Your reviews are done so well! Very methodical, making sure you touch on all the key points. Excellent! Thank you
My pleasure
Finally started my motorbike training, just getting ready for CBT before DAS, your videos have really changed my view on certain bikes, helped me understand certain stuff when riding and I now look for specific things so thank you Mark 👌
My pleasure Rob good luck with your training
Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 Thank you bud! Appreciate that. :)
P.S. the new intro is a major improvement, Mark - very professional! 👏
Thanks Hugh ...just thought I'd give it a go and see what people think 🤔 :)
Thanks for a great comprehensive review Mark. That triple motor sounds lovely when giving it stick!
Thanks Peter 😁
Actually headed to the dealership this coming week specifically to have a ride on this. Size wise and comfort it’s in that Goldilocks zone for me and after several years of waffling between too many new bikes this is now edging into my top five. This particular style of bike is where I have spent 80% of my riding career on so I expect a familiar friend aspect and I’ve always had a soft spot for Brit bikes a 650 Commando resides here now but has the associated era issues which I’m growing tired of fiddling with so it spends a lot of time looking nice but ready to run
Excellent review 👏 👌
Loved the focus on the road while talking for us. 11:36 preparing for the car if it had pulled in.
Hi many thanks 🙏
Another excellent review. Triumph appears to be a legitimate player in the middleweight class; pretty impressive running gear at that price point. Now for a 660 adventure version with 21/18" wheels and proper off-road setup.
Thanks Paul
I just KNEW he’d cave with the intro music eventually 😂😅…. Oh well;)…. Good review, as always!
Haha thanks Mark ☺️
What an amazing bike! Great review as always, and now you got me to have this one on my mind!
Thanks John ...tough decisions eh :)
l've just been using the Trident for a couple of days, whilst my Street Triple 675 r was being serviced. l found this bike very nimble on twisty roads, no effort to flick from one side to other. Always felt sure footed. A very pleasant motorcycle to ride... You've mentioned most of the salient points. l found the fly by wire throttle a bit lagging, especially at lower speeds...it didn't have the same snap that my cable controlled throttle Street Triple has, plus the Striples brakes are far more powerful, but then the front are four piston either side...As you said, for a newbe looking to move up this is a great bike...easy to ride and live with...
Brilliant review Mark as usual
This sector of motorcycle is real world riding to me also the Aprilia the Honda seem to be up there . Super new intro👍
Thanks Paul ....glad you like the intro might do it more often !!
Great review Mark , like the style of your reviewing very informative would love to see a review on an mv agusta 800rr dragster 👍
Really like the new intro and slo mo on the details. Great video as always.
Lovely bike but I will never like the extended numberplate/mudguard holder.
Thanks for the feedback ... thought I'd give a try to a different into !
Cheers mark
Another nice review Mark, and I like the bike. 10,000 mile service is a red herring as its still annually and very few riders will do 10k per Yr on these.
Thanks graham good point
The 3 cylinder engine has a lovely characteristic sound. Great review Mark thanks.
Ok Gary cheers 😃
Hi Mark, good review. I've had the Trident for a week in the Paris area after a series of other bikes ranging from a GS1250r to a Tuono 660. I can quite honestly say for the moment that it's by far the nicest bike to ride I've owned. Everything works beautifully and the engine sound is great. Easy to filter through thick traffic, leans through bends very naturally, and the tires warm up instantly. Breaks are great, the chassis is amazing, power is fine in the real world but still running it in unfortunately. So I would recommend people to put their "for new riders" or "bottom of the range" prejuices on hold, and go and test ride one.
Thanks Tony sounds great 😄
Out of interest did you have any problems with the tuono 660 ?
@@markpulling12 It wasn't part of the series that was recalled. But it did make some strange grinding noises, and worked better after the first service. Otherwise it was a really nice bike. The new factory version looks even more polished.
