2024 Triumph Trident 660 RE-RIDE and Review!

[@Junbi]

Just picked it up as my first bike today! I'm 28 and a truck driver, so I was definitely nervous starting with a 660 instead of the 400 I wanted but couldn't find in stock ANYWHERE. Immediately on my first ride from the dealership home, my nerves were completely calmed. I'm so happy I ended up with this rather than starting on a 400 just to serve as my first bike. I'm keeping this bike forever

[@ethanbisker2478]

Love this machine. More people would still be riding if they started on the right bike.

[@Motoguy91]

Bought one as my first bike and love it. Perfect bike to start on. 13k miles in. Kept in rain mode for a week and haven’t used it since. Perfect for commuting as well as twisty canyon roads.

[@bryandembie866]

I did the exact same thing. You really do notice the difference too once you take it out of rain mode. So it’s perfect to get used to the power in rain mode and you’ll know what to expect once you go to road mode for the first time

[@aaronhooper7514]

This is my first bike at 24 years old and honestly it’s been perfect. Very confidence inspiring and enough power to give you some of the laugh to yourself moments you want as a motorcyclist. Highly recommend

But if I was younger and more fearless, this bike has plenty of power to get ya in trouble. 6’0” and 250lbs and I fit perfectly fine riding it. Plan on enjoying it for many more years.

The Trident was my first bike after being without a bike for 17 years and I remain appreciative that it had a forgiving throttle. After 9 months and 2,000 miles I traded to a 765 Street Triple R and I absolutely love it, but I still have very fond memories of the Trident - it's a great bike.

[@Kee_Diddy]

I'm 32 and only getting older. Thinking about the Trident or the STR. I like being able to just chill on a bike and cruise without my back getting sore. What do you think?

[@JDP-we9hk]

@@Kee_Diddy Neither is a cruiser per se, but they both have an upright riding position - the Trident slightly more so. My back is not great but neither aggravated it at all. The placement of the foot pegs is slightly sporty but I don't find it bothersome, and I'm 6-3. Frankly for $1,500-2,000 more the Striple R is the buy if you like it.

The Trident 660 was my first bike ever 2 years ago. It wasn't particularly intimidating and it is so light I got comfortable quickly. I dont feel a huge desire to replace it now that Ive been riding for awhile, i still think its the right bike for me now

[@l4tn3m]

I've had my Trident 660 for 5 days and it is my first bike as well. I love it, very comfortable and easy ride. I've already done several hundred kilometers on it.

[@smoke1215]

Dude same, it was a lot at first even coming from fairly fast cars, but it was the right choice if handled responsibly.

[@maverick0716]

Could that lack of throttle response have something to do with the break in tuning? I heard that it gets "unlocked" after the first service.

[@SuperSpruce]

I test rode this bike last week after putting 1500 miles on my first motorcycle (Suzuki GZ250). The biggest thing that I noticed was how FAST it accelerated! I was doing 75% throttle pulls in 2nd on my test ride and it was so exhilarating. It was as if I was riding the most fun rollercoaster in an amusement park except I had full control over the ride. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE

[@AllboroLCD]

The bike will NOT operate to FULL capacity until the first break in service is registered into the ECU, till then the tach will just blink after 5k rpm or so

[@StyleknightKoi]

Ok,still want to know what a beginner thinks after buying a 660 trident SE 2025 model? I realize I’m about 9 months late chiming in on your interest. I’m 52 years old, it’s basically my first motorcycle purchase and this is a beast of a machine, was told at the dealership it’s beginner friendly. It’s in Rain mode, and I do not actually have enough hours logged in yet, so take this with a grain of salt. She’s cocky and needs to be respected! But I love it! Beautiful bike, and love the sound she makes. I named her after an ex girlfriend 25 years ago (Sherry )to remind me that nothing last forever and to not take anything for granted. It’s a love hate relationship that I want to grow into!

[@ParthPatel]

I'm 31, bought a Trident 660 as my first motorcycle in March, and it's been super beginner friendly! I've taken it on a lengthy road trip, up in the twisties, and have taken it to work a few times

[@joseph9556]

I think you owe the cbr/cb650r a revisit as well. A tuned 21+ if possible

[@danielwest8414]

I bought a Trident as my first bike about 3 months ago. Absolutely love it and super happy with my purchase. I have a good amount of experience with faster cars and I think that helped me not feel too intimidated by the Trident's power. I would have gotten bored with a 400 in a week!

