- So extremely lucky I was to ride a NEW TRIUMPH TRIDENT 660 for 10 days!
So extremely unfortunate I had to give it back.
I loved it!
It's a definition of NIPPY.
Thank you for watching.

What do you think of a new Trident?
Idk..... I pick mine up tomorrow @nursefitbody.... I’ll post 😊
Let me help with some negatives :)
1. Cheap-looking foot brake lever - according to Chris from Bike World "is from Chinese scooter" :) and some Germans reviewers on Tenerife pointed it is poor engineering.
2. Rear monoshock, looking poor/cheap as well but some technical guy (don't remember YT channel, he is well respected, they make bike mods) said it will have to be covered because all crap goes straight into it (performs ok most ppl said)
3. Big ugly brake master cylinder "in the front of your vision", been seen apparently on some Kawasaki's from 70's :)
4. Throttle lag - this one is inconclusive, one Japanese guy said it is bad, some journalists said is there but not bothersome, some did not notice at all. One guy from Thailand presented it clearly, lag is there.
There is more, some very subjective, some less. Overall....a good bike but nothing super duper for the price.
Great review of the trident, fell in love with it when it first released, going to view one tomorrow and test ride in a few weeks, it's this or the Cb650r ?
Hows
the ground clearance on this bike?
I bought one last week and I absolutely love this bike but those fugly mirrors have to go.
ok. So I subscribed to your channel after seeing the review of the Speed 400. But This Review is more useful than those of the bigger channels. You really get Riding. Some of us just love Riding and the Bikes that make riding more accessible and continuous like these Triumph bikes are a great Niche. Thanks for the post.
Great work on this and your IG. Love seeing all the bikes and high quality photos. Keep it up. You will grow to 10k then 20k etc really quickly. You're right up there with Doodle and other good female riders / vloggers.
Thank you so much for a kind words and appreciating the effort put into this. Really means a lot as some days I honestly need encouragement to keep doing this :)
It is not the only 660 3 cylinder bike on the market! Triumph has been making a Street Triple 660 for AUS and NZ for over 7 years! Plus the new S triple is 660!!! Check your facts and I’ll continue watching! 👍😎🇦🇺
Thank you 🙏🏻 My bad! Should of research better.
@@tomboyabit 😊 Not a problem at all! For both AUS and NZ the learner category (LAMS) is an extremely high selling area! Both countries, under this scheme, which is different to the A2 format for Europe as we can only ride up to 660 cc bikes with a power to weight ratio of 150 kw per metric tonne. So manufacturers like Triumph specifically have been making them for us (not capped at 35 kw or 47 bhp) as for the trident and triple we get around 40 Kw. Yamaha has also (since the MT-07 was launched) make a slightly reduced capacity engine and power being a 655 cc bike. I did however thoroughly enjoy your impressions of the Trident 🔱! 👍😎🇦🇺
They push this as a beginner bike... But I have a ninja 1k and a tenere and would consider one of these as a nimble little bike for filtering through city traffic. These middleweight bikes aren't just for beginners!
The most remarkable thing in your bikes review vlogs are those locations you film in, all the places you show, very smart choices Tom, you showed its a city bike which also can be taken to long trips and highways
Thank you so much! It was still very cold rides. As a temperature here was like in winter, hardly finding a couple bright hours. Grateful you appreciate me showing beautiful local roads. Fingers crossed the restrictions will be over soon and I can’t go everywhere!
Hi girl ! :) very nice video and love your routes you take! Love seeing you and listening to you talk! ♡ So fun they bring back the Trident...i have worked on the old original Tridents they made years ago!...cool bike in their day as well ! Thanks girl !
Damn you. I totally talked myself out of getting this bike...until now. And, you gained a sub.
What a great review!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad you liked it!!
Hi, this is my first view of your channel, and you've made a big impression with this review. I loved every aspect of it, from your beautiful narrator's voice, to the great and unusual camera positions. Some very impressive riding, making it look so easy to control when riding and stationary. I loved your commentary, with a lot of info spoken from experience.
Thank you. Really nice to read this and means a lot.
@@tomboyabit Hi wow nice motorbike and you look stunning in your biker gear
Tomboy abit white lining up the middle,nice cutting loose having fun.
