2021 Triumph Trident 660 | The British Invade Japanese Market Share

[@hosuyakawayazuki]

So...what about this throttle lag? You seemed concerned but you did not elaborate. And I said before, Yamaha and Suzuki offer very nice incentives/discounts from starting price, Triumph not really. Is it really worth buying Trident then?

[@NothingToProve]

Yes, it's a progressive throttle, the first 5-10% is "gentle" then it gets more direct. They did that for the entry level rider, so us more experienced guys won't like it but the beginners will love it. Rain mode makes it even MORE gentle/worse(for me). Ride safe, Scott

[@GGr3MLiN]

How does the compare with Honda cb650r in terms of throttle lag?

[@JamesCAsphalt8]

I just bought a Trident after extensive research, first ride videos and I must say, there is not competition. Yes it is new and there is little discount. My dealer did give me 200 dollars off. I added connectivity, quick shifter, storage seat bag, USB port and mini microwave grilled cheese maker. I am very happy. Money is not the primary concern since the NT and the CB and in the same ball park.

Always a pleasure to see your reviews, best colors on the Triumph 👍🏻💪🏻

[@Salva.S]

Hello Scott, thanks for your nice review. My wife bought this same model few weeks ago and she is very happy with it. A lot of torque at very low rpm. 90% of the torque at 3000rpm. So easy to ride this new Triumph model. I am also very impressed. Good things to consider this Trident for your wife. Its perfect bike for us.Have great time and ride safe !

[@mukundraipatel8334]

Thank you NTP. You're spreadsheets are a new innovation on the tube & Guess what, they are helpful for digesting engineering talent. I like this new 'stat' presentation, but I'm sure it takes a coffee or2 to produce. 2 thumbs up dude.

[@NothingToProve]

Thank you for the compliment, I actually started the spreadsheets last year for my own personal use, for the super nakeds (my favorite group of bikes), to put the numbers into some sort of perspective and know where all the competitors stand against each other. So the time it took, heh, more like 1 or 2 "pots" of coffee over a year or so 😁👍 Ride safe, Scott

[@dpcservices]

I drove it myself last week, great little bike. Not so keen on the brakes, but overall nice bike, good seat & seating position. Great torque. Very smooth riding bike.

[@markb3180]

The Trident is a sharp bike, nearly as sharp as your new haircut!

[@TheChillBison]

Just found your channel yesterday for the MT-07 video, and just wanted to say I really like your presentation style. Very nice to listen to, good interspersing of talking and riding while talking; just really nice production.

[@SsiolisP]

Technical specifications aside, I think Triumph and Honda have nailed the looks, Honda having the upper hand in my eyes. The MT07 has a face which only a mother could love... perhaps :) (A commentator whom I've also noticed in other videos of this channel, would make a cat's fur stand on end. Creepy.)

[@hershyrock]

Love your videos. Very informative and straightforward. I love the calmness you have.

[@davidaubuchon7309]

Great video. I appreciate the perspective with the MT07. Thank you. Also - "I'm not going there guys".....smart man!

[@Jay_Speed]

Very good review, and yes it's a good bike that's why I ordered one here in Belgium. After 47 years of only Yamaha and 32 years of 1000 cc four this is going to be some else. Weight was my main point for choosing this bike around 185 kg with full tank and I did a test drive and liked it.

[@soulshinobi]

Was really hoping for more commentary on just how different the brakes and suspension really felt compared to the MT-07. Comfort I think is an important difference too.

[@zenjitsuman]

Scott, I love the new charts, I hope you post them so we can print them off. No one else has comparison charts. I watched both the Mt07 and Trident videos, two thumbs up. I want to point out the Trident has more HP but also a point you missed it gets about the same torque at a lower rev point so it has more grunt. The Trident is an all new engine shares very few older engine parts, and is a better value with its better chasis parts. Add the quick shifter and its perfect..I would have liked a highway segment and cut down the photo segment, just post pics online

[@RNvidcast]

Love the reviews. I know it's subjective but the new MT07 just looks so damn bad with that horrible LED headlight whilst the Trident is in my view the best looking in the sector (and I have a cb650r). Personally I feel like the XSR700 is more the direct rival due to style. I had one of those and found the gearbox a little notchy compared to the cb650r and Mt09 but what an engine that cp2 is... I'd take it over a triple anyday.

