Triumph Trident 660 Tr Review

Used Buyer Review

The Trident 660 is Triumph doing exactly what they're good at — taking a middleweight platform and making it feel like more than the sum of its parts. That inline triple pulls cleanly from low revs and has genuine character, something the Kawasaki Z650 crowd simply doesn't get. Used examples from 2021 onwards are generally solid, but check the throttle bodies for any rough idle issues and inspect fairings carefully since owners drop these in parking lots more than you'd think. Riding position is upright and comfortable for most body types, and the chassis feels planted without being boring. It's no superbike, but that's not the point. Where it earns its money is real-world rideability — filtering through traffic, weekend canyon carving, occasional commuting. The electronics package is basic but sufficient. Don't expect cornering ABS or multiple ride modes on early builds. At used prices these genuinely represent smart buying. Just verify service history religiously — valve clearances at 10,000 miles aren't cheap if the previous owner ignored them.
