Glad they went with the single headlight, its a much more attractive look than the double or bug eye look
Yea the Street Triple is hideous!
@@jayohh8508 it looks like a gigantic ant 😆
It is kinda nice to be able to see at night though....
Yes, about time too. That was a deal breaker for me but I will definitely consider this model.
@Brian M Yah no shit. I've had 5 Triples and the ones with the double roundies are my faves.
You nailed it triumph. A good looking bike. Hope to have that bike one day. I love it.
It's nice to see manufacturers putting some emphasis on affordable street bikes with sane horsepower and strong powerbands for street riding. Eighty HP in a light 400 lb bike is wickedly fast on public roads and this machine will handle nicely in the twisties. Definitely a big thumbs up in the looks dept.
I know!!! I've owned 4 Triumphs, all 955/1050's. I'm 55 and I just don't feel the need to prove or to experience how fast I can go, but rather how well I go fast. So I sold my 1050 Speedy and bought a 2006 Multistrada S with Ohlins. To which I might add one of these for the daily rider and keep the Multi for long runs. Make mine white.
Cool bike. I wonder why these reviews never talk about the reliability of Japanese bikes.
That’s one of the main reasons I buy them.💯👍🏽🏍
Agreed. I think I'll stick with my Yamaha fz6r
I've owned over 20 bikes of many brands including 5 Triumphs (2009 Scrambler, 2010 Speed Triple, 2012 Street Triple, 2015 Scrambler and 2019 Scrambler 1200XE and I'd say they are generally as reliable as the Japanese bikes (I had a sensor issue on the 2019, a small gasket leak on my 2009 Scrambler, but aside from that it's been really trouble free. Actually put 70000km on my 2015 Scrambler and aside from oil and tires, that was about it. The worst reliability brands I've experienced, by far, are Ducati and KTM, though to be fair they were a 2013 and 2008 so I'd like to think they've improved since, but my friend had a Duke 390 and he had a problem with the fan sensor leading to engine overheating....
I could purchase a brand new 2019 MT 07 for $6900. US . Kinda makes it a no brainer choice.
@Mr. Leeds well said.
I love the backend, love the dash/connectivity and the engine power is nicely positioned. I like a single, round headlight and decent tyres too. Not so keen on the tank at the moment but that may change. Having owned an XSR 700 and CB650R I think Triumph are right on the money here. They are going to poach a lot of customers which is great news for anyone looking in this segment! Great report and interview as always. Looking forward to the full ride review. 👍
My 2018 T120 is coming up to 80K miles and will be at 100K miles by next season... Looking for the next high mileage replacement. Damn, I can see putting miles on this little bike, commuting to work going away and doing some sport touring and yielding allot of miles and smiles per gallon. Bravo Triumph, I swear I wasn't going to buy another brand new Triumph but I might just...
Feel like they've really pulled a blinder here - impressed at the price
@@motobob The Value is absolutely astonishing. Brand new this bike is right in my budget for the next "mule" so to speak. My Bonneville has been an exceptional surprise and is my favorite motorcycle to date. Spec sheet looks to be quicker than my current T120 and about $5K less dollars new.... This bike will do everything I need it to do, daily commuting, slow city riding and rural back road riding. I see they fit it with premium Road 5 tires (all I run on my T120) which is the silent nod from Triumph, clearly they are planning the owners of these Tridents to chase big miles out of the crate. So impressed with Triumph these past few years... Made a convert out of me! Last thing I need to see is a top rack and cruise control... Have those things and I'll put a deposit down now.
Bob, awesome review filled with detailed content/comparisons to its main rivals! As everyone has basically made one now one this bike yours is by a long margin better than any I’ve watched so far! Keep up the great work you do and I look forward to your next video! Glad I was right from day one that it would use the street triple engine (with some minor adjustments). 👍😎
Holy shit that looks amazing. I wasn't excited for this bike at all but looking at it I was wrong!
See Harley,, a bike that comes with stuff and isn’t expensive. Take notes.
sorry but murder is illegal
The correct use of commas are important.
