- Hey All!!
Firstly, I hope you rowdy bunch are all good 👍
At the beginning of the week, Triumph UK kindly sent me a Trident 660, an absokute thing of BEAUTY 🤩
This is my first impressions of the bike!
Very gutted that all I can really do is take it to work and back but I am hoping that as soon as the lock down lifts, I can take a trident to my local country lanes for some aggressive throttle action! 🙊
Let me know what you think about this addition to the Triumph familia 🇬🇧

Kate does the perspective on seat height and pushes the bikes around a bit. Simple but, incredibly helpful.
Thank you so much John! 😊
Best bike reviewer on RUclips. I love your voice. No over dramatizing or fake emotion. Just even keel and conversational. You definitely know your bikes.
Go tigers!
I love Triumphs, they’ve really nailed bikes this last 5-10 years, thanks Kate
I am picking mine up Monday 1st March. A comment on beginners bike. I’m 65 had over 25 bikes including three V-Max I find the very light weight and enough power suit me now. Has a huge spread of torque and very good spec for the money. I’m trading in my Bonneville 1200 which is actually 1bhp less and so heavy feels like a tank in comparison looking forward to it. Have added Triumph connectivity and heated grips. Your test was a good first ride test have subscribed see how you get on.
Beat you Stuart! I'm 65 and picked up my 34th bike a couple of months ago, a Honda CMX500 (don't laugh!). Knee joints and ankles not so good so after a lifetime of big cruisers and adventure bikes I have had to down size and get something physically smaller and lighter if I'm to continue riding. The CMX is so much FUN I can't believe it! Ride safe mate.
Hi Kate, It was good to see a nice sunny day for this review, and your 1440p is superb, and in perfect widescreen. This was a good review with a detailed walk-around, showing all aspects of this beautiful machine, and it's certainly no slouch on the road. Look forward to seeing you giving it a blast over the mountain roads.
Thanks a lot for this video im new to the channel! Good work! I am 5’5’’ with just short of 30’’. I am looking to change my my ninja 400. Im a big fan of triumph and i found this trident might be the perfect first triumph for me! BR from Montreal ( cant wait for the snow to melt) and again thanks for the video !
Hi Kate, great review of the trident and an in depth review while riding it. Look forward to the next video - great stuff.
Great job on the review! More or less all-inclusive. You touched on everything. Very impressive. I bought this bike last week after watching yours and other's reviews. Thank you for your insights.
Hi Kate great review as usual your real world no nonsense approach is spot on looking forward to the next one 😀👍 Rob and Lynne.
Great review thanks Kate. Also good to see how the foot placement is give I've got the same inseam as you, even though I'm 6 foot. I really like the look of it in white as well!
I absolutely love the look of this bike. Very enjoyable upload as always 👍🏻
OMG, Finally someone close to me height. Your one of the best RUclips vlogers. I will be your subscriber for life. Thank You and Bless You. I’m from NYC in the USA.
Congrats on the first in depth review of the Trident on RUclips! Excellent video as always 🤙🏼
It does look like a very neat package, sounds so good.
When I was growing up, a Z1 with 80bhp was the ‘King’........times change 😉
Thanks for posting 👍
Yup, I still have my Z1 had it 38 years !........upgraded to a Ducati for a honest 95bhp, and if I want to “willie wave” I take the BSA Bantam !
Great review Kate. Good to see you
Out on two wheels again!
Always a pleasure watching your videos, Kate. Greetings from Germany
Great review as always, Kate! 👍 Best in class for the money? Triumph has been doing it right in recent years. 👏
👨👩👧❤
Delighted to see you back on a triumph Kate 🤙 just bought a street triple 675 absolutely love it happy days 😎
Another great vid Kate and well done for only riding to and from work during lockdown respect 👍👍
Enjoyed the review, new cameras/mounts make a world of difference.
