2500 Miles on my Triumph Trident 660 - Honest Long-Term Review!

I've ridden my triumph trident 660 about 2500 miles the past couple years and have developed some very strong opinions about it. Lets go for a ride and discuss some of them.

I have owned sport bikes and this is the best bang for buck put there i have owned. It has many of the 675 characteristics in the twisties, and honestly is more fun because you can use 100% of the throttle 95% of the time on twisty rds. The 675 was faster but required way more care and that stops being fun. This bike is more fun than a sport bike just slower. It will run 12.1 in quarter mile or high 11s with perfect launch but that is not the purpose of the bike. This is a bike you can drive like an idiot and not have to worry as much about dying!

Started on an MT07 and the most decisive things were price, ease of service, as any mechanic and their dog can fix a Yamaha and the fact that this was still a very new model at the time, which comes with teething problems.

Tuneecu will reset the service clock. Just using the app wont hurt the bike, maybe remapping might. You can set service, test fan , test prime, monitor throttle bodies. Its pretty cool.

Great bike I ride mine every day to work…. Only complaint sometimes it givesme a hard time to go into 1st or neutral…

I love that laggy throttle. So easy to start and perfect for euro city riding.

Flash the ecu and get rid of the lag in the throttle. BT Moto handheld tuner look them up they are pricey but we'll worth the tune. It literally makes the tt660cc a different motorcycle

What would be your opinion , if i am thinking of it as my 1st bike basically for city ride but i want that feel of a sportsbike plus rare overspeeding with a decent mileage

[@ikerzzzzz]

If you are considering as a daily rider, I would recommend something a little bigger with more room and comfort. As a first bike I wouldn't recommend it either just because it's a bit of power and it's a tad on the pricey side of you lay it down or anything like that. Now ultimately that's up to YOU and what you know you can handle. Some people are more responsible than others. Most guys under 35 I'd probably recommend a 400 or something like that. There is plenty of awesome beginner sport bikes out there as well. I hope I gave you somewhat of an answer.

2500 miles is not any kind of long term...
