I test rode this bike for about 45 minutes two or three weeks ago. 80hp is great amount of power for two wheels, but I wasn't expecting much. The moment I swung my legs across this bike, I fell in love. I fell in love harder when the I twisted the throttle and heard the roar of this motorcycle. Wow! Refinement was also lovely. Just before riding the Trident though, I had ridden the Z900 and even though the Z is more desirable, the Trident js more practical choice. I currently ride a Honda CB350 Highness which has one cylinder and generates 21hp, so it was quite thrilling to get a feel of a big bike❤

Good point about beginners being able to use the "rain mode" setting on the Trident. It reduces the power level and will allow someone to become familiar with riding and get the feel of this particular motorcycle. Beginners have enough to think about without needing to worry that they might accidentally accelerate too hard.

I like that feature. It enables for new riders to grow with the bike, rather than selling your 300cc. I for example don't want to keep on selling bike, since I'll probably financing the bike for 48 months.

The sultry sound of a triple paired with the fabled triumph smoothness is an unbeatable combo. Well done doodle.

I'm loving your reviews! Everybody can read specs about torque, seat height etc. but can't feel the bike reading those numbers, which you convey so lovely.

Truth!

The amount of information that you are providing is truly an inspiration and I hope that young riders can and will listen to learn from experience instead of getting something they end up under the two wheels. Thank you

Thank you, Doodle, for a very relaxing style of reviewing bikes. You've help me get to the emotional aspect of the bikes you review which is more important then the specs. At first I didn't like the look of this Triumph then it started to grow on me. Now it's on my short list. And it is a very short list (mostly Triumphs).

You put a smile on my face in that quick clip stroking the blue bike. I like your vids as you give an honest not OVER experienced view of the bikes .

Hey Doodle, That was the best descriptive review, I've seen so far on the Triumph Trident. You nailed it on information. Onya 🤙, Annie from Oz 🇦🇺

I like the fact that manufactures are actually making bikes that fit the real world once again. Smaller displacement, twin cylinders, and reasonably priced. I'm also a fan on the Standard style / Neo-Retro, Naked style bikes too.

Your videos are so fun! I like your sense of humor and your video editing style, i.e. leave everything in and correct it on-screen, or have all-knowing Future Doodle do it 😎😎😎 It’s really great and I look forward to your videos every week.

You make a great reviewer due to the way you expanded your knowledge via experience. Always good to watch and hear your take.

Just brought my Trident home here in Atlanta! It's my first bike and I'm your height with a shorter inseam. This video really helped me with my decision. Love it so much! Thanks!

Nice review, really like your format with Future Doodle correcting you lol. Have fun and be safe.

Hi Doodle; been waiting for this one 🏍🏍🏍. Awesome!

Hi Doodle, a good review with lots to take on board, with great input from Future Doodle.

Lol the dynamic you have with yourself. Love it :)

For me the Mt07 and the trident are the best beginner bike. It’s easy and nimble for new bikers. You will feel so comfortable and it’s not intimidating. Driven the 07 for about 18 thousand Kms and wanted to switch to the trident but changed my mind to something bigger. You cannot go wrong with either one of these bikes. The beat of the 07 or the triple of the trident is fantastic. Ride safe bikers and watch out for us car people. Thanks.

I had been toying with the idea of getting this bike as my first bike... and I pulled the trigger because of your review. No regrets so far! Thank you! :)

Doodle, Nice review of the Triumph Trident. I’m really loving all these various Motorcycle Reviews. Yes it’s pound feet of torque. See you on Tuesday’s Video. Have a great weekend.

Awesome!! I was just going to comment on your MT 07 video that I hope you do one on the Trident soon.

Thanks Doodle great review!

Great review. I want one!! It’s good to be Doodle these days. 😀

What ever bike fits you and feels right is the bike for you . Whatever size or make it doesn't matter.

That is one of the best looking bikes I have seen in awhile, good review Doodle! Captain my Captain!

Nice review. Just ordered one in Paris. I wish I had your roads and your weather! Ride safe!

i have the bike, i was looking at the 765 and due to pricing and apr, went with the trident instead.i am so happy i did, the bike is loads of fun and the fuel mileage is absurdly good. It is small so fits in my shed with no issue, and I have had it past a 45 degree lean angle without pegs hitting on street, so it definitely can tip over with the big boys. Because it only makes 80hp you can pin the throttle coming out of a turn without worrying too much about the back coming out, in other words you can really ride the bike aggressively even on the street. I felt i can get about 90% of the bikes full potential out of it on the street vs 70% from a dedicated sport bike. Being able to get 90% out just feels better when you turn off the ignition if we are being honest, and knowing your bike was 5,000usd less than a street triple is also nice! However the down side is it tops out at 133mph, and from say 100-133mph is way slower than a dedicated sport bike. The trident loves 0-90mph, anything above that it will do just not what it is good at. Another thing I am not a huge fan of is the sound, it is not bad but for me it sounds worst upgrading exhaust, it sounds like a civic not a bike. Stock exhaust are fine but again nothing grand about the exhaust note, nothing bad, just nothing special. It looks great from all sides until someone is riding it, in my opinion the back looks too much like a scooter if someone is on the bike.

