Triumph Trident 660 vs Triumph Street Triple: Which Should You Buy?

Agreed. All the high horsepower naked bikes have the ugliest fronts now. I was considering going from a full super bike to a naked one since I'm not really going to the track, but 🤮 The every level bikes have a nice, simple front that looks great.

[@KairyuRider]

Here in Japan The Trident is within $200 (U.S.D.) of the street triple s. Sorry to anyone who wants it, brought the last Street Tiple S in 🇯🇵 home with me last night. (Have a video on my channel comparing it)

[@kurushunwalla]

Superb comparison- pros and cons. Thank you! I would rather wait a bit, collect the extra money and pickup the Street Triple. Imagine spending the money on the Trident and six months down the line looking at every ST and feeling I should have bought the ST. A good pre owned 765 could also be better proposition to the Trident. As always, each to his/her own. Cheers

[@kaveiros75]

Still, I cannot understand why did Triumph not use the 765 cc engine, tuned down for more torgue, in the Trident. It would have been a a great bike, even for more experienced riders who simply don't like high-revving engines and also ride with a passenger often.

[@yonniboy1]

I've a 2020 Street Triple R but was really impressed by the Trident, around town the Trident's the better bike and just as fast 0 to 60 mph, IMO it depends what you want the bike for, if you mostly do round town/commuting the Trident is perfect but if you want to push your bike to its potential the Triple R has that top end rush which is addictive.

[@p.chakraborty4453]

I'm just 21 (yes i think that's young), and I've ridden R1,CBR1000RRR-SP, ZH2, Ducati Panigale V4, Daytona 675r, R6, Ninja ZX 10, ninja Zx6, Ninja 300, RE 350,Himalayan,650s, t100, and speed triple, i had owned a R1, but sold it for other reasons and investments, and got a cycle instead of the bike, and now i am looking forward to getting a Trident 660 , or the Triumph Speed triple, cuz even after riding all i have ridden, ( even been to track a few times) is that no matter what, 200hp is not needed , and all these bikes are great, these 200hp r1s , Panigales, e.t.c, are pretty useless from ergonomics, useless low end, in the street what i suggest is the street triple, or the speed triple . The trident is great too. Cuz : Such a beautiful sound , the exhaust sound changes as the rev increases , from sophisticated in the low to the roaring in the high , Mechanically (a mechanical engineer here) , and as a bike enthusiast, 3 Cyls are the best when it comes to power delivery, low end torque + top end rush , and due to triumphs T-plane crankshaft (perfect secondary balance) this thing revs very high for a engine that size , and reaches redline quicker than any I4... I've plenty experience, owned an R1 (sold last year and got a cycle), r6, zx 10r, the busa, Zh2, RSV4, panigale, cbr 1000, and z900 , daytona 675, street triple 675RS, RE bikes,and what not , but i find three cyls the best among inline 4s and 2s (Vs are better ). (Except some radicals i4s ).

0-60 they are a full second apart however that means little in real life traffic especially in the West /East ends =London. Traffic is savage.

[@yonniboy1]

@@raywite6665 You're absolutely right about the street triple being a second faster 0 to 60mph, what I should've said was the Trident feels just as fast (0 to 60) because of the way it revs out so quickly.

[@M-L0DYCAF]

Street triple's expensive and better in performance. I don't know if y'all like it, but that headlight design is a complete turn off, looks just too bad. Fomme I prefer trident 660, compact and attractive 😍

[@tahirsharif9461]

Thanks for the review. Personal choice, but just sold a Street Triple S that was a few years old, had the 765cc engine and it was a brilliant bike to start with. Easy to ride if you keep the revs low, then mental mode with higher revs. If I had to choose between these, I would go with a low mileage 1-2 year old Street Triple - cheaper than the Trident and enough to keep you interested for more years as your skills grow.

[@DR-mq1le]

Hi , I'm getting a very low mileage (about 7000 km ) street triple s 2017 , for a decent price , Im kinda a beginner myself with not much experience, have ridden the street 750 for about a year, I really like the striple but just confused if it'd be too much power, I don't push the bike as much as the roads in my country don't allow that to happen anyways , I can only push a bit on highways

[@jcliggett53]

Nice review. One thing that I never see mentioned in reviews of bikes that are aimed at the new rider segment is that these bikes are also wonderful for older riders who are climbing down from the heights of the power/specs curve and just want to have fun on a bike, and who know how motorcycles should perform and how they should make YOU feel. At 67 years old, I'm not going to do any track days, and I don't necessarily have the coins for top-spec components in every department. I just want a well-engineered bike that is capable on the road and that doesn't pretend to be a race replica. A bike like the Trident really pushes my buttons - it has styling that echoes the classic bikes of yesteryear (I used to ride a 1973 Bonneville, and currently have a 2010 Moto Guzzi V7) but in a modern package with a sporty motor, more than decent suspension, great tires, and a well-balanced tech package that doesn't look like you're riding around with your television strapped to the triple tree. I can't wait to test ride one and see if I like it as much as I think I will!

