The Trident is far from the "most boring motorcycle ever." Low down torque with the "triple" smooth power in the mid and upper ranges! Nice build and looks too! In my opinion, Triumph did an excellent job attracting riders new and experienced to the brand with this roadster.
Rode both the trident and the street triple, but the street triple is so much better is hard to justify the trident beside it being a cheap version of a street triple with a tune down engine😅
@@orangesonicc the street triple might be a litle too much for a brand new rider. Not to mention that depending on the country, the couple grand price difference can be quite significant. Yes you did touch on the "cheaper" point, but it's quite the price diference, percentage wise.
Went from a grom to a trident for my first big bike and it’s amazing for beginners. Kept it in rain mode until I got used to the power. Now I have a full exhaust and it’s broken in. Bike is amazing
I just picked up a 2023 Trident! I love mine. It's my second bike and I'm coming from a CB300r. I love how smooth it is and that weird sound the i3 makes! I'm still in the break in, but so far, so good!
@@dreaminginink2029is there true tho? I just got a 2023 and just reviews online a lot people say this is not true is just a different sensation because you can use higher RPM… I wish it is true haha
The „special“ sound on the 675 comes from the straight cut gears on the balancing shaft (less power losses), either you love it or hate it. I think it sounds kinda cool like a jet turbine of some sort but regardless of the sound the performance is really something else for the cc the bike has, 80% of the torque comes on at 4000 rpm and you can wind the shit out of the bike till around 14000 rpm and the cherry on top the bike weighs around 180 kg (400 lbs) Don’t come at me I’m just simping a lil 💪🏽
Man, I think is not an issue with the bike, I think the issue is with the roads. You are testing a bike that was specifically designed to be light and agile in Europe's twists in the infinite american straight roads. The only think you can do is to accelerate and break under strong sun, it is normal that you get bored 😂 Get some mountains there! hehe great content, regards!
Every time I get on this bike, the first thing I do is turn off Traction Control. Completely different feel and harder, smoother acceleration. I've seen a test where they were getting > 4 sec 0-60mph times with TC on and around 3.4 seconds with it turned off. It's a very restrictive TC and also seems to be the reason for the "laggy" throttle in my experience. Oh, and make sure you're in Road mode. It's an absolute blast around 45-60mph roads and city streets.
I've ridden the Trident before and agree that she's definitely a beginner-friendly bike. Sorry, but the sweet whine of that triple is music to me. Same thing with the Street Triple R & RS.
Ridden one of these at work with a slip-on + decat + standard quickshifter and the bike sounds amazing when you rev it out , they come very suppressed from factory. Waiting for the day one comes in with a full system can't imagine what it would sound like for a "beginner" bike.
The rate of people starting on these, riding them for several thousand miles, and them trading them in for a Street Triple has been noticeably high. I wonder if thats why they put them relatively close in price, the street triple isnt much of a financial jump but its a significant jump in bikes@@matt59fire
It needs an exhaust and a tune. That will make it completely different bike and pull out what it needs. There is a lot of potential in the bike that you have to pull out, like that ZX 4RR. Remember, this is a Euro bike, so it has the Euro restrictions in it.
@@adobomoto ... you did, I was only restating your point and then giving context as to why there is a need for the tune. It has to do with Euro requirements. Also, I rode one with a tune, its completely different bike.
I have a 23 trident (beginner here) and have already done a TEC exhaust, Triumph Quickshifter, and DNK tune. It is so night and day (especially the tune) in how it rides, in a good way. And sounds fantastic with an exhaust! I will have some fun on this thing for a good long while. Also, wide open I pulled my buddies 07 CBR600RR down the road through the top of 5th, then the RPMs and extra hp on his CBR started pulling past me.. Its no slouch for the money and size!
Hey bro I just wanted to say your the one that got me into motorcycles and today I just bought my first helmet now I want my first bike I’ve never ridden one before but I have a guy selling me his bike next month towards the end I can’t wait and I also can’t wait for my first stall lol 🎉
The trident comes with a rain mode, which tames the low torque a lot, wonder if your friend had it on rain mode not realised. Ask him to test it on a nice twisty road, you might change your mind
yeah I forgot Americans have terribly boring roads, straight as fuck, this bike would be awesome to take on the roads in the Scottish highlands, just full leaning from one side to another on the twisties
the Triumph makes much more sense here in Europe where that kind of modern-vintage design is appreciated, we live in small villages with narrow streets and to move fron a village to nanother we have fun twisty roads, the natural habitat of thse kinda bikes
I had one as my first bike and it was wonderful, very far from boring. With respect you're riding the bike on dead straight roads, which is going to be boring on any bike.
I got a brand trident a month ago as my first bike and I’ve put 1000 miles on it and picked it up wit 61 miles. I’m really enjoying it and think it’s a perfect beginner bike plenty of power without being too much. It’s comfortable and the mid range is definitely fun around town. I may be new but after 1000 miles I got pretty comfortable maxed it out on a ride today bike does 133 so if anything thinks it’s slow it’s plenty fast lol.
Any aftermarket pipe & a tune & the must have Quick Shifter will liven this bike up but a Zard is a Taitanium exhaust & sounds magnificent.TEC do a stainless steel 3-1 for Trident 🔱 for half the cost called the Fang.But there are many Akropovic,Arrow & many more.