Agree, the power delivery of Triumph is the pinnacle. Bought a 799 twin, will leave the brand unmentioned, and the rev range of the twin was so hard to get used to. With a triple I can accelerate through most corners but with the twin I hit the top of the rev range and was stuck there. Currently have a 1050 Speed RS and never plan to sell it. Enjoyed the review.

🤣 brilliant Doodle 👏👏👏👏👏 entertaining and factual. Your summary is spot on🤗 future Doodle is an excellent arrangement too. Hope you are enjoying your new job 😎👊

I love watching your reviews! But I love love motorcycles and people that like to ride as much as I do! Right now is the season for the baby deer to be everywhere. That means the mommas will be slow crossing the roads because their babies are slow. Be careful it’s a dangerous time for us right now! Hi Doodle! Everyone be safe!

Such a beautiful bike. Great review!

I enjoyed this review... the balanced humor and quirkiness made it interesting to watch. Plus... I'm also a Triumph fan, and I totally agree with your personal views about their bikes. Triumphs are just so easy to ride... even their Tigers. I just wonder though, which between the Trident and the Street Twin could be considered more as a beginner bike.

Hi Doodle, so I looked it up and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Standard J1349 Table 1 refers to torque as "lb-ft" or pounds feet. Thanks again for another entertaining and informative vid...!!

I've entertained the trident or the MT07 as a more commuter friendly ride over my GSXR. Good to see another rider's thoughts on them both. Keep it up

I am glad “Y’all” took Cody with you on this trip.

I had the same windscreen on my Street Triple that you do and removed it after a year. I think it’s better without. At highway speed I use my head to “split” the wind thereby lessening the buffeting. The windscreen just throws it right at my chest making it worse overall. I’m with you on the Triumphs - love ‘em, but my ‘12 Triple 675 is tough to beat. Someday I’ll get a new Triumph, but mine is perfect for me. And paid for!

Had the bike for 3 months now and 1100 miles. It just gets better!

Love it! Triumph really nailed it with this bike 👍

I own a harley and always wanted a lighter bike with a short wheelbase. I don't know about other bikes in this class but dam. when i squeeze the tank with my knees, i swear i could chase a mouse around a parking lot. ...which is amazing to me

This is so great after seeing this video i am confident about to buy this bike. many thanks

Thanks for the review. I love triumphs as well. I have the sprint st 955i. It is taller than my other bikes. Might have to give the trident serious consideration, especially with ride modes. I also like the fact that it's a triple.

After deciding between the MT-07 and this for my first bike, I came home saturday with a baja orange trident. So far am loving the bike, and Triumph of Roswell was very painless to work with in purchasing. Cant wait to get my 600 mile break in done!

Triumph definitely has some good bikes in their lineup, I think they get overlooked sometimes.

More Trident! More TRIDENT! MORE TRIDENT!! Great video, thanks for sharing. :)

The trident is my first bike and I put a Zard exhaust on it; I’m enjoying the heck out of it and it sounds awesome with Zard on it.

Thanks for the review.

Another great review!!

I enjoy your videos. When i decided to get a motorcycle, I looked for other women on youtube who ride motorcycles to get advice. I was a little shocked by how few there were, and by the differences from the other videos. I'm not dismissing videos by men, just that I appreciate the difference. Thank you for your content, I learned alot from you.

Awesome. I just ordered one, arriving hopefully in July. My last bike was a Ducati Monster 696, which was great height- and weight-wise. This is over an inch taller, which is worrisome, but I feel a bit better now.

I bought this bike 2+ weeks ago and I LOVE IT! I know I already commented this to you but UPDATE: STILL GREAT

You're a legend ;) Great job!

Nice! Looking forward to your overall comparison. I have an FZ07 and test drove a Trident to compare them myself.. my feeling was that the Trident was actually TOO smooth, it took away from the raw connection to the bike and road that you get from the Yamaha. So smooth that it felt almost like an automatic transmission that you pretended to shift yourself. Guess it comes down to preference, but both are great bikes

just bought this bike as my first big bike mostly because of your review. I'm a shortish guy so a lot of the bikes I tried didn't make me feel very confident so I got a Honda grom for my first bike. this bike is perfect to move up to for me especially because of the safety features and the rain mode so thanks for your review also shout out from another Georgia resident. I live in Columbus and bought mine from freewheeling powersports in Douglasville. side note I hate Atlanta traffic and cannot imagine how you comfortably ride in it.