Must be a great bike.
Great video and review, Deimante. You definitely got me excited about getting my bum on a Trident. I also made sure I didn’t skip the ads, I hope that helps?! 😁👍
Thank you Phil! You, as a Triumph rider should most definitely try it!
Yeah, everything helps. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
This is the first time I have watched your channel, and it’s great to see someone do what you do so well close to where I live. Definitely subscribed and looking forward to watching more great vlogs, keep up the great work.
Thank you Rob 🙏🏻 I hope you’ll enjoy my videos ❤️
Hepco Becker do a nice throw over pannier for the Trident for touring so if 🐅 Tiger 660 to heavy for you Trident will tour with the Hepco Becker throw overs.
Looks very sporty bike & has heaps of go 🏍️👍 Nice sounding bike. Looks like you can flick it around easily. Ps I like your sun visor with the peak over your helmet.
has heaps of go until you hit 75mph then it just seems to drag..... look at the power curves.
@@Jafmanz Probably can do an eg: ecu mod to fix anything like that as its probably just limited by the factory.
...and a white helmet to match the bike, very fashionable and asthetic. As I said before, getting very professional. I'm pleased for you and your growing number of Subs 👍.
favourite class of bike....
looks like a beauty... love the sound.... Looks WAY better than my z650.... I've had a gsx 750 to a Vulcan 1600 even a dr200(everyone shoud have a street trail) ...love this 650 naked class....
Test rode Trident today at Premier Triumph Oxford, deposit down, pick up next week hopefully, Matt black, thanks for your great review that helped my choice 👍
Waw congratulations! Such a great purchase! That video just got the biggest meaning it can be. You tried the bike, you liked the bike you have it. Happy to help you to find each other. 😍♥️
picked mine up over a week ago, absolutely loving it!!
Congratulations!!
I'm equally as impressed by your dress sense. It gives me ideas as I'm considering dropping the suit and the car for a bike😎.
If you gonna do it, you will come back to thank me. Haha It’s probably my distinction level Degree in Fashion helps 😃
@@tomboyabit I will most definitely come back when the time comes. You're the only reviewer thus far who has appealed to my need for great, presentable, and commanding looks on a bike. You're so cool to watch.
wow that stock exhaust is delicious
I really like how the bike roars to life during start up.
Good review, nice looking bike
Best of luck sis,
Your blogging is too good.
Thank you. Appreciate your kind words 🙏🏻
I really liked it when I drove it a few weeks ago and I really like the styling. Sure it isn't a Street Triple (I owned one of those for 8 years), but it would be a great second bike beside my Scrambler 1200.
I have have to test ride it! Your Review made me want it so badly!
I'm sure you'll fall in love with it! It's gone a couple days and I miss it badly.
Got mine last week. Its a blast, you’ll love it
Congratulations! Jelly a bit.
Really slick review, I like your style 😎 Really good bike from Triumph, for new riders or returning riders, some great features at a very reasonable price eg It’s not often you get Michelin Road 5’s on a budget bike, keep ‘em coming lady, subscribed 👍🏻
Thank you! I've got messages from people who have bough it as 'another bike'. Perfect for it too. Welcome to my Channel ;)
Love the name...you got my attention..hitting the subscribe button!
Thank you so much. Honestly appreciate you! 🙏🏻🖤
Great lil bike! Triumph are ticking a lot of boxes in recent times. I have 2 Bonneville models & love them! If I was in the market for a good runabout or 2nd bike, this would be hard to go passed! But I recently bought the BMW R18 so running out of room!🤪🤣 Stay Covid safe!!!🙏Cheers from Australia 👍🏻😎🇦🇺
duuude i cant wait for mine to arrive! :D
Waw so lucky!! Happy for you!
what do u do for living?
@@todd_vincy4710 I work :)
"IS THERE ANYTHING FOR EVERYONE TO LIKE" that was epic...!!!
Despite being a budget bike Triumph have fitted premium tyres which are great in the wet - good to see.
There is some other premium features I wouldn’t expect for such price. They hit targeted market very strong, must say.
Excellent video.So glad I found you on RUclips.
Thank you 🙏🏻 Welcome to my channel! ♥️
Always a soft spot for a triumph.
