Yams - With your triumph history, you are probably familiar with tuneecu. Assuming they support the ecu you can beef up throttle response to anything you like. Might be worth checking into while you guys are modding it out.
@@nishachauhan2998 Agreed. We're in Canadiah. Lots of us watch Yammie up here and it's riding season now! My back gets wrecked daily on my R6.
@@pax1980 That's my hope. I saw there are already some tunes out there for the Trident but (1) They don't provide details on if they address the throttle response issue and (2) I imagine that means bye bye warranty.
Love this bike, but being on disability and not having enough money to take care of myself let alone buy a bike I'll just have to settle for never having a motorcycle in my life, but I can always watch Yammie Noob ride'em and have fun on them, thanks
Just came back to this review with a smile on my face. I've had my Trident for 7 weeks and 1400 miles and absolutely love it. What a fun ride. No noticeable throttle lag. Flicks into corners. Torque everywhere. Quickshifter on order will make it even more fun. After being cooped up for two years, and having not ridden while raising kids, this bike is a gift from the heavens. Thanks Yam and crew for all the great content.
just got mine last week and its been such a breath of fresh air and a fantastic bike for me toget back into riding after my last wreck.
Pillion comfort?
@@MuhammedShafiS I'm told it's good on mine. (Been riding mine for about a month)
What a perfect day to ride a British bike in texas.👌
Try riding it in Britain🤣
@@O161n If this pandemic ever ends.😭 I'll just have to ride around Washington in the rain and pretend.😆
Almost everyday is a perfect day here lol
It’s a perfect day for a sandwich
@@davidgrantphelps1944 also always a perfect day for a sandwich
My bikes currently sitting parked waiting for parts after an accident, these videos are the only thing keeping me sane
Rebel 1100, Trident, looping the WR...Yammie’s on fire lately!!
Where and when do they announce the winners?
Rs660 as well
Which bike is best? Rebel 1100 or the Trident 660?
that throttle feel is part of Triumphs new 'Anti-Yeet' technology
If its like the speed twin you can add spacers to remove the lag, they are called ducati spacers
For a first bike I appreciate that feature!
@@ponderguy7724 thanks
Throtle behaviour changes after 1000 miles.. and becomes more reactiv
Just one more reason I will not consider buying a modern Trumpet. The fake carbs on an EFI bike. That was too much for me. I will be a yeeting hooner til I die.
First time rider. Just took mine out for the very first time ever yesterday. I don’t have anything to compare it to because it’s my first bike, but it was a great experience. Handles amazingly. My only concern is that trucks looks massive on the road when you’re on a bike😂
Ride safe and enjoy!
You got a trident?
Yes sir
@@Tybward as a truck driver, do us a favor and pass us quickly we don’t like folks riding beside us lol besides that you’re good always watching out 👌
Hey man I’m also starting out on a bike, I am taking my training soon, do u have any tips or advice to deal with the nerves of first time riding?
I test rode this today... still can’t believe how good this bike is, it fits my criteria perfectly on what I want on a motorcycle at the moment. Plus Yammie description of it is pretty accurate in most cases (I think he was a salesman or a real estate broker in a past life, this man knows how to sell stuff!). No frills, good looking, well made and a motorcycle brand with legendary reputation.
I think we have a winner here.... love at first ride.
legendary for what? shaking, breaking down, leaking, whack elecs and rusting?.
@@ribalderr6052 naw, maybe just great looking nostalgia tee shirts.
It looks so cool I definitely wanna try one, triumph have done a lot of good things in recent years! Great video man!
That front brake complaint is not uncommon for a lot of Triumphs with Nissin calipers. I think it’s the brake pads they use. A set of EBC HH pads improves them massively.
This is a compelling bike even for guys like me who own four other Triumphs and have been riding for years. It seems like the perfect commuter bike and fun around-town transport. And I love how its design calls back to the ‘90s Trident, which was itself a more everyday-street-friendly variation on the original Speed Triple.
