Got one in blue , and I’m a youngster of 70 🤪. Never bothered with outside temp gauge, you always know when it’s cold outside. I’ve got panniers and top box for long trips. Panniers will take a large Schubert c3 pro easily, good 200 mpg . I use heated gloves because they keep tops of hands warm aswell. You can get wind guards . Been riding 50 years plus except at brands I’d never use a quick shifter ,or cruise control on motorways. And regulary do 500 miles to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and stop regularly for petrol and stroll at 140 miles. Great video love the bike + did I mention at my age the pillion hump on most bikes means I can’t get my leg over 😂😂, but the sport has a long shallow seat easy peasy 😊😊👍👍

I’m a 72 year old youngster. BikeSanooK KZread channel.We have reviewed the Triumph sibling Trident 660 and Bonneville T100 here in sunny tropical Thailand, where the Triumph factory also is located. In three days we’ll be testing the Tiger Sport 660 - we’re excited!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqioyqugeJfFmLQ.html

Talk about all the right ingredients for a huge seller…. Brilliant. Nice work chops, really enjoyed this one. 👍👍

More informative than one of your peers.....makes me actually want to go and test ride it as an alternative to bigger adv sport tourers- good price too even with the "de rigeur" touring extras. Didnt think it would go as good as youve demonstrated

Now waiting for the Tiger 660 Adventure Rally version…. Great review and another solid middleweight from Triumph.

Nice review 😉 Took it out for a blast yesterday and can't fault it one but really. I found the throttle response very slow and gear changes also pretty relaxed but you learn to adapt so that's not really a big deal. Love the riding position and comfort and the debate about power is concluded as far as I'm concerned as 80bhp although half of what I'm used to is plenty for mischief around town, commuting and fun 👍😎

Good review chops, I’ve watched a few reviews on the tiger 660, they have all been good. I think triumph have knocked out the park with this one.

You’re an absolute a pro, buddy. Best of the best with these. Mega review, ride along and edit! Well done as usual #TeamLCR 🔝🎬🎥🆒

Great review Chopsey. Was wondering about all the trees down. Did a wind storm do all that ? Looking forward to learning about Mash in London with the Ebikes test. Triumphs e bike sporty should be out soon . She's a real looker.

Me too brother, 6'2" and recently discovered I was 20 stone, below that now, check soon. The Triumph is good looking

Cracking review Chopsy. My only grumble would be the lack of cruise control which for touring is a must have item.

Another cracking bike from Triumph, they seem to have got they’re act together👍🏽

Great, balanced review. Nice to hear!

Cracking review Chopsy, as usual. Word of the day “peppy”.😁

Triumphs make very good looking bikes, that are excellent functioning motorcycles. That's from your friend on the other side of the Atlantic pond in the USA 🇺🇸

Just brought the graphite / Black one can’t wait to pick it up the re rides I’ve looked at helped but I knew it was the one as soon as I sat on it 😅 my 1050 tiger is getting a bit big for me as I’m nearly sixty so this is a god send 🎉🎉

Goes, stops, looks good. Don't know about that 17" inch front wheel - have one of those on my '19 CB500F. Top box sounds good - wouldn't own a bike without one. Centre stand would be nice

This bike is a winner for Triumph. Nuff said. Nice work on the video Mr Chops.

In Australia we get the 55hp A2 compliant version. The gearing is a tad short for motorways but otherwise it's a really nice ride.

There was a software issue with the Triumph heated grips, I hope they now have it sorted as I've just ordered a set. For some folks the mandatory first service firmware upgrade virtually disabled the grips from what I've read on forums, quite a few unhappy punters. Only done 350 miles on mine but love it, great review! My problem is I have a long body but very short legs. 28" inside leg. Had to get the low seat which helps a lot. I dropped it in the first week of having it whilst stationary in traffic. Blimmin steamed up visor and on tippy toes in peeing rain. If you got long legs then you will love it, its a much taller bike than I am used to. I also find the gear shifter small and close in, I am considering an after market replacement as I also have a bit of Charlie Chaplin feet, but those are really my problems and not the bike. Once I am moving on it it is a lovely ride!

Great video, can't wait to try/buy one of these!

Triumph eventually makes a good looking bike I like it and that triple engine always sounds gorgeous 👍

Looking forward to seeing an Rally version… but also… great review

I'm considering buying one to replace my Bonneville T120 which I love, but it's a heavy bike for me to haul around the bends all day when I go touring. Decisions, decisions...🤔

Getting one in the Spring, can't wait!

Colour me impressed. It's a great bike for the money, I really don't think you could be unhappy owning one.

