2025 Triumph Trident 660 Triple Tribute walk around and quick thoughts

[@MrPavlyuchenko]

I picked mine up on Tuesday. Absolutely loving it so far, such a nimble and fun bike in all situations. Makes me smile while heading into work :)

[@lateralus9244]

My girlfriend's daughter has the silver ice and red version. It was my favorite color for the Triumph 660 until I saw the limited edition colors -- now, I like those even more. The Trident is really a great bike, hardly anything to complain about!

[@braddavies5476]

I am awaiting mine...this is like being 10 years old on December 15th, thanks for posting this video of yours

[@christianburger25]

Had my Trident for a year now. Got around 2500 miles so far. It's very easy to ride and has fun power. Recommend some bar end mirrors as the stock ones show mostly your arms. Love that new color scheme! I have the silver/red one myself

[@rambleround]

I definitely agree on the mirrors, they aren’t horrible or anything but my arms do block some of them off

[@Striker50_]

I was SUPER close to buying. Ended up going with a Street Triple 765 R Thanks for uploading!

[@TOTOisHere625]

How do you like the street triple r and why didn’t you buy the rs (not that you should)?

[@Striker50_]

@@TOTOisHere625 Brotherrrrrr it's been 5 weeks and they still haven't delivered it to me. Crazy. I got it $10K OTD with delivery out of state RS is nice but I couldn't find any deals on them

[@amygardiner2278]

Very nice walkaround video!. Thinking of buying one. I currently have a Speed Twin 900, which I love, but I, too, miss having a sportbike. Old retired corporate pilot & flight instructor here. Best of luck with your flight training! Remember, always expect the unexpected. And never say, "If such-and-such happens"--e.g., the engine quits, the vis drops, the door pops open on takeoff, etc.--"I will do this. . ." Say instead "WHEN the engine quits, I will do this . . ." And if it doesn't quit or you don't hit that bird, you'll simply be pleasantly surprised. That small level of mental preparation can save you valuable time in an emergency. Works for bikes, too. Just passing along advice from the late Chas Harral, uber flight instructor. Thanks for the video. It helped me really see the bike. And those model characteristics you mentioned are something to keep in mind. Fly/ride safe! Subscribing.

[@yogi2826]

It's absolutely gorgeous! Congrats and enjoy it! I m pleasantly surprised by your positive remarks, especially after all your experience with other bikes.!

[@rambleround]

Thanks! I’ll probably do a follow up of several after getting some more time on it.

[@terzicem]

came for the bike, subbed and liked for the bike, 100% waiting for the chickens

[@rambleround]

Been super busy the past couple weeks, gonna post some randomness, and chickens soon!

[@kR-we9gi]

I've got 650 miles on my triple tribute and I have no complaints. Not a beginner bike. Rain mode is even pretty fast. Trying to master the quick shifter...getting there. Crazy fast shifts!

[@rambleround]

@@kR-we9gi yeah, I’m getting pretty used to the quick shifter about 1200 miles in. I think my favorite use of it is going in and out of corners, the downshifts are so smooth.

[@l4tn3m]

I've had my Tribute Edition for about 3 weeks and it is already going in for its 1000km service. It's my first bike and I absolutely love it. The throttle is super friendly for a beginner.

[@user-wz2ex7ux9h]

Excellent review, man. Thanks.

[@rianunderdown1524]

At last, I’ve been waiting for a video to come out on the triple tribute. Be great to hear it fire up on the next one.

[@rambleround]

Thanks, I’ll take that is to consideration and fire it up on the next video, it’s stock so lots of videos out there on the exhaust sound, I will say I was also pleasantly surprised there, it’s a bit louder than expected and sounds good.

[@karsteng1809]

getting my Trident Tribute Edition this week :D

[@kR-we9gi]

Have fun and be careful. These things are fast on rain mode

[@marccarne2475]

Hi from Australia! Thanks for making this video. Likewise, I could not find anything that showed off the bike in person. I've just purchased one - hoping for delivery mid June. Have spent the past 6 months on a KTM Duke 200, which was great to build confidence. Thanks again for the video and look forward to seeing more from you 👍

[@rambleround]

Awesome, thanks and enjoy your new bike! Definitely looks great in person.

[@andrishardins5984]

I bought my Trident 2 years ago, already managed to ride 16000+ km. It is also my very first motorcycle after geting my license. I installed also all the guards and quickshifter before it came out of dealership. I disagree on not being a good new rider bike. Like I said it is my very first morocycle and I got used to it very fast. Maybe it is because I was also learning to ride on MT-07 and CB650R while getting my license and exam bike is also those two. I don't feel any laggy throttle, but that could be because I am new rider. Suspension also feels fine. After riding for one season I also installed heated grips for some colder days/ evenings/ nights.

[@user-aerodelax]

I get my license last week (trained on cb650R) and get this edition trident 660 next week. I count the days :D . Greetings from Berlin, Germany.

[@rambleround]

@@user-aerodelax congratulations, enjoy your new bike!

[@aryencas]

Amazing machine, congrats. I will send you a pick of mine when I get it.