[@BkxNasseh]

This was the comment I was looking for 🤘🏾 I feel like I’d get the hang of the 400 and want to do more than it’s capable of

[@mozeby1975]

My first bike. I’m 6’1 and about 230 so a smaller beginner bike was too small. This class is where I needed to start to be comfortable and this bike was the most modern at the time I bought it (Nov ‘21). Pretty progressive throttle, easy handling and good looks. Hard choice over the XSR700 but more features swung me. Added an exhaust and the sound is miles better than any parallel twin in this class.

[@matthewfilmoe9899]

I got a trident when I was 19, been riding since I was 16. id say it would be a good bike to move onto when you've gotten all the basics down off riding so that your confident enough to use it to its full potential.

[@lloyd324]

Had my first season on a motorcycle at 35 this year. Went for a 2016 Street Triple 675R and have not regretted it for a second. Granted it was a bit hairy the first days, but the licensing process in Norway is pretty thorough. Did that on a heavy F800GS, some was done on a Z650 as well. Have done 15K km from june to oktober, looking at sprockets and chain at the moment, but maybe I'm better of looking at the 2023 Street Triple RS... Do you ship to NO? Hehe. Also spent a week in Austria/Italy on a Duke 890(rental) doing mountain passes, I'm going back next year with my own bike.

[@512Chaos]

I ordered a '24 Svart based on this channel, i got tired of waiting last week cancelled that and ordered a '25 Trident Triple Tribute. Been re-watching all of your Trident videos in prep.

[@512Chaos]

Been riding it for just over a week, it's fantastic :)

[@R-Tap]

Here in Ireland I purchased my TT as my 1st and learner bike. As a Noob I never noticed the throttle issue and still don't. Handles lovely, really treats me nicely as I build confidence, learn to ride slow and fast. Mine is orange with bar end mirrors and a quick shift. Gets great looks for people and guys in bigger Triumph'. The engine sounds great now I can cane it after its 1st service. Learner +, for the older guy....... I am 50 years old.

I'd not ridden a bike for about 40 years and decided to take my test. Then got a Trident. I'd say it was perfect for me. Been riding it since June this year. Do feel now like I need the Street Triple RS! But love the Trident it's such a fun ride.

[@jimdillon534]

Love my Trident... not my first bike (actually my 4th) but it's perfect for the commute to work, enough snap to get in and out of traffic, and great on short to mid-length weekend rides. Great looking, smooth and well appointed... perfect "dad bike"!

[@99boomerboomer]

I bought the Trident this past spring as my first bike. I'm late to the game at 54, but I'm really happy I didnt go with a smaller displacement as I was tempted to do. Anyone over 6 feet should look elsewhere, in my opinion. Great cycle though!

[@randyhampton4906]

I’m 39 and bought the 660 as my first bike. I found it manageable and easy to slowly push the bike as I get more comfortable.

[@shotgunspree2228]

I really wish this review came out sooner. I sold my sportster to get into a sportier class of bike because a harley was never what i wanted. At first i really wanted an xsr900 from yamaha but I thought even if i could FIND one, it might be too much power for me. I watched a few videos of the Trident and thought it was neat and the perfect middle ground between the xsr700 and xsr900. But some reviews were so polar opposite I just glanced over this bike. Dont get me wrong, I love my xsr700. Its black with the gold wheels and it sounds pretty good with the leo vince exhaust. But with this more genuine review it wouldve given me more to consider, and mightve changed my decision.

[@nightster15]

It’s also a solid bike to travel on. Luggage space is limited but very doable. Took mine from Iowa to Yosemite in California and back too Iowa. Tank bag, back pack, and tent and sleeping back strapped too the passenger pillion.

[@gregstewart9654]

I am 64 years old and have had motorbikes since I was 4. This is one of the most enjoyable bikes that I have owned. I totally agree with you about the low speed ergonomics that you mentioned. I have to use the clutch more at very low speeds when cold as it feels lumpy and even sounds like it could stall when practicing my figure 8 in carparks with cold motor. However after 30 minutes of riding the lumpiness seems to go away. Maybe it just needs to run at higher temps. Mid range is responsive and confidence inspiring. Cornering through twisters is Childs play.

[@shaunmadness]

I've about 16 years riding. My first was a '80 XJ550. 2nd was a '74 CB705K. All that was NYC and Los Angeles. Now I'm in the mountain hills of Western NC. So, I'm looking for a really fun mountain and country bike. Not too much freeway. If at all, probably an hour at most. Anyway, I like your review. I'm 5'11 at 145. This fits my budget, seems to be a lot of fun. 5k is my budget and I can get a 2022-2023 with less that a couple k miles. Where a ninja or whatever is a couple k more and maybe 2021. Rambling is over, thanks!