Hi Kate, great looking bike and good vid and content and the view from the 360 camera was good and is anew one for you and look forward to the next vid
Excellent review Kate, like button smashed as always 🙂👋👍
Nice review Kate, covering all the essential points for ownership consideration. I think Triumph are on to a winner with the Trident.
Nice review Kate. I was quite convinced on the MT07, but i reckon i'll give this a look in now. Love the sound of it. Like the upright riding position too. My mate gets neck ache on long rides with his MT07 (2018).
I have a 765rs too which I love, but as an entry level or commuter bike sounds great, good review thanks Kate.
Makers should definitely drop more of these bikes off for you. You are a great reviewer. Your S1000RR review is one of the best out there. You have become one of my goto channels
Lovely looking bike in white especially, seems ideal for the new or returning rider or for someone who does a lot of commuting on busy roads. Nice review Kate many thanks.
Thanks for the review .. I’ll be getting one as soon as I get back to Thailand..it looks fantastic but was sold on it’s thinness .. perfect for lane filtering in busy-slow Thailand traffic!
Good review Kate, really like the bike in white. Subscribed
Love this bike. 👌 Great review Kate. thankyou
Thank you so much, you answered all my questions regarding the seat height. Sounds good and I intend to buy one this year...
Finally, a review on roads I'm familiar with! :D Some good riding around there and not too far away from the Cat and Fiddle!
Great review Kate,bike looks fantastic in white,triumph are definitely onto a winner with this bike.
Thank you, love the video, thinking of the white one as well! Very informative.
I’ve really been considering this as my first bike but I’ve got a few others I’m considering as well. I’ve made excuses for other bikes considering I’m only 5’7 and about 140 lbs. but after watching u handle this bike I have no excuse. Definitely subscribing to see how you handle other bikes. Hopefully this gives me the push I need
It really is a beautiful bike. I have been looking for a long time at a Royal Enfield Continental GT or the revised Moto Guzzi V7. My first bike was a standard Kawasaki 750 back in the day. That bike could do everything. This new 660 seems so capable for a short trip across town or for going on a tour for the weekend. I know the boys at TEC are already looking seriously at the things they can do for this motorcycle. So I'm keen to see what type of touring accessories will be available in the near future. I'm not really an adventure bike rider and not really a hyper bike rider. I just really want a good standard motorcycle that can do everything like that Kawasaki of mine used to do. I think Triumph has nailed it with this bike. By the way, great review. I am now a subscriber. 😊😊😊🌹🌹🌹
Its a smart looking little bike, I like the fact they have gone for the Triple Engine instead of the Parallel Twins as used in the T120 etc. (Nothing wrong with the Twin Engines by the way)
Also coming on Michelin Road 5's from the Factory is a Winner, Superb Tyres in my opinion.
I know that the Bike isn't really aimed at the Performance/Sports sector but a lot of fun can be had on a Middleweight, Lower Powered Bike and as you said it will be a user friendly Bike for someone wanting to return to Riding after a long Break.
Great Review :)
Thanks Simon :)
Stunner of a bike. You ride well shows how much this bike can pull and sound like. Bar end mirrors and very nice exhaust with a nice tail tidy will make this bike even more nicer looking .. great retro styled bike prefer it grey . Great video
Nice review, Kate! Glad they had a white one for you. Looks sharp!
Thanks, definatly a really great review. I'm getting a white one too, glad you like it.
Thank you for always showing how you relate to the seat height by sitting on the bike. As a 30 inch 'inseamer' it's an important stat. Many thanks. Great videos by the way. 👍👍
I’m exactly the same hight and have the same inseem. So this vide is really best one i found on RUclips.
Thanks a lot for the great work. I’m just hoping for side panniers to be available soon.
I am thinking between this Triumph or the Honda CB 650R which has a beautiful engine sound.
Cheers !
