As a 35+ year rider, I added a TS660 to my garage last year, after a 30-minute test ride. The owner of my local dealership knows I've done thousands of miles on racetracks, and when I returned to the store so quickly, he said, "Didn't like it, huh?" Still grinning, I said, "Nope--I'm putting one of these in my garage!" I've owned many, many high-horsepower super-sport bikes, including the Tuono Factory still in my garage. This bike is way more fun than it has a right to be at its price-point. I nicknamed it "Cheap Thrills" because of the low $$. Definitely get the quick-shifter for this bike, and just wail through the gearbox while grinning and laughing in your helmet!

@papatorr3669 Год назад

As a 47+ years rider of budget bikes, I added the Hornet 919 to my garage last year, after a 10 minute test ride for $2,500. My response falls under the sour grapes category, as I would thoroughly enjoy a TS660 and agree with your assessment. Although not on the same level, the way I would ride the TS660, reminds me of my '84 Honda CB650SC: just behind on HP and ft/lb, weight, 6 spds, etc. Hop on it and go for a short ride just for the fun of it. Not too sporty or laid back, neither lightweight or heavy, fast or slow, and so on. These fall into a category I call Goldilocks bikes.

@christophervincent77 Год назад

I haven't ridden the Sport 660 yet but it is more comfortable to sit on than the Trident, and the wind protection would likely make it way more livable for higher speeds. It's objectively better in most ways. I'm still getting a Trident though - in orange. It's just so pretty.

Bought this bike last fall and have ~2k miles on it. Cruise control was definitely a miss. The throttle is really only noticeable at idle but clicking throught the gears it doesnt feel lazy to me. The windscreen does need a redesign tho. The high position definitely buffets the helmet (im about yams size). Also has trouble turning over the first time during cold starts. On the 2nd attempt it starts right up. Overall tho the bike is super enjoyable to ride and ill be keeping it for a while

It would be interesting to compare it with the 2023 Trident to see if Triumph has given it the same refinement and character that this one has. Personally I like the Trident better, it’s more aesthetically pleasing with its retro vibe, but listening to papa Yam talk about how neutered the Trident was back when he rode it the first time makes me wonder if Triumph decided that the Trident should be a step “below” the Tiger 660 in terms of performance. I could be getting into a Trident 660 soon but this one makes me think twice about it. Great video!

It's not that it's worse than the tiger it's that the engine fits better in this sport touring package according to yammie at least

@pocketlint82 Год назад

I have a 23 trident. I think the only reason he says that is cause he's comparing the trident to an mt07 (which has a really peppy throttle. And basically worse eveything else imo) and comparing the tiger to a versys which is alot lazier feeling. But really they handle about the same. Also the throttle lag is only really noticeable in neutral and with the clutch in. In gear it feels good, and with a quick shifter it feels even better. People say the dnk tune fixes all that anyway, which I will be doing right after the warranty is up

@guillermoyelamo5816 Год назад

@@pocketlint82 I owned a 2019 MT07. Sold it a couple of months ago, not a very good decision but adulting situations got in the way, now I want to get back to riding and want something in the same vibe as the MT but a bit more upscale and better looking. MT07 is the benchmark here IMO but I’m going to leave it outside the conversation for obvious reasons. Before buying my MT07 I tested a Trident 660 when it just came out in 2021, very refined and handsome bike, but the Yamaha was cheaper so I pulled the trigger, that was the only reason. Both bikes are amazing but each one offers a little bit different experiences on their own. I like more the classic looks though. I’ll be hitting my closest Triumph dealership tomorrow to see what’s the deal with this Tiger Sport 660 and then make a decision. Thanks for your comment!

I test road the Trident and it felt a little underwhelming for me. but I did try the Street Triple RS first. so it was hard to live up to that. and then I tried the 900 Tiger with the triple engine, and I was underwhelmed by that also. I expected more from it. it didn't seem to have any of the insane power of the Yamaha XSR 900 triple. now I wish I would've tried the tiger 660 instead of the Trident. please answer my tire question.

19:28 In my opinion that monotony is what makes MC trips so special. It makes you realize just how vast the country truly is because you're so exposed and fatigued by it. When you do it in s car it's kinda like flying, where you feel a bit like you teleported to the destination, and you don't get that sense of vastness. Definitely more comfortable, but it's not the deep, borderline-spiritual experience of riding a motorcycle.