[@MrPranjalsingh1]

Have had the Trident for almost a year now. Great bike for good fun. Here in India, anything over 120 kmph is too risky n therefore, I guess Trident makes more sense. Yet, without a doubt Street Triple looks definitely better finished. One more thing, Trident got much more smoother after the first service.

[@oibignose2]

I put a deposit on the Street Triple RS around the time you did the first test of the 🔱 and decided after watching to change the deposit to the trident. The RS is the better bike but unless you are a track day regular or live somewhere with minimal law enforcement you are never going to get full use of it in the UK. The trident is just as good for 90 % of the riding I do and still capable of being pushed past my meagre riding abilities I’m sure. A great little bike that seems to split opinions looks wise.

[@PMdanielES]

YES! The content I’ve been waiting for since you announced it on IG! Thank you!! 😍

[@fyorbane]

Wish Triumph would produce a larger capacity Trident [1050 motor for example]. Not everybody wants a hyper-naked so a comfy [but still quite sporty] bigger Trident makes perfect sense to me. Power would be around 125 to 135 hp mark with loads of bottom end and mid range grunt. Maybe one day.

[@cosak23]

typo at 10.47 ;) stlying.

[@gryphongryph]

Triumph needs to make a 900cc Trident, tune the engine for midrange and give it too spec suspension and brakes and handling, make it bigger so normal people don’t look like they are riding a children’s bike. Keep the same display, only make it a bit bigger so easily read by older riders, make the bike top quality. So really a bike for older riders in their forties/fifties, a power bike that can be used every day and costs max £15.000 a bit like the Honda cb 1000r neo. I think such a bike would appeal to mature riders that have the cash to spend on a top quality bike.

[@Fogeljazz]

The Trident for me, based on looks alone. I'm a huge Triumph fan, but that front end on the Street Triple is ridculously ugly. Almost looks like a KTM 😅

[@bshortt4244]

I'd go for the Trident..... I'm not looking for crazy speed.... I ride for fun.

What I'd really love to know is how the Trident compares to a good condition Street Triple 675.

Awesome comparison. Ive always thought size wise the trident is much smaller but when you put them side by side it’s very similar.

[@mikewhittle492]

I have a Street Triple 675 and recently loaned a Trident from Triumph whilst I got my 12K service. I must say the bike looks great and Id imagine it would suffice if your just commuting around town and the odd ride in the twisties. I found the engine lacking in the low range, and also towards the high end of the power band. It also felt extremely light and 'toy-like' which i didnt enjoy at all, although the handling was great. Also the sound of the engine/exhaust left a lot to be desired, I suppose we have Euro 5 to thank for that. Having ridden it for a couple of days I was pleased to give it back for my baby. Personal opinion so take it with a pinch of salt but I much prefer bikes before they started putting a ton of electronic rider aides on them... 6/10 for me.

[@paulhoskin5353]

I want four reasons for the Street Triple. The Trident is great looking, though.

[@wl660]

I have ordered a Trident, based on being a returning rider (30 years), riding position, less stress on my wrists, and the Tech available (quick shifter, Bluetooth etc). Plus only 1 company would insure me for Trident, unlikely to get any for the Sreet Triple.

[@oibignose2]

Perfect bike for your situation 👍🏼

[@nunyabidness9257]