"See, Harley,"
@@genericallyaccepted I’m so sorry Tom, I’ll fix it right away.
@@BadDirtRider hahaha
@@genericallyaccepted all done my man (finger guns)
As usual, the gold standard of bike news from Bob. Cracking video ! This could be my first bike I recon
Thanks Lyndon! Appreciate it. And yeah it would be ideal for that
Definitely going to be my 1st bike. Cant wait
the best part for me is the looks i just loved the roadster type looks and it does a look a little like the ducati monster to me the colour choices are good and the engine specs are good it got the punch for a weekender imo and also it looks the best in comparison to its competitors but i feel like the dash is a little bit small but it's still manageable the whole package is good but i will be waiting for the pricing in India
After some footage and promo events around these last weeks the only question is what colour to pick. All four have a point. 😬
Personally I like the white since it looks the most classy
Glad to see Triumph making such a great intermediate/beginnerish bike. I think they absolutely killed it with this bike. As someone who had a 16 speed triple r as a second bike and later "upgraded" to an S1000rr I will always have an appreciation for triumph as a brand and it made me develop a soft spot for them. So many great memories with that bike in my first and second years of riding.
It's grate that Triumph is listening to the motorcycle community! We need more motorcycle like this! Cheep and cheerful! Well I can see a big budget middleweight group test Trident Z650 CB650R MT07 and my two dark Horses in this category SV650/SV650X(a grand cheeper then the Trident) and Benelli 752S!!
This is the best vid on the Trident as it directly compares the specs to the competitor bikes. Awesome job dude!
Motobob, thanks for bringing us the news on this bike. Very informative video, and I enjoy your style of presentation. And what a great looking Triumph. I think it will really hit a sweet spot in the market.
Motobob sees it in the flesh already! Well done sir !!!! Outstanding video mate. I like it. I wanna demo it lol. Quick. Sporty. Agile. Sleek. Winner.
More of a competitor for the xsr700 which means the price is even more competitive
FZ07/MT07 same bike different tanks.
Exactly but the trident has a rounded tank like the xsr not angular like the mt
Yup it's 7999 which is 500/600 cheaper than the xsr, wonder what yamaha is gonna do for the 2022 xsr
Looks great, perfect specs, capacity and price? It’s British too! Really hope it works for Triumph and they shed loads
Love it. Should be a great city bike with decent ability for weekend rides. Cheers for the vid - look forward to the ride test!
Did something happen to the Suzuki sv650 or why is everyone acting as if it’s not in the class?
Fair point, although on specs it's similar to the Z650 so not that competitive. Also apparently Suzuki killing it off and working on a parallel twin, which is a real shame as there are so many of them now
@@motobob thanks for the note. I guess we will half to see as the 2021’s keep coming out
@@motobob According to my research (;)) the SV outpowers the Yamaha and thus the kawasaki according to these measurements.

You already saw it in the flesh?! 😳🤩😍

This was actually a week ago mate! :) Very happy to have been invited
@@motobob the quality of your Public Service was recognized 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And well deserved so.

Looks really good. Surprisingly, and against my usual taste, I prefer the white one! Think I'd still go for a twin tho, because I love low end kick, but I'd have to ride it. Top marks though.
Definitely looking forward to first ride videos for this bike. It’s a damn good looking bike! I could definitely see this as my first new bike which I’ve been thinking about for a couple months now. I’ve considered all the other bikes u mentioned and this takes it on looks for me. Again I’ll have to wait and see it in action
Thank you a detailed video on this product. It worth every penny as as far i can see .
I love the fact that they put in the knee pads. And that seat looks really sweet. All in all, its a winner in my opinion.
A very Good review. Well done and professionnel.
I love Triumph. This is a very Good move for TRIUMPH. Nice looking and quality made as usual from TRIUMPH.
👍
Great review, thanks! Is that a pressed steel swing arm like the MT07? The MT07’s swing arm does not handle UK winters...
