Triumph’s accessory catalog includes grab handles for the rear of the seat. Thus addressing 1/Passenger having something to hold onto, 2/ Ability to attach luggage. Looks like Krista’s US 20 would fit perfectly on the rear of the seat, 3/ Something to hold onto when you move the bike while standing beside it. Thanks for the review, informative as always.

This is one of the BEST vids I have ever seen. And I follow numerous contributors on other subjects and hobbies, and all are good or great. No waffle, no self indulgence, but a thorough review covering all aspects of the Triumph. I dont know the contributors name, but a massive thank you! Its almost completely rare that I would watch a vid of this length with out falling asleep. This is snappy, thoughtful and detailed review. Well I have a Trident on order and of course this review is several years old, but nevertheless, Im looking forward to owning my new Trident 660! Oh, I have also Subscribed and look forward to watching other reviews!

@SlimRhyno 3 года назад

I have loved these videos (and your channel as a whole) for years now, but I really wanted to thank you for making this one. I'm returning to motorcycling after about 15 years, and I've been having a hell of a time deciding between the striking Husqvarna Svartpilen and the Trident. Well, your video has sealed the win for Triumph! Unfortunately, here in Kansas City, they are rarer than hen's teeth... especially the matte jet black one with the big Triumph logo emblazoned in white on the side of the tank. Anywho, I just wanted to let you know that your video has been genuinely helpful, and that I really do appreciate it. I'll let you know how I get along with it... again, if I can find one. My Triumph dealer said that they can't keep them in stock. They come in the back and go right out the front. Heh, a pretty good problem for a business to have, I'd say! Well, thanks again, and please take care.

@jeremykydd2149 2 года назад

Hi my name is Jeremy from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I can't believe how similar our choices were. I have some inheritance money coming to me & had decided to get the Husqvarna Svartpilen but the more I thought about it the more I realized that if I didn't get the Trident I would always regret it. So same deal here all stock to New Zealand is pretty much presold before arrival & as luck would have it someone had taken delivery of one with the Matt black tank with large union jack on it & only riden 600ks before deciding they wanted a adventure bike instead so fortunately I will receive it shortly 😀

Test rode the trident last week at the Staffordshire launch day, chatted to the marketing lady for awhile about your reviews and relationship with triumph. Ended up doing an interview on the bike as part of their day...good fun, enjoyed the bike....sun out, near the peaks...on a new bike ..what’s not to like. If your after a predictable blast over the twisties, that has great geometry for energetic sprints...it’s one to look at. As usual great review from the missendenFlyer

This looks like a perfect bike for a bit of commuting and those two or three hour rides on the weekend exploring the local countryside. I would venture to say a great bike for New Zealand conditions where there are essentially no motorways and the cops are hot on speeding (100km/h speed limit). I like the long maintenance intervals as well. Nice review as always.

@brianmcbain6997 3 года назад

Long maintenance intervals are meaningless, still needs annual service. Only good if you do over 10,000 miles a year

@onecookieboy 3 года назад

@@brianmcbain6997 Agree, but it does show confidence in the product, and things like valve clearance check/adjust are milage dependent, not time, so for low mileage users that is a bonus.

So thanks, it may not be the RS Street Triple but I sold that way back as it was a tad too quick for me and I was finding myself way over the limit all the time…. This seems to have the tone and agility of the bike and I absolutely love it in the orange so win win for me. Thanks again, another awesome review.

@rbattson7171 3 года назад

Seen loads of reviews on this and the competition. They notice the overall quality and handling of the bike with decent performance of this triumph, the brake pedal looked fine to me, pretty thick guaged metal. The Honda is good, but you have to rev the nuts off it. The yammy has the slightly better engine, but less overall fit and finish and iffy handling when pushed. All in all, the triumph nails it.