[@alexmorgan3435]

You are on to a winner with your comparison charts and comparing the bikes. No other bike YTer is doing this. They are very helpful. Hopefully you decide to start doing it with all bike segments. Clear and easy to see quickly what you are saying. A++++. Also the dark horse in this group which I mentioned in the comments of your MT-07 review, is the new Aprilia Tuono 660.

[@NothingToProve]

Thank you Alex. Yes the Tuono 660 when I do that it will be in the performance group, against the Triple RS/MT09/F900R/890Duke...etc. Hopefully I'll get to do that this week or next 🤞

[@r56mini]

I am a new rider and I have both Trident 660 and Yamaha R3. I like the R3 feel and handling but why I didn't go with MT-07 is because of the styling. I like Trident 660 styling 10 times better than MT-07 styling. I was not sold on the transformer look of MT-07. But Triumph's round oval gas tank and fenderless tail design sealed the deal.

[@muradmxd]

XSR 700 looks better, than MT 07

[@hawkwood6405]

That Triumph is one smart looking motorcycle. IMO its the best looking in the class. Something tells me I'd prefer the motor in the Yamaha however. For me it would be a tough decision to chose one over the other.

[@JamesCAsphalt8]

This was an excellent very detailed comparison. The best I have seen. Thank you.

[@masongoss4615]

Thanks for the charts. Super helpful for trying to home in on a shortlist. 👍

The headlight makes it. If it was like the street and looked like a unfinished bike with headlights that are missing a fairing piece it would ruin it. Glad they used that headlight

Good review. I like what they did with it and hitting that spot in the competitive segment like that - impossible to ignore.

[@meattooth1303]

the bike looks tiny. i am 6'3" 220 lbs and have a feeling this would be to small. however, i currently have a 690 duke that fits me fine.

[@larryvanputten4048]

Nice review of a true beauty! I specially love the shape of the Bonnie-like fueltank. A real Triumph triple-whistle too!

[@valisnow]

The things is that Trident is in fact 8035 EUR from dealers (around Frankfurt at least), which is quite a big difference from MT-07. I was decided on the Trident but the announced price and the real one are different...so still don`t know what to do. Nevertheless one of the most comprehensive and less biased reviews so thank you for that!

[@NothingToProve]

Yea, that is about right because the numbers that I give are from .de which do not include freight and dealer prep. All dealers are NOT created equal, so their numbers will very a lot.

[@floda8302]

Hi Scott, i've seen this bike by my Triumph-Dealer and it's really nice! Why i've seen it? because i bought one of the last 1050 Speed Triple in Black with yellow applications. I like the Triumph-bikes so much! Thank you again for your great video!

[@markgordon6126]

Great review. So close to consider the close market but is to test ride all. I'm 6ft 2 which one(s) are too cramped?? Thanks again.

[@GGr3MLiN]

Awesome review!! In your opinion, how would this compare with Street triple S (660cc) ??

[@NothingToProve]

Thank you. The Street Triple will have a little more performance, power, suspension, brakes...etc. But also a little more price too :) Ride safe, Scott

[@maxflight777]

Great value for money ! Seems an “easier” choice than the MT07! (Unless you carry a pillion !)

[@eliotsalandybrown]

I think the tone, production, camera work and content of your videos is excellent and always improving. You help me figure out what bikes to buy. Thanks a lot 🙏 One request - I like your chart, but I find your reflections on how competitors FEEL different to each other even more enlightening than the numbers, and something I can't read for myself on the web. Any chance of including that in the chart somehow? Bravo and thanks again!