My XSR 900 has an inverted LCD dash that's pretty powerful and boasts great visibility in all conditions. This one on the Trident looks as good as that, so I think it'll do fine (i.e. much better than the CB's).
I am very interested in the idea of this one ...A triple do it all at a lower CC .. High gas milage .. There is another market that is quietly moving along here that may have an interest ...The 70 and 80 year old lifers who need a lighter bike to hold up with older leg strength .:) .This has the look of a modern classic of the 2020's ..I agree with Jonny Goodliff this is a great compeditor for the XSR700 at a better price ..
As a modern classic guy, I am not usually attracted to the ascetics of these kinds of bikes but this looks pretty nice. Not just the expected fit and finish of a Triumph...I think it’s the shorter wheel base as well. I’ll definitely throw a leg over when it shows up at my local Triumph dealer
It's worth a shot I reckon!
@@motobob indeed!
Triumph's done it again! Thanks for the report, great content like always! You're such an inspiration!!
🔱🙌
Nice video, as a Street Triple owner, I must say the twin lights are wonderful on the road. This IS Great Britain, please can we have full mudguards to protect our investment.
I will be getting one of these right away. I was looking at the MT-07 and the XSR but, this blows them out of the water style wise.
Alright finally, the other of 2 videos I actually wanted to see.
MT07 is a proven platform. It performs great. very reliable, easy to get parts and yes also fuel efficient than triumph's engines. Can the trident really compete in terms of Longevity, reliability?
Its a great looking bike. Getting a retro vibe from it. but I'd stay out of this for now. Its the first gen, lets see what happens in the future.
Note: I'm not a bike expert. I love all machines with wheels
The upcoming Tuono 660 will spank all the options in this segment albeit likely at a higher price tag.
@@DavidGillilandACA Yes I pointed that out already but the Tuono will very likely cost less than the RS model. So perhaps only a $2k difference between that and a Trident
@@DavidGillilandACA it has more tech as standard though.
I wish I could purchase this one. Kinda unique machine which can give you a more thrill then expected.
Thanks Triumph !
I own a Cb650R, and Damm the Trident looks amazing, having the easy integration with the bluetooth it will make a dent to the CB sales. Having only 3 cylinder it might have a better gas consumption. So keen for a test drive.
For sure I would be in between the two. Specially the Neo Retro looks.
Looks hot and right for me!!! Can't wait to see it in the US
Brilliant love it. Ordering one Monday, my T120 is too heavy
I love these middle weight nakeds.This bike looks awesome from Triumph.
I believe this may be my next bike! Looking forward to your review.
Great vid Bob. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Great reviews and good quality videos.
Can you also have a video on how to chose or select a quality camera, Motorcycle Helmet Bluetooth system .
Looks great. I think the Trident will sell well. Well done Triumph.
Triumph Trident 2021 is the best middleweight naked motorcycle period.
I just hope the trident steel frame doesn’t rust like the MT07
I just hope it doesnt break down while I'm riding.
@@johnroe3915 maybe we need an SV650 instead 😂. I’ll let others try the early versions of this bike .
Ok....Wow...let's begin with something very important here...Rob...Motobob...just a superb job. IMHO I think many fans AND Triumph will agree this a great review...utterly superb presentation of this...it's been a tantalising wait and both you and Triumph have not dissapointed on delivery...I think I might have actually dribbled watching this...as a happy Street Twin owner on my customisation journey having only got my joy and pride last January I’m still thinking damn (!) that's a great looking bike! I actually exclaimed out loud when you dropped the price...this thing should surely fly out the dealers...I get it....what a joy....cracking a can and watching this again....a joy...
Cheers mate! Appreciate all of your encouragement and support. You well?
@@motobob All good buddy. Scorpion Trail 2s going on this w/e, Yay! Keep it coming with the good stuff...
The more I look at it, the more I like it. Beautiful bike with a modern retro look and up to date technology. Love it. 👍
It looks stunning. I am loving the looks. Can’t wait for your first ride review.
Me too!
@ Motobob : will you be attending the official launch event ?