[@deanleszman2300]

I bought a Trident 660 as my first "big boy bike". At 25 years old, I did my CBT and had a Ninja 125 for about 5 months then passed my full test and went straight to the Trident. I've still got it and find it's a fantastic bike. I have been somewhat window shopping, test riding other bikes and looking at getting something with a bit more power but the Trident really sits in a sweet spot of price/performance for me. If I were to splash the cash, I think I would go for the Speed Triple 1200 RS or the MT-10.

[@dante8s]

It’s my first bike, absolutely love riding it, and the quick shifter is a lovely touch. Only reason I want a different bike at this point is for something with some more wind protection for my daily commute and a more sporty/modern look. I thought I’d like the retro look more than I do, still beautiful but not for me. Would recommend it to any beginner with some discipline. I bought it used, I’m 27 with my only prior motorcycle experience being a dirt bike at age 7. If you love the look just get one! If the throttle bothers you, go get a tune!

[@agnwstos1212]

if you like the engine..then test ride the tiger 660 to see if it fits you

[@dante8s]

@@agnwstos1212since it’s my first bike I’d try to get something completely different so I can experience different engine’s characteristics and styles. My wife has an R3 so I’m leaning more towards an in-line 4 or a parallel twin with a 270 degree crank. Something completely new. I could see myself coming back to that or a Daytona 660 if they ever make something like that if I miss it enough.

[@tridentyyz1031]

I think that your new found excitement over the bike may have to do with the recall fix on the bike. The fix has improved the engine braking (there's less now), and the shift points on the bike seem higher than they were before.

[@calvinbarriga195]

First road bike. I started on dirt. I put 8000 miles on it so far and love it. It’s a great bike especially here in Colorado. I even do some camping with it, which can be difficult. I wouldn’t suggest it as a first bike, but if you have good body control and self control I think a cautious person would be fine.

[@EchoSixMike]

I think this is a good first bike for "adults" or younger people with good self control.

Im looking hard at this as my 2nd bike. Moving on from my Harley Iron 883 and Harely altogether although I know im gonna miss the sound and feel of my Iron so it's super hard for me to let it go but I just dont have room for 2 bikes nor the financial means to maintain 2 at once.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I think it looks like an awesome bike... Do you think the off idle throttle response could somehow have a plus side to it, especially for newer riders? Personally, I can't imagine buying a bike without fairings and a wind screen but that is what fits my personal taste and situation as I live rural and 99% of riding would be 2 lane mountain highways and longer trips, with only a little driving in city traffic kinds of situations... Cheers

[@andylubetkin6579]

About to turn 60 and decided to get back into motorcycling. I've never been an aggressive rider but my last bike was an fj1200 (2 decades ago). I'm tempted by this bike and the light weight appeals to me. But I'm also tempted by the Speed Twin. I feel I might end up upgrading to the Speed Twin after 6 months riding the Trident. Torn between going for the Speed Twin now or trying this out and seeing if I'm satisfied. Is it comfortable for 1 and 2 hour highway cruising ?

[@matteoperuzzi184]

Look, the bike’s a fantastic entry level, but the thing is it was thought for the european market for the A2 license category. So everyone that buys the bikes has almost 100% went trought 50cc’s and 125cc’s by that point so yeah, it’s a beginner but just by european standards

[@haywoodjazzpiano3108]

When ever anybody says “ I really don’t think this is a beginner bike “ then I think to myself - this is my beginner bike 😂 . But seriously I love the look of the Trident and all of the reviews are great. I’ll be taking my test in the next few months and I’m pretty sure this is the one . ( other choice being the CB650r) I like the look of this one better though.

[@GentielioGaming]

I believe that bike has a "rain" mode that holds the power back i believe. Why not leave at rain mode for beginners?? Then when your confident turn it off.

[@imorgil]

I got it as my first big bike (A2) license. 2 months in, reprogrammed it with a DNK tuneworks, and added full yoshimura AT2 system plus K&N air filter. Im telling you, just repro that ECU, it becomes a MONSTER. you cant experience the real Triumph trident potential without an ECU repro.

[@cameroncrawford332]

This is my first bike, got it about 6 months ago. I still have it, I still ride it. It's my only bike. I love it. Its a super easy bike to start on, it has some stuff to help you as a beginner rider. It also has some good power to have some fun on. It's peppy and has torque to have fun on, but nothing too crazy. If you don't respect the bike, it'll still teach you to respect it. Traction control and ABS come in super handy for all those random sketchy times. The throttle does take some getting used to, but doing an ECU flash will get rid of that. Love the bike!