Yamaha Tracer MT07- This could be the next version to solve touring-luggage problems highlighted. Yamaha Tenere - Would this make a good light weight base model to the Tiger adventurer range with some uprated suspension-wheels. Yamaha XSR retro - Like to see the Triumph style team bring out a retro triple.

@pip2756 Год назад

Thank you for your review. There are accessories for the bike on Triumph’s website including pillion handles and a rear seat bag. I agree it’s no tourer but then look at the price! You said the there doesn’t seem to be much go after reaching 70 at 5,500rpm. Interesting that the power band doesn’t go up but still remains until about 9,250rpm. I’m not sure how this should feel but it seems quite happy to go faster. I’m new to biking. I’m thinking this bike whilst being a good price could also almost last over to bike buying cycles and prepare you for most bigger bikes when you eventually sell. Would you add cruise control and gear assist or would this be a waist of time and money? Thank you again.

@crumblymal8479 3 года назад

Good review as usual in total agreement on your views here I like the bike but ! why no center stand on a bike that light they are useful I am guessing the the exhaust won't allow it . The tail I reckon could be a little longer and wider but I think maybe Triumph are not aiming this bike at anything other than new riders as I first bigger bike so they will not be taking pillions . The price well for me it would be buy a used Street triple with low mileage for probably less money , for me it's a run around town bike but ya can't buy to much cos ya only have yer back pack ha : D excellent .

Two points about flashing your lights (keep bees in your bonnet)……. Two pints. On my advanced course flashing the lights at the other driver is looked down on for safety. Then to flash in a narrow road to say “you first” can be done by doing a quick high beam. I enjoy your reviews “so don’t get me wrong” hehe.

Great review! Love seeing your garage as I think to myself there is a man who has his priorities set. Also, just for shits and giggles could you do a review on the new Indian Super Chief? Im not a cruiser fan and I know they all typically look the same but for some reason I was struck by the look of it. Would love to see your review of said bike! Cheers!

Thank you - so glad you spotted that!

Looks like a great first 'big bike' and competitively priced. Agree on the looks, not really my cup of tea, but I don't feel like I'm the target market for it.

Exactly Chris....

Great little video. I ordered mine as soon as it was announced but having to wait another 2weeks for Triumph Glasgow to deliver!! But they are doing it for free do can't complain. Just a quick question and I guess it depends on whether that bike was still in the running in period but do you know if the rev display is automatically programmed in to show the riding in max rev for each stage of riding in? And does it move to the next rev limit after said specified miles. Cheers.

Good question and I don't know the answer - I wondered that too!

Excellent manufacturer, product & top finishes. That’s even before you get into the TRIPLE, which there’s really none (middleweight) that’s better!

Excellent review as always. :) Things that put me off, looks, the seat something looks incomplete there. The street triple is known for the quirky bug eyes and being bonkers in a way (which i like :P) . The trident seems to be an attempt to usher in more riders towards Triumph :). Overall a very well spec'd bike but not to my liking though. If it were me, i'd rather wait, save up and get the Striple R. And the sound from the engine... isn't that a bit muffled than the older Street triple S?

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Yes it doesn't have quite the rasp of a Street Triple for sure...it's recognizably Triumph Triple sounding though...

This just in: TMF miffed at not being able to flash people at night. More to come as the story develops.

Was wondering if you'd know, with it having a steel frame will it be prone to rust like the previous MT07?

A great review Andy! Thank you for your honest impressions. 👍😎🇦🇺

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

No problem 👍

@racingrooster4642 3 года назад

Andy , I agree with majority of points. The tyres are more like slicks, I'm old school and like slots on tyre edge to force water out and away from tyre, can't see that happening with this pattern. Not important as mine will Not be going out in the wet.lol. Grab handles are available but you have to find someone small and stupid enough to sit on that perch,not an issue for me again. Can;t wait to get some miles on mine. Luggage ? It's not a tourer, it's a fun ride lane blaster, horses for courses so yet again not an issue for me . Cheers now.