You can't really bang on about heritage for a company that really only started making decent products in the late 80s early 90s. Combine this with a manufacturing process located in Asia and your historic threads become translucent. Kawasaki however have been building successful quality motorcycles since 1966. The arrival of the W1 marked the death of Triumph in its original genuine format, an efficient quality machine that outperformed, didn't cost the earth or breakdown. The Kawasaki brand remains unchanged from that day which is a true example of providence and history. Good video keep up the work.
Great review, Bob! And great job on this bike triumph! If I didn't own my Yamaha fz6r I'd give this bike a serious look.
Cheers Frank - I agree, they've done well with this one
XSR700, thats the answer, I love riding mine..... but always fancied a triple and this could be next.
I’m currently stacking up a few bikes for my next bike on an a2 licence, the usual suspects really, MT-07 and such, but I gotta say, thus might just take the cake.
That is a well spec'd bike- nice one Triumph.
I wonder if we can get a non LAMS version in Australia, loving the look of this bike and would love to get my hands on the non restricted version
Yep what a crock not bringing the full power.
Love it. White one for me please 😊
A big complaint about the Modern Classics range has been the seam around the edge of the fuel tank - the new Trident's tank is seamless. Sorry to brag, but I saw this bike at the factory a few weeks ago, and it does look great in the metal. It should be a great seller for Triumph.
Some people have mentioned brakes. I found the brakes were great when I tested it.... no worries at all, this bike will suit newer riders but its a cracking bike for a more experienced rider to exploit too.
Awsome bike. Great video 👍 Greetings from Poland.
Looks like quality grade!! Go triumph!!!
I think it looks awesome, can't wait to check it out in person, JR
Surprised the SV650 was not mentioned. I would think this new bike would eat into SV sales.
Pity Triumph never brought the full powered one to Australia. They lost me there.
Over board graphics seem to conceal the harmony of the free form of the bike, a simple matt paint would uplift the bike by miles
A triumph poderia fazer uma Trident 1050, aproveitando o motor da speed triple,. O design dessa moto ficou lindo, uma versão 1050cc seria fantástico!!!
And this bike will be the best middle weight standard allrounder bike for a long time just like the Street twin.
For the sake of £200 I would have made the price £6,999 - certainly a better headline figure :-)
The actual price for the set up shown here is closer to £8,000.
@@konraduk6228 big ouff, isnt the street triple around 8k?
@@Daniel-dj7fh A2 Compliant Street Triple S is £8.1k with the My Triumph BT system built in. The 2020 MT-09 Triple is £8.8k.
@@konraduk6228 the mt09 is not a2 complient right
@@Daniel-dj7fh Nope. But neither is the standard Street Triple R (£9.1k).
If these motorcycle companies were smart they'd use bluetooth to allow the rider to download different dispays onto their phone.
That's such a cost to add, as for the construtor and the buyer. Maybe it would be an option but for that first price motocycle I'm not sure that would be a good choice to add (as if it's verry usefull to get bluetooth stuff !)
Eager for this bike come to Brazil. So beautiful and Triumph is reference in engineering
Hi moto bob , the new trident looks really good and the Gray and red looks really good and the price is not bad . The Only thing don't like is the rear huger over the tyer it could do with being under the rear break light
What's with the clutch actuator exiting at the bottom of the clutch bulge? If that seal lets go it'll dump oil. There's a reason everyone else puts it at the top.
Why wasn't Husqvarna's Vitpilen 701 considered in the comparison? The Trident has 5 more horsepower, less torque and weights 22kg more. Also, how many of the bikes you mentioned here have a hydraulic clutch? The trident seems nice though, and I agree it looks great. By the way, in Aus I paid $10,500 AUD new including on road costs from a dealership for my 701, that's about 5,700 GBP.
I really like this . I may put off my next purchase to see how these fair in the next year reliability wise .
Are those receptacles for paddock stand bobbins just ahead of the rear axles?
I think so yeah
WoW ! Looks amazing!
Great work MOTOBOB, really enjoyed the interview. Only wish I was a beginner again...
