Really appreciate the reviews man! I was about to buy the Honda CB650R but changed my mind and put down a deposit for the Trident when I first saw the lauch event. The rear end, screen setup, lighter weight, torque delivery sold it for me. Can’t wait until January to ride this beauty

I think this is the bike that could get me back into biking after 30 years, looking forward to seeing it in my local showroom.

I've watched and read everything I can about this bike. I'm 60 yrs old and been riding over 40 yrs. I want this for my 2nd bike. Can't wait to test ride one this spring as I live in Upstate NY with snow on the ground right now.

Just bought this for my first bike and I definitely love it. It's comfortable, manageable around town, and looks so damn good!

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.

Triumph just knows how to style a bike just right, Triumph design is awsome

[stuartbaker]

Not just beginners I’m 65 want a lighter more nimble bike than my T120. Trident looks spot on. So I’ve ordered one getting it March.

Trident seems more interesting after this review they created and overall bike can do everything and it seems to be the best buy IMO

[larryesser]

This was a really well-done review; you covered all the important points without beating everything to death. It's a lovely bike and you nicely noted its features. Triumph has really come a long way and seems to making beautiful bikes for almost everyone.

My wife bought a Trident 660. It is fun, they made a spectacular bike. The fuel economy seems to drop off quickly on the highway though. 5th and 6th could be a little taller for fuel economy. I can pull 50-60 mpg on my Tiger 800 and she falls near the 40 mpg mark on the same long hauls. With the low profile seat and (aftermarket drop kit) she is very happy to join the Triumph family!

I am an older rider and I think this would be a good bike for me.

I am 43 and this is my second bike after riding an MT 03 for four years. I am absolutely happy with it. It has enough power and is beautiful visualy and to ride. I dont need anything else at the moment.

I just recently purchased this fine machine, and I couldn’t be happier!

I’ve never been crazy about flat paint jobs, but that black one with the white Triumph “Union Jack” logo is the best looking one 😉🏍👍.

[TheGreatestBeyonder]

New riders and commuters have never had it so good! It’s another lovely looking bike with the right features fitted and the unnecessary one’s omitted. It does sound however, completely strangled, but it’s nothing an aftermarket zoorst can’t fix (and there will be plenty soon enough)! Top mini review. Thanks 👍🏻

OUTSTANDING work on this video! this bike seems like a TON of fun for sure! I'd take one lol Nice work MB!

[brianashdown]

I owned a 1970 Triumph Trident 750. It was mildly chopped. It sounded like a 1000 Horsepower VW Beetle. I liked it!

[IvanDP]

Spectacular that Triumph has decided to make its presentation on the island of Tenerife, as many other brands have already done. Our landscapes and roads, a world reference for the world of motorcycles!

[ridelive]

Cute bike. Reminds me of my SV650 that stays in my heart forever. Clean, simple. Very nice.

[clintneville]

I’m 53 and in the middle of doing my full license. After watching this video I think I know what is going to be my first big bike! Great video and very informative. Cheers