I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this video. I love my cb300r but it was love at first sight with the trident and I can’t wait to upgrade to it someday
Saw it in person yesterday by accident. I felt the same way it's gorgeous.
For those wondering... the fast flashing of the RPMs is a "break-in mode" that will indicate when you either need to shift or chill on the revs during the break-in period. This can be disabled in the settings.
The brake lever is adjustable, the clutch is NOT. That said, TEC is a UK parts maker that has a division in the US and offers a great set of black adjustable Clutch and Brake lever for about $70 and are excellent quality.
the tank is metal but the cover is not, so if you wanted to change the look to a different version ( i wasnt fast enough to secure a matte black so I got the sapphire black same as this vid) I found out from Triumph parts you can swap the tank cover, rear under tail cover, radiator end panels and front fender should you want a different variant look
just got mine! I absolutely love it! The fit and finish is unmatched by its competitors!
Honestly that is bullshit. It's ok. But the brake lever and clutch lever feels like it game from an oversized mountainbike. The fit om the japanese bike is better. Almost 3 times higher reliability speaks volumes. That said it's still a nice bike. But better it is not.
@@Sunrazor ^ he knows about triumphs
Picked up a 2024 matte black a week ago and put 250 miles on it in the first week. First bike for me and I really enjoy this bike. Fantastic choice for me. Every time I take it out I get compliments on it. I agree with your entire review including the part about whether or not it's for a first rider-someone who is a bit older with more emotional control over their faculties and a higher level of maturity hits perfect for the first bike.
I have been waiting for this
Yammie yk earlier you were the godforsaken god of riding who didn't give a shit about components and top-end stuff. This video gave me that vibe, I'm digging it!
Bout time you bought one Yammie! You’re one of the main reasons I decided to buy this bike over the competition
super clean dash and the area around the handlebars is just well made
This channel has been my go to for dealing with my anxiety attacks
Much respect man!
I own this bike. I’m a beginner rider and as my first bike, it works well for me. It has punchy power when you open the throttle but it is stable during take off for beginners. I ride it for fun and on Virginian roads, it works well. Highway wind is annoying. Crouching required.
looking at the trident for my first too. how light does it feel at low speeds, have you dropped it or been close to?
@@utchabayski Yeah. I had one close call. I’m in my late 30s so I’m not an aggressive rider and when I do ride, I’m doing joy rides rather than for commuting. The bike is average in weight when turning with speed. Low speed maneuvering is always risky. The bikes turning circle is not great. Given I am a new rider I bought the frame protection kit. If buying brand new, during the break in period the onboard computer limits your bike so it will feel slower (but safer) to let you gain confidence (and to protect the engine). Once you complete your break in period, the limiters are automatically disabled and you can gain more speed at lower gears. It’s a really cool bike for beginners. I still ride once a week and having clocked 1033 miles in the last two months, I feel it’s pretty forgiving for beginners. The gear change is smooth. Neutral can sometimes be a pain to get to but gear up and down has been easy. I did change out the brake and clutch levers. The clutch lever was non-adjustable and it was pretty spaced out. It can be tiring pulling it in from afar as a beginner as your nerves insist that you keep your hand out there.
Hope that helped. Stay safe.
@@donaldl6076 Thanks heaps my guy. Definitely getting the the protection pack for peace of mind. This bike looks like a blast I can’t wait to ride it!
@@utchabayski Happy to help. Best of luck with your purchase. I was lucky and only needed to waited for month to get my bike when it first launched. Where I am in Richmond VA, there’s not many around. Let me know how it goes. Congrats for jumping on your own of two wheels. Cheers.
Im looking to find my first bike, but I wonder if the seat hight is to high... my hight is 5,6.feet/171.cm. What do you think?
If the bike is brand new I am pretty sure that Triumph have a break in programme in the ECU that won't let you access full throttle opening or maximum power. A few more miles on the clock and it will go even better, the beakes might even improve.
Throtle behaviour changes after 1000 miles too, it becomes more reactiv
Yam, you should make a proper Trident vs CB650r video!
