Fellows I'm 72 years I learn how to ride on my first bike when I was 12 years old on a Triumph 500 1955 spit fire. My dearly uncle allowed me that opportunity and I never had turned back from those Iron horses. I drove must of old English bikes, then turned to Italian bikes and finally to Nipón bikes and some of the American "imitations" passing thru generations, like this new Triumph attacking the miles apparently, that if you not carefully respected, could be definitely the good bye, to those golden years.

I've come to the conclusion the Trident is a Street Twin and Street Triple S 660cc got together and had a love child. The Trident has the round headlight, and almost a pear shaped tank of the Twin. A single round clock (like the twin), but it's digital (like the triple) ! The engine mainly comes from the Street Triple 660, but the peak power output is half way between it and the Street Twin, with a bit more torque than the Street Triple 660cc but less than the Street Twin. The frame is more Street Triple , but the pillion seat from what I can see, looks a bit lower , wider and better for a pillion ( like the Street Twin ) So that's it, the Trident is a love child bike ! ( it is a bit more Street Triple than Street Twin but still :) ) It does look very good for the money, they're going to sell a load. If it had been out in June 2019 , I might have had one as my first big bike. Scrub that, I probably would have had one as my first big bike.

Single side exhaust , that looks like one side of the Twin.

As someone who owns a 2013 street triple r and wants something a little more relaxed this interests me, especially with a slip on and intake I wouldn't be surprised to find another 8hp out of it. However I hope they release a "S" version with upgraded suspension bits. Don't need to be ohlins just something with more adjustability. I owned a S2R800 with soft adjustable suspension and I didn't like it. I ended up swapping a lot to make it decent and eventually sold it for the better suspension and motor of the street triple r. I'll test ride it but I have a feeling I'll want something a bit firmer.

Hi Bob it's your cousin Gavin, don't know much about bike's, but I'm very impressed with your reviews on these motorised machines, you could maybe introduce your lancastrian accent so us northerners can understand your posh accent that you have acquired, haha 😂 only joking, I was showing my lad finlay your channel he was very impressed, saw uncle Mark up town the other day on chopper, keep up the good work motobob, hope you and your family are well 👍

The unconventional abbreviated tail section would make adding saddlebags or a tail pack problematic. Nobody mentions this flaw despite it's billing as an everyday practical bike.

Is this bike to please those people who do not like the headlights of the street triple? This is exactly what it looks when people swap the twin headlamps for a single round one. I love the street triple look.

I asked why they ditched the twin headlights which you’ll see on not only the street triple, but every other triple they make like the speed triple, tiger, and rocket. They said they wanted to give the trident its own identity and to not just be a lower spec street triple.

You did a great job showing the bike. I think it's going to be a seller! Looking forward to throwing a leg over for my own impressions. 6'2" and 210 Lbs. May be a deal breaker, but I'll remain optimistic haha. Cheers!

Worth a shot! On guy on the trip was more like 6'3" and he said it was still pretty comfortable, but of course a taller bike would offer a bit more space

No way to tell apart from drag race them. I doubt there's much in it though. The CB has the most power, but it's about 20kg heavier

Gorgeous looking bike in matte black. I hope that there will be a kit to move that number plate left or right of the rear tyre. It covers too much rubber and it's so yellow. It's the only thing so far that hurts my eyes. Well done Triumph. It might change my mind about buying the Indian Scout Bobber Sixty. Triumph also has far more dealers for service and parts than Indian.

Always puzzles me why most manufacturers tend to protect the rear of their model from a mudguard point of view but don’t deem it necessary to protect the engine/exhaust/radiator from dirt,stones etc by having a ridiculously short front mudguard that’s next to useless.

I'm giving serious thoughts to one of these next summer. I wonder what it would be like on a London commute. Also give hype on the trident I wonder how appealing it is for thieves and as a result London insurance rates. Finally this would be a commuter in to the city for me. Wil be interested to see how it stand up to UK winters

Thank you for another great review. I have two favorites in this segment midleweight naked. MT 07 and Trident. In my country is Trident more expensive about 1000 USD than MT 07. I think that Trident is probably better bike, but is it better about 1000 USD? What do you think? Thank you for your opinion.

I love the look and configuration of this bike, always been a fan of triples since my trident t150v back in the 70’s. The only thing I can criticise is the rear light assembly, I think it’s crap and hopefully a third party tail tidy putting the tail light and blinkers where they should be under rear section.

If you purely want a dollop of torque then the street twin still has it, but it’s heavier, brakes are worse, and it has no top end. So for quicker riding, the Trident wins hands down. Depends on what you’re after I guess...