I choose blue pill, but I would choose red, if it would had backward compatibility and new Mario Party game. A powerful home only console with 4K from Nintendo is a must-have, but it must also have this backward compatibility.
Delusional. It’s a very fun fast bike. Sounds lovely as well

So it is a perfect beginner, commuter, which looks good. I am down with that. Will go on a dual road trip with the newest trident and versys - I am expecting a really good time.
hey i had a question so i have an fz07 and i was trying to ride it with track boots on or whatever you call em and for some reason my bike is having a ton of trouble upshifting when i wear them i will position my foot the same everytime i go to upshift and from first to 2nd its butter smooth but its not wanting to shift up in 3rd and sometimes 4th im having to like force it into the gear by pulling really hard which i do not like doing and will probably harm the bike and ive adjusted the lever position multiple times and its still happening. When i wear normal shoes i never have any issues with changing gears so i was curious if maybe that style of boots are not suited for the bike or if im just somehow doing something wrong
Hell no the trident is badass . I put a yoshimura exhaust and sounds aggressive , the trident beat the mt07 in many reviews . The trident is very good in all ways. Go check out the other reviews they all love it . The only bad thing is the stock exhaust but after you put an after market exhaust it changes everything.
Did you saw the new triumph speed 400 launch in India they partnered with bajaj and the bike is lanched around 2,899 usd and will be available in usa and canada in 2024
Bra I literally just bought the exact same Trident, yesterday same color and everything. I'm in my 50's and disabled vet, and I think that trident fit me really well, but I don't like having no wind protection . I would have preferred a Daytona, maybe, so I can reduce the strain to a more tolerable level. I have the BMW 310g gs, at my other house in Colombia and it's fun but way too tall for me. I crash it so many times after riding it only 3 months in the Andes. Here in Alaska, we have mostly long and boring, straight highways. No real twisties.
I got a 16 street triple with a delkevic exhaust and it sounds amazing. Super loud and bangs and pops all day. It's nimble and light, top end lacks but it's crazy on the take off.
I like how the triples sound with exhaust especially. Both the mt and the trident make similar power. Mt has a bit more torque and the trident puts out more hp.
Dude, exactly because of the inline three engine, the torque is pretty much the same all the way from 3.5Krpm all the way to like 9Krpm!!! I don't know how you got the impression that after 5-6Krpm torque increases, cause it doesn't!
true. I got one a month ago I was riding 250 300 miles a week going out almost everyday with my GS... sold the GS stuck with the Trident as a daily fine but as a fun ride with the bros... not so much.
I have the Z400 its a great little bike at a good price. If your wife ends up not liking either o0f those the Z400 is a good option as well. I also just ordered a new helmet since i dropped my current one twice. I got the Scorpion R420 in the white colorway, it looked amazing and its snell rated which is nice as well.
I have a modified Trident 660. Let me tell you, stock, the bike is boring. But an Exhaust, Quickshifter, Tune, Intake and its a completely new bitch. I reviewed both this and the street triple. Triples are an acquired taste let me tell you :)
Yep. I have the tiger sport 660 that has the same motor and frame. I also have a street triple but the tiger is much better for commuting and traveling.
I like the trident it looks awesome smooth throttle, it being quiet imo is nice to save my ears xD I do learn on a mt07 atm and that thing just rips sounds awesome but I agree Yamaha you cheap bastards change the forks
I did back-to-back test drives on the Mt-07, trident and the Honda Hornet. Going from the 07 to the trident was a major buzzkill.. felt sluggish and boring. Then going back to the hornet had me smiling for an hour straight. I actually canceled the Mt07 i had ordered and went for the hornet instead. Havent regretted it for a second
take this motorcycle where there are corners and make this video again ;) Believe me, you will want more ;) Triumph made a premium motorcycle in the mid-class ;)
@@Mofo9911not true. I have a 2021 and once rain mode is selected it will keep defaulting to that unless you manually change it back. Although I did read in the manual that it should go to road when turning it on.
If you want instant pull that throws you to the tail of the bike and wheelies, MT07 may be a better option but overall Trident has a far better tech package + great suspensions + killer looks.. Sorry mate, I disagree with you
Very unfair title, especially considering how much fun you clearly had. And it’s not just a beginner bike. Far from it. Video gets a thumbs down. Bike gets a thumbs up.
Where are you located? I just got a 2023 brand new for 10K (with taxes and fees). They are retailing for 8.7K for the new colors this year; which is right in like with the 600 nakeds.
@@MattSpartan145 Near Atlanta, GA. I was actually in the market for a commuter-type bike, and they wouldn't give me the out the door price for a week, then hit me with 12K.
@@langhamp8912 Wow. Dude that blows. I'm near Indianapolis, IN and they were pretty good. Couldn't get them to knock off any off the price, but they gave me 3k for my cb300r
@@asiagobagel8293 I mean, I ended up buying a pristine used 2016 Suzuki GSXS1000F with 3100 miles for $6750 after taxes and paperwork. So buying used is always going to be a lot cheaper.
My wife rode a Vespa 300 for awhile and then we got her a bike last year. She started on a Vitpilen last June and then got a Panigale V2 last month. She loves riding
R7 gearing is different and the seating position is more attack. And no riding an fz/Mt is not like the bolt. Lol bolt is v twin and the seating position is completely different. Bolt felt much slower and didn't have that torque punch like the fz/Mt does.
