do a double change up once I've hit my required speed. It's unintimidating to ride with or without pillion, but if you drop to 5th or even 4th you've got some exciting acceleration around 7,000 rpm. Otherwise, the bike is happy at anywhere from about 3,000 to 6,000 rpm. It's light and well balanced and steers easily. The screen is easily adjustable but I keep mine low or only 1 notch up, as any higher gives me too much wind noise. The rear shock is remote adjustable just by turning an easily accessible knob, so it's very easy to firm up if you take a pillion or heavy luggage. On the test ride, I found the digital display fussy, but once I had my own bike, I found the various options and now have a favourite display which is easy to read and uncluttered. Lights are very good for proper night riding on unlit country lanes. Nice touch is hazard lights and a parking light option. The heated grips are not as hot as Oxford grips, and the control button is small and is hard to operate with thick gloves, which is exactly when you are likely to need it! My only slight "disappointment" is the lack of engine noise. All my previous bikes have been singles or twins, my last two being Moto Guzzi V-twins. Compared to the friendly chug and grumble, and occasional "bad boy" bark of acceleration, of a twin, the Triumph triple has quite a bland engine note. However, the engine does its job with enthusiasm, and that's the main thing.

Nice review. I test rode one a few weeks back and agree, nothing not to like… However much as I liked the ride I didn’t love the look of the bike. It’s definitely nicer than the competitors you mentioned but don’t think it would tempt me into the shed to polish it on a wet February afternoon. I think it’s the colours that don’t inspire me, Honda have don’t better with the new CB 500x. Great bike though just not for me… decided on a goldline street scrambler instead. Ride safe.

@@soaruk3697 any actual facts? Strange that I have been riding them for over 20 years in Australia and the US with not one problem ever. Likewise a lot of my friends have done the same. What is extraordinary about your opinion is that whilst Harley, in particular, and lots of other manufacturers have seen the sales of their road bikes drop over the past decade Triumph continues to grow it's market. If you are correct, how is this happening? For example, I loved my Griso 1200 but it kept breaking down. I spent more fixing that bike than the total in repairs for every other bike I owned in over 40 years. I loved it, but would I buy another one. No way.

Bought mine last week to replace the tiger 900 gt pro…it’s way quicker on normal road conditions due to the 17” front wheel and smooth buzzy engine..quick shifter is an absolute must on this bike and transforms up shifting way better than the gt pro….have to say I also bought the lower seat not that I’m short at 5,11” just like the flatter feet and lower centre of gravity feel…also improves screen performance. Great all rounder and 60 mpg….gearing is a little short…easy pull always in second. Seemingly an easy bike to live with looking forward to a few more miles. 👍 good video cheers tmf.

after trying out one of these at motorcycle live and after test riding the Yamaha tracer 7 gt I've gone for the tiger which I accidently found a 22 reg demo of when I went to ask a few questions of the dealer. Was originally looking for a new one but also fancied the 2023 version of the Tracer but unfortunately the dealer couldn't say when the new Tracers would be hitting the showrooms. Looking at your reviews on both I reckon you're a bit torn between the two as well. what really swung it for me was the absolutely brilliant deal I feel I've got with the Triumph after adding on the extras I wanted. It's in the red and already had the luggage rack, panniers, and hand guards fitted, so I've added on colour coded infills, heated grips, LED fog lights. frame protector kit, moulded belly pan, engine cover protector, usb charger and paddock stand bobbins. can't wait to pick it up. the reviews you do are very Indepth with the specs etc. brilliant.

Nice to see you like it. I got mine delivered last week, although it took a few days to get insurance sorted as Triumph apparently didn't submit details to the ABI in time so it's not on most insurers lists yet. Still, as my first big bike I'm absolutely loving it. I'm over 6ft and have struggled to find something tall enough that didn't also mean big and heavy. This fits the bill perfectly for me. Can flat foot it yet still comfortable to sit on with my long-ish legs. More than enough power if I really wind it on but also nice and gentle when I want it. Slow speed riding is great too. Just wish I had ordered it with heated grips - schoolboy error there. Might have to see about getting them fitted at the first service.

That means I have the protection close to the body. And it stays there if I fall off! And that makes it feel lighter! Cheers!
