2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 | First Ride Review

[@WyreForestBiker]

I think aesthetically this is one of Triumph's best ever designs . Its difficult to make adventure style bikes look attractive as the function severely restricts form . To my eyes this is easily one of the best looking bikes in the class .... it flows really well and just looks right 👌

[@RaunakPSingh]

that is because it is just a naked bike rather than an adventure bike.

[@goks1987]

It is a sports tourer. Not adventure as far as I can see. But yes, it is a beauty.

[@WyreForestBiker]

@@RaunakPSingh it's an adventure style bike...

[@WyreForestBiker]

@@goks1987 a sports tourer is based on a sports bike.... This is based on an adventure bike style. It's obviously from thr Tiger design style

Looks ugly. This seat looks like after heavy crash. And gauges 90s style.

[@sbeck152]

Been looking forward to the reviews on this bike since it was announced. Very impressed in the flesh at the NEC and excited to test ride next year. Great video, Dan… Subscribed. 👍

[@markhyoutube]

Please Triumph bring out a 1200 version of this!

[@916strada]

I own the Trident and the engine and handling are, as you say, the stars of the show. Lack of a useable screen and cruise control on a bike with a 200 mile tank range are serious errors by Triumph in my view

[@Grunge_Cycling]

Rubber bands on the throttle = cruise control

[@bajacore]

I agree with needing CC. If (or when) they add it, it will outsell every other bike in its class. It would be an easy add too since it has a ride-by-wire throttle.

[@WyreForestBiker]

Cruise control ... used to be a gimmicky accessory , now people think they are vital necessities . Its a Motorcycle FFS !!🤣

[@916strada]

@@WyreForestBiker you haven’t ridden 500 miles or more in a day have you? Then you would know their value. This Trident has real touring potential so CC is an issue; they could have offered it as an accessory.

[@RubricoA.]

This is my dream bike, the price point and the specs is really appealing to me and I love that triple sound. I hope someday I'll get one (new or second hand)

[@Englishbikerdan]

I hope you can get one too! Best wishes.

[@Speedytrip]

Great review! If you're 5'8" and you get buffeting, at 6'1" that could be painful hehe This really looks like an amazing bike for the price (Don't see why anyone would choose a Versys 650 or tracer 700 over this...). But I keep hoping some day manufacturers stop making "comfort seats" as accessories and just make it the default seat. If someone wants an uncomfortable seat, they could pay extra for that :) The only downside of these Triumphs is the valve check schedule, Yamahas will go twice the distance before valves need to be checked.

[@amiruscz]

Or V-Strom 650. ;-)

[@ihatetechnomusic5232]

I'm looking for my first serious bike. Triumph Tiger 660 Sport caught my eye when it was announced, it ticks all the boxes for me. However the nearest dealership and service is about 300-350 km away from where i live =/ Kawasaki/Suzuki/Honda are all close though, so i decided to go with the new Versys 650.

[@robhall5622]

Main reason for picking the Tracer now is you can buy one brand new for sub £7k.

[@Geo_Okami]

"Don't see why would anyone choose tracer, versys over this" Hello my name is Japanese bulletproof reliability

[@RaunakPSingh]

like me, many and many will always choose a Japanese over this. I will always go for any Japanese brand whether its versys or tracer or tenere or CRF or even naked version of CB. Japanese Brands are better. Period!!!!!!

[@markwillerton2021]

What is the current obsession with cruise control on bikes???? Never had it, I see no reason to want it or to pay for the extra cost for it, sitting on a straight road with cruise control engaged is not my idea of motorcycling I'm quite happy to leave speed control to my right hand and go enjoy the twisty scenic routes.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

Not all roads are fun and twisty... lots are straight and flat. It's just nice to be able to rest your wrist for a few minutes at a time, or not have to worry about inadvertently speeding. Triumph already did all the costly work by making it ride by wire -- just toss in a button and some programming and it's a big selling feature for a tourer.

[@alm3id4]

Fan from Portugal here! Didn't expect to see a video filmed on these parts. Keep up the great work!

[@eagle003]

I think buffeting is a real issue on these type of bikes - they want a screen cause it's an "adventure tourer" but can't be too big cause it's not a very big boy. And then your head pays the price (unless you're a small enough rider)

[@michaeljohnson2922]

Thanks for the review. Looks like a great bike. There’s no good reason to not have cruise control in 2022.

[@pontypete7357]

idiot! when your wrist aches after two hours on any bike, or you need to simply drift through the countryside enjoying the sun and views! cruise control should be on every bike!

[@hermanstokbrood]

@@pontypete7357 Calling something idiot without thinking seems idiot to me. Some people don't want to pay for features they don't use. At this price Triumph had to cut corners. I think they made the right decisions.