Hi. Since you asked in your video, I’m 55y old. Rode a 100 cc bike 30 yrs ago n after retirement chose to buy the Trident 660. I’ve ridden 14000 odd kms in 16 months n have I been happier…no! It’s a fantastic bike n fits my bill perfectly. I’m 5’6” tall/short, but the bikes been great, both in n out of the city. The only problem I’ve faced is the low ground clearance. In india, roads aren’t that great n bumps irregular, hit the bottom couple times. Also, I’ve never faced the problem with the throttle at idle, which u mentioned. Mine revs right up at a cold start. Ciao. 😊

Yes it’s too big to start on. If you’re new to riding stick with 400cc for a couple years and then go bigger. Too many KZbinrs are marketing mid level bikes to beginners which is flat out irresponsible.

[@westhompson2118]

I passed my full licence 10 years ago (UK) but didn’t get around to buying a bike until 2 years ago (age 44). I chose the Trident 660 as it ticked all the boxes. Enough power to be fun, but sensible enough for the daily commute. I definitely would not use this bike for touring as my biggest criticism is the seat as I find it incredibly uncomfortable….I bought a Sahara gel seat cover and now it’s bearable for about an hour and a half. Personally, if I’d bought this bike in my 20s I think it would have been too much bike for my first bike as my road craft wasn’t as good as it is now. I think it’s a great bike and would happily keep it or upgrade to another Triumph, but after recently getting ripped off by my local dealership £290 for an oil change, I’m looking at getting a 2024 MT-09sp.

[@MarissaTheMuse]

Here’s the thing. The screen is all you need. I like the roadster view. THERE ARENT 37 MODES, tech accessories to dial in, GPS etc etc. So what’s the bigger screen needed for?? It’s like having a LCD on the Ninja 400. It literally serves no purpose but to be a box checked off on the spec sheet & for marketing to make a big deal about. You’ll still only ever use it to glance the speed & revs & gas status though

[@gennadykupava5666]

I started riding because during covid it was impossible to do car exams. Bought electic 5kw bike. It was amazing in fact. 2 years of commuting and I decided to pass full exam. months of hard work to do that, and I faced challenge of selecting bike. I am a guy who buys something, get used to it, slow learning. Especially slow as I fall on my electric one which has no ABS during the rain. So month got after LOTS of thinking and watching review, got trident 660 as first real bike. It is much heavier, much harder to commute on it, but.... now I waiting for every tomorrow to get to office =)) Now I understand how crazily lucky i was that I bought this one. Got heated grips, all possible guards. tracking system, givi topbox, all at like 66% price of new, 3000 miles on speedometer. ABS, rain mode, and really nice wheels give me real confident and I do not afraid that much to ride in a rain. So in 1 month I already got 400 miles on speedometer =) Already had first motorway riding in my life. Was full with emotions. Already ABS saved me once on wet asphalt. Been moving on bus line where traffic stall and there was a guy turning into side road, so I instinctively pushed front brake too hard. On my old bike that would be fail and fall. You never know on wet asphalt in December how far you could push a brakes. It also already fall, was turning in dark and wet, and saw guy also suddenly attempting to turn into road where I am and so I decided to sort of slow down. Unfortunately bike was little bit lean, and given i had to hold clutch it start falling and I was not quick enough to understand it is falling, so I just relatively gently put it to the asphalt. That cost me braking lever, because it seems to be designed to break in such case. So also had my first repair work, bought new lever and installed it. Was super easy, but parts cost quite a bit. Only annoyance for me is this instability of revs on low speeds, given speed limits in the city (20mph/30mph) you see revs are 'unstable'. But sitting on it.... It is extremely comfortable. I feel like I was sitting on it for my entire life. If course it is HARD to commute on this, I am sure there are lots of things on what it is VERY HARD to commute =), but vs my old (140kg) electric bike, doing any maneuver on slow speed in traffic is like visiting gym. So where i would for sure squeeze on that, I find myself thinking, 'oh hell, i will wait a bit more in line i do not really want to move this thingy now' Yeah, and I am 42 today. Yeah, and it is nice I could stand 2 legs easily, 174cm height.

[@seppo7531]

I got the 2023 baja orange as my first ever bike in August 2023. I'm 188cm (6'2") and 32 years old and I'm loving it. Been riding all autumn, winter and now into the spring. It is borderline small for my size, but even on the longer 6hr rides I've done I've not had any complaints. It works super well for me both for commutes and longer rides. The lack of the mt07 "punch" that is often mentioned as criticism for the trident I would argue makes me feel safer on the trident and makes it more beginner friendly. I don't feel as scared as I'm never really surprised. If I want to go faster I can, but I don't accidentally jerk og overdo anything. I'm also certain the traction control in rain mode has saved me once early on in my first 2ish weeks.