[@NothingToProve]

Thank you! And thank you for the feed back. Good question, a chart with feelings...hmm. Thinking...thinking...I'm not sure how to do this, maybe a rating system of what inputs I put into the bike and then the type of feed back comes back from the bike, wow, you've opened a can of worms for me. 😁 I'm writing that with a smile on my face because it sounds intriguing to me, yet I think it is possible to do. I'll give it some thought! Ride safe, Scott

[@rays9033]

What brand of riding jeans are you wearing?

[@Mohammed68099]

Thanks for another great video. Quite informative as usual. I tend to compare these bikes with the BMW F900R as the price difference is not too big. I am really thinking between the CB650R, Trident 660 and the BMW F900R. I’m looking for a bike for everyday use in Berlin and go on longer trips to other cities around Germany on weekends with some luggage and my partner. I’m 165 and 35 years old. I only has small experience with a small displacement motorbike a while ago. Wondering what are your thoughts. Thanks a lot.

[@NothingToProve]

Thank you. The BMW would be a better choice for you, It has a lot more payload capacity than both of the other bikes and since you'll be two up with luggage, that is important. Also the power is more, well of course, it's a bigger engine :) And don't forget the electronics are second to none on the BMW, no one does the connectivity like BMW. This is why I purchased the 900XR. Ride safe, Scott

[@doodle0007]

Thanks for this one Scott, is it the lens deformation that bike looks too short/tiny on you. How is it going with the F900XR? I got mine finally and couldn’t be happier...though riding on Himalayan rocky trails is a bit tough. Stay safe!

[@NothingToProve]

Your welcome. Na, I'm top heavy, I carry a lot of my weight in my shoulders and chest and I have a big head, XXL helmet, so I usually look big for bikes of this size. Lovin' the XR! Over 9k km on it and still no problems and going strong. Will do 11k service probably next month and make a video about every thing then 😁👍 Ride safe, Scott

[@doodle0007]

@@NothingToProve Awesome! will be looking forward to it :), for now hunting for some options for engine protection which could fit in along with BMW engine spoiler. Hunt is on! :) ride safe!

[@CosmikDebriis]

Well I test rode the Triumph this morning having previously owned an MT07 but turned up on my current Honda NC750S. The first thing I noticed, on pulling away was, as you mention, the throttle lag and complete lack of anything useable under 3k (possibly 4k). Obviously the MT is the complete opposite and will poke wheelies for a pastime with just a blip of the throttle. I also found myself looking for another gear (or two) but, and here's the crux of it, I'm a low down torque kinda' rider who doesn't like to hear/feel an engine screaming. (never did like fours). So that's not really a complaint but just goes to highlight what I'd say is a massive difference between the Triumph and the Yamaha. Maybe it just depends on when you want that power delivery to come in. Then there's the suspension. My MT07 was Gen 1 and I've no idea if much has been done since but the Triumph is far superior and very confidence inspiring. The Yamaha was downright dangerous if pushed. Fit and finish seem quality on the Triumph whereas Yamaha could have done with putting more than one layer of paint on their bikes as mine was showing signs of rust in no time. (Maybe they do now, I just don't know). At the end of the day, despite liking the Torquey motor of the Yamaha, I'd buy the Triumph because it just feels better quality and somehow safer. In truth though, I'd buy neither as I'm an old fart who loves the practicality of the Honda and already own a nutter bike for as and when I'm in the mood, so no need for something in between. Looks like a 2021 NC750X for me.

[@Fee.1]

Yea the lag needs to be fixed. Triumphs first go at electronic throttle needs to be improved. If they don’t issue a service update then a power commander is a must

[@michaelevans1658]

Lets hope it's reliable ,had problems with my Street twin new harness with 1200 miles on clock.Great review.

[@marcelcoenen1437]

Sounds and looks good, excellent and (for searchers) helpful review. Take a BMW F 900 R into consideration, I‘m really happy with it, also with the often criticized quickshifter!

[@0Turbox]

Thought the same. At the moment, the BMW has the same price tag as the Triumph, here in Germany. That's 45% more torque for the same price.