Nice review as always Mark. That is a nice bike. Nice that triumph have a entry level triple bike. 👍🏻
Thanks Dan
I think you rode the best looking one. My eyes were drawn to the very cheap looking rear shock and the shocking looking brake pedal. I'm sure it's a very good bike. But, I'd go for the Speed Twin if I had a choice of the range, currently. Great job with the dash.
Nice review. I've had mine since March, over 2500 miles covered. Really happy overall. I find the gearbox pretty clunky in the first 3 gears, up or down. I had a warranty issue with the rear light which took a few weeks to resolve, but that was more a dealer problem than the bike itself. It's my first big bike and if I was picking my first bike again it would definitely be in my shortlist. Average of 55mpg, mixture of town riding, and b-roads. 80hp is more than enough power and the handling is great.
Thanks for the feedback Colin ☺️
You should not live with clunky gear, premium bike and defective clutch is unacceptable, am taking my trident to dealership workshop next week and setting expectation to make it smooth as 4 to 6 or replace clutch assembly
@@SuperRider-RS It`s normal with gearbox most bikes do this.
@@jonomasonILoveU I have come to accept that, which is why quickshifter is the best experience for gear shift
@@SuperRider-RS Agree, and wish all bikes were equipped with such tech.
Mark, ordered mine today by phone. Did a test drive two weeks ago and liked it. Tomorrow I am going to sign the order, after 47 years of Yamaha this is going to be the first big bike of another brand. I wanted one like you tested but have to wait to long so I will take the other black one with the big logo. So that will make the tenth bike in my collection.
Sounds great jay ...nice collection ...never have too many bikes ! Cheers
@@markpulling12 Mark howmany bikes do you have ? I have seven Yamaha FRZ 1000 Exup, one FZ1 Fazer and one Mash Falcone 125cc and now the Trident is coming. My sister drives one of the FZR.
@@markpulling12 Oh forgot I bought the Mash for a different way of driving and for my godchild Carolynne who wants to drive a motorbike as well. 🤣
Great review mark,and a affordable bike for new riders,and of course the gorgeous triple engine.
Cheers james
Hi Mark another Honest Indepth Bike Review 🏍 This seems a lovely Bike, especially for the money. Keep up the Great videos 📹 👍 👏 👌
Thanks David ...quite a few new bikes coming out in November 😌
Such a great bike. It's a dream come true for a new rider to have options like this. 💖💖👏🏼👏🏼
Cheers Roy
Brilliant review. Triumph bike are great. I think I'm going to add one to my collection. Thanks for this information packed review. Cheers
Glad it was helpful!
I recently purchased a Street Triple 765RS, but I have to admit, I find the appearance of the Trident 660 compelling. Just a neat looking, tidy, compact and stylish ride.
Another excellent review, Mark. The only area you didn't cover was to do with how the suspension copes with bad surfaces. I would like to know about reliability which, of course, is something you can't comment on. Great value, well-finished bike.
Thanks nik the suspension felt good considering this is a "budget " bike 👍
@@markpulling12 Yes, it would probably be stretched on some of the roads in Thailand. Or in London, for that matter.
Fantastic review of triumph trident mark like love you're videos top marks👍😀
Thanks very much Andrew 😊
Nice intro Mark. The trident is a lovely bike. But in a crowded
and competitive market.
Thanks Louis .....yes so many to choose from :)
I am looking at this bike in the states.Great review on it!
Thanks Blake :)
I really like this bike. Great video and review Mark 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Luke 🙏
I was literally looking for a video on the Trident on your channel yesterday 😂
Haha yes I remember !
That's what got me to get on and try one lol
Just watched this again, Mark. Superb bike. I love the triple engine. Nick
Hi nick yes these triple engines are superb ...I've got a speed triple 1050 rs now it's awesome 👍 cheers mark
@@markpulling12 Yours or a test bike?
