As a long time owner of a Bandit 650, I really like the Tiger 660. What I especially like is the moulded luggage you can get with it. You can go to the store, get a few groceries and bring them home with you. It greatly extends the usefulness of the motorcycle.

As a 35+ year rider, I added a TS660 to my garage last year, after a 30-minute test ride. The owner of my local dealership knows I've done thousands of miles on racetracks, and when I returned to the store so quickly, he said, "Didn't like it, huh?" Still grinning, I said, "Nope--I'm putting one of these in my garage!" I've owned many, many high-horsepower super-sport bikes, including the Tuono Factory still in my garage. This bike is way more fun than it has a right to be at its price-point. I nicknamed it "Cheap Thrills" because of the low $$. Definitely get the quick-shifter for this bike, and just wail through the gearbox while grinning and laughing in your helmet!

[@papatorr3669]

As a 47+ years rider of budget bikes, I added the Hornet 919 to my garage last year, after a 10 minute test ride for $2,500. My response falls under the sour grapes category, as I would thoroughly enjoy a TS660 and agree with your assessment. Although not on the same level, the way I would ride the TS660, reminds me of my '84 Honda CB650SC: just behind on HP and ft/lb, weight, 6 spds, etc. Hop on it and go for a short ride just for the fun of it. Not too sporty or laid back, neither lightweight or heavy, fast or slow, and so on. These fall into a category I call Goldilocks bikes.

[@Alex_mkII]

As a new rider I really appreciated the softer throttle response of the 660 platform. Striple RS is definitely more out and out fun, but would have made an absolutely terrible first bike

[@christophervincent77]

I haven't ridden the Sport 660 yet but it is more comfortable to sit on than the Trident, and the wind protection would likely make it way more livable for higher speeds. It's objectively better in most ways. I'm still getting a Trident though - in orange. It's just so pretty.

[@jollibee000]

Comfortable yes. Windscreen, unless you are 5’9” and below the buffeting and dirty air from what the windscreen couldn’t cover is a headache. So better to put it all thw way down and get clean air.

[@derekbeach6574]

So, bought the Trident 660 based on your review. Spot on. Looked at this review a few days ago, the Tiger Sport 660 now on order, should be riding it away in 10 days or so. Got the orange one

[@TheGentlemanRider]

Hi tehere, I am a 45+ happy MT-07 owner with almost 20 years experience. I got a my2018 MT-07 years ago because I had back pain issues and gave up on weekend trips, just to use it as a daily commuter with more exitement than a scooter. Now my condition (herniated disc L5-S1 for those who are interested) is getting better, also because I've put some serious effort on loosing weight. Now I can go for the occasional sunday ride with the MT but if I ride for more than a couple of hours I feel that it somehow makes my lower back more sensible. I don't think is a position issue, more like the harshness of the MT rear suspension. It does not bother me on the 20 minutes daily commute, but it comulates on the long run. Long story short: I am looking for a 17" wheeled, 200ish kg or less bike that is not an elephant in the city and can take 300 / 400km trips on twisty roads. I've checked the datasheets and the Tracer 7 and Tiger sport are currently the best options under my search light. I expect the Tracer to be more gentle than the MT due to diffferent, longer swingarm and consequently longer travel. The Tiger seems to have an even (slightly) longer suspension travel than the Tracer. Can anybody that has owned (or tested properly) those bikes give some feedback about that? Thanks 😀 Here are the travels, fetched from owner manuals or manufacturer websites: MT-07: 130/130mm Tracer 7: 130/142mm Tiger sport: 150/150mm

[@gaborkrammer]

Hi! I've ridden the MT07, and have a Tracer 700. The tracer is softer, not as aggressive and have a more relaxed riding position. Can you rent or borrow one for a spin? Don't know much about the Tiger 660, I'll testride or rent one in the coming weeks. I love the triple + quickshifter. Lightweight, 17' wheels are must for me. Unfortunately none have cruise control.

[@bismoboggins]

I own a tiger 660, weigh about 300lbs, live somewhere only accesible by awfully bumpy roads and have a sensitive lower back from a lot of heavy training + physical labour and I have to say I experience zero discomfort even after 100 miles in the seat at a time, can only recommend this bike

Hi guys At 52 I finally got my license but bought a Yamaha in 2021. Been sat in a wheelchair some years because of MS. The first bike I bought was the 2022 Tracer 9GT. An ok but boring bike. At school I drove the MT07 and I’m sorry, the engine is so sluggish. Directly after securing my licence (yes the same day) I traded in my Tracer for a 2023 Triumph Speed Twin 1200. Lovely looking bike, oodles of grunt and that sound… just lovely. AND my wife loves it is comfy for the pillion rider as well. However… The Speed Twin isn’t a bike for long stretches so we need a second bike. My dealer has just taken delivery of the first 2024 Triumph Tiger 900 with more tech and higher hp and torque over the 2023 model. I Had wishes that the 660 would work for the two of us with bags and all but sadly the engine is insufficient for the weight. Otherwise a Really nice bike for a single rider. What else is on my maybe-list? The Moto Guzzi V100 of course. It is Awesome! It hasn’t got the liveliness of the Tracer 9 or the Tiger 900, but Boy does it have character and a lovely sounding V engine. And the pillion is much lower. That made my wife happy and she is rooting for my to go Anglo and Italian. Thanks for the upload!