Very good & honest review Kate. Triumph have designed a really nice bike with the Trident. Hopefully your lockdown will ease sooner rather than later. Luckily here in Australia we seemingly have a good handle on the situation. Stay safe & cheers from “Down Under”! 👏🏼👍🏼😎🇦🇺
Hi Kate, thanks for your video, it looks like new camera, so cool. Mark
Thank you for posting. Good to see you ride without having to avoid bike stealers.
I used to go to the test centre behind you on your opening shot when I was a driving instructor., brings shivers down my spine. :)
Another no bull review. Bang on Kate👍🏼
Triumph have nailed it. Great vid.
Thanks for the review I am between this & the one you own not the rs but the r version. Awesome Reviews thanks 🙏🏻
Great review, thank you. 👍🏻
Agree with you on the white. First bike I thought as competitor was the SV650. Spot on there. Looks like it might be great for that everyday relaxed ride.
Thank you. Please keep mentioning about ease of using bike with 5'4 height in future videos too ❤️
I have watched every review of this bike. You are the first person to actually review the bike and not just read the ad copy. THANK YOU!.
TMF nailed it also.
TMF nailed it also.
Good review Kate , I think all triumph bikes are very easy to ride , that should be there USP as well as looks and styling 👍
It's the nicest retro triumph that they have made still got the triple whistle great vlog might demo one when lock down is over but il be demo bmw first lol
First video of yours I've ever seen and you are now my new way of seeing if I can fit on a bike as we have the same measurements. Thank you 😂 Subscribed!
🤣🤣🤣 glad I can be of use haha
Following since we're (sadly) of the same height! I'll definitely use your bike reviews for future bike decisions!
Excellent job. Nice to see your development into a seriously good motorbike RUclipsr over the years....
Thanks Bergs! Means a lot!
Very nice overview. I don't know that I'd say it's as an entry level bike but more so an every day rider. For a suburban rider this is perfect. I loved my Speed Triple until I was habitually lifting the front wheel and driving 20 MPH over the speed limit. Having a welterweight triple is what fits my daily ride.
It’s really nice to see doing the review, it would be great if we get a mix group rides in summer to a meeting location
I really can’t wait to get mine. Thanks for your feedback video.
Loving the new 360 camera angle footage kate...
I liked all the reviews and decided to trade in my MT 07. Can’t wait for delivery
Love this bike not sure I could justify one tho as I own a street scrambler. Great vlog 👍
great review, was thinking of getting something like this to have to compliment the GS....been lookin' at the kawi Z650, and the street triple low, I'm vertically challenged lol" big difference in quid....but now I'm going to have to take a look at this.....oh, by the way, the new camera you have mounted on the bars is great, crystal clear! cheers!
Finally, one with a white finish. Great job!
Good first look video Kate.
Great review . It's a good looking machine .
Great review...a great option for those that don’t want to go down the bone vile route.
WooooW, jak zawsze super! Super Blondi 🙂🤓
Great review Kate. Wish I could get down to the bloody pub to do some Willy waving! 😂👍
All good and iced up here in Vermont, good day for sliding down the hayfield on a Flexible Flyer, and puffing back up, then down again, back on bike come May. Till then, love watching you ride, listening to your voice. 3 cups of coffee, so you get a thumbs up :D BTW, if you could toddle on down to Norton Motorcycle Co. this summer, I bet they would let you review all their new bikes.
Great video Kate, Great to see you Roding again 👍👍,very informative, what a lovely looking 🏍 Kate what camera have you got on the handlebars..?? I'd like yo get one..
Tk care keep safe and Healthy
I had to subscribe. This is a great review. I actually know the bike now without riding it. 👍 80hp is also for honest, experienced riders who know that if you know how to ride..it is plenty for the road.
Oh, you don't bore anyone.
Hey Kate. Thanks for the review. At the beginning of the review you pushed the bike around a little which most other reviewers don’t. I think it is important to show and talk about how easy or difficult it is to move around with no power. Not all of us can flat foot and move the bike easily.
Great review thank you!
Never seen your channel before, happened on it by accident.