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o all mine nick :)
Mark as usual superb honest review, I wish this bike were three years older then I would have struggled choosing between this and my current CB650 - Thanks
Thanks mark my pleasure
Great bike the trident 🔱
Lovely bike great review as always Mark
Hi Mark. I've had mine for just over 2 years now and I'm really beginning to gel with it. It's got the quick shift option which I found could be a bit crashy and clunky at times, but it's now becoming silky smooth as the miles increase. Apparently these have quite a big chain slack (40-50mm) by design which doesn't help. Plenty of power and when you give it the beans it sounds superb! Sadly, I dropped it whilst doing a slow U turn and bent the brake lever but it bent back out ok.
Many thanks for the comment Paul glad it's going well 😊
Brilliant review Mark 👍🏻
My pleasure thanks 😊
It's a cool and stylish bike. However, I'll stick with my 2020 Z650 and trade it in for a Street Triple next year. Thanks for your brilliant review, Mark.
Thanks Robert ...yes love the street triples !
Very thorough & enjoyable review, Mark, not your usual route..? Triumph certainly know how to make a bike handle, but my concern is the effectiveness of the front (very short) & rear (fugly) mudguards. I am very slowly coming round to the look of the rear hanger assembly, but I wonder if the 660 Tiger Sport rear mudguard would fit?
Thanks Hugh ...yes I noted the short mudguard ...a bit small !
Cheers mark
Great review as usual Mark!
Thanks Steve
Your reviews are always reliable. Hope you can do one for the Voge 500AC as well. Ride safe!
Hi funny you should say that....moto gb are now the importers and may well be getting them at my local dealer cheers mark
@@markpulling12 That's great news! Reviews about that bike is scarce despite it being released for a while now, so I hope you can do a test ride on it someday. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers
I would still choose the Honda CB650R over the Triumph. More power, nicer dash and the Honda build, reliability wins it for me. I owned a street 675R and reliability and build quality let it down. It was a breeze to ride & the triple sound were the positives. Great review as per normal Mark.
Thanks Pietro ...I'm kind of torn between all of them ...the fun of the mt07 .. the Honda build quality ...hmmmm decisions
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 Indeed, spoilt for choice we are ! ;)
agreed!
I took the trident out when my street twin was being serviced, it’s great bike although some of the components like the rear brake lever look a little budget otherwise its excellent.
Thanks Ian 😁
I love your videos. I’m about your height so it really helps to see how you look sitting on each bike. Does this one have a centre stand? I’ve a Honda Rebel 500 at the moment as I’ve recently passed my test. I love it but I think the next bike will be the triumph street scrambler 900 which I know you’ve tested.
Hi Luke no it doesn't have a centre stand ...alot of bikes sadly don't these days
Great choice with the 900 though
Best wishes mark
Again another fantastic video, great camera work. I could almost touch that bike. Been dying for this video on the Trident and you picked my favourite colour. Well done Mark. What's this compared to the Honda CB650R.
Hi Jimmy ...engine makes a great sound . Handling is about on par ...brakes are better ...I'd say the Honda is better build quality
Cheers mark
Now that is a great looking bike !
nice video matey, enjoyed it
Thanks dave
Great review mate 🇦🇺🥇❤️💪🏼
Many thanks
Good review again Mark
Thanks David 😊
Hi Mark love your your reviews, I would like to hear your take on the aprilia rs 660 thanks.
Thanks mark I'll see if I can get hold of one :)
Thanks Mark👍🏻
Thanks my pleasure :)
The bike looks amazing
Thanks Steven sounds great 👍
Stage 1 and it’s awesome I think 😁
Do you get the suzuki sv650 in the UK? It would be great if you could get your hands on one..
They are still for sale but haven't really changed in years. Should be lots of reviews out there of them. The sv650 is well overdue a complete redesign. There have been plans leaked on a new version but no sign of any production model yet.
