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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@royal-enfield1]

i think it just needs a taller & wider windscreen to be perfect 👌

[@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

[@Nucklehead-mm9gf]

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.

I was lucky and got a chance to ride one of these, it is an amazing bike. The feeling in twisties was the only thing that left something a bit feeling off. I wasn't a big fan of how it flicks into corners, I think that may related to the height though. This thing was one of the higher riding position sports bikes I've been on, but I think for a tall rider this bike is gonna be perfect (I'm 5'10 for ref).

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.

A twin cylinder beauty

[@ridernotrunner]

It's a triple! 3 cylinders!

[@aToxicPotato338]

triple*

[@judge831]

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

[@footballbharat]

I don't own a bike but still...can't stop watching Papa yammie videos.

[@yammienoob]

cmon get a bike!!!

[@rd4k04]

I commute everyday on a Gold Wing. No problem

[@subzero-ku2wx]

Test rode one. Wind turbulence is horrid. A used Tracer 9 with a bit more power would be better value for the money, not that the turbulence is likely to be much better.

[@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

[@drysd63]

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

[@stevec6427]

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.

[@elkatrin8247]

I like it ..great info 🎉

[@aryencas]

Thanks a lot for the review. Anybody noticed that the clutch cable is right in front of the TFT screen? A I am wrong? If it’s like that it disturbs me.

[@ellwoodwolf]

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

[@Tekdiver1981]

I hope they make a Tiger Sport 1200 RS

[@3089280288]

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

[@aboutfaceretreats6562]

Tempting and financing looks better than inflation right now

[@ridernotrunner]

First! And I daily one of these bikes! Love mine!

[@FireFlyCL]

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

[@aye_aye_ron_boy]

Can’t have it all but Triumph gets closer to it than any other in its class, be it the Trident or the Tiger (same same). It’s the same review, as it should be. Feels as though this engine with this tune suits the form of the tiger more and the expectation for the trident is something more powerful. If the trident owned the Daytona 660 tune and the Daytona pushed closer to the grailed 675, I’m sure we’d see nothing but aces across the board…but can’t happen at the price Triumph is delivering.

[@aye_aye_ron_boy]

Also if you waited it out and snagged a brand new 2023 recently, 7200 usd out the door makes this best bang for buck bar none. Might be biased but tell me I’m wrong lol

[@falcon7404]

Can we get a Triumph Tiger 1050 review?

[@svaralen]

A real beauty!! Do you think it is beginner friendly as a first bike or maybe too much in the start!? Suck a complete bike, for everything 👍✌️

[@Uriel-Septim.]

80 HP is not too much for a beginner IMHO unless your 18 yo and don`t believe you can die, but then any bike is probably too much, put it in rain mode for the first week and get used to it, the good thing is that you won`t get tired of it fast like you would with a 125-300 ccm bike.

[@svaralen]

@@Uriel-Septim. Thanks for your reply, I am in fact a 52 year old beginner passing from maxi scooter to proper motorcycles, looking for a versatile first bike!! My first choice is the Suzuki SV650, but kind of like more ADV-s as this Triumph 😎✌️. Thanks again and regards from Serbia 🇷🇸