Cheers Chopsy for the reviews mate. I'm liking the idea of the 660 sport. I had a KTM 1090 (S). I liked that bike, comfy, fast on public roads and just easy to live with. But at only 5'9" I struggled with the seat height and just the general size of the bike. I found the big Kato tested my riding abilities at slow speeds so I didn't look like a noob. Which was a shame as I could really hustle the bike once moving, sealed or unsealed. For me, I wish Triumph made the tiger sport in a 765 and upgraded suspension but I'm sure I can have the suspension improved with K-Tech or similar. As for only being 660 well in Australia, we have slow speed limits so it's kind of pointless having fast bikes. I would do a full system and reflash of the ecu to squeeze a whisker more out of it.

Don’t think I’ve heard a bad review about this bike yet. Must be good ! 👍

Gotta hand it to Triumph, killing it again 💪🏻👍🏻 I’m predicting their electric offering will be a game changer and turn the market on its head 💪🏻

Bought one three weeks ago and am still getting used to it. Tires are grippy, torque and power are on command. My last motorcycle I ever road was 33 years ago, and it was a Harley Sportster. I can see a quick shifter being fun with this bike.

Sounds like a lovely bike I wouldn't be happy with heated grips better off with a set of Oxford if you don't mind the temperature control stuck on the handlebar

Excellent review chopsy

Plenty quick enough on the jump off. It’s a sweet bike. I want one.

Been looking forward to this Chops. Nice one 👍

Good old review pal, having recently ridden a 200 mile day on one of these I can concur, nice bike Mr.

Thanks for representing the tall/weighty rider Mr lamb Chops.......respect.

Longer front mudguard might have been a good idea, otherwise the front of the engine is just a dumping ground for the muck.

Thank you mr Rides! Honda should make one these with their CB650R. When you say 0-60, I hear naughty60! He he!

Lovely little machine with a massive load capacity, so it can cope with you 20st! Triumph grips are not the best, pretty weedy on my Tiger too. The Oxfords on my other machine are mighty.

I've ridden one and the only thing I didn't like was the high revs on the motorway. Shame because otherwise it's fantastic value and fun.

Thank you for a great review, i am looking to ge the same phone case/mounting, may i ask what attachment type do you use on the T660 during your review? It seems is either the handle bar or top clamp? many thanks in advance..

I lived in Auckland for 2 years and found the riding experience similar to riding in France, but as nice as NZ is in terms of open spaces and not much traffic, there's just not enough roads to add variety to journeys and it all becomes rather boring doing the same loops hence why I came back to Europe amongst other reasons.

Not a fan of red in bikes but I'd certainly consider this one

Had a test ride on one today. Good middleweight bike. Pretty much everything you've said in your review. During the ride the service light came on which overrides some of the display. The fuel light, which comes on with 2 bars remaining, does this as well. Spoke to the sales person and after the warranty is up and you do your own servicing they will put the bike on the diagnostics and remove the service warning light, at a cost of half an hour's labour. 🤔

I test ride this from Webbs in Lincoln a few weeks ago and it’s a nice bike but lost out to a Honda CBR650R I test rode. Much quicker, more sporty and exciting than the Tiger Sport. Also as a chunk chap I was surprised at how poor the screen was! At 6ft with the screen low I found a lot of wind hitting my shoulders and head and with it on the high setting all it did was move it up to the head only but make it way more turbulent Surprisingly the CBR with its much lower sport screen and with a slightly forward sporty riding position gave more wind protection. Don’t get me wrong the Tiger Sport 660 was a nice bike but I found it good but a bit dull whereas the Honda was very quick when worked and instantly as home on it despite the lightly sporty seating position and clip on bars and just Exciting in a way the Triumph wasn’t.

I wish they would offer this with a bigger engine as the previous 1050 tiger sport is a cracking bike.

Rode that actual bike it is absolutely brilliant Chops is right as ever probably the best bang per pound bike that Triumph make

Sounding more like Greg Davis on every vid 🤣🤣🤣, another excellent video chopsy 👍🏼

If Triumph can engineer such good bikes, surely they can find a way round using a dipstick in the 21st century. Nice review Chopsy.

Good looking bike chops

7:58 my Speed Twin heated grips surely work wonders. My brohter also had the Trident and the Heatgrips really werent that good

Sounds really nice with the stock can, looking for something in-between my fzr1000 exup and my BMW k100 tourer and think this will fit nicely

I want them to do this to the Street Triple platform.

I am the same height as you are. A bit over 100 kg. I am not sure wich one to pick. Currently choosing between the tiger sport 660 and tiger sport 850. Have to testride both. I really like the multifunctional 850 (can do a little bit offroad) and the bit higher torque figure compared to the 660. I will use the bike mainly for commuting but I like the option of going on a gravelroad. Perhaps I answered my own question. For fun I have a nice Triumph Sprint RS 955i if I want to go fast.