A nice first big bike, or for the older gentleman trading down. I'd go for a triple over a parallel twin any day, so this over an MT07. However, my money would go on a CB650R - cheaper, smooth 4 cylinder, more power and Honda reliability. Not something that interests me though, as a fellow ZX6R owner 😀
Yes ...the cb650 did it for me too :)
We have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to modern scoots. That retro Kawie in the Candy Emerald Green is a looker.
Great review as always. But being a certified old fart, I am anxiously awaiting your review of the new Kawasaki Z650RS.
Thanks Chris yes will definitely be reviewing the z650rs in Nov/Dec when it arrives in the uk cheers mark
I have to decide between the trident and the Guzzi V7 stone.
It s my first bike, what do you recommend?
Though choice both are great but i think you'd find the engine on the trident 🔱 a bit easier as a beginner...the guzzi is more torque
Cheers mark
So - should I be trading in my 2017 SV650 for one of these? Slightly boring styling but buttery smooth gearbox, pleasant V-Twin and similar performance vs shiny new bike?
Yes ....go on treat yourself !!
Hi Mark, that’s a lovely looking bike, bit cramped for me though I think. I’m 6ft 2” and weigh about 120 kg, I might break it lol.
Thanks Craig 😊 lol
Hi mark would this or 2020 street triple r be the best bike for a returning rider thanks in advance
Hi the trident 🔱 is a good bike ...but the street triple r is amazing....I'd go for that one 😁
Best wishes mark
Great review! How good will a quick shifter addition be?
hi rohit.....i would say a QS will be brilliant on this bike ...as the engine is awesome :)
@@markpulling12 Thanks! Waiting for my bike to come in 2 weeks.
Hi folks, I haven't researched this beautiful scoot, does she have cruise control? I'm starting to see it standard on a few bikes. I had a throttlemeister on my ninja 500, so I could get the numbies out of my throttle hand. worked okay. TIA, greetings from Birmingham (Alabama) Roll Tide y'all! edit: Neptune's Middle Fin, I LOVE Triples, my first love was a Kawie S3-400 *sigh*
Hi Rob no sadly not ...check out the Yamaha mt09sp or the street triple RS they have cruise
Regards mark
An S3, such a good looking bike with an amazing sound, even on tick over, that engine burble, a bike that sounded amazing. A bike that you look back at when you've parked it and thought wow.
Can you do the new Yamaha R7 when it comes out?
Definitely Ryan it's 100% on the list
Thanks Mark... new intro!
I'm interested in your impressions between this and the 2021 Yamaha MT07. My gut says that this Trident might just edge out the MT07 performance wise. But the MT07 gets better fuel milage and is a slightly better value.
I might just go for this Trident rather than the MT07. You gotta love that triple sound and it is really quick for a 650 with really remarkable stopping power.
What about the ride quality and chassis feedback between these two. How would you rate them?
Gord
Hi Gord ....I'd say the forks on the trident are a bit better (showa) ..ride quality about the same ....the mt07 felt a little smaller and lighter to me .. performance wise the 🔱 just edges it ....but both are brilliant fun ...It would take me ages to choose between them !
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 Interesting. Thanks for that, Mark. That's what I was wondering.
Gord
I suggest you do a test ride on both performance wise Mt and trident are two different animals, MT has way more torque.
Hi Mark have you ridden the Tiger Sport 660?
Hi Karl no not yet...must try that one ,:)...I've heard very good things about it best wishes mark
Mark,review of the street triple r?
Yes must try and get a ride on one of those ...I've ridden the older models they are brilliant:)
Hey Mark I was riding a speed triple before so I like my Triumph's . I'm dropping down because I don't need anything big . Just something fun and also for a bit of commuting . I've narrowed it down to Yamaha XJR700 or Triumph Trident . What would be your recommendation. Thanks
Hi if you mean the xsr Yamaha...I actually prefer that to the trident 🔱
I just prefer the feel of the Yamahas 270 crank engine...but the triumph is still a grand bike ....I used to own the tiger 800 and a trophy 1200
Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 sorry yes I meant the XSR . Thanks buddy 👍
@Mark Pulling
Hey mate in the end I've gone for the mt-07 . Cost of bike, cost of servicing and I was so impressed with the mt engine . Seat is comfy, torque is what I'm looking for . Hasn't quite got the looks but I'm coming around more and more . I just want a bike that's light and fun .
