The Trident 660 Is Hands Down The Best Middle Weight Naked !

[@Thanewguy40]

As an intermediat level rider I can say that my Trident 660 with a Gdp exaust is a beautiful beast to behold. It really is a damn nice ride that is garneted to bring a smile or at least a shit eating grin.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Heck ya man. And with an exhaust it must sound awesome man !!! That little thing punches way above its weight class that was fun to ride man !

[@USRadOrca]

I can tell you I experienced everything you said, it's a great bike. I own a 2023 Triumph Trident 🔱 660 and I've installed all the additional communications modules. I know people are going to say that tech on bikes is really a gimmick but the navigation and GoPro control is quite awesome. I also ordered the factory alarm from the UK for the bike. The ability to have a full alarm that plugs directly into the factory harnesses is a giant plus. The hardened mounting brackets and location is fantastic too. I had a Honda VFR 750 in the 90s and putting an alarm on it was difficult and obviously required me to cut factory harness wires. I also added the quick shifter which I find I have to force myself to use after riding with the clutch and shifting manually for all these years but actually it's quite awesome in city traffic.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Dude !!! I didn’t know this think had so many upgrades thats cool ! Also love the vfr I have a 1200 currently.

[@williangoncalves8488]

I have the same bike, the same color 2023, i just got the DNk Tune waiting for them to send it to me. I really like the format of your videos, keep up with the great job!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Thank you thank you ! Enjoy the bike man it’s super fun !!

[@stevesguns]

Just got mine yesterday it’s a 2022 pearl white. I love it more then my MT07 , power feels better especially higher speeds

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Yessss !!!! Glad you like it man. I agree more power at the top and I don’t feel it looses power down low I feel it’s “smoother”

[@stevesguns]

@ yup. Mine has the quick shift also. Man it’s like driving a GT3 rs lol

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Oh man that’s a fun comparison but I get it. Light handles well sounds good 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@512Chaos]

This is the first Walgreens turned motorcycle dealer i've seen, neato. Nice video, great info while im waiting for the '25 Tribute edition i just ordered, should have it any day

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Oh heck ya man !! thats awesome hope you enjoy it !

[@martinwesterstrand]

I like your videos a lot! Im a bike crazy from Sweden and I enjoy how you film, narrate and edit your stuff! You will soon see a real rise in numbers for your channel, if you keep this good work up!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Thank you Martin I appreciate it ! Hopefully that will be the case that’s what I’m going far !

[@ugosivocci719]

You don´t have flying bugs in your place? Man, i never will ride in T-shirt here in Portugal! Even birds strike me 😅

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Depends on the time of year and where you are. Close to the beach and River yes 100%. Not where I was here. Not enough to worry about.

[@itsbuddhaone]

Have you rode a Tuono 660 yet? Nothing comes close in the middle weight "sports naked" class.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

lol not yet !

[@DiogenesOfCa]

I don't have 10k for a bike....

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

You can find used ones for 8k maybe 7k if you’re lucky. But there are plenty of bikes for less on the used market. How much are you working with I might could make some suggestions.

[@kevm3]

Tuono probably has the best performance, but if something goes wrong, it'll be sitting for months waiting for parts from Italy.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

@@kevm3 I have heard. It does have more power for sure. I will have to wait to ride one to double check but for me its not the amount of power that is awesome about this bike its about how its delivered. Linear and increasing it does not die out.

[@edu2792]

Great video!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Hey hey !!! Thank you !!

[@exexpat11]

This what Harley shot for in their Evo Sportster replacement and missed.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Oh god no. That’s not even close. The sportster s is not a middle weight naked. Lmao. A short travel “bobber” type suspension cruiser with 40 more HP and double the torque is no where near a middle weight naked. That’s not true at all. Lmaooo. 2 different plants buddy.

[@exexpat11]

EVO Sporty was around 58hp in the 1200cc, 550lbs. Very dated as the last major changes were in 84. HD wanted a light, mid weight, powerful 80+HP bike. Instead they got the Revolution powered Sportster. Powerful, a little overweight, limited in function. Sort like a mini V-Rod replacement more than a Sportster.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Those are all purposeful decisions. Not accidents. It’s not a v rod either. The engine is similar. I’m sure it’s derived from it for sure. But it’s not a traditional frame bike. It really is a new design for HD.

[@thechosen1536]

How would you compare this bike with the mt-07 ? Having a hard time picking between those two for my first bike 😣

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Even though the MT is more popular. I prefer trident. Honestly it makes more even power and more at the top. Roughly the same size but more simple design. I think the trident left a longer impression on me.

[@lewiscollins4842]

Mt's are the fiesta of the bike world 😂

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

@@lewiscollins4842 Oh ya for sure. !! Never thought about it that way but its true

[@Ahmed-jv7oc]

Dream bike❤

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

It’s a fun one ! I wanna ride a bigger triple !

[@TheBlackSheepBoy]

idk if i missed it in the vid but did you mention your height anywhere?

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Oh crap no I didn’t 5’10”. Naked are slightly taller I would say 5’4”- 5’5” is where you would need to single leg it roughly.

[@TheBlackSheepBoy]

@@NostalgicMotorcycles thanks. i'm 5'11" and worried it would look too small on me LOL

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Same size as me basically. It does feel a little short front to rear but I think that’s just the general naked bike position because the mt’s make me feel the same way

[@vampiresquid]

“Shorter rider than I am” “Lighter rider than I am”. I looked up what an “I am” is in standard international units, but was unable to find it. That makes this information completely useless.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

If I told you how tall I was that would be too easy lmaoo. Oh wait I did!

[@williangoncalves8488]

@@NostalgicMotorcycles 😆

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

It’s in there lol. I’m 5’10” btw

[@akhilsuresh6017]

Why did you blur out the instrument cluster?

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

I got a weird error in the screen.

[@joshslade3594]

This is not a “middleweight”. This is more of a “beginner plus”. The street triple is a true middleweight. Quit with the marketing nonsense

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Its literally classified as a middleweight lol. 80Hp is well over the beginner category which sits 20-50hp. I get what your saying and agree this is a approachable to a responsible newbee but that doesnt make it not a middleweight. a speed triple although still middleweight is at the very top end. where the 660 is bottom. just opposite sides of the class. I get i its a weird place where both of these bikes are the same class but not my call lol. what marketing nonsense? it's a bike review that I don't get paid for unless you watch the ads. Which BTW special thanks for the feedback and the your time.

[@exexpat11]

I remember back when 350cc to 650cc was a middleweight. Now Middle Weights are 1200 and above in standards and cruisers.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Lmfao ya I don’t disagree. But you can’t really judge off displacement. More of a power range. You can have a 120hp 600cc bike. And a 50hp 1200. Using only displacement doesn’t really get the whole picture you know.

[@Yourbestlife1]

Guys are funny! So is an MT09 a middle? The middle class is huge from 600s up to the Duke 990 and Monster are all technically middle weights. Until they come up with a new class they are all considered middles dude.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Ya lmaoo. It’s basically. Like the faster bike and the slowest bike. Anything between is getting called middle !