[@jimmbull]

@NothingToProve I think the real competition is between this on and the CB650R 21, i have watched your videos on both bikes, what do you think? Which one you would buy now?

[@NothingToProve]

This, no question.

[@I-Am-That]

Scott, between Triumph Trident & Ducati Scrambler, which one would you pick? Where I'm coming from they are both priced quite closely and performance wise is also almost the same.

[@NothingToProve]

Well, it really depends on what you are looking for? and what bike stirs your heart? and don't forget about the dealer, the dealer is the one that you will have to work with over time and I'd pick the one that gave you a "warm fuzzy feeling" 👍😁

[@I-Am-That]

@@NothingToProve Thanks Scott. It's more for a casual ride and commute to work but for now it's lock down period and WFH for an indefinite period. Trident is modern & Scrambler ICON has the retro look. Living in all around summer environment the scrambler's only fall away is the heat. I'm around 5' 10" - 5' 11". I've checked both the bikes at the showroom & they both looks nice in it's own way. Looks like I just gotta flip my coin for the decision later on when I'm ready to fetch one 😃

[@HS99876]

Good review, Thank you, now that I got my first bike, I can see how important is the engine configuration, V Twin, in line Twin, Triple, in line four, I am sure they all feel different in handling and the weight distribution. I got an in line four and I can feel the weight right in front of the bike compare to SV with V twin which feels much lighter in front, easier to handle at slower speed. I think the V Twin can hide the weight better.

[@NothingToProve]

Thank you! Yes you are right, a lot of guys forget about the engine configuration and look at the "specs" and say this will fit me but forget about the heart of the bike, the character the soul, how does it make you feel? That is how one finds a bike for themselves, kind of like finding a girl friend 👍😉 NTP, Scott

Stuck between the 2021 MT 07 and the 2021 trident 660... so very similar but for roughly the same price Trident offers an additional cylinder, Showa suspension, etc. I really don’t know which to choose both are beautiful bikes

[@NothingToProve]

Then what's left? Go to each dealer and see which dealer you like best, then buy that bike at that dealer 👍😁 Dealerships are very important, if you don't have a good relationship with them then the relationship with your bike won't work. Good luck, Scott

[@TheWanko11]

Great review as always!!!

[@mickleblade]

Methinks the MT-07 has Sumitomo brakes, sames as the whole yamaha range. Just to nitpick, I can't see the point of a silly 14L tank, nor the super short front mudguard. The pillion seat looks too small and the grab rail is an option. But I love the headlight and clocks, its moved the goalposts.

[@NothingToProve]

Yea, "me thinks" you are right, Nissin uses them :)

[@Fee.1]

Can you explain why you dislike the transmission gears being shorter? I feel like being able to wind out more gears more often is a freaking treat. Am I missing something ? Especially with a quick shifter

[@hosuyakawayazuki]

For fun factor, sure. In the city traffic, if you use your bike every day it becomes a bit annoying. I think it depends on what you need your bike for. But...he said he is really nitpicking there :) Overall it's ok.

[@Fee.1]

@@hosuyakawayazuki oh I know I just find nitpicking to be some of the most insightful bits of info so I like to get more of it than less

[@zenjitsuman]

@@hosuyakawayazuki 90% of the torque is by 3000 rpm I think 3rd gear you can pull in town just fine without down shifts. Of course I would spend for the quick shifter, but this bike is refined

[@NothingToProve]

Well, the assumption that I "dislike" the shorter gears is incorrect, I said in the video "it's not a problem, I just had to get used to it, basically I'm shifting sooner when riding normally/in traffic which is like 90% of the time. And the throttle is progressive, meaning with this throttle the first 5-10% is very gentle and then comes on more (like a normal throttle) as you twist further...which is great for beginners but experienced riders (like me) might not like it so much. I think it was getting used to both of these things at the same time that you interpret as a "dislike". 🤔 NTP, Scott

[@Fee.1]