Your Doodle nickname so funny .. iam always saying doodle or doodleing now that i found your channel i have a face to add lol

Brilliant. Great presentation

Just test drove a trident around Daytona. It’s a super fun, smooth bike that looks damn good 👍🏻

Nice video as always. And, your cheeks look cute when you have your helmet on 😂 I almost bought one but got the Street Twin instead.

Great review! I’d like to see a few morning fairing bikes. Maybe the Aprilia RS660?

Ur adorbs and this looks Awesome! (Although I think Im buyin a Street Twin next ) 🤘🏻😜

For anyone going WOW…for the price. Keep in mind that Triumph is one of the last to still charge for freight/setup. Tacks on another +$1000-1300. All of a sudden it’s a $10,000 bike not including tax and licensing.

Nice review. My daughter is looking at one of these to replace her CB300F she’s had for a couple years.

Doodle Great review! Future Doodle seemed pleased with you in this video! The Trident is a mixture of the Triumph Classics and the Triple series. In my opinion it would fall into the "Future Classic" line which may be why Future Doodle likes it so much. Bye the way... it's FT/LBS of torque or how many pounds of force at 1 foot from the center of the shaft. Great video Lady!!! 👍 Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady!

I ride an America but the Trident gets my interest as far as sporty bikes. Nice review thanks!

Great review , very interesting and helpful Did you feel any vibrations on your ride ?

Triumph makes beautiful machines no doubt.

lol. Thanks for yet another winner!

Technically it's Pound-foot(lb-ft) which measure Torque, while Foot-pound(ft-lb) Measures Energy

great videos, realy like it, midrange is great all around bikes. I think

I wonder if there is a way to capture each motorcycle's exhaust sound, while still hearing you narrate the videos. As you probably know, each bike has a distinct sound, and it's always nice to hear, as well as see, the subjects of your road tests. Imagine watching the Blue Angels jets flying by at 600 mph ... and hearing nothing... As it is, it's like watching an electric bike being evaluated.. :^)

Great video! This is one of the bikes I was hoping you would test ride and you did. I wonder how it compares to the Triumph Tiger Sport 660? I would look at this bike. I like the looks but I wonder how the bike would feel doing a 100 to 150 mile day or so. Thanks

Booked my trident! Quick query..is the matte color better to go for or the gloss variants? Can matt be wrapped to protect paint? Pretty confused here!

I would describe it as a roadster not a classic or a sports bike. Seems a good all round package.

Hey Future Doodle, how do you like the new HD Sportster S?

Another great review. Keep up the good work. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, but Zack with RevZilla ranks the bikes he rides on a board at the end of "My Daily Commute". Maybe you could do something similar. Finally, it can said either way: foot-pounds or pound-feet. If you need a tie breaker, go with the one the manufacturer uses. Have a good day.

Future Doodle is so cute!! 🤗

Nice bike. Makes a change from the omnipresent mt-07 on the French market. I hope it does well.

Hi Doodle, I love your content. I'm a little less than 5'2 and I struggle to know whether I would be OK on a bike. I've been looking at the trident as a target bike since it came out. This has just reopened the possibility for me as my main bike once I've passed my test.

So......understanding the importance of passing power on the freeway was an aha moment for and it sounds like your there as well when I here you talk about throttle response on the freeway ! My first bike had plenty of power in the curves but not on the freeway....

I like to call them street fighters. Sounds like it might be time to have 2 bikes!!

Future Doodle for the win.

Hi! How was the oil level/consumption on trident? I've read forums where they apparently have a problem on oil levels getting low even after the 1st service.

@CheetoPhingers

Жыл бұрын

Mine's going in for its first year service, with 7,000 mi, and the oil is fine.

I read that they have reliability issues. For a long term bike I went with a VFR800 but that bike is a little tall even for 5'11".

Sweet 😎😎

If I keep watching I will end up buying a big brother for my little Spade150I , the Street twin would fit perfectly.

Will you be adding the Yamagata R7 and the Aprilia RS660 to your list of bikes to test?

400 CC or under or 650ish Twins and triple are speced for the Europe/U.K./Aus market. That is why the power and torque figures are so close. Euro Spec bikes sold in America. IIRC the only outlier is Honda 650s which run 4 cylinders.

Enjoy your life!👍

I’ve been considering this as a beginner bike vs. a Royal Enfield himalayan. Any thoughts on feedback?
