Triumph Trident 660
"A stylish and confidence-inspiring middleweight naked bike that blends comfort, usable power, and everyday practicality — though newer riders may notice the weight and wider turning circle at slower speeds “Enough power to have fun with while still being comfortable and practical.”"
Personal notes
The Trident 660 feels like one of those bikes designed to grow with the rider rather than be outgrown quickly For beginners especially, it seems to hit a really appealing balance: enough performance to stay exciting long-term, but delivered in a way that still feels approachable and manageable. Dani’s comments about commuting and freeway riding highlight that nicely — the bike has enough power and comfort to handle real-world riding confidently without feeling excessive The slower-speed challenges are also very realistic for newer riders stepping into middleweight bikes. Weight and turning circle matter far more in carparks and U-turns than they do flying down the highway, and that’s often where confidence gets tested early on Once riders adapt though, bikes like the Trident tend to reward smooth riding and build confidence quickly. The upright ergonomics and triple-cylinder engine also give it a really versatile character that suits a wide range of riding styles