Good grass roots, real world review Kate
Thanks Dave 😊
Looks a nice bike Kate, looking to get my hands on one soon. 👍
Ha,,, loved the quick filter to the front at the lights! That's how to do it!
Such a great review!
Thank you Rajath 😊
Excellent review, you've just got another subscriber
:0)
The bike looks so good, and at that price ots an absolute bargain for a bit of prestige name branding. I would think it'd be a little short for me but I'm sure they'll bring out a higher seat option like so many manufacturers do
Great video Kate, top review as usual ❤👍
With all their other bikes slowly growing in displacement, I'm glad they didn't waste much time in filling the 600-700cc space.
Agreed. Not everyone needs a 1000 or a super sport. I love these size bikes.
nice bike i like it ide like one as a 2nd bike great vid kate as always
Good video, one of the better reviews so far.
No body has revealed the mpg for this bike would be nice rather than 0-60 for once. I have bought the Honda 650, since triumph moved production to Thailand I don’t see the need for brand loyalty anymore, just best bike for your bucks. Once again great vid.🙌👍
Rocket man in Portugal has bought one and reports 56 mpg / 5.8 litres per 100km
Wow i am impressed with the bike , looked like it rides nice down the east lancs . I am looking at the new speed triple and i will ve going to youles at blackburn also .
Love the look of this bike!
Great review with this bike Kate, I’m always alittle concerned with Triumph reviews in the UK because you wonder if the reviewer has a bias towards them and just tells you it’s magic, yours was very honest though. It’s not my preferred style of bike tbh but I think it would be a great commuter and daily rider.
Theyve nailed it with this bike, going to sell loads.
Awesome video Kate
Love the review and great to see the Insta360 X2 on the bars! Lovely views from it
Thanks Chopsy! Now I've just gotta get my head around the editing!! Think i'm gonna have to move to a desktop from my phone 📱😬
@@UsernameKate yeah the desktop software is actually very good. Latest version just released can track you and rendering time been improved too! I've actually never used the phone software as my old phone couldn't run it. New one can now so will have a play 👍
Nice review Kate I personally think triumph are on to a winner with this bike good for commuting with a 10k service interval and appeals to new riders as well
10K or once a year so for many no advantage whatsoever
Wow the exhaust sound is verygood
Great review lass , changed the way you do your vids , blogs a bit , its good , like it .
As for the bike like you say realy great first big bike for any one
I did same got a sv650 as my borne again bike after i relearnt how to ride got a R1 and you know what .....you dont realy need 150+hp ....only love the old R1 coz u find it easy to ride , relaxing in a way , only needs 3rd gear
Lol
Keep your vids up and you lot , teapot,flyer,richy ect need your own full on tv show
Enjoyed your review. Love the tripple engine. I think 80bhp would be enough for a lot of people ( me included ). It's all about being able to use the power available. Less is more, so to speak.
Great video, I agree it’s in the first big bike category. (Number plate looks like an after thought)
Nice. Thinking of this one for first decent bike... thanks :)
Great review Kate, I like that you mention your inseam measurement as that's more important than height. I'm 5'9" with a 27" inseam so I struggle even getting on a lot of modern bikes that seem to have got taller than bikes of my youth. Thanks for that as it's a big help when considering a bike and there mu0cd66be451st be plenty of short legged riders out there. 👍
It looked a bit tall for her TBO, I’ve got a 27” inside leg and my Triumph Street Twin is ideal for me as it’s got a really low seat height. Even I can put both feet down, I’d wouldn’t contemplate owning a bike where I couldn’t. Best regards.
the video quality/ production has improved no-end. Not everyone wants a big 1000/1200cc bike, (although the UK market seems to dictate that in particular UK buyers like the the big sports/adventure bikes) - middleweight is about where it is at for me. Good review as always
A great level of technical information. Sufficient to give potential buyers a real feel for the bike
Thanks Nigel! Always appreciate you're comments, you're an OG 👍