[@robhall5622]

@@hermanstokbrood They could have offered it as an option though. Or swapped it for the rain mode code.

[@hermanstokbrood]

@@robhall5622 Yes they could made it an option. I don't think swapping the rainmode has the equal costs. But again, it's all about making choices. You can't keep everyone happy when you make compromises.

[@michaeljohnson2922]

Clearly Potty Pete has problems. Regardless. I’ve been riding for close to 40 years now, I’m a plumber and my shoulders and wrist are in very bad shape. Us older people who have beat up bodies need to rest our numb fingers and sometimes need to relieve that feeling every 20 minutes depending on speed, wind etc. with throttle by wire, expensive TFT dashes and at these prices it’s ridiculous not to have cruise control.

[@Banditmanuk]

A great review Dan. Think Triumph have got the class leading bike here. For many one up riders it would be all you need to go touring. Some amazing roads out there.

[@BillyHey72]

I was beginning to wonder if any UK based KZbinrs had made it to Portugal! Great review Dan, it certainly looks like a nice bike. I'm looking forward to my test ride, although maybe not quite the same as yours, since it'll be in Scotland in January. Got a deposit down on one of the first 15 to arrive at my local dealer. My first big bike since passing my test in October (in fact, my first bike period).

[@Englishbikerdan]

That's going to be a bit chilly! 😆

[@BillyHey72]

@@MauriceTarantulas I actually went to the Honda dealer with every intention of ordering a 2022 CB500X, but I made the mistake of going into the Triumph dealer next door first and before I knew it I'd put down a deposit. My head still says change my mind and go with the Honda, with its 80+MPG, and more sensible 47BHP for my first bike (also £2k cheaper!) but...

[@wl660]

@@BillyHey72 I think you have made a great choice. I have the Trident, first big bike for 30 years, the Rain Mode and 600 mile run in period will give you time to get used to it. I wish the Tiger Sport was around when I ordered, but I love my Trident. You will have a blast - recommend the Quickshifter (best fitted at first service). Have fun.

[@dondle2]

@@BillyHey72 The 500X would have been a much wiser choice. With road 5 tyres fitted the 2K saving would have paid for a couple of free years biking fun for free.

[@KLRmurdercycle]

I'm definitely going to try and test this. Great looking machine, prefer the blue, would probably get a shorter windshield. Buffeting just doesn't bother me. Great you can turn crutches off. I like the old fashion throttle lock type cruise control anyways. Put some barkbusters on, big blocks, and slay some gravel roads in between crossing the country😙👌 Way more excited for this bike than the flagship Tiger😄

Lovely review. Thanks for another great video. How would you rate this against the GSX S1000GT that you reviewed recently? I'm considering both of these bikes for my fairly long commute to work (motorway and city riding involved)

[@humandroid53]

Pretty different in terms of performance! The GSX would eat the Triumph. However the Triumph would be lighter, easier around town, more economical and cheaper.

[@SvanbergSimon]

I noticed alot of heat coming from the engine on this one. The buttons lacked a tactile feel and the screen requires some force to adjust. Other than that a great package. Certainly a peppy engine.

[@jonathanwardle2052]

Just test rode one , loads of heat off engine especially gear change side , been 29°s degrees today tho 🤔

[@thormusique]

Absolutely breathtaking, thanks!

[@Englishbikerdan]

Thank you for watching!

[@_Makanko_]

I love that 660 triple engine but was never a fan of the Trident looks. These looks are nice, I really like that part. As many have said, if you're catering for a (light) sports tourer, CC, a better screen, having a centerstand would have been awesome. If only Triumph would do the the trifecta, also putting that engine in a sportsbike chassis, that would be awesome (like Aprillia have done with their 660). But not like how they built that ST RR. Highly doubt that will happen but one can hope. Cheers!

Kul namn: ”Nicke Nyfiken” Greetings from sunny tropical Thailand, where u you also find a TRIUMPH factory. Located between Bangkok and Pattaya seaside resort town. Here’s our BikeSanooK Bonneville review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV7GdntqhcqYock

[@MrAndrew1953]

A centre stand is mandatory on any bike I own, especially if it has a chain- oiling and adjusting, fixing punctures. Sounds like a bike with a lively engine and a frame that handles, good brakes , all at a reasonable price.

[@Mtthwpez]

Hmmm, the lack of a centre stand and no cruise control takes this off of my list, sadly. Might as well save some money and go for a used 800 Tiger, which is something I am thinking about for next year along with a few other bikes. Great review, though. It does look and sound good!

[@merseamoto]

Great review Dan, always enjoy your reviews. Certainly looks like a bike for all needs, which is just what I need. Might have to look at a test ride next year. 😁 Hopefully there may be an aftermarket screen which may be bigger and give you the wind protection needed.