@@NothingToProve thanks, no it’s just how I talk apparently sorry about that. I don’t consider “dislike” in this context to be a big negative term or to denote “a problem”. I meant it only in the context that you LIKE the mt07’s better, so by my logic you “dislike” this ones (in comparison/in this context). I could have found a better word I suppose just didn’t think it would come across the way it did, I’m glad you explained though because Your video didn’t come across as you coming down hard on it or anything, I didn’t realize I gave the impression I felt you did

Wow the old mt_07 is actually lighter and more powerful than the newer mt_07 what a surprise. Bloody euro 5, surpriseed that yamaha did not actually increase the cc to compensate for the lack of power, however that would of pushed up the price because they would have to retooled

Nice review! But the Honda 95 hp of the Honda makes a huge difference for me + the in line 4 for the smoothness!

That's great if you live at 12,000 RPM cause that is where that 95 hp is at. Reality is we spend most of the time at less than half that RPM on the street. So yes as I pointed out in the chart, it is 95hp but it's way up in the stratosphere...not very practical every-day-useable power. But if you like to rev the motor, then this is the bike for you! Ride safe, Scott

[@jeannolin1681]

Scott! I'm sure you will enjoy to read all the bikes I had: Kawasaki Z750 2004, Honda VFR 800 2005, Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2007, Ducati Monster 696 2009, Yamaha R3 2017 and finally Honda CB650 2019... CB 650 is the best! ... Something important about the naked bikes that you are not talking about in your reviews is the wind protection... I couldn't drovr my CB without a fairing

[@NothingToProve]

Wind protection. Naked bike. No fairing, no wind screen, no nothing. Hmm...kind of goes without saying that there is no wind protection. Do I really need to say that in a video? Especially in this middleweight budget group, a wind screen/fairing will cost money for the OEM 😁🤣 Although I do talk about that on some of the super nakeds, just the ones that have a "mini" screen on them like the 1100 Tuono. Yea, of those bikes that you've owned the CB650 is the better bike. But any newer bike is usually better than an older bike, usually.

@@NothingToProve Thanks Scott for a quick reply. Yeah, I can wait for that long :) anyway in Vancouver, Canada both Tuono and Trident are not coming for display for the next 2-3 weeks :( I also want to ask about the Reliability and Maintenance cost for Aprilia? Here in Canada BMW F900R 2020 is available for $12200 fully loaded + Tax and Freight and they are giving 3 years warranty and roadside assistant, Trident is roughly around $10500 with few mods and Tuono 660 is starting from $12750. And I am 5'7, not a tall guy. After considering these things do you still think Tuono still be worth its price in Canada? Thanks again for your Recommendation and content :)

[@NothingToProve]

Wow, that is a lot of money for the Trident! I wonder why it's so high there. The Tuono & 900R seem to be more "normal" in price but for a loaded 900R it's a little cheaper here in Germany, they start at 8,800€...loaded around 10-11k. The Tuono will probably be the most expensive to maintain. And the Trident the least expensive and the BMW somewhere in the middle. BMW has the best display and connectivity of all, bar none, this is one of the reasons I bought the 900XR last year and have never looked back or regretted it. Hmm...sounds like they are really trying to sell BMW's there, good incentives, hmm...I'd get the blue one! 👍 But if you want more sporty riding, then get the Tuono 😁 It's the fastest in a corner of the three, if that is important to you but the BMW has more power and will pull away from both in a straight line. The Trident is the lowest performing bike of the three but it is meant for beginner/entry level riders. Decisions, decisions, decisions... It really comes down to what bike moves your heart. You'll be happy with all three but which one moves you? That is the question you need to ask your self. Like choosing a girl friend, it's usually not the most logical choice 🤔🤔 Good luck, Scott

Thanks for taking the time and reply back to me. Yeah, I am also leaning toward BMW Blue color :) Not into sport riding Married a man now so looking to get something for the long term and something that doesn't push me to do crazy stuff 😊. Yeah I also looked in CB650R and that bike didn't click for me and I am feeling it's going to be the same for Trident. Plus used to ride Kawasaki Z800 so Trident gonna feel a little small. But Thanks again for your reply and suggestions 😊 really appreciated

[@puneetsehgal8200]

@@NothingToProve Thanks Scott for the information early on just want to let you know that I am getting BMW F900R in Blue :) It is kinda fully loaded except the keyless.