@@Sparkydr07 yes best choice really... can't go wrong with the mt07 that engine is a gem
Cheers mark
@Mark Pulling it is mate, thanks for your input previously. And glad I found your channel. Always good to watch reviews on bikes . Thanks again buddy 👍
Hi mark what would you choose between trident v z650 thanks .
Hi Shaun ....easy ...the trident 🔱
Engine is nicer 😉
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 thank for your reply, got mod 2 next week maybe wait for the tiger 660 choices choices 🤷
@@shaunbills5318 yes that tiger 660 looks nice 🙂
I am interested to see what the Tiger 660 sport will be like based on this platform
Yes ian ...I like the look of that :)
@@markpulling12 Let me know if you get hold of one and maybe we could do a joint review. I have a Tiger 800 and would be interested in a more manageable version.
How would this fit 5ft 11" tall?
Hi yes you would fit fine ...it's a decent sized bike cheers mark
Do you think this is a better option than a SV650?
Hi Colin yes I say all things considered id go for the triumph the 3 cylinder engine is fantastic...go for a 765 s or R even better 😁
Cheers mark
I like that little bike , if I wasn't getting a Speed Twin I'd check it out.
A 125 is a little bike
Yep, the new Speed Twin is what I'm after as well. My problem with so many of these small, light, quick "runabouts" is the styling: nothing differentiated; nothing unique or interesting. I had a Triumph Trophy SE, which was a GREAT sport-touring machine. Unfortunately, with the indifferent styling, nobody ever knew what it was.
@@skillsonian who cares what other people think. Ride what YOU like, not what you think others will.
@@Wayneebrum I guess I should have explained further (did not expect such quick jumping-to-conclusions). The problem with bland styling is that the bike does not develop a following. Without strong demand, then, the manufacturer discontinues production of the model. Without a lot of bikes out there, service becomes more difficult, and accessories and aftermarket parts become scarce. Hell, the whole sport-touring category has essentially disappeared, replaced by adventure-touring. Indifferent styling, I feel, is a major reason for the disappearance of the category.
Is this more fun than mt-07? Similar money here.
Hi ...I'd say it's the same fun ...the mt07 is the benchmark fun light good value middleweight
Regards mark
has TC over MT-07 so on safety + being triple cylinder yes!!
Hi Mark, Are you planning to review the Tiger 660?
Hi Pete would love to but triumphs are tricky for me to review as in they won't let me have one just to review....I could just blag it and get a test ride though:)
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 They are proving very popular, with waiting lists for next spring.
Should I choose this over cb650?
Hi ...it's very good but personally I preferred the cb650 inline 4 engine
Best wishes mark
Hey Mark, from a comfort point of view, for a 1.84 cm guy 110 kg, which one would you suggest to somebody between the Trident and a CB650R ?
Thanks for the great videos !
Hi from memory they are both similar in the comfort stakes... compliant suspension not too harsh
Both great bikes similar power inline. 4 vs triple
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 Thanks !
BMW R nineT range urban GS would be nice
Thanks for the comment andy
I think you should sell some T-shirts that say:
" What all the fuss is about :)"
Can u modify for off road?
I'd say not really....you could put semi off road tyres on it to do very light gravel tracks cheers mark
What happened to your usual intro? Is this video an indication of how your vids will be in future? Prefer them with your intro as I like seeing some of the many bikes you've test ridden or owned. Is this bike a poor man's Street Triple? Triumph to seem to have an awful lot of overlapping models to me. Tbh I'd take the Honda CB650R that you recently rode and reviewed and I'm a Triumph fan.
