@@redo1dr Thanks for the re-cap! I meant cruise control on the Trident. Yes the SP model will be very nice indeed for the MT-09! Cannot wait for the specs on the 2021 Tracer 900!!!! Hope it comes with cruise control standard, it should!

[@redo1dr]

@@drewmorg. the tracer does, the trident does not have cruise control.

[@nickclarkuk]

The Honda has a quality aluminium frame and swing arm. A $1000 premium is quite an ask but may still be worth it .

[@kevinwalsh9483]

the cb650 f model is only 8200. stupid yammie was talking about the r model being 9k. he thinks he knows everything.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

I absolutely agree. If a person can swing the kind of money the Triumph cost, .... go for the extra and get the Honda. You'll be riding trouble free for years for not that much more cash.

[@chrishart8548]

@@timsretirementjourney8323 its literally $100 diffence trident 660 vs honda cb650r

[@blinganting]

opinions on this being a good first bike after your euro cat A test?

[@actarusfleed6607]

Hello Yammie. Specs are specs but I think there should be a street comparison with bikes around it's category before declaring that it's king of its class. Also, it seems that the Trident is not meant to carry a passenger for a comfortable ride. Am I wrong? Is there an optional pillion seat?

[@actarusfleed6607]

Looks alone are not enough to justify spending all that money on the Trident. After a few years that's when a solid customer review would be required. Time will tell. There's going to be a lot of guinea pigs out there with their beloved Tridents. I'll wait a few years till I know for sure whether it's a good investment or not. Like all brand new road vehicles, there's always going to be imperfections that will need to be ironed out. When it achieves a good solid reputation, then I'll take an interest.

[@CB-jv9ym]

Vehicles are not an investment.

[@davidrochow9382]

Are the electrics okay on them or will you have to take it in and get them fixed up?

[@MrBTRDAYZ]

What about compared to the Vitpilen 701???

[@chrishart8548]

701 has 2 less cylinders but I bet it's still faster. It's lighter and I bet on a Dyno it makes more power than the trident

[@jckcc]

Pretty funny fact. In Mexico, the Trident is priced at about 9800 USD while the CB650R kept its price of about 9400 USD so here the Honda definitely beats the Triumph, especially if they bring the 2021 version. I guess Triumph doesn’t distribute directly here so they end up adding the distributors’ share to the price, which is just sad

[@JonnyDaybreak]

It’d be interesting to compare the Trident to the Vitpilen 701

[@bwanaPele]

Yes.

[@Below-Average_Joe]

I believe the Street Twin is a great entry level bike with a 900cc, mildly tuned engine. It is also not a tall bike.

[@chrishart8548]

I love the street scrambler but its basically the same bike with a different exhaust.

[@chrrev1]

My only experience is several years on a 250 honda Baja... Wonder if I can step up to a 660 like the Trident. Looks fantastic though I have to say... I'm 183cm, this bike looks quite small right?

[@bhrettherbert2938]

Here in Ph there's just a 40USD difference in the price. With almost the same price tag i think 1extra cylinder (plus power) will be more favorable.

[@Firestorm637]

$8000, most bang for the buck. 80 horsepower snd 417 pounds is not a beginner bike, more 2nd bike or intermediate bike. Triples are CROSS PLANE engines. Bidirectional quick shifter very unique for $8000. Triumph is. Premium, European bike vs Honda’s/Yamaha’s. The later are on every corner and 4000 mile service intervals. Triumph hit a home run!!!!

[@superflea72]

at the moment it looks like Australia is only going to get the learner 50hp version. ☹ in Europe, you can upgrade to the 80hp when you're eligible to ride it, but here they think that the under-powered version is the only way to go...I hope they change their minds, because I was really interested in the stronger version of this bike!