Awesome review as always. Really like this bike but im Honda girl at heart. 🤔

Cracking Review! Looks and sounds like a great bike. Tempted to take one for a test ride. Could tour on this and would complement my Street Triple.

Don’t feel bad about not finding much to complain about lol, it is actually very good. I picked mine up on March 1st and covered about 300 miles so far It’s a great all rounder. I agree that the road 5 tires make a positive effect on the ride, handling etc I had the panniers quick shifter, heated grips, hand guards and Bluetooth fitted. The panniers look great on the bike and are well made, Triumph heated grips always take a while to warm up but they are worth the money in my opinion. Looking forward to getting that 1st oil change at 600 miles over and done with then I can start to open her up a bit. Great vid 👍

@@martinrea8548 Hello, so I wasn’t sure whether to reply at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite after my 1st initial review but things have changed a lot for me since I wrote that. Ultimately I have got rid of the TS and bought something else. Unfortunately I fell out of love with the bike the more I rode it and after about 4 months or so of ownership and a fair few miles I found issues that i wouldn’t have expected from a Triumph costing just over £10k with all the extras etc. little niggly things that in the end made riding the bike a chore rather than fun. Gear changing and throttle response being the main thing just overly clunky and jerky which in turn made using the quick shifter a nightmare, it was fairly smooth when the revs were up high but not really enjoyable to use lower down the revs. Issues with the screen moving dropping down the ratchet mechanism when doing 70mph or more it would benefit from have a way to lock it off in position. The character of them engine also started to annoy too not as smooth as you would expect. I did report all these issues to Triumph and they test ride the bike but reported it was working fine. I made sure the chain tension was spot on etc which helped a little bit ultimately I realised that this is what it’s supposed to be like. Plus points were the breaks/tyres/luggage. Perhaps I expected too much? I’m not sure but having owned a street triple RS 765 which uses the same basic triple engine and gearbox yet was so much smoother and probably the best I have used unfortunately the Tiger Sport failed to impress in the end. Sadly. I was at a complete loss as to what to replace it with but test rode a KTM 390 adventure and loved it and still do lol. It’s not something that one would consider as a competitor to the Triumph but its more relevant than you would think, bearing in mind that it cost less than half the price of the Triumph I snapped up a new 2021 model out of the show room for £5000 it certainly punishes above it weight. Well made lovely engine and gear box lovely and light and takes a pillion easily, wish I thought about one sooner it’s the bike I recommend to anyone over the Triumph to test ride. So for anybody thinking of picking up a Tiger please ensure you have an extended test ride and make sure it’s right for you, even throw a leg over the KTM you might be pleasantly surprised….

Interesting bike, nice review.

The bike sounds really nice. I have a tuned up CBR500R which is a good deal faster than stock. I has a very similar 0-60 as the Tiger based in your results but it doesn't sound that good and it tops around 110 MPH due to gearing and lack of power up top. I love the way this triple sounds and how it pulls right to the top. I was pretty much set on adding a CBR650R to my stable but I'm interested in trying one of these out when they hit US dealers.

Yes I saw his review, seems Triumph really have nailed this one!

Looks like a good bike

Regarding preload adjustment, for the Tiger the manual says "Turn the spring preload adjuster clockwise towards the right hand side of the motorcycle to increase spring preload." So unless the manual is wrong, it's a case of lefty loosey for less preload and righty tighty for more preload! Should be able to prove which way it works by observing the spring length at each extreme - with the spring being shorter on max preload. I wish it was the other way because at fully anti-clockwise I found the suspension still rather unyielding on my test ride, but then I only weigh 14st! Hopefully it will soften a bit with use. Should be getting mine by the end of March.

@LambChopRides

Yes correct normally it is that way around, but observing the spring it was the other way around! Thats why I started winding right then saw it moving downwards, so then realised it was opposite.. bit of a weird one I agree 👍

@fred_jb

2 жыл бұрын

@Lamb Chop Rides The spring does go downwards and get shorter as you increase preload - that's how preload works, but it doesn't make the shock shorter because the piston in the preload collar protrudes further. It then takes more weight to further compress the already pre-compressed spring, resulting in less suspension sag for any given load.

Handsome looking bike.

How does it stack up to the king of that category, the verseys?

How does this bike compare to the versys 650? It seems more powerful and torquier. If that's the case, I want one!

Not so bothered about cruise control on a more budget bike, even though I still think all bikes with a RBW throttle should have the option, but the no centre stand is a real deal breaker. It limits the main reason for the bike's purpose, touring. The Tracer 7 doesn't have the electric gadgets this has, but it's the better bike out of the two, imho. Hoping Yamaha give it a TFT and other gadgets on the next update.