I am contemplating getting a Trident after around 10years of riding mostly an 07 cbr600rr (had a Yamaha Vmax and a Dualsport Suzuki). Love the looks, the 80's hp seems the sweet spot for me.. just have to find one to test ride it and see if it actually it is what i think it is.. a bike i can be on the stopper through the first 3-4 gears , and have a blast

Man that 3 cylinder whistle is everything. I don’t understand why triumph wouldn’t carry over that characteristic.

[@ugosivocci719]

Is my first "big" bike. I've made 7.300kms so far and i can't imagine riding something else. I'm in a stage to be hable to ride something more powerfull...but for what? Beat the 750 or more? I don´t need that. I think i bouth the perfect bike to soon :)

[@nielspiersma2950]

Bought it last year, hoping to pass my exam on Wednesday. Looking forward to riding the bike next week. Main reason, I wanted a triple cylinder.

[@samrichardson9785]

Was my first bike, was a bit scary at first, def didn’t have those skills I needed, i but I had it for 1.5 years 8k miles later , was inbetween street triple and zx6r, went with zx6r 2024 at 2 k miles got in august, man you mentioned the on and off throttle , idk why but my zx6r so twitchy comparatively, love hitting the twisties on it man. 31 yes old now, so I guess I was 29 when I got it

[@switcherlp780]

I would be seriously considering this as my next bike, but the dealership that was in Little Rock, AR decided to be a typical sales outlet and close down due to shenanigans. Took the Ducati dealership with it too, and I think the Aprilia also. Would absolutely LOVE to win it as the looks, power delivery, and overall existence fit what I am looking for, just wish it had cruise as I highway. So yeah, sorry for all you entrants who are losing to me on this lol.

My first bike at 27. Ran into the MAP sensor issue two weeks after buying it. Was at the shop for two months waiting on parts. Then after a few months of commuting I learned it wasn’t good for straight highway commuting for me. Going to be getting a CFM 700 CLX soon.

First bike. Bought it a year ago. 2023 model. It’s my daily driver here in San Diego, CA. I feel safe and at home when I’m riding. I agree with the throttle. It’s not exciting in first gear but I love working through traffic on my way home from work. I think I’ll keep it for awhile to be honest and I hope to teach my wife how to ride one day on it.

I purchased the Trident 660 back in February. Previous experience ridden and done some racing on off-road bikes. Had exotic 2 stroke sports road motorcycles like the Cagiva Mito. However I haven't ridden a bike in 8 years, and only recently got back into biking after such a long break from it. Whilst I agree it may be abit much for a complete beginner. However for someone that's returning to motorcycles after a long break from it, I would really recommend the Triumph Trident to others in a similar situation. Looked at other similar category bikes like the MT07 but I was put off by the front suspension on that bike, even though I prehap's prefer the look of that bike, the Trident made more sense to me. Put over 1000 miles on it over the summer and absolutely love the bike. Riding bikes in the UK you need great handling and Triumph doesn't disappoint.

[@AlliKhat718]

The Trident is my first bike and I still have it. I got it when i was 30-31. The bike is very manageable with some self control. That being said, i wouldn't recommend it for an 18 year old unless they already had dirt experience or something.

[@cmpmendes]

The MT07 doesn't have a "pop" to it. It's an outdated hooligan bike designed 11/12 years ago and being sold as new today when it hasn't changed since it was launched. It's not a starter bike, nowhere near being one.

[@RotaryRich7]

I bought a used 2019 z650 for my first bike honestly i like it but definitely can get you if you arent careful. My next bike is gonna be in the 800-900 class but i also want a adv bike if i decide to go on a long trip

[@ericgreen1079]

trident vs Tiger!?!?! I am getting Tiger this next weekend, will I like it better...!?!????

[@Theoldfart63]

Hi, I bought my Trident back in March, in Adelaide Australia and it's my first bike and love riding it though all around the hills here. I'm a 59 year old Learner rider. 👍

[@XxSNIPERPUR3xX]

I got this for my first bike about 2 months ago. Unfortunately I only had it for about 2 weeks before I had to leave for work for a while. But, the 100 miles I put on it were super enjoyable. I can’t wait to get home and ride it some more. I’m 25 btw with hardly any riding experience besides riding some dirt bikes every now and then.

[@SherifAziz-k3t]

This is my second bike after an R3 that i only had for one season. I am 42 and i started riding at 39 and this could have definitely been my first bike but I thought i liked sport bike looks but love this bike so much.

[@05gt99]

I’m 54 and bought one as my first big bike after having a 125 cc bike for 6 months before passing my test in the UK. I really like it a great first do it all bike. I tried a z650rs but preferred the triumph.
