It's probably such a good motorcycle, because when they designed it, they DIDN'T fall prey to the ultra-irritating thing of thinking of it as a "BEGINNER" bike (because it's a 650). They treated it as what it IS, which is what they USED to be called; a M I D D L E W E I G H T bike! N O T a "Beginner" bike. Why does everyone on these videos think that anything less than 1000cc is a "beginner" bike, just because it has a smaller capacity????? Hopefully, Triumph will now lead the way towards lots more MIDDLEWEIGHT bikes being treated as legitimate bikes of DESIRE, rather than something you start on, then ditch, once you've got the money for a "Litre Bike". Okay, when I was learning in the UK, as a learner, you were restricted to 125cc, before you got your licence. Then you got what you wanted - step through, small bike, middleweight or BIG bike (1000cc +). Now the law seems to have changed and you can get middleweight bikes on a learner licence. So there should be specifically designed "beginner" bikes in the middleweight class. But middleweights SHOULD NOT be totally restricted to being designed specifically for learners. And the 660, is not designed primarily for beginners (like teh Ninja 650). But as a MIDDLEWEIGHT bike you truly WANT. EXCELLENT Triumph! I WANT one!!!

Yeah this does my head in too. I have a 1250gs and a ninja 1000 and I'm looking to pick up a 650 naked of some sort because they are fun at road legal speeds and great for filtering through traffic and riding round town. 650cc bikes are just super fun and more affordable. I'd argue the 250-500cc bikes are more beginner specific bikes.

That front brake complaint is not uncommon for a lot of Triumphs with Nissin calipers. I think it’s the brake pads they use. A set of EBC HH pads improves them massively. This is a compelling bike even for guys like me who own four other Triumphs and have been riding for years. It seems like the perfect commuter bike and fun around-town transport. And I love how its design calls back to the ‘90s Trident, which was itself a more everyday-street-friendly variation on the original Speed Triple.

looking at the trident for my first too. how light does it feel at low speeds, have you dropped it or been close to?
@donaldl60763 жыл бұрын
@@utchabayski Yeah. I had one close call. I’m in my late 30s so I’m not an aggressive rider and when I do ride, I’m doing joy rides rather than for commuting. The bike is average in weight when turning with speed. Low speed maneuvering is always risky. The bikes turning circle is not great. Given I am a new rider I bought the frame protection kit. If buying brand new, during the break in period the onboard computer limits your bike so it will feel slower (but safer) to let you gain confidence (and to protect the engine). Once you complete your break in period, the limiters are automatically disabled and you can gain more speed at lower gears. It’s a really cool bike for beginners. I still ride once a week and having clocked 1033 miles in the last two months, I feel it’s pretty forgiving for beginners. The gear change is smooth. Neutral can sometimes be a pain to get to but gear up and down has been easy. I did change out the brake and clutch levers. The clutch lever was non-adjustable and it was pretty spaced out. It can be tiring pulling it in from afar as a beginner as your nerves insist that you keep your hand out there. Hope that helped. Stay safe.

For those wondering... the fast flashing of the RPMs is a "break-in mode" that will indicate when you either need to shift or chill on the revs during the break-in period. This can be disabled in the settings. The brake lever is adjustable, the clutch is NOT. That said, TEC is a UK parts maker that has a division in the US and offers a great set of black adjustable Clutch and Brake lever for about $70 and are excellent quality. the tank is metal but the cover is not, so if you wanted to change the look to a different version ( i wasnt fast enough to secure a matte black so I got the sapphire black same as this vid) I found out from Triumph parts you can swap the tank cover, rear under tail cover, radiator end panels and front fender should you want a different variant look

I work at a Triumph dealership and was so excited about this bike...until we got the first one in and I rode it. It looks sexy, but the front brakes are terrible and the power is underwhelming. The constantly flashing tach, indicating you should upshift if you're revving over 3k rpm, is annoying. The fact that all Triumphs are completely software-dependent is a definite show-stopper for me. We can't even test-fire a new one without downloading and installing an hour's worth of software updates and "unlocking" the ECM. In five years, when the software is "no longer supported" (right about the time you make the last payment on it) you're stuck with the equivalent of an iPhone 3. Good luck with that.
@jackgirote91323 жыл бұрын
I own the triumph. Its entry level and its priced to compete. You should remember that to keep the price reasonable, you aren't going to get the premium everything. The brakes get the job done and with enough practice you can manage them quite well. I think the power is enough, if it had 20 more HP It would be great, but then it would be a street triple. The reason the tach is flashing is because its in "break in" mode, after the 600 mile service, you can turn that off. I don't know anything about the software side, nor have I had to do anything for it other than put gas in the bike.

Yap. I was surprised also to find out that there is such a price difference. In Europe is only about 100 euros or so, between T660 and CB 650R(2021). The 2020 CB is cheaper than the T660
@yashshetgaonkar42913 жыл бұрын
Damn! That's a steal. Here in India there's a difference of $2500 between the 650r and T660. Honda overpriced the 650r here:(

If the odometer is correct and the bike only has 40+ miles on it, don't judge the breaks until they are broken in, at least 200 miles.

RE: Throttle: The "feel " is like cable slack in a mech. version. Doesn't seem to do it when throttle is already open a bit. Maybe a shim or spacer inside might make the lash go away ? Could the throttle lag be due to break in period ? Maybe go away after 1000 km or miles ?

I've been racing cars for a bit now, and have a respect for power and not being dumb... I just got my permit today, and after I pass my test, I'm so tempted to get this bike in Crystal White for my first. I'll probably get someone's beater 250cc bike for this summer so I can save money and get some experience, but I really, really love how this bike looks, and others seem to be a fan of it, as well. I'm not looking to squid out and get something insane, I just want a peppy commuter that can take a curve, and will be kind to a beginner... bingo. Thank you Triumph and Yammie, you've got me sold.

I have had mine for about 2 weeks. I am a beginner and it is my second bike and it feels great. But I am already wishing it had a little more torque... 47 ft lb is OK but 60 ft lb would have been great. Throttle response is fine and the front brakes are good on mine as well. Just a little more torque and higher redline would have been amazing. What bike is out there with about 60 ft lb of torque and under $10K?

I went on Thursday to my local triumph dealer and rode the trident 660 and i must say its an interesting situation going from a traditional to a ride by wire never having ridden one. It seems like its an amazing motorcycle though would be much better with a more beefy sounding exhaust. Going from my ike with a full yoshi to the 660 was just a little quiet.

I think something like this makes a great 2nd bike coming from a 250. I test rode one today and it felt like a rocket ship. It was the 2nd vehicle to make me scream in exhilaration from the acceleration--first was a C7 Corvette stingray--except the stingray needed full throttle in first gear for that while 75% throttle in 2nd gear on this bike had the same effect.

The way you steer like you have a steering wheel is scary. If you haven’t heard of counter steering a motorcycle, you should look into that. Maybe it’s just the video making it look like your steering by turn the bars into a turn and that’s just labor intensive and limits the turning ability of the bike. In many cases it’s the reason inexperienced riders go off road in a turn. A slight push forward on your left hand will lean a bike into a left curve with near no effort, and very quickly as well. Likewise pushing your right hand forward will lean the bike into a right turn or curve quick and easy. I know it sounds a little crazy but try it and you’ll never go back.

Can anyone comment on why the CB650R is so much more expensive in the US? It costs literally the same as the Trident in Europe. And since that is the case - how do they compare when they cost the same? I understand the Honda will likely be a better sport bike with more power at high RPM while the Triumph will be a better daily commute bike and more fun for cruising. But other than that, what about build quality, overall feel and... everything else?
