VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Triumph Tiger Sports 660's main rivals are the Kawasaki Versys 650, the Suzuki V-strom 650, Yamaha Tracer 700 and the Honda NC750X. In this video, I compare the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 with it’s competition on looks, exhaust note, aftermarket exhaust sounds, comfort, performance, engine specifications and power, rider aids and Tiger sport 660 price in USA, UK, India and Australia!

Since the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is a Tourer, I have also compared the fuel efficiency and range to showcase which of the 5 bikes can take you the longest distance before needing a fuel stop. The Suzuki Versys 650 is actually the one with the longest range, Tiger 660 is the best looking and also has the best looks, sound and rider aids. The Tiger 660 price is also very competitive for a highly premium motorcycle with differentiating features.

The only feature that the Tiger 660 lacks is a cruise control which would have been a very useful feature for long distance touring.

I've had two VStrom DL1000 motorcycles over the last 12 years.
You can't wear them out, I just bought a new one because I caught a year end closeout deal that was too good to pass up.
My old one ran better the day I sold it than the day I bought it.
Very reliable motorcycle.
My first one was a 2009, my new one is a 2019.

Best video ever on this subject, fantastic research and video.👍

[TheHomeExpert]

I really like the style of this video, you spent a lot of time with the exhaust notes, but you did it extremely well and it really did make a difference. Looks and sound are important on a motorcycle, even if they sound trivial to some.

Had my V Strom 650 10 years now, a second gen model. In 2018/9 I rode it 2 up around the world. No reliability issues, comfortable and 70mpg. Planning a round Europe trip this year.

Great video, love it, so I suscribed. My opinion:
*Looks, I know its subjective..but:
1. Yamaha Tracer
2.Triumph Tiger
3. Suzuki V Strom
4. Honda NC
5. Kawasaki Versys
*Engine:
1. Triumph, sporty and smooth
2. Suzuki, linear and reliable.
3. Yamaha, sporty
4. Kawasaki, reliable
5. Honda, high torque, low hps.
* Aids/ electronics:
1. Tiger
2. NC
3. Vstrom
4.Versys
5. Tracer
* Value:
1. Tiger
2. Vstrom
3. NC
4. Tracer
5. Versys
*Reliability:
1. Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha
5. Triumph
Overall I think it depends of your taste and riding style, you want power and electronics the Tiger wins hands down, you want a sporty and light tourer then the Tracer wins, want something confortable and all around the Honda wins with that DCT, you want a good overall tourer then the Versys, you want an all rounder tourer with a bulletproof engine and capable of mild off road then the Vstrom.
The only thing missing for the Tiger was the cruise control.
Lets see Suzuki's answer for the next 650 Vstrom Gen.
My final take: The Vstrom.

Thank you for the detailed comparison! I considered the NC750x and the Versys when I got my VStrom (the T700 is not available here). My wife chose the VStrom as soon as she tried the pillion seat. The Tiger is tempting, but what scares me away from it and other "premium" brands is the cost of maintenance/parts. The Trident is supposed to have been designed to cost less to maintain; I hope the Tiger 660 achieves that too. Then if it passes the wife test, it will be unbeatable for me!

What a great idea to add exhaust sounds! Very well done, and thank you!

[konovo]

I got the 2022 versys 650 as my first streetbike but iv raced dirtbikes for as long as I can remember. I'd love to ride others but as far as I can tell the versys doesn't have any problems with it. I'd prefer a more fun bike like a super sport or something super peppy like a KTM Duke or yamaha mt series bike but as for comfort with all around reliability the versys has all the boxes checked at a decent price.

Great video, I have just bought the Honda NC750 DCT, I have ridden many motorcycles and I really believe that I now have the complete motorcycle,
It just does everything, !the figures bothered me a little, power, torque etc as compared to the rest of the bikes featured it seemed underpowered, but after riding it all my worries were resolved.

I bought a V-strom 4 years ago and I’m not tempted to change it with any of these other bikes. 16k miles no problems at all 75mpg. Yes I’m not keen on the front but you can’t see that when you’re riding it. Best feature is the engine and reliability. I’ll be keeping mine. Doesn’t hurt that I have a great dealership in my locality.

[pavelmullo]

suzuki is the only one that will give any comfort if you plan to do any offroad, but on the good quality roads I guess it is about the look, reliability, aspect of fun vs. comfort, high way traveling vs. cornering stability, and people will be ranking them according to their preferences.

[shone]

VStrom in my opinion...i gotta one last year 😁😁😁. By the way, excellent review. You have my subscription 👍 Regards from Serbia 🇷🇸

[Bigmick]

I’ve got a 2017 VStrom and wouldn’t swap it for anything. Triumph are at the $$$ end in Australia. Suzuki win for me. Also, I’m getting 500km per tank on average. I am doing a lot of Hwy driving to work however

[meattooth]

without riding any of these bikes before, the triumph looks, sound and specs overall seem the best, IMO.

[kumonojuuza]

I have v strom and i love It.. but i would have more Power.. i think 85/90 HP it's enought.. and 850cc

[TrustyZ]

Love my '22 black 650 XT Adventure. Wouldn't trade for any of these bikes. I'm sure they're all fine machines, but after having 2 3rd gen 650's, these bikes continue to amaze me. From being overloaded with gear and my gf up long, steep grades on the highway in 105 deg. weather to twistier than twisty mountain roads the little VTwin never gives up. And no matter what anyone says, I admire the presence of the DL.It looks as cool as my HD Low Rider S when it's sitting next to it.

[pcofranc]

NC750X - actual fuel consumption is 56 to 58MPG with a top case and very tall aftermarket windshield and the only engine that is basically vibration free at all rpms but you give up power as it is adequate but the least powerful of the bunch. Versys is very very buzzy and the triumph should be the smoothest with 3 cylinder but it's not. SV650 is also very smooth and tried and true engine.

[Alfra]

I really liked the triumph, but I wish it had a bigger fuel tank! Like the Versy’s!! I pick the Versy’s because it does everything well, I’m not saying the rest of the bikes don’t!, I just think the Versy’s is a best option for touring and for 2022 Kawasaki added traction control and led lights! Thank you Kawasaki finally!!!! 👍

[NEX-tj]

The tracer is not even a touring bike, thats a roadster with a little more plastic

[enriquejaimes]

For me, the better looking by far is the tracer > versys > tiger > ncx750 > vstrom