[@douglasrea9128]

In other words what is the "peg-to-seat height"?

[@darkmagician2730]

I still dont get it Triumph in Germany is 7650€ and here on Balkans where people have less money is 8190 € how ??

[@Fee.1]

I think it’s more attractive than the street triples. I just don’t like the whole swoopy alien look. The original street triple was better

[@Brad-RB]

Well done sir.

[@maxflight777]

Insta 360 X2 camera ? I’m curious

[@NothingToProve]

No, gopro Max, it's better for my needs, an action camera. X1 & 2 are not action cameras and does not always work when I want it too and the Max does.

[@maxflight777]

@@NothingToProve thanks, appreciated

[@Fee.1]

I kind of agree but I wish triumph had just blown the rest out of the water. Why land right in the middle of the pack of older bikes. I just feel like they could have obliterated the segment given the motor they started with

[@TOMAHAWK813]

CAN YOU DO A REVIEW OF THE NEW TUONO 660?!?!

[@NothingToProve]

Yeppers! As soon as the bike is available, I'll be on it!

[@TOMAHAWK813]

@@NothingToProve nice thank you! I’ve seen the review of the rs660 you did but I really enjoy your opinion on things and even though they are similar bikes I’d like to see how you feel about the ergonomics compared to other naked bikes.

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Does it feel faster than the SV650?

[@NothingToProve]

No, slower.

[@brucekendall52]

Thanks.

[@johns1139]

This bike would be perfect if it weren't for that bad throttle response. Hope they fix that in future updates.

[@NothingToProve]

That is built in on purpose, 5-10% of throttle is very gentle and then after that is get's back to normal. They did this for the beginner/entry level rider. It's great for them but us experienced riders, well, let's just say it was kind of irritating when I was trying to have some "fun". :(

[@farzankhansaheb]

@@NothingToProve would throttle spacers help the laggy throttle issue?

[@NothingToProve]

@@farzankhansaheb nope, it's programed into the mapping. :(

[@farzankhansaheb]

@@NothingToProve thanks! So an engine remap would sort it out and would that even be possible?

[@NothingToProve]

@@farzankhansaheb It should be possible to do that.

this or the f900r?

900!

[@TheJWC56RSA]

At least the Triumph looks much better than the MT07....

[@TK-cl1jm]

Judging by your chart, the 2020 MT07 was better in every regard compared to the 2021. Way to go Yamaha...

[@Sum1t54]

Pop a wheelie on it?

how tall are you ?

I can’t wait to meet you and get in your face and say HEY PAL WHADDAREYA TRYING TO PROVE HERE and then we can laugh and get drinks on some moto company’s dime

[@RichardsModellingAdventures]

The subframe is too short for no good reason. No way will anyone like sitting on that as a pillion. They then fit that ugly fender thing that does not work to compensate for the lack of mudguard. A classic example of form over function that failed.

[@Jay_Speed]

Your right that's the reason I ordered the tail tidy.

[@davidbesant]

Sorry to disappoint, but the Trident 660 is about as "British" as Tom yun goong.

[@ferociousfrankie]

Made in Thailand vs made in Japan with Indonesian engine. I'll take Japan.

[@East_Performance]

Trident seems little too small for a big guy like you.

[@NothingToProve]

I'm 5'10" 185 lbs,, if you want to call that "big" that's up to you. But if you are my size or bigger, this bikes not for you. Ride safe, Scott

[@user-hf8ie8mf3n]

I actually think this would be a fun city bike, and now that they added cruise and a sport mode, it looks a bit more fun. Or I could be way off. I just desperately want a Triumph before I die, and this is the only one that fits, ergos wise. 🫨