Hi Alex ...yes don't worry the old intro will be back ....I'm just having a play
I suppose you could call this a poor man's ST ...it felt great but the Honda felt bit better quality :)
Cheers mark
This bike is half done! No back? Maybe you lost it on the way? The sound is also simple Hoda BC 500? What is pleasant about this? At least it would have a windshield, hand guard, roll bar, if it had already become a hedge trimmer. OK! I'm just sorry, because the only Triumph dealership in Hungary closed and because of that I couldn't get the Tiger. I'll have to make do with the Tenere instead.
Can you pease compare to triumph street twin
Hi I have a review on my channel of the street twin :)
It's a more relaxed cruiser than the trident 🔱
Regards mark
Can only find the speed twin and scrambler
Sorry my bad I thought the scrambler was the street twin ...so no I haven't ridden it
Seat height???
See full info at 2:10
Best wishes mark
Hi , Trident or Z900 pl suggest
Hi I'd go for the z900 or even the z800 is very good :)
Thanks mark ,going for Z 900 👍
@@yogeshgode6434 the trident Is good but think you'll enjoy the z900 more :)
Thanks Mark for the Suggestion 👍
Weight???
See review at the beginning:)
Not such lightweight when you consider a BMW S1000RR M SPORT weighs 193kg.
The price hardly matters the cb650r is only £4 more and the idea that a £100 either way when you are talking over £7000 is ridiculous
To me, the name just makes me think of chewing gum as there’s also a gum brand called Trident!
Haha 😂
100bhp would have being perfect.
Thanks Robert like the original street triples ...I wonder if these can easily be mapped to 100 hp ?
@@markpulling12 now that would be interesting👍
When I see this bike pass by in real life I think it looks like a 125 🤨
Haha 😂 lol
I mean the 125 duke looks like a 1200 super duke anything can look like anything
I wish they'd stop putting the Union Jack on the logo - surely it should be whatever the Thailand flag is?
Yes I agree 😊
I personally would just take it off its only vinyl
Built to budget on Thailand with a logo with ques taken from the British Flag. Well done Triumph you must be so proud of this cheap crap you are churning out now.
I would partially agree with you, because of poor QC and yes it is budget motorcycle...can't deny it
The Japanese brands have factories is various countries around the world too. I don't know where my hondas were built, but the 900 hornet was substantially better quality the cbf1000. Bmw use Chinese engines.
Would a UK made trident be better quality? I doubt it. It'd have to be more expensive to cover the higher factory costs as well.
@@mickleblade of course the Japanese manufacturers build in other parts of the world and of course the trident wouldn't be a better quality if it was built in the UK. Your comment misses the point. All the other motorcycle manufacturers retain mass production in their country of origin. Triumph on the other hand shit on British workers yet still retained a nod to the national flag in their logo. To say they are a fucking disgrace and lower than a snakes belly would be an understatement. And I own a Triumph that was built in the UK but I won't buy another on principal
@@pggp273 oh dear, lol. So what do you think of bmw sticking union jacks on top of minis? Amusingly quite popular in France, along with matching t shirts /phone covers et
Got to agree with@PG GP on this, Triumph want to sell their products as British and use the British heritage associated with the brand to sell bikes but use cheeper manufacturing options abroad. @Micleblade at least the Mini is made over here as are Indian owned Norton and the new soon to go into production BSA 650s. Im currently in the market for a middleweight naked sports bike and a Street Triple would have fit the bill perfect but I won't even go for a test ride on one. I will only consider the Kawasaki z900 and Yamaha MT09. BMW do exacly the same and use Chinese production while passing it off as German products and I wouldn't buy one of them either but also they have far too many reliability issues for me anyway. I very much doubt that very many people will have the principals to be at all bothered by any of this though.
Great review Mark. This looks like a nice upgrade from my Hunter 350
