@theleftlane3654Ай бұрын
At 65mph, I believe I’m usually sitting at around 5-6k rpm in 6th. The gearing is pretty short to keep you in the power band. The vibrations aren’t bad when you’re just cruising, but when Im on it more and staying above 6k rpm the vibrations can be pretty intense; that being said, it doesn’t bother me because it lets me feel what’s going on with the engine without looking at the gauge to much during hard riding. I would say this is a very comfortable city commuter, but not a super comfortable long distance/highway bike.

Gearbox has has been tricky from the beggining. Mine came with quickshift installed and it was almost imppossible to find neutral. My trident had to go to the dealer and under gurantee they changed some spacers and springs of the detent shaft that solved the neutral problem completely.

I just bought a very lightly used 2022 Trident. The first owner bought it, put on some triumph factory accessories and a full GPR exhaust. Over two years he rode it enough to complete the break in and then traded for a cruiser. So I bought the bike way cheaper than new and it had the full 600 mile service done. I’ve owned it for 5 days and have put about 300 miles on it. Super fun little bike! The power comes on super smooth and has a very healthy pull. I got it for ~$7300 OTD with 658 miles on it. It’s a great first bike!

Upgrading brake fluid and pads will fix that break fade. 💯 Also, you should always leave it in gear at stoplights for that hopefully never-needed emergency escape...
I will definitely be doing the pads and fluid!
I have my Quadlock in the middle and keep the phone horizontal. I use that attachment that let's you tilt the phone and a vibration dampener. It's not perfectly straight but really close. Doesn't get in the way of my tank bag either
Thanks for the tip, I’ll try it out!
Similar story for me. Horizontally mounted and using the Quadlock stem mount. Doesn't get in the way of the speedometer and you don't have to take your eyes off the road
I did the same. Any other place and it blocks the gauge or hits my tank bag when turning the bars. It's not perfectly centered but it's close enough that I'm not going to spend more money to get it a few millimeters closer
Great review! I love my 660 Tribute Edition 2024 :)
That's awesome! I love the way the Tribute looks. That paint job is incredible, made me want to trade mine in for a minute
@@theleftlane3654 It’s worth it!
Just bought my tribute yesterday. 10 days until delivery
Great looking bike :)
It sure is!
I saw the orange model last saturday. I can't explain why but it looks so much more vibrant in person.
It definitely does! I was a little nervous when I ordered it because I thought the matte finish would look dull, but in person it really pops
@@theleftlane3654 My trident in the triple tribute Edition arrived yesterday and i'll get the paperwork and registration done next week
@@theleftlane3654 I'll be getting the papers for my own Trident in the new Triple Tribute Edition next week. I've seen so many videos of motorcycles for the past 8 months and after test riding the CB650R and the 2023 Hornet i feel like the trident was the right choice for my first bike
Just bought a 23' Trident 660.
Congrats! How’re you liking it so far?
I just bought one
Congrats! How do you like it so far?
Great video mate 👌
Thanks 👍
Excellent review phenomenal Voice you touched on all the Key aspects of the bike and I really got a great sense of what it’s like to drive one because we are description very calm pleasing voice really helped. This review shine.
Thanks so much, means a lot!
Nice bro how much is your height and inseam length?
I’m 5’11 with a 32 inch inseam. Very easy to flatfoot it
@@theleftlane3654 brother my height is 5'7 with 31-32inseam can I also flatfoot it I can do flatfoot in Duke 200( bs3) which has seat height of 810mm ?
My guess is you’ll be able to flatfoot it. Might be close, but you’ll probably be stable at the very least
Will you please post an update on the bike, and any changes made. Please let us know if you still love it
Working on that video! Should be out soon
Beautiful bike
How are the vibrations compared to a single or parallel twin?
Not bad! Pretty smooth below 5kpretty smooth above 8k. There’s a bit in the middle that’s more covey but it’s still not bad at all. Definitely smoother than like an mt07
Want the red one
Would you recommend it for a newbie?
Sure! I probably had less than 20 hours on a motorcycle when I bought it. It’s not too big or powerful, but there’s enough there to grow into. Also nice to have ABS and TCS when you’re first riding. Only downside is the price; for something you’re fairly likely to drop at some point, the new price is pretty steep. I’d recommend picking one up used if you can
@@theleftlane3654 for me the downside isn't the price, it's the fact that a dealership is not close. Thanks for the reply!
@@theleftlane3654 Sounds good. That's very helpful, thanks for taking the time!
Have you had the motor quit when using the clutch?
Nope! If that’s a common issue, has not happened to me yet
Good review. Hey, I thought this orange colour was introduced in 2023 not 2022? Nice bike. Cheers!
Correct you are! Embarrassing, forgot which year my own bike was
@@theleftlane3654 LOL
I ride an America, but if I ever looked at a non-cruise the Trident is the one I would love to try first :)
It would be a great choice!
That colour is stunning
I agree!
Hi All, on the triumph website the trident specs states that with the bike have self-cancelling indicators. It’s this correct?
Hey! That is the case! The indicators self cancel after a pre-set amount of time. You can also turn this setting off and ride with in fully manual mode
@@theleftlane3654 Thanks! Do you like how it works?
Honestly I run them manually most of the time. The system is nice but I’m just used to doing it myself lol
Great job thanks for the newer rider info! Love that color
Glad you enjoyed it! The color is even better in person, if your local triumph dealer has one definitely check it out
@@theleftlane3654 yes they do and I’ve sat on it and loved it. You info really sold me. I’m 55 started riding last summer on a Honda rebel250. I was going to try a 400cc naked but figured I’d out grown it fast but the 650 trident with the rain mode might be a nice segue into the full power of the street mode.
I definitely think the 660 is the way to go, especially if you’re planning on doing any longer distance/highway riding. Rain mode gives you just the right amount of power to ease into it, and once you’re feeling confident you have enough on tap to keep you happy for a long time
@@theleftlane3654 thanks!
You didn’t put the Kawasaki Z bike on your specs comparison! Heresy!! 😂
I knew I’d forgotten one! Truth be told I rode the Z and just didn’t get along with it too well. Still, should have been in there!
@@theleftlane3654 I like it and the trident best on paper and for looks, im riding a 2009 250r so im sure either one would feel amazing by comparison lol
Nothing wrong with the z, it’s a great bike too! Better probably in terms of price, reliability, etc. If you’re going to use it as a commuter and really put miles on it the kawi is probably the way to go. For me, it’s just fun and I’ll probably only put a thousand or so miles on per year, so the trident was perfect.
I want 1 🥲🥲
You should get one! Recommend it very highly
