Triumph Trident 660 sound [RAW Onboard]

That triple roar!!! Listen to the 3 cylinder engine doing its thing! The Triumph Trident 660 sure was a joy to ride and listen to! Even with EURO-5 stock exhaust!

[@ranganmukherjee3842]

The downshifts and blips sound lethargic, though I'm sure they were absolutely on point. It's a pity they didn't make provisions for aftermarket pipes on this one, else it would have been one of the sweetest sounding triples of all times, like the old Daytona... ❤️

[@Schaaf]

Well observed! Hats off! Because indeed that is one of the few bad things I could say about the bike. The RidebyWire seems to be setup in a very smooooth (and beginner-friendly) way. Which means it felt like it was lagging a bit behind sometimes. It's not noticeable while normal accelerating etc. but it is when going for rev-matching. Although it sounds better on video than it felt on the bike itself. So I'm even more impressed by you rightly noticing this!! :)

[@sabiti5428]

I'm certain someone will make an exhaust for it since America isn't under euro 5 rules

[@sayantantalukdar9883]

there are tridents with slip on in thailand

[@aka_pierre]

@@Schaaf what do you think of this bike as a second bike (after a used beater) for a new motorcyclist?

[@JamesCAsphalt8]

The pipes will come. It is a new bike man

[@Schaaf]

ENJOY the triple symphony!! Any rattling sound you can hear is NOT coming from the bike. It comes from my sound setup. Since I was on a work trip I unfortunately couldn't bring my usual recording backpack. But I think my makeshift setup wasn't too bad either ;)

[@sirquasm2913]

Did you place the mic under the seat?

You never know how it really sounds until Schaaf publishes a video. I am curious to hear the new Mt-09 tuned by Yamaha music department on Schaaf's channel!

Thanks man. Unfortunately it is almost impossible for me to get Yamahas. You'll have to hope for somebody else :X

[@Schaaf]

@@d0n_key basically no manufacturer provides me with test rides :) Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5DPh4hrg6x8i7s

[@kenrblooddust]

It seems to be a common misunderstanding but there is no such "music department" of Yamaha. The motorcycle manufactuer Yamaha Motor and the musical instrument manufacturer Yamaha are basically different companies. Yamaha Motor is seperated from its parent company long ago in 1955, back then who is still named Japan Musical Instrument Manufacturing (Nippon Gakki Seizou (Nichigaku)). It is not until 1987 that Nichigaku formally changed its name to Yamaha in order to honor its founder and commemorate its 90th annivesary. The sound of Yamaha Motor's motorcyle is specially tuned by Yamaha is just a well known bluff. Despite the naming the two companies now have little connections and they are not affiliates. Yamaha Motor as a motor company belongs to the Toyota bloc.

[@poiXquared]

@@kenrblooddust off topic, so that means the Yamaha that tuned the Lexus LFA's exhaust note are the motorcycle guys?

[@masterchief3989]

As a rider in India, that's among our everyday commute AND interstate highways, so was wondering how it runs. Your channel gave me all the info it needed, no drama, no fuss, just you, that bike and the open roads. Turned me into a subscriber. Ride safe out there! ✌️

[@OOOHYEAAAHH]

@@Schaaf Nice! How did you feel about the back end? many bikes like the sv650, Z750 and MT07 have that wallowy behavior when slightly pushing on curvys roads where the tarmac isnt buttery smooth. How did the Trident behave? I did read the comments in the video ofcourse ^^. I would assume a good middle ground is what you want in these kind of conditions. I think this is the bike i would scoop up after a year or 2 as a nice occasion.

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

Good Gawd - that road at the start is hellish. It's certainy gving yer forks and seals a thorough testing (and yer wrists). With all those serious dents bumps, cracks and the surface itself, it looked more like a road suitable for a motocross and not a roadbike. Nice note to the bike, liked the whine. Been down the Hinkley Triumph route before many years ago ( a Trophy 1200/4) and swore never again. But, I'm glad to hear their engineering has improved a lot since then.