Especially considering my Yamaha R3 many years ago was $7,200 out the door new.

[@Kee_Diddy]

19:28 In my opinion that monotony is what makes MC trips so special. It makes you realize just how vast the country truly is because you're so exposed and fatigued by it. When you do it in s car it's kinda like flying, where you feel a bit like you teleported to the destination, and you don't get that sense of vastness. Definitely more comfortable, but it's not the deep, borderline-spiritual experience of riding a motorcycle.

[@michaelmcdonald1620]

Bought this bike last fall and have ~2k miles on it. Cruise control was definitely a miss. The throttle is really only noticeable at idle but clicking throught the gears it doesnt feel lazy to me. The windscreen does need a redesign tho. The high position definitely buffets the helmet (im about yams size). Also has trouble turning over the first time during cold starts. On the 2nd attempt it starts right up. Overall tho the bike is super enjoyable to ride and ill be keeping it for a while

Glad to see you finally review this

[@Danol123]

Having tried the Tiger 660 Sport myself i have to say i’m baffled at you saying you want to fix the throttle. I think it should remain the way it is. Throttle on an Indian in sport mode for reference is too snappy and outright dangerous. Even the new CBR1000RR-R Fireblade has better throttle control. Point is it’s a relaxed, yet sporty bike. And a relaxed throttle control is precisely why this is good as an entry level bike that you never need to upgrade away from. Right now i ride a VL1500 Intruder, and that’s 1 of 40 bikes i’ve ridden so far. And the Tiger 660 Sport is by far the best engine i’ve ever felt on a bike. The engine is perfect, originally i tried the Daytona, but realizing it was the same engine was enough to convince me. I love the 660 Sport, but one thing i will agree upon is the fact that it needs cruise control.

[@dcjr1053]

I have a perfectly good Versys 650, but yet I feel the need to get a Tiger. That triple just looks way more fun.

[@guillermoyelamo5816]

It would be interesting to compare it with the 2023 Trident to see if Triumph has given it the same refinement and character that this one has. Personally I like the Trident better, it’s more aesthetically pleasing with its retro vibe, but listening to papa Yam talk about how neutered the Trident was back when he rode it the first time makes me wonder if Triumph decided that the Trident should be a step “below” the Tiger 660 in terms of performance. I could be getting into a Trident 660 soon but this one makes me think twice about it. Great video!

[@A_Dirrty_Bird]

It is literally the exact same engine/transmission/final drive in both bikes

[@A--lex]

It's not that it's worse than the tiger it's that the engine fits better in this sport touring package according to yammie at least

[@pocketlint82]

I have a 23 trident. I think the only reason he says that is cause he's comparing the trident to an mt07 (which has a really peppy throttle. And basically worse eveything else imo) and comparing the tiger to a versys which is alot lazier feeling. But really they handle about the same. Also the throttle lag is only really noticeable in neutral and with the clutch in. In gear it feels good, and with a quick shifter it feels even better. People say the dnk tune fixes all that anyway, which I will be doing right after the warranty is up

[@guillermoyelamo5816]

@@pocketlint82 I owned a 2019 MT07. Sold it a couple of months ago, not a very good decision but adulting situations got in the way, now I want to get back to riding and want something in the same vibe as the MT but a bit more upscale and better looking. MT07 is the benchmark here IMO but I’m going to leave it outside the conversation for obvious reasons. Before buying my MT07 I tested a Trident 660 when it just came out in 2021, very refined and handsome bike, but the Yamaha was cheaper so I pulled the trigger, that was the only reason. Both bikes are amazing but each one offers a little bit different experiences on their own. I like more the classic looks though. I’ll be hitting my closest Triumph dealership tomorrow to see what’s the deal with this Tiger Sport 660 and then make a decision. Thanks for your comment!

Im really debating between this Tiger 660, Trident 660 and the CB650-R. The Tiger makes most sense with wind protection I need and for luggage bags but Trident looks so much cooler and CB650-R is just awesome too and unique especially with the nice convenient new E clutch which would be very nice in city and traffic riding. But the Trident and CB650-R dont really have any options ive found for good wind protection. If I could have my perfect bike, it would be the 2024 CB650-R with a nice adjustable windshield like the Tiger with clean luggage bags. The Tiger Sport is everything I want except not my favorite looking. Tough decision although it's not ugly just obviously not as slick as a naked.

You need to get hold of a Yamaha Tracer 7. I rode the Tiger Sport and Tracer 7 and preferred the Tracer. Both are awesome though

[@bigblue729]

Tracer 7 hasn’t made its way to the states yet. I don’t know if it ever will but we did get the tracer 9.

[@DowntownMalone]

This bike is beautiful!

Hi. A quick question. How is Triumph Tiger Sport 660 compared to KTM 790 Adventure? Which one would be better since here in Norway, they are sold (almost) at the same price point :)

[@slowsteve3497]

They are very different. Triumph is really a sport tourer like versys 650. Ktm is great off-road with 21 inch front tire.

