New 2021 Triumph Trident Launched: The Yamaha MT-07 Killer?

It's nice to see manufacturers putting some emphasis on affordable street bikes with sane horsepower and strong powerbands for street riding. Eighty HP in a light 400 lb bike is wickedly fast on public roads and this machine will handle nicely in the twisties. Definitely a big thumbs up in the looks dept.

[@KingCast65]

I know!!! I've owned 4 Triumphs, all 955/1050's. I'm 55 and I just don't feel the need to prove or to experience how fast I can go, but rather how well I go fast. So I sold my 1050 Speedy and bought a 2006 Multistrada S with Ohlins. To which I might add one of these for the daily rider and keep the Multi for long runs. Make mine white.

Not so keen on the tank at the moment but that may change. Having owned an XSR 700 and CB650R I think Triumph are right on the money here. They are going to poach a lot of customers which is great news for anyone looking in this segment! Great report and interview as always. Looking forward to the full ride review. 👍

[@Jedz123]

@@motobob The Value is absolutely astonishing. Brand new this bike is right in my budget for the next "mule" so to speak. My Bonneville has been an exceptional surprise and is my favorite motorcycle to date. Spec sheet looks to be quicker than my current T120 and about $5K less dollars new.... This bike will do everything I need it to do, daily commuting, slow city riding and rural back road riding. I see they fit it with premium Road 5 tires (all I run on my T120) which is the silent nod from Triumph, clearly they are planning the owners of these Tridents to chase big miles out of the crate. So impressed with Triumph these past few years... Made a convert out of me! Last thing I need to see is a top rack and cruise control... Have those things and I'll put a deposit down now.

Did something happen to the Suzuki sv650 or why is everyone acting as if it’s not in the class?

I've owned over 20 bikes of many brands including 5 Triumphs (2009 Scrambler, 2010 Speed Triple, 2012 Street Triple, 2015 Scrambler and 2019 Scrambler 1200XE and I'd say they are generally as reliable as the Japanese bikes (I had a sensor issue on the 2019, a small gasket leak on my 2009 Scrambler, but aside from that it's been really trouble free. Actually put 70000km on my 2015 Scrambler and aside from oil and tires, that was about it. The worst reliability brands I've experienced, by far, are Ducati and KTM, though to be fair they were a 2013 and 2008 so I'd like to think they've improved since, but my friend had a Duke 390 and he had a problem with the fan sensor leading to engine overheating....

Bad idea. If you want a bike designed for a racetrack, just get the 675. If you want a bike designed for public roads, the less touchy brakes, more meaty midrange, and softer suspension set up, this will serve one much better.

@@saddle8bag I daily a ST675r, brakes are perfect, linear in feel with a strong bite midway through the lever, engine is linear in power throughout (would be even more beginner friendly with a rain riding mode), you can adjust the suspension to be quite soft or very rigid, front-&-back.

[@Alberto-qf7zh]

@@mark3863 Hi Mark. They seem to be all great bikes, but you'll have to think about what you'll use the bike for most of the time, and what's your riding style, how long you're planning to keep the bike, maintenance and insurance cost, etc, etc. It's difficult for one to advise on what bike you should get because there's always a bias based on what they have experienced with a certain bike, and that experience will not be the same for everyone. I would suggest you test ride them, if possible. I've tried a ktm 690 duke, good bike for spirited/hooligan type of rides, not so much for normal town/slow traffic ride. Didn't like the feel of the engine pumping underneath my seat. The Z900 is a different bike, it's basically a sport bike without fairings. Not in the same category as the other ones. The MT07 is a really nice bike in the sense that it's fun to ride and the price makes it really hard to beat, however, it's a bike built on a budget and it kinda shows. Not a bike I would keep for long. The CB650R has a better fit and finish. For my everyday ride is better than the mt07. It's a bike I was really considering as a cheaper alternative to the monster 821, until Triumph came along and did it for me (so far). If you have your heart set on the Ducati, and you have to choose between the 821 an 797, choose the 821. It's a better bike in most aspects. Unless the 797 is *significantly much cheaper. But remember, Ducati's can be a bit finicky in how they ride, and maintenance is more expensive than the competition. But it's a bike that will make you feel very accomplished and proud. I'm sorry for the long reply, I just wanted to help in your decision as much as I could, I hope I've accomplished that. All the best in your choice, and ride safe.✌🏾

Thanks Alberto, your insight is appreciated. I used to ride a 2016 Ducati Multistrada 1200s but injured my back (not bike related) and couldn’t ride so I sold it. But my back is almost good so I want a lighter bike that I can ride to Hermanus and around Cape Town. Weight is why the KTM is at the top of my list.

[@Alberto-qf7zh]

@@mark3863 😳 You had the Ducati Multistrada 1200S! I'm so jealous of you right now. Now I see why the ktm duke 790/890 seems to be on top of your list. Compared to the other bikes, the ktm seems to be the one that will give you the closest experience as the Multistrada. Have you thought about the Mt-09? I think that would be a better bike for your type of commute. I'm not sure bout the weight part for your particular situation, but a quick Google search, all fuelled up, the Mt-09 seems to weight about the same as the Multistrada's dry weight. And if that's not too far from the Ktm's weight, then I would definitely go for the Mt-09. Try to seat on one and have a feel for it. Yamaha dealers are everywhere (at least where I stay). I think that's the bike that will more closely resemble the Multistrada 1200S that you had.