Tuono
I agree, with the price creep from the MT07 and sv650 over the years and the T660 coming in at 8k is making the cb650r look better and better with age.
The Trident has less power but rides as if it’s more powerful... clever triumph, go test it...
@@FnuMnuLnu the 2021 CB650R only has adjustable rear pre-load, it's the same showa non adjustable forks up front as the trident 660.
Cb650r 💪
My dealer had 12 pre-orders including mine. I should have it this week. I am excited.
Looking forward to watching your track day with it 😊
Love the content bro
Just put a deposit down on the base crystal white trident! Dealer gets it in end of this week, I will be picking it up on Monday. I am super excited.
I have been waiting for this bike since the reveal last year.
The looks sold me right away!
Love the sound and looks. Once I'm bored of my MTO3 Im about to move on to this I believe!
I got to see two at the dealer when I was getting my new Tiger 900 last week. It was cool to compare the differences between my MT-07 and the Trident. Just from the appearances I really liked the look of the Trident. If I had stupid money I would have brought it home too!
Being the owner of the very first Trident (1969 T-150), I’m really interested in checking this one out. I know the namesake and the 3 cylinders are the only things my bike and this one have in common, but, nevertheless, I’m excited to try it out! 🤘😎
Yam, thanks for giving us excellent content, and also thanks for giving my wife a reason to get angry that I “take too long” on the toilet!
Ha ha
Thats shitty bro lol
I am an older rider. My first bike was a Yamaha 650 in 1985. I have ridden all kinds of motorcycles over the years but wanted something small and lighter. A lot of the bikes available in this class just seem geared for the younger crowd which is understandable because most older riders prefer the larger cruiser type motorcycles. Triumph has caught my eye with this motorcycle and some of the other motorcycles such as the Street Twin. I feel like I could own a bike like this and not feel out of place for my age group. I don't think this is just for beginners. I think it would also be a great second bike to roam the city, run errands or even commute. It definitely fits a reasonable budget and I look forward to the evolution of the Trident in future years.
I think the Trident would look better with Black Radiator Accents and Black Levers.
Trident also has higher seat in relation to the the pegs, so more leg room.
In contrast , I lowered the pegs on my CB 650 r about 1 inch.
FWIW: I'm 69 years and my friend that rode with me this weekend is 87.
We did 162 miles and swapped between the CB 650 r and the Trident at 90 miles.
Watched every video on this bike and bought it. This is the most honest and comprehensive review on the bike I've seen.
If you wanted to go on a tour/ longer ride, is there paneer/top case for some storage you can get with this bike?
@@thomasosmond4067 There is a tank bag and a tail bag available from the dealer that's about it.
I was told it has a factory rev limit tune during break-in, do you think the throttle response will change once that’s removed?
This channel is so good. If I had this 15 years ago it would have saved me a lot of worry. Long live the MotoVlogger!
I JUST bought one, love the video, great info
Something sticks with me from your three-way comparo with this bike, the R6 and the ?650.
You may not realize you do this, but you step on Whitney when she expresses an opinion you do not expect to hear. Spite will push back when you challenge him, but Whitney just goes quiet.
Whitney has a distinct philosophy as a rider, even if she does not have your broad knowledge of motorcycles. I urge you to capitalize on that. Do a review one-on-one with her. Give her the opportunity to graduate to Spite status, doing an occasional review of her own.
Your channel will win in the end.
Agreed. I like Whitney. She’s got Moxie.
Took the Trident for a test ride and I think it is one of the smoothest power delivery bikes I've rode
Really nice bike. Thanks for the video
Nice objective review. Keep up the good work.
Very good nice a clear video and the bike, 👍👍👍 can see it perfect
Love the look of the bike as well as the dash very clean
Fun watching these vlogs around a town I recognize!
What a really good review!
Good on Triumph! Brilliant! My local Triumph dealer says these are all sold before they are even out of the crate.