@Danol123 6 дней назад

Having tried the Tiger 660 Sport myself i have to say i’m baffled at you saying you want to fix the throttle. I think it should remain the way it is. Throttle on an Indian in sport mode for reference is too snappy and outright dangerous. Even the new CBR1000RR-R Fireblade has better throttle control. Point is it’s a relaxed, yet sporty bike. And a relaxed throttle control is precisely why this is good as an entry level bike that you never need to upgrade away from. Right now i ride a VL1500 Intruder, and that’s 1 of 40 bikes i’ve ridden so far. And the Tiger 660 Sport is by far the best engine i’ve ever felt on a bike. The engine is perfect, originally i tried the Daytona, but realizing it was the same engine was enough to convince me. I love the 660 Sport, but one thing i will agree upon is the fact that it needs cruise control.

@tomryner5830 5 месяцев назад

Hi guys At 52 I finally got my license but bought a Yamaha in 2021. Been sat in a wheelchair some years because of MS. The first bike I bought was the 2022 Tracer 9GT. An ok but boring bike. At school I drove the MT07 and I’m sorry, the engine is so sluggish. Directly after securing my licence (yes the same day) I traded in my Tracer for a 2023 Triumph Speed Twin 1200. Lovely looking bike, oodles of grunt and that sound… just lovely. AND my wife loves it is comfy for the pillion rider as well. However… The Speed Twin isn’t a bike for long stretches so we need a second bike. My dealer has just taken delivery of the first 2024 Triumph Tiger 900 with more tech and higher hp and torque over the 2023 model. I Had wishes that the 660 would work for the two of us with bags and all but sadly the engine is insufficient for the weight. Otherwise a Really nice bike for a single rider. What else is on my maybe-list? The Moto Guzzi V100 of course. It is Awesome! It hasn’t got the liveliness of the Tracer 9 or the Tiger 900, but Boy does it have character and a lovely sounding V engine. And the pillion is much lower. That made my wife happy and she is rooting for my to go Anglo and Italian. Thanks for the upload!

@Mikaeel84 Год назад

I almost got this as my first bike and ended up getting a Kawasaki Z400 instead. I'm definitely glad I got something with less power and weight. Many people told me driving a "slow" bike fast is more fun than driving a faster bike slow and that is definitely the case. In town I can rip through all 6 gears. With this bike you will want to open it up but if you do being a new rider you're going to get in trouble doing so. You're also going to drop your first bike and dropping this would be an absolute shame. Not having to focus on throttle control so much and being able to focus on the many other things you have to learn to do as a new rider is definitely a plus. Don't get me wrong I love going fast and I'm an adrenaline junky but if you get a bike that's slower in a straight line you will get your kicks out of learning how to lean and take corners faster, learning how to brake and maneuver efficiently especially in small spaces and traffic. And if you want another reason, the other day I was going home with my wife and the decided last minute to take her where I like riding near my house, found a guy crashed into a guard rail on the side of the road all alone dieing. Legs, arm, shoulder, ribs broke. He was gasping for air and had that look of death on his face. His wife showed up and started crying frantically while his friend begged him to hold on and had to give him CPR once because he stopped breathing.He was riding a Yamaha R6, got going too fast to make the turn and ran off the road into the guard rail and hit a tree. Easy to do when a bike accelerates so fast people forget how long it takes to slow down and bikes don't brake well in turns. He died at the hospital from internal bleeding. Get a bike that's slower than you want in a straight away and you'll get your kicks from actually learning how to ride a bike. Get a bike that's faster than your skills you might end up like ol boy. It's your choice.

Dealer tried to sell me this instead of Trident, because they were out of stock, I went on neighbor country dealer to get my Trident next day I got my license.

@Hecatomb87 Год назад

Right at the start of the video you mention that you prefer Yamaha's MT-07 over the Trident 660. Keeping this in mind, how do you feel the Tiger Sport 660 compares to it's Yamaha counterpart, the Tracer 7? Since both bikes respectively use the same engine as their naked counterparts I'm surprised to only hear you compare this bike to maybe a Versys 650 or a V-strom 800, which feels like you're deliberately avoiding the comparison. Could be me.

Could be me as well. Reliability and warranty compared to Japanese bikes 🏍 🙄 💥. 😆 🤣.. luls

@chrisl3062 Год назад

We don't have the Tracer 7 in the states yet. Hopefully soon though, would love to see it

@D1XA Год назад

Don't you guys get the yamaha tracer 7 in the USA? I wander why you never mentioned it...

Any vibrations ?

@scottsharp3917 Год назад

one problem i had with it is that my hands were numb after riding it for ~30 minutes due to vibration through the bars

@svenneirynck7039 Год назад

I installed Grip Puppies over the original grips which solved this. Just search for some videos how to install these the easy way in case you’d decide to get these.