What a beautiful bike (and a beautiful girl 😍)
Simp-leton
Great video: lovely bike and those North Essex roads ;)
Wow, so you now have a camera man 👍. You are getting very good and professional at this YT job.
Beautiful bike..., when are you selling the Sportster for this?
You look good on it, very good.
It looks the perfect bike for town use and short day rides.
Think I would consider it as my daily ride..., I wonder if it is already in at my local Triumph shop in Bern. I'll be on the phone tomoz.
Same PCP cost for a Honda CB1000R, Triumph APR is high, dropped the ball there.
I like your review, talk a lot of sense
Thank you 🙏🏻
It's so weird. In Norway the MT-07 is 17.5% cheaper then the Trident (MT-07 is 97,000 NOK~£8 323 and the Trident is 120,000 NOK~£10 296). In Britain it's closer to the opposite from what i've gathered. I wish we had British prices...
I love this video 💯
this bike is GORGEOUS! for only $9,095.00 CAD is really cheap
I do agree that is worth a price. And more.
Yes it is a nice bike....on the other hand .... Honda cb 650 r neo cafe racer is absolutely lovely naked too....which one is more desired??? The same price...for me Honda has better more interesting look... but triumph's look has sth from the past...I like it as well
looks a great bike, but it would no good for me touring wise because there is not enough room for luggage. could you fit a top box on it. great video keep up the good work
You look so good on that bike. :>)
Thank you 🙏🏻
You can’t argue with the value of the Trident imo but I’m not in love with the looks and I wonder how easy it would be to upgrade that huge exhaust system to get some nicer sounds?
You're my Height,,I Recently sold 19 Gsxs 750z, I highly recommend you try it. I have nothing but good things to say,,113 HP 210 kg. Flag foot Easy..Fast bike ,good breaks and Suspension etc.
I need to find a dealership and take it for a ride then 😃
Great video. Thanks 😊
Thank you, girl. I’m 5 9 or 175cm :)
@@tomboyabit yes thanks. Skipped that part while skimming through. I watched it all now. Luv it. I'm waiting for mine in ice silver and diablo red. I'm 5 7 so I'm calculating if I will be on tiptoes. Thanks once again. Going to watch some of your other vids 😊
It’s so light even if you’ll be on tiptoes you’ll be confident stopping at the junctions. Or ducking 😂 🦆
Such a good choice! I really like silver and red more! So happy for you. Amazing bike!
@@tomboyabit thank you 👍
hey there, great video, i am needing/wanting this bike so bad, not sure if its going to have enough power though for me. do u still have the bike? did u find it had sufficient power? what was the longest ride you have taken? i now live in the mountains with alot of fantastic roads and the CBR is getting up there in age for the long rides, thanks for your help and b safe out there, cheers
Ordered mine, delivery late April. There is none in Canade yet. They think in UK that it's perpetual winter here.
How exciting for you! It as still winter here yesterday too, I think it's more related with your local distributors. You have to come back and tell us how you like it when you'll finally get it.
@@tomboyabit For us winter is 3' of snow wich is possible to get in one shot at the end of April. Québec forbids motorcyle riding between December 1st and March 15, getting caught is costly. Usually, we get new models of any brands around may with some exceptions.
In that case you’re lucky getting it early! Not long left!
Michel Brisebois that's completely nuts I never realized that you can't ride in Quebec between those dates. I'm in Ontario and if you get a good day you can ride anytime. I mean you could ride in the snow if you wanted I see allot of people riding dirt bikes on the roads in winter or out on the frozen lakes with spiked tires.
@@ChrisWolf75 No problems riding offroads. You can't ride between those dates if you don't have winter tires on roads. Means if you have winter tires on your bike you are ok to ride (have to find em). Between you and me, putting winter tires on anything else than a dirt bike isn't a great idea and we use a lot of salt on our roads.
Nice to see the bike made you smile :)
😄 Bikes always makes me smile
Banging video thank you for sharing! what the black and white helmet you are wearing at 0:47 on your video please?
Looking good!!
Looking cute trident ❤️
Very nice review ! I pick up mine in a week :)
Omg! So so lucky! I wish I still have it now when the weather improved! Will it be your only bike? Or one of many toys?