I went on Thursday to my local triumph dealer and rode the trident 660 and i must say its an interesting situation going from a traditional to a ride by wire never having ridden one. It seems like its an amazing motorcycle though would be much better with a more beefy sounding exhaust. Going from my ike with a full yoshi to the 660 was just a little quiet.
I was testriding a trident today and immediately bought one 😍 probably will arrive by end of May
Great video.Which one do you prefer for hooligan type urban / city riding?Duke 390 or this?Which one is suited for aggressive riding?
I've been racing cars for a bit now, and have a respect for power and not being dumb... I just got my permit today, and after I pass my test, I'm so tempted to get this bike in Crystal White for my first. I'll probably get someone's beater 250cc bike for this summer so I can save money and get some experience, but I really, really love how this bike looks, and others seem to be a fan of it, as well. I'm not looking to squid out and get something insane, I just want a peppy commuter that can take a curve, and will be kind to a beginner... bingo. Thank you Triumph and Yammie, you've got me sold.
I’ve had mine for a couple weeks now. I’m a new rider and upgraded from gsx250r. Omg........ so in love with how the bike handles.
What’s the range like?
Yam comparing this to the XSR 700, what do you think?
9:13 Impressed you didn’t lose your flow and get distracted by the Ferrari.
I watched this video a couple of times now! Can you get another color and do the same video lol! I really enjoy the relaxation of watching these videos.
Throttle spacers might help with the slack. Not sure if this throttle is the same type, but it made a world of difference on my speed twin. TMF did a great video about it.
Hello kids !
Love your Reviews! How is it compared to the xsr 700?
Alright yam, now that you have both - trident 660 or rs660?
YAMMEI NOOB KEEP DOING GREAT THINGS
Hopefully u can find a louder underbelly exhaust vs a huge muffler on the side of the bike!
after everything you said about mounting a windscreen, it could be a challenge for the upgrades: find and mount a nice aftermarket windscreen/shield without ruining the look of the bike :)
Is that throttle lag from being in rain mode or does it persist across the modes?
So imma need that XSR 700 vs. Trident 660 comparison.
They keep comparing it to the mt-07 but I think the xsr700 would be more comparable to
Add in Husqvarna Vitpilen/svartpilen 701
also vs CB650R
@@kirkford1748 it´s literally the same bike
@@kirkford1748 Is the same bike lol
Yammy blurring the speedo during the acceleration run😂
I just bought a 2018 Street Triple RS last month and it does have a little bit of throttle slop. Bought a spacer for it from Ducati Spacers and its fine now.
This bike is more of a ducati monster-look alike than the actual ,this year's ducati monster. Beautiful machine
Awesome looking bike👌
Yammie, what would you recommend as a first street bike: the SV650 in standard form or the Trident? For basic drive-around-town stuff in a dry, desert area. I have some riding experience and prefer a tourquey, nimble bike, but I have not ridden in 20+ years. Thanks!
what no answer here?. mr noob?. heres ya go friend- for experienced and former riders as a 2nd bike., not the one an only. u can come back on anything big as u want, youll get back to it quick like u never left. go test ride. it wont be enough for u I guarantee it. yam an motobob gotta be responsible for one heall of alot a triumph buyer regret man.
Might go look at one. Been waiting. It's only a beginner bike if you want to jump up to something else. If you want something to tool around town or commute it's great all-around bike.
Honestly dont really believe in "beginner bikes" myself. You should start on something small and easy to handle, but saying you have to upgrade? Naw bro. Where I live I have a lot of mountain roads that are SUPER tight and SUPER narrow. I could ride a litre bike but its worthless on these roads. Sv650? 400cc sport bikes? That's where it's at for the riding I do.
I'm curious what your opinion would be if the Trident would have the same price as the CB650R (as it is the case in Europe).
Splendid bubble and squeak governor 👌
My first legit street ride was a Yamaha WR250X 2009
A very special bike indeed
Still own it from new
Only year in black
Priceless
Love this bike
Regarding the front brake, I thought the same as you when I first rode my bike but when the pads bed-in different story. How many miles had you on the clock when this was recorded, not many by the look of the flashing rev counter!!!!!
