    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.

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!

    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.

      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 😀

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

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    A good and balanced review, as ever.
    Why is it, though, that bike designers usually get the hard bits right but fail on silly things like: some storage under the seat, particularly for a disc lock; keeping road muck off rear shocks and radiators; handles to help move the bike and attach luggage; and provision for paddock stands?

      Style over function. I'm sure they've determined bikes sell based on the style and media appeal first and foremost. In this case, it looks like wheel gap was maximized over storage space and passenger/luggage accommodations.

    • @maxrider7880
      @maxrider7880 3 года назад +1

      It has provision for paddock stands, grab handles are available as an accessory, just as luggage is. The grab handles are not included as the margins on this bike must be very slim, so they are hoping to claw some back on the accessories I suppose.

    This looks like such an easy and enjoyable bike to get on with every day with some fun on the weekend. Love the Road 5 tires being standard as well, and quite a reasonable price. I just had my first ride of 2021 today here in Canada (usually April is when it starts)... so nice to be back out again, despite the salt.. still a good 2 feet of snow everywhere! Safe riding

    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.

    A dry weather summer Sunday bike for local roads or to make it useful :- The rear end is silly and impracticle. Might as well join the two parts of the rear fender and make a proper mudguard and the front guard should be elongated to give the motor and exhaust some protection. A strengthened rear sub frame to provide support for a decent carrier is also needed. Apart from all that your video is very good.

    Very informative video! I was thinking about Trident and CB650R. I remember 2 years ago Trident was slightly more expensive than CB. However thanks to Honda, brand new CB650s are not coming to my country and they do not give a date. So old (pre 2024) CB650R's are now totaly on blackmarket and their prices are aprox. 20% higher than Trident. I guess that makes Trident more attractive

    I have bought some Oxford throw-over bags for a long week-end trip into France later this year!!!!? two-up. I have offered them onto the bike (with grab handles) and they will be okay for this short trip. We are just waiting for next week to try them out. The rear foot pegs for the pillion are lower than the Street Triple/Speed Triple. My wife and I have previously toured Normandy on a Speed Triple for a long weekend, with the same set-up, no probs.

The only thing I’ve noticed is the silver metal pieces seem to be tarnishing. Any tips on product to bring back a shine?

    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.

    Thanks for the review Mr TMF. I guess as a second division Street Triple (and Triumph's price entry bike) It seems pretty good. There is a good deal of "Streety" fun factor in the Trident. However, for a £1k more one can have the real thing. I cannot see how a Street Twin is more expensive than either of the above, maybe i'm missing something here.
    My owned from new 09 Street Triple has served me well hooning around the roads from Poitiers to La Rochelle or touring the Dordogne & Lot valley's also Massif Central mountains with my tent & bivvy bag.
    I'm in my 60's now and looking to cool my heels a bit, a 1st gen Scrambler looks mighty tempting.

      @@TheMissendenFlyer Hi Andy, I think i'm a Triumph man now, I got enough clothing. Anyway, here is a tale. My late father was an original 50's Luton rocker and a BSA man (Gold Flash) apart from tear arsing down to the north circular, they used to holiday in St Ives Cornwall, a 2 day ride. He 2 brothers & mates making the trip, unfortunately uncle Ken who had a Ariel sq four, removed the sidecar but kept forgetting to lean, hence crashed into many hedges delayed their progress.
      Fast forward to my teen years (70's) he had a Speed Twin, tanks painted in Vauxhall honey starmist gold & high level Scrambler style exhausts & VW beetle tail pipes.
      I'm getting a nostalgic hankering to re live that time, I used to ride that bike at the age of 15 when my dad was at work. I can reveal this as he is long gone & living in France the British rozzers cannot feel my collar for the deeds I admit too. LOL.