Can't say I have ridden a Trident yet, but my fiance has a Street Triple RS, which I find is about 90% of what I as a long time literbike sportsbike nut need and, really, want in a bike. Taking her bike out on a few rides both by myself and with my riding buddies has changed what I am looking for in a sporting bike in a fairly substantial way-I'm currently trying to figure out if I need to sell my R1M and GSXR1000 to get a Speed Triple 1200 RS..... or perhaps even just sell one and get a Street Triple RS. At any rate, I understand where the Trident would be approachable and especially in times of shaky economies I understand that the low price point is real attraction. I can also see where, being based on the Street Triple series, Triumph would have to get basically everything wrong to make it a bike not worth having....... But, the Trident is what I see as a holdover bike-as in holds you over while you learn to ride and decide what kind of bike you're ideally suited for. In that way, it seems like less a deal to me because while the Street Triples are definitely on the sporty side, they are also excellent streetbikes that appeal to a much larger portion of the riding public for resale-the Trident will always be a 'beginner's bike' no matter how good it will be. The Tridents are capable from what I have read and watched, but the Streets are a hell of a lot of bike to grow into. My money as a younger or less experienced rider would still go to the Street Triples. Nothing on them really needs changed from standard, you can burble to work on a cold wednesday morning, take a weekend trip, or ride like a complete twat and not go any slower than most guys on liter sportsbikes down your local popular curvy road. In terms of the Experiences you can have on the Street series, I think there are more to be had and a lot longer period of time, if ever, before you feel like you need more bike. I don't say any of this lightly, I have three 200hp sportbikes sitting 20 feet away from me and I ride them hard enough to make the chassis flex, buck, and weave. Other than in a straight line, the Street Triples are just as fast thru the corners and I don't hurt after I get off of one. The Trident wouldn't be able to take me from where I could start out as a new or low time rider up to the limits of where the Street triple ends.. Which is quite high... I guess the best way to say it is simply to say that while the Trident might be the best bargain in entry level motorcyling, the Street Triples are the best bargain in Motorcycling.

[@drummer12films]

As someone with 13,000miles on a ninja400, this finally convinced me to just go for the street triple.

[@nunyabidness9257]

@@drummer12films You won't be disappointed, but definitely get the RS version-the suspension and brakes are worth it. Factory suspension on the S and R aren't bad in the traditional sense and most riders can't articulate what makes the Ohlins shock and BPF forks on the RS "better", but trust me-they really are Better. The difference to you is that the front end isn't vague at corner entry as you pitch it in and approach the apex, it holds a line with more confidence, then tracks beautifully when you pin it coming out of the corner. It comes down to the sophistication of the damping in the initial part of the forward stroke-the front end is more "nailed to the road" rather than oscillating on bumps and pavement imperfection. It's really good shit on a $12k bike, especially if you beat the dealer up a bit. One thing I didn't touch on in my post is that one of the biggest reasons I like my GF's street triple is the tank range. It sounds like something silly to worry about for a sporting bike, and it's not the 50mpg I get tearing around in the country-it's that on my big bikes, all three hit reserve around 110 miles give or take. With her bike, I ride a half an hour, get off the freeway, fill up, do my entire 130 mile loop as hard on the gas as I want, and I have just enough gas to get home. On my liter-bikes, I hit reserve at the half way point and start sweating bullets if my riding buddies want to take a detour to a different route to change things up. We pull in for coffee at that half way point and I'm allways watching that damned fuel light. For weekend trips where you are out in unfamiliar areas, the street is a way better option-it still feels like a literbike in the midrange with it's short gearing, but it sips gas and has an actal gas guage with an estimate for miles to empty. Speaking of gearing, I have ridden it twice more since my original reply to this video with a buddy on his FZ-10 and V4 Tuono..... in a straight line, the Street Triple is a match for acceleration til about 110mph, you don't see that often with riding twisty roads..... and the Street is a lot easier to live with than either of those two. The leg room would be nice but the rest of the bike is so good you don't care. I hope you get one of these bikes, they really are that good.

[@drummer12films]

@@nunyabidness9257 Man you don’t know how much I appreciate your comment. I’ve been agonizing over this for months now. The speed to 110 nailed it for me. Not that i’m only focused on speed, as I love ripping up corners just as much as the next guy, but hearing all your points is everything I needed to hear. Hard to get real world experience on these bikes without it being a track only review. I definitely have “outgrown” the ninja, and just want that sweet sweet triple motor underneath me, and enough power to keep me satisfied down the road. Having the better suspension setup and the extra go fast bits are a cherry on top. Cheers for taking the time to write all this out for a stranger on the internet, I salute you!

Great comparison. I’m due to ride the Trident in the next few weeks, but have already ridden the ST RS - which was a great bike. The Trident appears to be a good choice for the money if you want something a little more ‘up market’ compared to say, an MT-07 (not that that is a bad bike at all!)

[@karlosh9286]

I've had a go of a Striple RS, yet to get a ride on a Trident. I had a 2018 second hand Striple 660 derestricted to 94 BHP. The Striple RS was better, but below 7000 rpm, and road legal speeds the Striple RS wasn't that much better than a Striple S 660 94 BHP bike. So on the performance comparison of the two bikes here, I'm guessing up to 70 MPH there probably isn't much in it. You've tried them both, would you agree ? If that is the case, I guess point 4 for the Trident, is "If you only want to ride at road legal speeds, it's performance is almost as good as the Striple RS and you're less likely to get speeding tickets" :-D

Good review , as always :-D As I suspected, and you seem to confirm, the Striple S is likely to be dropped. Once the Trident came out, well I just couldn't see Triumph selling many Striple 660 S's at just over £8K. I don't think they sold that many before the Trident, because they were quite an expensive A2 friendly bike to buy and insure. Non A2 riders on a budget would get a Striple R. Fuel about 0.73 Kg per litre. Oil possibly a bit more per litre. Water 1Kg / litre. I reckon the fluids on a Striple will be about 18 Kg. So dry weight plus about 18Kg = wet weight. So around 185 Kg ish for Striples.