[@rambleround]

Awesome, I took my wife out for a ride yesterday for lunch, bike does well 2 up. Another exceeded expectation!

[@robertreed9255]

Thanks for the info. I’m picking up my Triple Tribute from Hermy’s tomorrow - maybe I’ll see you on the roads of Central PA.

[@rambleround]

Awesome, wait till you see it outside in the sun! So pretty!

[@Lazymofoprepper2]

Congrats, I just bought a brand new 2023 last night, freshly assembled, and had to get inspected today. I'm hoping I can ride it out of the dealer today, I'm very anxious. Apparently the owners had ordered a ton of the 2023 models, that didn't sell. So I got basically the same bike but for $2k cheaper. Looks like yours already had some upgrades added to it and looks really nice.

[@rambleround]

Awesome, enjoy your new bike!

[@pilotoviajante]

Nice bike, go ahead doing videos with this peace of art!

[@rambleround]

Thanks, will do!

[@ivanrubiales5530]

Nice video and nice bike. But I wonder if it is really a 2025 model. In theory, the 2025 brought as nowelties the cruise control as standard, the 3th riding mode (sport), and the 6 axes central brain that controls traction and abs in corners. Because would be lovely to have those improvements with the limited edition colour you enjoy

[@drsmith751]

Hermy’s is great. I got my Trident from them as well.

[@smashml1708]

Im thinking of getting this version. Looks nice 👌

[@DavidGamble-rj4fn]

That’s a beauty I’m Thinking of purchasing one of these

[@rambleround]

Thanks, would definitely suggest going to ride a trident, very happy with it so far!

[@512Chaos]

I'm about to get the same one, thanks for the video very helpful - we are about the same size, but I'm 48 and returning to the road after 25 years. Just did my MSF earlier this year and planned on a smaller bike (Husqy 401) to get back in but i think at this age i'm fine slipping back into the middleweight and specifically this one. I hope i'm right about that.

[@rambleround]

@@512Chaos I just broke 1000 miles today, this bike is a total sweetheart, really fun usable power, absolutely love it still. Zero complaints

[@512Chaos]

@@rambleround Thanks, I put my deposit down on Saturday and it should be sent up here in the next week.

[@SuperRider-RS]

bike becomes a monster with tune, i had it on zard...missing it

[@tanaypande8003]

Loved the video. The colors on the bike came out way better than how they featured it in the official videos. What other bikes did you had in consideration before going for this? I am torn between the trident and the ninja 650, yet to ride either of the bikes.

[@rambleround]

I was considering going to look at an MT07 or CB650. Also considered buying a slightly used bigger bike, either a street triple 765 or Ducati scrambler. I have almost 400 miles on it and it’s been flawless so far, still very happy with it.

[@sethzweig8802]

Regarding the rear shock... I found that mine softened up just enough after about 1000 miles.

[@rambleround]

Good to know

[@JHood-fl3ih]

Great looking bike. I've been eyeballing this model recently. Curious...how much more is the tribute edition over the standard?

[@rambleround]

It’s actually the lowest priced trident tied with the plain sapphire black model.

[@tomd8313]

Does that silly plate assembly get wiped out on 12:00 Wheelies?

[@rambleround]

@@tomd8313 Ha! I couldn’t tell you, no plans to rip any dank nooners on this bike

@@tomd8313 thanks!

[@isaac_a]

Thanks for posting this! I'm actually local and contacted Hermeys just a few hours ago. Can I ask what your OTD was?

[@rambleround]

@@isaac_a With the build fee, taxes, tag, notary stuff, and financing it, it was just shy ok 10k OTD. That was with the 8595 MSRP

[@isaac_a]

Wow that's not bad at all! I just got taken advantage of yesterday. Thanks for the reply.

[@williandelucca]

i´m gonna buy one here in brazil...do some videos ripping it please, thankyou

[@samsuh]

what would you ride at your age/size/weight as a first bike if this is not recommended as a first bike?

[@rambleround]

@@samsuh it really depends on your skill level, can you elaborate a little more? What I mean by that is that someone who is say, an avid mountain bike rider, or grew up riding dirt bikes every weekend will have skills someone else will not.

[@marianmarian4067]

Widziałeś ogon evotech performance? Mam założony w swoim tridencie. Moim zdaniem wygląda świetnie.

[@romariano71]

your front tire is differnt with mine?

[@rambleround]

It’s the standard Michelin road 5 they come with. Maybe just the angle or view on video?

[@moviedemocom]

Hey, PA guy. My 1989 honda Tranalps is showing it's age finally and I am looking for a new bike. Ex wife cleaned me out so I need something affordable. Looking at this bike rn. How was it riding w passenger. New gf loves bikes and I want to take her out

[@rambleround]

@@moviedemocom I have spent about two hours with my wife on the back and it was pretty good, obviously the passenger seat is on the smaller side, I’m 6’ and she’s 5’10” and we fit on it pretty well

[@adolfgerhardhermann5952]

Does it start?

[@rambleround]

Didn’t think to start it in this video, I’ll throw a cold start short video up soon.

[@colindeans5972]

It's 2024 fella. The throttle lag is awful. Sold mine at 500 miles because of it.
