    Are you thinking of purchasing the Trident as your first motorcycle? Did you purchase it already as a first timer? Let me hear your experiences.

    • @gkerzie8207
      @gkerzie8207 2 года назад

      Bought mine as a first bike as well. Took me less than 2 weeks to reach that first service interval cause I couldn’t stay off of it. For others considering this as a first bike, a respect for the power is absolutely necessary. It’s not scary powerful by any means but it can get away from you if you aren’t careful. With that being said, it is a confidence inspiring motorcycle and certainly appropriate for the right type of beginner.
      I will second the wind comment, Texas winds have blown me around plenty and it’s an unsettling feeling every time. Ride safe

    Im @ about 3 months daily riding on my Trident, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bike! Mine didnt cost more than the MSRP though, was about 10k for me after fees/taxes. BTW, in order to achieve a consistent 50mpg, rain mode must be on from my experience. I got the up/down quickshifter after my first month and feel like every Trident should come with it stock. I just wish she had a "sport" mode as well as an extra gallon of tank capacity. The Puig windscreen helps stabilize the bike at higher speeds as well. If you do your own oil changes, you can use a bluetooth ELM327 OBD/CANBUS adapter & smartphone to shut off the wrench light, and Mobil-1 4T oil makes the motor MUCH quieter than the castrol.

You are correct it is a long term bike in that it never feels lacking in any situation. Top speed, 0-60 the Trident is more than the sum of its parts. ride safe.

    I'm thinking of buying a Trident. I live near Brea. How did you find the experience of buying from a dealer? Were the salespeople nice, or did they try to trick you into paying more money? Were there added fees and markups?

    • @halohalohikers3571
      @halohalohikers3571  Год назад

      The salesman on the floor was friendly enough. It’s always sort of stressful making a purchase like this and talking to the numbers guy in the back. I feel like Triumphs are more rare than a yahmaha and the dealer knows it. That being said there wasn’t any wiggle room for negotiation on the price. They sold it MSRP and added an import fee or something I forget the exact terminology. But from all my research there was only 4 of these bikes being sold in California so I could really be bitter.

I dont find the power to intimidating but definitely enough for the road, handles amazing and love the lool of it too. I was debating between this and the Honda CB650R, im sure the hondas a great bike being a honda but it just didn’t excite me like the Trident did.

    Fantastic video. I've watched a couple others and they too were great. I love the aesthetics of your bike. Your mods really improved the look of an already great looking bike. I have a deposit on a 2023 Orange Trident. Hopefully it will be here sooner than later as we are running out of riding weather in the near future. Also have EvoTech parts (thanks for your video on them) on order. Frame sliders, axle sliders, radiator guard and bobbins. May get the shorty levers later. I am going to need a paddock stand. Question....which paddock stand do you use? Do you recommend that one? This is my second bike and for the 3000 miles I rode my first bike (Honda Rebel 500) I pushed it around the driveway trying to clean and lube the chain. PITA!! Not doing that again.
    I test rode 4 bikes this summer and loved all so it was a tough decision. I'm 5'7" w/ short legs and this seat height made me a bit nervous before the test ride and I almost skipped over this bike as I am on the balls of my feet. Test rode it in ROAD mode and found it surprisingly easier than I anticipated but I may ride mine in RAIN mode for at least the first ride to see if I still feel that way. I loved the handling, throttle, clutch, motor, transmission and that sound even with the stock exhaust. Because of all that I can see that this bike could easily encourage me to ride beyond my skill level so I'll have to consider that before every ride.

      That is a tough one! The Ducati Monster is such a beast, I really like it. Aesthetically the monster is a modern naked and the trident is a neo-retro naked imo, and it’s sort of subjective which look your going for. But as far as power I feel like trident is a rocket still! it’s plenty fast on the freeway and it has great low end acceleration around town. My only gripe is I wish first gear was a little longer.

      @@cloroxbleach3367 oh I see! Another thing to consider is that first maintenance is required at the dealership and likely will need to go back each year for the first few years for oil changes, just to ensure you don’t void your warranty. Might be something to consider if the dealership is extremely far!

      @@halohalohikers3571 oh that's something I didn't even think about thank you for bringing that up! What's your average fuel mileage? I'm not to worried about that thought sense it'd be more for running around on the weekends or if I'm going somewhere after work I'm assuming the tank will last awhile unless I do some spirited riding

      No USB charger. There is an adapter you can add to the fuse box under the seat I believe.

      I paid for mine. Your dealership might be different. I have a video about my first service experience if you would be interested in watching.
