Guys, Kerala MVD has released a statement that they will be cracking down on helmet cams now. They are citing incidents where people use helmet cams to record stunts and apparently a kid recently caused an accident while wearing a helmet with action cam and 3 people including the kid were casualties. Kerala MVD are saying the rider's attention will waver when wearing a helmet cam. Any takes on this? This happens anywhere else in India?

I have no problems with "my first big bike" being compact and controllable.

But when I do, I'll make sure to not make any mistakes going after fancy on-paper specs in place of the motorcycle experience. Great video, Shumi! thank you Powerdrift.

I think this is a beautiful package of power and practicality. I've been stuck in 3 hour long bumper to bumper traffic wearing a track pant and slippers spending about 90 percent of the time holding the clutch. While I felt the heat, the bike didn't overheat. When you accelerate, you'd know that you'd be able to control it and that's the kind of confidence you'd need in a bike. You don't want something brutal. It's fuel consumption is on par with my old Duke 390 (around 20 kmph). The bike is small, doesn't grab a lot of attention and the stock exhaust cannot be changed with a slip on since it is a single piece. You'd need to churn out 1.5L to churn out Akra or a Zard. But with the minimalistic design, all you'd need to do is to rev it hard in the 2nd and the 3rd gear and watch the peak hour traffic scramble away from your lane in mortal fear and amazement. What else would you need in a middle weight retro streetfighter?

Meanwhile Sparky: “Forget PD, Forget Trident! Did you say German Shepherds in-front of me a dachshund!” 🤣🐶

"Very quickly, you'll outgrow this.." Was expecting Shumi will say this for sure. Looks more like a Svartpilen 401 than a triple cyl middleweight from Triumph

The new triumph Trident 660 is great looking middle weight bike. The design looks retro and modern and the dimensions are compact to. But it doesn't looks like a big bike like compared to a Kawasaki Z650. However where it excels is in the performance. Thanks 3 Cylinder engine is one of best, its smooth refined and sounds incredible 👍👍👍. Well if want to choose a middle weight,then its the triumph Trident 660. But i also like the Yamaha MT07 which is the best middle weight bike in the international markets. Its one hell of bike especially with the cross plane crank 689cc twin cylinder engine , sadly its not here in India😑😑😑.any way thanks for the review ❤❤❤. Also nice dog you have their 😄😄😄like the name to sparky.

Aye! You're welcome Sangeeth! :D

Good balanced review. For my part, I think, considering where Triumph were aiming this bike in the market, they've done a good job. I traded in my 2019 street twin, for this bike. Because despite the torque and build quality of the twin, after 3yrs, I wanted something lighter and more flickable, a bike that would rev further. Well, that's what I got! I am having a great time on this bike, its placid, when you want it to be, however, it encourages you to let it free! It makes me smile. In 18 months I will trade up to a 900ish class triple. But for now! After my street twin trade in price... I have a New fun machine, for £2,000.

What's with the weird blue color grading? I have a headache now. Always go warmer, never cooler, this is not a horror movie

Am i the only one who thinks that dog at the end was there to resemble trident(in terms of size) in the conclusion part. 😂😂 P.s. GREAT VIDEO PD, Shumi has always nailed it ✌️

Great review in pointing out the flaws in our Indian context. Is it really practical for India where maintaining even 100kph is difficult on highways, with people crossing the streets everywhere? On top of that, the roads are bad and ridden with potholes. At least in US roads have 65-75 mph (~100-120kph) speed limits and one can ride for hours in those speeds. Furthermore, this motorcycle is really small and lacks street presence. It is designed keeping the Western novice rider on mind and like you said, it won't feel special if you move up from a Duke 390 to this.

Having a big bike with bike being compact is no issue it should be nimble and side by side should be appealing to and ya for me this matters bcs at the u live in india and u care for ur bike so cutting through traffic and parking matters a lot. 😆 specially these bike catching a lot attentions. I love trident hopeing to buy it soon

Trident when launched in April 2021 seemed very attractive deal …and I was confused with street twin gold line since price difference was 1.3 lakhs . My doubts got cleared immediately when I saw trident n took a test ride ! I may look fascinating roadster but definitely doesn’t give u special feeling of owning a big bike ( as shumi correctly mentioned u will outgrow is very soon ). I was really impressed with HT 900 cc engine of ST and it definitely gives u feeling of big bike and that exhaust …! Overall I really doubt how much comfortable it will for long distance touring ( u can’t tour with pillion )

Feels lively whenever nd whatever 'The' motorcycle guru explains....When i was keen to purchase Karizma ZMR back in the days nd confused with the competitions, I blindly booked nd purchased the same after watching ur review video....nd schumi sir, u didn't let me down✌️

I can't unsee your buddy getting confused with your arm movements 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love the way this bike looks , hope they make a 900

Always great presentation Sir 👍 Could you please give a comparison between 60 percent Road 40 percent Off Road riding Comparison and Performance with relation to its cost.... In the 500cc below or more in a certain budget only appx 5 lakhs with twin cylinders and the quality and durability of the engine's.

Trident

Theoretically Trident may look like it has "borrowed" the engine from current A2 (LAMS) license Street Triple S (660cc) in reality it's not accurate. And neither is that it's just retuned 660cc Street Triple S. The bore and stroke have been redesigned and so is the cam to say least. It may share good number of parts with the S but it also doesn't share lot of parts wih it either. There are significant changes between these two machines to call it retuned S. IMHO the correct way to describe it could be that Trident engine is based on S engine but redesigned for Trident.