@stevenson720 Год назад

Whats anyones thoughts on the tiger 900 compared to the 660. Im thinking of a bike upgrade from my honda 750

@Albert-my3yt 8 месяцев назад

I just sat on one of these, it feels like i can put some real time in the seat as far as being comfortable. Im wondering how it would be on the interstate for a long period of time, like mabe 2 or 3 hour intervals. Anybody that knows, please get back to me.

@calebh2642 Месяц назад

I hope the Tiger sport gets the updated engine from the Daytona 660

@AllboroLCD Год назад

Im so thoroughly satisfied with my Trident it not even funny! The trident sadly doesnt hold up as well when it comes to long distance riding, so the tiger is starting to look more and more attractive honestly. I am super curious as to how it handles a mild to medium terrain trail though.

@aToxicPotato338 Год назад

I have done 0 off road riding in my life but the few times I have been on gravel on my ts660 didn't inspire much confidence. At least on the MR5's it comes with.

@AllboroLCD Год назад

@@aToxicPotato338 Preciate the input there. So what your saying is, there might be some margin for improvement with 50/50 tires, but the 660 Tiger is simply biased more for the road. Its really the 800 you want for the off road stuff.

@aToxicPotato338 Год назад

@@AllboroLCD yeah that's a fair assessment. It also doesn't have much ground clearance with the underslung exhaust. But my God is it fun on the road.

Is engine durability of triumph bikes same as japanese ones like Kawasaki & Honda etc???

@3089280288 Год назад

except the shifter is DIFFERENT from the other models with its tight shifter. CF Moto 650 MT is nice

@Spy_Pigeon Год назад

Waiting on the mx and enduro modles to drop from triumph hope its not another ktm style bike

@mickleblade Год назад

Have you noticed there is a 19cm step between driver and passenger seat?

@stevec6427 Год назад

You need to get hold of a Yamaha Tracer 7. I rode the Tiger Sport and Tracer 7 and preferred the Tracer. Both are awesome though

@bigblue729 9 месяцев назад

Tracer 7 hasn’t made its way to the states yet. I don’t know if it ever will but we did get the tracer 9.

@RollinWeight910 Год назад

The Tiger Sport 660 or the MT-07, with the consideration of price

@frankieromantv7653 Год назад

Definitely a nice bike

@NakulSaxena Год назад

Hi. A quick question. How is Triumph Tiger Sport 660 compared to KTM 790 Adventure? Which one would be better since here in Norway, they are sold (almost) at the same price point :)

@slowsteve3497 Год назад

They are very different. Triumph is really a sport tourer like versys 650. Ktm is great off-road with 21 inch front tire.

@Uriel-Septim. Год назад

Køre du kun på asfalt så gå efter Tigeren, køre du en del offroad/grus veje så vælg KTM´en.

@NakulSaxena Год назад

@@Uriel-Septim. Hei. Takk for svar. Jeg skal kjøre mest på asfalt tror jeg og motorvei. Så er det Triumph kanskje bedre alternativ :) Jeg har allerde en KTM Duke 390 men ønsker å 'oppgradere' til tung MC og derfor var litt usikkert hvis jeg skal fortsette med KTM eller skal velge en fra Triumph :)

@Uriel-Septim. Год назад

@@NakulSaxena Jeg køre på en Suzuki 650 bandit fra 2008 og ønsker en ny/nyere model, så jeg overvejer en tiger 660 som en direkte udskiftning, tror den er super god til hverdags kørsel og lidt touring i weekenden, men jeg bor også i København og har meget få grus veje her, det vil være by/landevej og lidt motorvej den kommer til at køre 99% af tiden, så har indskrænket det til Tiger 660, suzuki versys 650 eller MT 07 men tror den 3 cylender motor vil være sjovest og kan også bedst lide designet.

Test rode one. Wind turbulence is horrid. A used Tracer 9 with a bit more power would be better value for the money, not that the turbulence is likely to be much better.

@chrispetrou9926 Год назад

Here in Europe, the Tracer 7 is the king of this category. Unfortunately, it's not available in the US market which i find kinda strange.

@dreamcrusher112 Год назад

tracer 9 outsells these massively.

@aToxicPotato338 Год назад

God I wish this bike was available in the states. My #1 pick but it is unobtainium

@jralcoberes7406 3 месяца назад

Yo yammie you set the bike to "TRIP 1" setting, normally that wont give you what you wanted from the throttle. Set it to "TRIP 2" you ask for it, you'll get it. For the record Trip 2 make the engine more aggressive.