I can't look the Street Triple in the face. That light cluster looks like The Fly. 🪰

[@Kim_Miller]

Here in Australia the Trident is only sold in the learner 55 hp version. And in contrast to the UK, they can't be upgraded to full spec. Even if the change is possible (usually it's pretty easy), it's illegal to change a learner bike to a full spec bike - and if it's discovered then registration and insurance are deemed void and the rider/owner can face serious liability issues. It's a great looking bike and a pity that the importer only supplies the low spec model.

Can be derestricted, registered and insured in QLD Australia but can never be changed back and registered as LAMS (restricted). Lose all LAMS resale value.

[@10secondsrule]

Street triple. Used one will cost the same price or less than a trident but is so much better. How is this even a question? Only uneducated rider will go for trident.

[@namduran]

A lot hangs on this review - so no pressure then. Been thinking about which of these to buy so comes at a perfect time. Thank you. I’ll let you know after what I decide…😬

Wow stock exhausts are insanely restrictive. Can make any bike/car sound shit. Lol

[@ellingtonpeacock1646]

I'm just personally in love with the street triples looks.

Street tripple to trident while ignition on... " I m ur Dad"... ofcourse st tripple!!!

There is always a better car, computer, or motorcycle. Middle weight is good enough.

[@WxM3008WxM]

Its weird. The trident seems budget but most people do like them. I dont like the styling on the tank.

[@urbanfireblade]

You really did a good job comparing these without any bias, has been the long awaited comparison video we've been hoping for. Awesome job!

Couldn't handle all the yada yada specs before any action. Switched off

Do they offer it with mirrors that don't make you (us) look like a douchey bro?

[@jeremykydd2149]

I wish you had reviewed the S vs Trident Not really a good comparison

[@Dkm337]

these triples sound like electric motors. cant get enough of them.

[@commenthu]

Infinitely bad comparison.A comparison of apples and oranges.

[@rhettratt4264]

i hope they decide to make a trident 765.. like the street triple but without the ugly.

[@chriswest2290]

How are the fastening looking after abit of time. Any corrosion on the bolts? How about the steal frame and swing arm?

[@motobob]

I've had it a couple of months and it all looks fine, but I think we're looking at a year or so before those problems would be likely to show up. Especially now we're coming into summer. I'll report back if anything does crop up tho

[@simonbailey3970]

Can I ask how you think the quick shifter is as I rode a demo with it on and wasn’t very impressed. It was ok going down but hard to get going up? Regards Simon

[@motobob]

On the trident? It’s not as precise as the street triple but fine once you get the hang of it. You need to be firm with it and follow through as there’s a bit more travel than the street triple. Or at least that’s how it feels to me

Where did you get your bar end mirrors for the trident?

Surely you should of done a comparison with the super nakeds that Japan offen. Comparing these 2 are like comparing man united vs there u21s team.

Brilliant review & comparison. Love the straight talk professional delivery!

[@tommydale5309]

Got 6 bikes and I have to ask why, why do motorcycle manufactures put the key ignition and all that wiring on the forks? Love the tridents key position.. I love the looks of the Trident, gorgeous in white. beautiful from the driving position also. Have a 2010 orange crush STR 675, 36,000 miles and still makes me smile, but I find myself riding my 1988 honda 647 hawk more and more. But as I am getting older the super tight leg position and vibrations on my hawk are getting old. I believe the motorcycle wizards made the Trident for me. P.S. I am a canyon and mountain sport rider and at 5' 7" I checked out the STR 765 low ride and was disappointed. The lower seat height is achieved completely by less suspension travel and it really effects handling and ride quality. I guess everyone knows what I am buying soon. My thinking is the Trident will take the place of 3 bikes, Oh the separation pains.

[@IvanSolo88]

As always it depends on what you want from your motorcycle. I don't want a lot of perfomance, I don't want to go to track, nor racing on the streets. I want a modern nice-looking bike for everyday megapolis commuting. So I have my Trident 660 with a quickshifter and it suits me 101%, really :)