You can't really bang on about heritage for a company that really only started making decent products in the late 80s early 90s. Combine this with a manufacturing process located in Asia and your historic threads become translucent. Kawasaki however have been building successful quality motorcycles since 1966. The arrival of the W1 marked the death of Triumph in its original genuine format, an efficient quality machine that outperformed, didn't cost the earth or breakdown. The Kawasaki brand remains unchanged from that day which is a true example of providence and history. Good video keep up the work.

@@gerardmontgomery280 5hp more than my sv650 and lighter. Never needed or asked for more. Feeling, flickability, engine sound and roll on acceleration are a lot more important than raw topspeed or sub 3 seconds not to sixty

[@random_reveal9812]

I wish I could purchase this one. Kinda unique machine which can give you a more thrill then expected. Thanks Triumph !

[@JayGrabow]

I expect to return to motorcycling in 2021, after not owning a bike since the mid 1990's. Mostly for commuting and joy riding. I've been lusting after the Z900RS, but this new trident has turned my head. At over $11,000 for the Z900RS and about $9,100 for the Trident, I'm gonna have to take a good look. Both are really appealing.

[@motobob]

That's a tough one! The Kawasaki has the power but this is a good 25kg lighter

[@JayGrabow]

@@motobob - Thanks for the response. Since my last bike was a '78 CB750, and because I'm less infatuated with speed than I used to be, I'm sure i'll find either bike more than satisfactory when it comes to power. At 6'-0" and 210 lbs, do you have any sense about which bike will be right-sized for me, ergonomically speaking (seat height / rider triangle)?

[@rajivanandpalshikar]

Over board graphics seem to conceal the harmony of the free form of the bike, a simple matt paint would uplift the bike by miles

[@gerardmontgomery280]

So Yammaha have taken one of the best looking bikes in the sector and ruined how it looks, just about the same time Triumph put out this little beauty.

[@Mike-er7ym]

yeah! the new Mt-09 looks awful!

[@trevorlord9685]

MB- WOULD LOVE a comparison video between the Trident and a 2020 street twin! (Specs and such....). Side by side, Right?!? Keep up the great work! TJL

[@randomnik70]

I don't see any luggage rack or similar. I love the bike, but would sometimes want to take it somewhere longer. No saddlebags or anything like that are offered, only those two tiny bags.

[@andrewwalters4271]

A great looking naked, lots of usable torque and the cache of the Trident name. This should make for a killer urban warrior, while still being good on the twisties.

[@bobdemel1597]

A little surprised the SV650 wasn’t included in the comparison given its aimed at a similar market and has similar styling.

[@bobthomas2812]

Of the bikes in this segment, I would not hesitate to choose this winner and with Triumphs triples they are fun everywhere.

[@lockpinos]

And this bike will be the best middle weight standard allrounder bike for a long time just like the Street twin.

[@susanmaggiora4800]

That’s by far the best looking bike of the bunch!

[@paulclarke1233]

Hi moto bob , the new trident looks really good and the Gray and red looks really good and the price is not bad . The Only thing don't like is the rear huger over the tyer it could do with being under the rear break light

[@dr.fruityboots4706]

i like it but its too small for me. glad to see it as a beginners bike thats not gonna be easy to outgrow and in its segment why would anybody want anything but that trident?

[@stuartbaker4444]

Brilliant love it. Ordering one Monday, my T120 is too heavy

[@__umbra]

@MOTOBOB please kindly tell me if you really had to choose between honda cb1000r and BMW R nineT(2021) Which one would you go for?

[@motobob]

CB1000R if you want something fast, RnineT if you want character and style. Urban GS looks soooo good this year

[@californiapoontappa]

Honda

[@__umbra]

@@motobob thanks.

[@John_Smith__]

A contender for that segment no doubt. And it is going to have good sales.

[@johnryals5153]

I think it looks awesome, can't wait to check it out in person, JR

[@NariTheMan]

Nice! I think this will be a great upgrade to my Husqvarna Svartpilen 401

[@motobob]

Definitely!

[@johnward3490]

Looks good great vid but first question I would ask at the dealers would be service costs , compared to the competition triumph triples are a shocker. It’s starting to put me off buying another triumph especially as not British built anymore

[@motobob]

They said that the servicing costs are lower than any other triumph, but I’ll go into that in a later video I guess

[@ampm9771]

What kind of frankenstein front brake calliper is that!

[@gregorylagrange]

When you think about Triumph was at one point two steps away from disappearing, it really makes me feel super good about them to see the kind of bikes they are putting out. And makes me feel good about loving motorcycles to see a company be so passionate about creating high quality bikes that connect with why everyone rides. I think about people who find out in high school they are dyslexic. They get to a point where everything is a struggle, but through good people and direction, they turn everything around and you hear about them flourishing later on. I wouldn't call it a MT 07 killer. Only maybe in the context of a magazine's bike comparison. At a probable $9000 price, the MT07 will still be a popular ride. Needs a yellow or a Goodwood green version.

[@branislavcrljenica2584]

Triumph could make a modern bobber on that platform🏍

[@captainaverage721]

I'm sure Triumph will expand this model into an expanded range, think MTO7, XSR 700, Tracer 700

[@chriswest2290]

You done well on camera. Good questions 👍

[@motobob]

Thanks Chris - much appreciated

[@nickfozouni8126]

It’s definitely my pick from the bunch. I’m seriously considering buying it

[@anhquyenvuong9658]

This will be my firt motobike, love it, cannot wait!

[@QQRREE]

Trouble is not many dealers now our local one closed down . So until there is a local dealer in the Bournemouth area you will lose customers .

[@VaibhavSoni]

you could add the engine sound, that is I think very important for a sport or power bike