What road are you on? It really reminds me of Hwy 281 past canyon lake almost to San Antonio or are you in the hill country somewhere?
I want one of these!!! Gotta have it!!
One question for the experts... Looks aside between the trident and the BMW F900R 2022.. both... Which one would you choose and why???
Couldn’t agree more on the throttle delay, I test rode one and I thought there was something wrong with it.
Fml so i was just about to make my mind up between the cbr650r and the mt07 (cbr650r was taking my $ up till now), and now this beautiful trident 660 shows up aaaaahhhhh! So beautiful! Idk what to do now! 🤯🤯
I just got the tiger sport 660 and I’m loving it.
Love my Street triple but this is a great looking bike.
Thanks Triumph for making a bike that looks a bike instead of trash plástic transformer like Yamaha or Kawasaki like.
Hi Yam! When you stopped and spoke about throttle lag, when you slightly blipped the throttle it seems as the engine RPM sounded like it was moving up in synch with the throttle input. Are you just watching the tach and seeing it not move with the slight throttle twist even though end sounds to be reving or does the throttle input/engine rev truly not do anything. When can we buy a Yammie front brake reservoir sock???
No, noticeable lag. Not just display
I would love to see you testing the Triumph Street Triple
Triumphs been killing it.
yammie im a bit early!!♥️♥️🇵🇭
Please compare the engine performance to the Tiger 850 Sport you tested a couple months ago. Their both triples and both mid 80 HP.
most spoken words on yammienoob ... "this thing is really really good"
Looks comfortable but I like the mustard looking one better!
I really enjoy my triumph trident :) perfect bike for me - beginner rider
I mean, in regards to the throttle response, wasn't it set to Rain mode, which dampens the response? I'm sure the edgier modes will provide the twitchier responses
Papa yam! Can you do a video about the new generation of sport “touring” bikes? I.e gsx-s1000f, ninja 1000sx and others?
I think something like this makes a great 2nd bike coming from a 250. I test rode one today and it felt like a rocket ship. It was the 2nd vehicle to make me scream in exhilaration from the acceleration--first was a C7 Corvette stingray--except the stingray needed full throttle in first gear for that while 75% throttle in 2nd gear on this bike had the same effect.
wait you guys drop a gear when riding on the hwy? My little MT-03 has enough power to pass
I have many questions...
I want to learn about the acceleration? I feel like it was slow being a 650 cc bike, was it an A2 linked model?
600 miles for the first service, every 10k for service intervals after the break in service, every 20k for valve clearance check/adjustments. I own a trident in crystal white. The brakes seem great to me but you have more experience with performance bikes with better braking abilities so my ignorance orlack of experience with other bikes may dictate my opinion. Everything else you said it spot on.
Yammie cant believe you havent done a rider review on the Triumph Speed Twin!
After years of watching your videos I totally just realized the past few days that you’re in Austin! You ever do any fan meet up rides?
I was just at a Triumph dealer buying a Street Triple about a month ago. While waiting on the back office to get the paperwork ready, the salesman tried to get me to test ride a Speed Triple and Daytona, trying to upset me. I took each in a lap around the parking lot as well as a Speed Twin and Tiger 900. But they wouldn't let me even swing a leg over the only Trident they had. If you want one, get yourself on an order list.
Hey Yammie. What are you going to do to the WR?
How does it compare to the XSR 700 ? I heard this is a lot more stiff, yet it has a better suspension/
How reliable are triumphs? Service intervals?
i just tested the trident this last weekend and i noticed the throttle delay. thought i was crazy. overall, it's a really good bike, but i wasn't blown away by it. very comfortable, great features, handles well, but it feels muted and soulless. while it's a good "beginner bike", i think a more experienced rider who has had bigger bikes will appreciate it more. i can see beginners still wanted more. i'm a beginner with only about 4 months of experience at this point so this is just a newbie opinion.