Nice moto Triumph, but I question the wisdom of putting the rear indicators so low down. Looks cool but makes it much harder for cars to see them when in busy city traffic.
Cheers Sam! And yes that’s a fair point. Surprised there isn’t a homologation rule about height... or maybe there is and they’re on the cusp
This will be my firt motobike, love it, cannot wait!
Looks amazing. Better than I thought to be honest. Just wish they'd pushed the boat out with one of the colourways and been a little more adventurous....But...Drab sell I guess?
Great video nice looking bike looking forward to riding a demo stay safe looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍🏻
Cheers RP! Can't wait to try it out now
A great looking naked, lots of usable torque and the cache of the Trident name. This should make for a killer urban warrior, while still being good on the twisties.
Was the exhaust at 8:40 dirty or was it rusty/discoloured? Seems to be made of really cheap stuff, would definitely be the first thing to go - kinda lets the build quality down. Also they should include the BMW F900R to its competitors - yeah its a bit more expensive, but it is in the same category.
When you think about Triumph was at one point two steps away from disappearing, it really makes me feel super good about them to see the kind of bikes they are putting out. And makes me feel good about loving motorcycles to see a company be so passionate about creating high quality bikes that connect with why everyone rides. I think about people who find out in high school they are dyslexic. They get to a point where everything is a struggle, but through good people and direction, they turn everything around and you hear about them flourishing later on.
I wouldn't call it a MT 07 killer. Only maybe in the context of a magazine's bike comparison. At a probable $9000 price, the MT07 will still be a popular ride. Needs a yellow or a Goodwood green version.
Absolutely stunning ❤️
Can you put a normal licence plate holder/bracket on that?
great vid Bob. Cant wait to see Tridents out on the streets
Super nicely looking bike .Good job "Triumph" 👍🤩
Love everything about it! Put down a $$ on a pre-order ... and hope it's in Canada by early/mid spring 2021
I preordered one here in the states. Plan is March delivery!
Nice! I think this will be a great upgrade to my Husqvarna Svartpilen 401
Definitely!
It really is a great looking bike cant wait to hear one that gets opened up with full exhaust etc
A contender for that segment no doubt. And it is going to have good sales.
Good video Bob. I like this 1 and think Triumph will do well with it but disappointed no low seat version.
That’s by far the best looking bike of the bunch!
It’s definitely my pick from the bunch. I’m seriously considering buying it
MB- WOULD LOVE a comparison video between the Trident and a 2020 street twin! (Specs and such....). Side by side, Right?!? Keep up the great work! TJL
I think I'd wait for a Trident RS for an additional $1k+
Improve brakes, suspension, and probably tuned more like the 675r. Would probably still undercut the CB650r.
Bad idea. If you want a bike designed for a racetrack, just get the 675. If you want a bike designed for public roads, the less touchy brakes, more meaty midrange, and softer suspension set up, this will serve one much better.
@@saddle8bag I daily a ST675r, brakes are perfect, linear in feel with a strong bite midway through the lever, engine is linear in power throughout (would be even more beginner friendly with a rain riding mode), you can adjust the suspension to be quite soft or very rigid, front-&-back. You might be confusing my mentioning of 675r with the Daytona or the 765, because the ST675r is track-capable but more road oriented.
@@dsgr6164 won’t happen, because it‘s called a Street 660S. But if you just passed the A test after 2 years of A2, you will likely gravitates towards the Street 765 R anyways.
@@MB3Drift mate, this bike is going to axe the ST660S. The line up would make more sense as Trident, Trident RS, ST765R, ST765RS, Speed Triple R, Speed Triple RS. The top spec of the lower cc model would inch close to the standard spec of the bigger cc model.
Omg I want it now. Stunning.
this is so beautifully designed
Triumph could make a modern bobber on that platform🏍
I'm sure Triumph will expand this model into an expanded range, think MTO7, XSR 700, Tracer 700
Love the lower seat height. Many asian countries would love it! Nice one Triumph!👍