[@Uriel-Septim.]

Køre du kun på asfalt så gå efter Tigeren, køre du en del offroad/grus veje så vælg KTM´en.

[@NakulSaxena]

@@Uriel-Septim. Hei. Takk for svar. Jeg skal kjøre mest på asfalt tror jeg og motorvei. Så er det Triumph kanskje bedre alternativ :) Jeg har allerde en KTM Duke 390 men ønsker å 'oppgradere' til tung MC og derfor var litt usikkert hvis jeg skal fortsette med KTM eller skal velge en fra Triumph :)

[@Uriel-Septim.]

@@NakulSaxena Jeg køre på en Suzuki 650 bandit fra 2008 og ønsker en ny/nyere model, så jeg overvejer en tiger 660 som en direkte udskiftning, tror den er super god til hverdags kørsel og lidt touring i weekenden, men jeg bor også i København og har meget få grus veje her, det vil være by/landevej og lidt motorvej den kommer til at køre 99% af tiden, så har indskrænket det til Tiger 660, suzuki versys 650 eller MT 07 men tror den 3 cylender motor vil være sjovest og kan også bedst lide designet.

[@chrispetrou9926]

Here in Europe, the Tracer 7 is the king of this category. Unfortunately, it's not available in the US market which i find kinda strange.

[@dreamcrusher112]

tracer 9 outsells these massively.

[@aToxicPotato338]

God I wish this bike was available in the states. My #1 pick but it is unobtainium

[@Nucklehead-mm9gf]

Can you get a windshield like that for the Trident 660? I really need wind protection in Northeast. Im about to trade my Harley in and am debating between Trident 660 and CB650-R but this Tiger setup honestly makes more sense for me but if zi can get a windshield like this, im good going with Trident 660.

[@judge831]

I'd love to see you test ride the Suzuki GSX-8S and Honda Hornet 750.

[@zanahsan]

Brentune makes an ECU Flash! 🏍️💨

[@andrishardins5984]

Dealer tried to sell me this instead of Trident, because they were out of stock, I went on neighbor country dealer to get my Trident next day I got my license.

[@kdawg198]

love how gixxer brahs manic laugh is rubbing off on u lolll

[@photographerjonathan]

You say the Michelin Pilot Road 6 is your favorite road tire. how do they compare to the Pirelli Rosso lV tires that I have on my Ducati 939 Supersport. please explain the difference if you can. Triumph had a test ride day so I tested around five bikes. I test road the Trident and it felt a little underwhelming for me. but I did try the Street Triple RS first. so it was hard to live up to that. and then I tried the 900 Tiger with the triple engine, and I was underwhelmed by that also. I expected more from it. it didn't seem to have any of the insane power of the Yamaha XSR 900 triple. now I wish I would've tried the tiger 660 instead of the Trident. please answer my tire question.

[@twobrotherscycleanda]

I'd love to see the xr150l.

[@calebh2642]

I hope the Tiger sport gets the updated engine from the Daytona 660

[@ADVJunkie]

So I watched this video because I was seriously contemplating one of these but couldn’t decide. After I watched the vid I thought hell I’ll call the local dealer. Well I’ll be damned if there didn’t have a BRAND NEW 2022 FOR 7K. Needless to say I’ll be driving it home tomorrow 😂🤙🤘

[@ellwoodwolf]

I’m thinking this or z900rs... sure they are completely different... but not another parallel twin, I can promise you that.

[@3089280288]

except the shifter is DIFFERENT from the other models with its tight shifter. CF Moto 650 MT is nice

[@douglasalexander4348]

So the mt09 tracer hasn’t existed all this time ? Riding both, the mt has very nice power lower in the Rev range, more suited to this style of bike ? I like the bigger powered triumph triples, but the 660 was just ok.

[@toofastnobrakes]

I only wish they had a few larger displacement versions that looked like this one

[@yammienoob]

They make the tiger 900 GT which is basically the same tbh

[@thumperjdm]

Yup. Like the discontinued Tiger Sport 1050, I really wish Triumph would make a new TS1160, with the Speed Triple's engine.

[@toofastnobrakes]

@@yammienoob yeah but the styling isn’t the same. The Bigger tigers are kinda ugly IMO

[@TronciM]

Tiger 850 sport

[@toofastnobrakes]

@@TronciM the word was “looked” like this bike. I do not like the style of the larger tigers at all

[@florabee9283]

Sorta brings to mind the Bandit 650

[@cruze86]

Absolutely correct title 👍🏻.

[@falcon7404]

Can we get a Triumph Tiger 1050 review?

[@drysd63]

Can you comment on the SV650 related to this one? Big fan! Keep it fun mr.YN

[@321bigbang]

Any vibrations ?

[@Spy_Pigeon]

Waiting on the mx and enduro modles to drop from triumph hope its not another ktm style bike

[@RollinWeight910]

The Tiger Sport 660 or the MT-07, with the consideration of price

[@FireFlyCL]

Good review, im between this bike and the CF Moto 800MT :c