@@tomboyabit This will be my first bike, but knowing me, it will not be the last one for sure :)
What a great choice for the first bike!!! Come back and let us know how you too getting along :)
decent machine :)
Agree 🙏🏻
Love the video 👌
Thanks 😁
Nice,Can you do Ktm duke 125 Eu review
I’ll see if I can get it 🙏🏻
i like your name tomboy a bit! haha
That’s literally who I am ☺️
I like your style, most reviewers just go on helmet cam for the whole review. How much heat does it pump out when sitting in traffic? My Ducati scrambler is way to hot here conmuting to Monaco
Thank you. I tried to do in helmet talking too, but it’s not me. Plus there is a lot of great RUclipsrs who’s doing it. Glad to hear you appreciate my choice to do it differently.
I had a Triumph Scrambler before this one. Anx could feel the heat out the engine, which was a blessing in a mid winter here in UK, but would not like it in a hot day. On Trident i haven’t noticed any more heat then on any naked I rode.
I have xsr700 but i like the trident
Thinking of a swap?
Dimiente- one question, I usually ride RE bikes, and have one sports bike, Ian comfortable with both but the RE GTs and Interceptor feels more stable, now I plan to get either the BMW GS or GSA 850 or Triumph 900, confused, can you suggest, well I am 6’1” and broad so which one will be a better bet - you expertise please.
Both of them are tall bikes, so you should not feel on top of them.
However I’m not an expert in the adventure bikes. I rode both you mentioned and felt the same like I don’t belong on them. (Did quite a bit of riding on both. Went to Wales on GS).
Equally great bikes I’d say. I would test ride them both if I were you and would get the one that feels more yours.
Also I’d watch reviews by the adventure bike riders, and would read forums about the common issues and maintenance. Hope that helps.
@@tomboyabit thanks a lot, very helpful!
Everything is really good on this bike except one thing atleast for me. That is the bike is so small almost like they made it for teenagers or for women. But besides from that you get good value for your money. ”Edit” and also the new euro5 makes the bike sound like a chiken
Is i that engine compliant with euro4 or 5, lots of exhaust emissions?
Nice bike, but everything was eclipsed by her lovely accent.
Is that Frinton on Sea?
What camera do you use while riding? I just bought an Insta360
I use GoPro Max 360 and GoPro7
Is it a good motorcycle for beginners?
I think it is. Ticks all the boxes to me. Super easy to control, light but also fun and won’t need an upgrade after one season.
It was made for you.Why did you give it back ?You can get a very long way away in 10 days lol
What would your accent be considered/called?
Have no idea. People call it the ‘most confusing’ ‘sounding like 7 different countries’ 😂
@@tomboyabit well I guess what I meant is like what area did you grow up in/influenced it? Does it not even sound similar to people around you? That’s fascinating. I couldn’t hone in on it. When you were talking very slow and deliberate I was like ok somewhere in the UK makes sense but then I thought I was picking up South African tones and I just gave up 😂. I don’t mean to sound rude by the way, doesn’t matter in the end, not trying to fit you in a box or anything I’m just the curious type
What about height 5/4 still easy driving keep safe ride
What do you mean 5/4? Height? I honestly can’t answer this, but I’ve seen people this height riding a lot bigger bikes then Trident so I know it is possible. Being so light it’s an advantage of holding it even if you only tiptoe.
@@tomboyabit I mean my height right now my bike is duke 390 also I'm tip toe but no problem at all, i have question what is lower seat duke 390 or triumph trident, thanks keep safe...
Attractive 5ft9in great accent... Wot bike?😉
Hahaha thank you. 🙏🏻
Can I know ur height?
Yep 175cm
I have a feeling this bike will look really look with women riders
It’s really good for a smaller riders, I’d say. Lightweight bikes always makes me more confident on the road.
Nice review , but why the music :(
Because my life is full of music! I think a day without it is dull. I leave plenty of the bike sound to hear how it sounds, I believe.
Where did you felt music distracts you?
How tall are you?
175cm 5’9
xsr700 is better
I should try and check it 😉
@@tomboyabit I dont know if you a fan of inline 3's over twins though. The XSR 7 with fork gators looks very cafe though.
I passed my licence on Yamaha, and XSR just came out that year. I remember admiring the look of it. But ship owner was grumpy and I went to look for something different 😅
