Just came back to this review with a smile on my face. I've had my Trident for 7 weeks and 1400 miles and absolutely love it. What a fun ride. No noticeable throttle lag. Flicks into corners. Torque everywhere. Quickshifter on order will make it even more fun. After being cooped up for two years, and having not ridden while raising kids, this bike is a gift from the heavens. Thanks Yam and crew for all the great content.

I agree with your entire review including the part about whether or not it's for a first rider-someone who is a bit older with more emotional control over their faculties and a higher level of maturity hits perfect for the first bike.

[@guillermoyelamo5816]

I test rode this today... still can’t believe how good this bike is, it fits my criteria perfectly on what I want on a motorcycle at the moment. Plus Yammie description of it is pretty accurate in most cases (I think he was a salesman or a real estate broker in a past life, this man knows how to sell stuff!). No frills, good looking, well made and a motorcycle brand with legendary reputation. I think we have a winner here.... love at first ride.

[@ribalderr6052]

legendary for what? shaking, breaking down, leaking, whack elecs and rusting?.

[@stilldajoker]

@@ribalderr6052 naw, maybe just great looking nostalgia tee shirts.

[@trextexting]

For those wondering... the fast flashing of the RPMs is a "break-in mode" that will indicate when you either need to shift or chill on the revs during the break-in period. This can be disabled in the settings. The brake lever is adjustable, the clutch is NOT. That said, TEC is a UK parts maker that has a division in the US and offers a great set of black adjustable Clutch and Brake lever for about $70 and are excellent quality. the tank is metal but the cover is not, so if you wanted to change the look to a different version ( i wasnt fast enough to secure a matte black so I got the sapphire black same as this vid) I found out from Triumph parts you can swap the tank cover, rear under tail cover, radiator end panels and front fender should you want a different variant look

[@markbock3027]

That front brake complaint is not uncommon for a lot of Triumphs with Nissin calipers. I think it’s the brake pads they use. A set of EBC HH pads improves them massively. This is a compelling bike even for guys like me who own four other Triumphs and have been riding for years. It seems like the perfect commuter bike and fun around-town transport. And I love how its design calls back to the ‘90s Trident, which was itself a more everyday-street-friendly variation on the original Speed Triple.

[@onecookieboy]

If the bike is brand new I am pretty sure that Triumph have a break in programme in the ECU that won't let you access full throttle opening or maximum power. A few more miles on the clock and it will go even better, the beakes might even improve.

[@martindelrosario4676]

Bout time you bought one Yammie! You’re one of the main reasons I decided to buy this bike over the competition

[@donaldl6076]

I own this bike. I’m a beginner rider and as my first bike, it works well for me. It has punchy power when you open the throttle but it is stable during take off for beginners. I ride it for fun and on Virginian roads, it works well. Highway wind is annoying. Crouching required.

[@utchabayski]

looking at the trident for my first too. how light does it feel at low speeds, have you dropped it or been close to?

[@donaldl6076]

@@utchabayski Yeah. I had one close call. I’m in my late 30s so I’m not an aggressive rider and when I do ride, I’m doing joy rides rather than for commuting. The bike is average in weight when turning with speed. Low speed maneuvering is always risky. The bikes turning circle is not great. Given I am a new rider I bought the frame protection kit. If buying brand new, during the break in period the onboard computer limits your bike so it will feel slower (but safer) to let you gain confidence (and to protect the engine). Once you complete your break in period, the limiters are automatically disabled and you can gain more speed at lower gears. It’s a really cool bike for beginners. I still ride once a week and having clocked 1033 miles in the last two months, I feel it’s pretty forgiving for beginners. The gear change is smooth. Neutral can sometimes be a pain to get to but gear up and down has been easy. I did change out the brake and clutch levers. The clutch lever was non-adjustable and it was pretty spaced out. It can be tiring pulling it in from afar as a beginner as your nerves insist that you keep your hand out there. Hope that helped. Stay safe.

Whitney has a distinct philosophy as a rider, even if she does not have your broad knowledge of motorcycles. I urge you to capitalize on that. Do a review one-on-one with her.

It's probably such a good motorcycle, because when they designed it, they DIDN'T fall prey to the ultra-irritating thing of thinking of it as a "BEGINNER" bike (because it's a 650). They treated it as what it IS, which is what they USED to be called; a M I D D L E W E I G H T bike! N O T a "Beginner" bike. Why does everyone on these videos think that anything less than 1000cc is a "beginner" bike, just because it has a smaller capacity????? Hopefully, Triumph will now lead the way towards lots more MIDDLEWEIGHT bikes being treated as legitimate bikes of DESIRE, rather than something you start on, then ditch, once you've got the money for a "Litre Bike". Okay, when I was learning in the UK, as a learner, you were restricted to 125cc, before you got your licence. Then you got what you wanted - step through, small bike, middleweight or BIG bike (1000cc +). Now the law seems to have changed and you can get middleweight bikes on a learner licence. So there should be specifically designed "beginner" bikes in the middleweight class. But middleweights SHOULD NOT be totally restricted to being designed specifically for learners. And the 660, is not designed primarily for beginners (like teh Ninja 650). But as a MIDDLEWEIGHT bike you truly WANT. EXCELLENT Triumph! I WANT one!!!

Yeah this does my head in too. I have a 1250gs and a ninja 1000 and I'm looking to pick up a 650 naked of some sort because they are fun at road legal speeds and great for filtering through traffic and riding round town. 650cc bikes are just super fun and more affordable. I'd argue the 250-500cc bikes are more beginner specific bikes.

Dang it Yammie, I’m three 3wks away from buying an MT-07 and now you have to drop this beautiful triumph in my face!?

[@stevemurtz3546]

Take the MT07

[@johnburton8902]

The MT07 it is! That dang bike is just freakin fun to ride haha. Tested the trident today and it just don't have the same punchy attitude.

[@liamfreese7661]

I would love to see you testing the Triumph Street Triple

[@marcisvibergs9992]

19:15 "so hard to get this bike".... kek. was just today in the triumph dealership in Pattaya Thailand. They have at least 5 bikes there. Guess thats one of the perks living in the country they are manufactured hehe

[@Pachi4026]

I was looking at the sv650, mt 07…did not even consider triumph for this category until the guy at the showroom pointed it out. I think this is the one.
