I’m 69 years old and after I sold my BMW R1200RT I decided to purchase the 2023 Triumph Speed Twin 900. After having that bike for about 10 months I decided to get something a little faster because that’s what I was used to riding so I got the 2023 Triumph Trident 660. I’m just a little satisfied with the Trident, but I think I may be selling the Trident and thinking of purchasing the Triumph Triple R or Rs. I will be turning 70 next month retired military workout three days out of the week at the gym and I still love fast bikes. So don’t count us seniors as you stated out just yet. Safe riding and keep your wheels right side down.👨🏻🦳
@@Corolao7464 that’s fantastic. Brilliant your still out doing what you love 🙌🏻 I didn’t word it very well in the video 😬 it wasn’t meant to way it came out, I hope I didn’t offend anyone because it really wasn’t meant that way. Ride safe dude!!
Audio sounding much better! Nice job on the review, got a really good first impression on it. Also it's your fault I'm now obsessed with the look of the xsr900gp 🥵
Thank you! I was jumping between to cameras for the audio made editing it so much harder 🤣 I’ve got a new mic adapter so next video should be even clearer! Hahaha go test ride one? I’ll come with you!
@@kankit230 I’m glad you’re getting on well with it! Was a lovely little bike! I’m still not sure on the market here for it in the uk. Hopefully the review and your comment can get people out trying them 🙌🏻 stay safe!!
@@bikerwithabag yea for UK you have better options but is surely one of the best options for someone looking for sub 500cc bike. In asia we don't really have roads or traffic sensibility to ride at extremely high speeds
Hi, really enjoyed your review of the 457. I’m in the UK and have booked a test ride this week and guess what I’m one of the oldies you spoke about😁 I’m 64 and I do struggle a bit now with heavy bikes so this 457 could be perfect for me. It would also make a nice stablemate for my 250.
@@Tony-ug1mv ohh fantastic!! Do update how you got on with it! Yeah I didn’t word the “older” bit very well 😬 definitely wasn’t meant in a bad way. Have a great ride!
Thank you, sound should be even better on the next as got a new mic adapter on the way. Yeah I done it for the xsr intro but forgot with this one, 😂 mind goes so blank when trying to do these, then when I edit I have a “oh damn it” moment 😂😂
😂 I ride that bit of road all the time I’ve never had a bike wobble over that lump like the 457 did 😂 took me off guard for sure. Haha oops I probably didn’t word that all to well 😬 by bad.

I'm 62 with a cbr500r. Loved every second on it. Great Mpg dependable. It's a bit heavy.
457 somehow is in my cross hairs for my next
@@jzimmt it’s a lovely bike isn’t it! But yeah I agree it is heavy, especially for a smaller bike.

Got this 3 weeks back, it costs way less than 660. Did 400km highway run was perfect. The bike does 160kmph all day

I really like mine! I’m also 5 feet 1 inch tall and it is a perfect height. I plan to turn mine into a racebike.

Nice review, sound is much improved. Could I just suggest that you turn your phone sideways for the intro so that the whole video is in landscape.
Thank you, sound should be even better on the next as got a new mic adapter on the way.

15:34 always nice to see clearly visible warning signs... Apparently I'm now officially elderly having downsized last year 🤣

Same for me then, just traded in my VStrom 1000 for a RS 457
At 60+, no hooligan days????
Having had a 916 senna, a Mille R -SP, Pegaso Strada, Cagiva Navigator, back in the day.
Most fun Aprilia RS250, try one.
Would you recommend this as a beginner bike?
@@CeXization oh absolutely 100%
Aprillia, nope, Ducati, nope, Italian only = MV yes yes yes....
😂😂
From India can’t buy here costly
can you help me with 💰 🎉 it would be helpful
Dude it's literally the cheapest parallel twin after ninja, how much more less do you want it to be? Ask nirmala Thai to reduce taxes then😅