Great review and video Dan !! I was looking for all the specs you comment on and can’t wait to get mine this February or March here in California!!

[@paulfowler6665]

Great review and one I've been waiting for as thinking of replacing my 2 bikes with one that will do everything and this is top of my list. Shame about no cruise control and that screen sounds like the standard one I had on my 2015 Versys which was just terrible for wind blast and noise. Can't wait to try one now though. I'm also same height as you and was concerned if it would be too tall for me but it doesn't sound like it. Nice one🙂

[@splodge57]

Great bike at a good price. Triumph really have cracked it with the styling, fit and finish.

[@haydos21]

Hey mate, how would you compare this to the Tiger 850 Sport? In Australia there's only a couple of thousand $ price difference

[@Englishbikerdan]

It's better on road than my 850. Turns in quicker and is sportier to ride. But my 850 is able to go off road and feels that it would cope with a massive tour better.

[@RiderReviews]

Great video Dan! Nice roads and weather too. I was probably getting wet and cold on a muddy road in Norfolk when you filmed this 🤣. Cheers Jake.

[@NM-Collection]

Sounds powerful but not enough. I saw one video with Akrapovic muffler installed and it started to sound amazing. 👌

[@Englishbikerdan]

Nice!

[@jasonmananquil8040]

which do you think is better mate? sport tiger 660 or cb500x? as an all rounder bike. commuting / touring / dirt riding

[@Englishbikerdan]

The Tiger Sport has no off road bias, so if you want dirt riding the 500X is the bike to choose. However, the Tiger Sport 660 is the better road bike, but it is also more expensive too.

[@r-g-s]

Great review! Just one question. Does this get quick shifter as an option, too?

[@robbo8099]

Great review as always, however you only compared it to the Trident. I am considering changing to a Tiger, but which is better, the 660 Sport or 850 Sport? Cost and specs are not massively different so if the 660 would have been available last year, would you have still bought the 850?

[@simonthecarpenter4203]

Great question but you’ll never get a definitive answer. As much as I enjoy Dans reviews he does like to sit on the fence……

[@Englishbikerdan]

Because its such a subjective question. What works for me might not work for you.

[@Englishbikerdan]

The 660 is more suited to the road but is smaller. The 850 can go off road but feels like it would cope better doing massive distances in comfort. Best bet, test ride both!

[@grayjohn1906]

Robbo. I'd recommend the Tiger 1050 sport over the 660 or 850. The 1050cc triple engine is an absolute peach, rider modes cruise control etc. A touch dated with an LCD dash, if TFT is important to you? And would be a 2020 model as no longer in production. It's also a great bike for carrying pillion and Givi luggage make it a great sport tourer.

[@Ritalie]

So they didn't completely ruin the engine by switching to a flat plane crank on the 660, as they did with the 850, 900 and 1200 series? The 660 sound glassy smooth and refined. Maybe it's just because has a quiet exhaust, but it sure sounds clean and refined. OMG the 660 sounds so awesome... Ughh. I wish they had not ruined that beautiful triple scream by making the larger bikes into "flat plane" crank engines. The bigger engines sound lumpy and coarse in comparison. This video is pure music. That 660 engine is heavenly!

[@Englishbikerdan]

T Plane is a personal preference. I prefer the T crank of my 850 than the 800.

[@petertaylor2148]

Best video man, I loved watching the ride, listening to that engine 👌 One question, would it wheelie out of a slow corner, say in 2nd gear.. Would it power lift the front wheel 🤔 ? Atm for me it's either this 660.. Or the multistrada v2 Much more money but .. let's see , I can be happy with the 660.. it has to perform though Buying a bike isn't about the money it's about is the bike fun .. !

[@robhall5622]

Great review, and a lovely bike, but once you start speccing it up it's a very short hop to the Tiger 850. Do you think the 850 is worth the smallish differential, or does the 660 now make the 850 a bit redundant?

[@Englishbikerdan]

Don't forget you'd also need to spec the 850 up so that gap in price would persist. The 850 is a different bike, big front wheel that can go off road (it comes with road/dirt tyres) and it's a much bigger machine. I see them occupying different spaces in the market so room for both. The 660 was much better doing pure road riding and isn't designed with any off road ability.

[@robhall5622]

@@Englishbikerdan Good point on the size difference, hadn't noticed the 850 was significantly longer, although the lower seat as standard and similar weight suggest (on the spec sheet at least) that they might be similarly approachable. Will have to ride them back to back next year.

Just slap on a screen and some side cases, and you're good to go forever. With no buffeting! 👌 Styling wise: This bike adds nothing new to the market, and i think Triumph should have taken a different route. 👉 The trident will always look special. This won't.
