2021 Triumph Trident 660 Triple

I heard they are coming out with an ADV version, same engine based with Trident, but frame wise with Tiger900 DNA, to compete against Versys650/ Vstrom650/ CB500x and the like.... That I would be interested....

Me, too. Especially if the pegs were lower and more forward, like a real ADV bike.

I don't know if you've had a chance to see this, but there is more to trident that meets the eye

I laid out a few thoughts about it in my blog

Cool blog, Tod. Thanks for sharing it. The Trident concepts look really interesting. I only wish there was a better dealer network in my part of the country. I live in small town, but the Japanese big four, HD, and Polaris all have dealers with full service departments within 20 minutes of my house. Triumph--there's only one within 200 miles. That's not a deterrent, just an inconvenience. Maybe it will be worth it in a couple of years when the ADV model gets here.

The Honda in the segment has more HP and same torque. I like the styling better too. The only Triumphs that could entice me would be the speed twin maybe the Daytona as a track bike.

I rode a CB650F and it was the typical high-revving inline 4. Hoping the Trident has more low end power than the Street Triples too.

I had a recent opportunity to ride a new ST765RS. It had a bit of jam over the CB, less weight, but overall I couldn't imagine myself putting the kind of miles on a Street Triple that I do on the CB1100. Which in the 4 years I owned it, just passed 82000KM (50000 mi). It just wasn't as comfortable or refined.

Interesting that they put "short workshop maintenance time" as marketing claim. Seems they are really aiming for those who plan to use it daily.

Hmm, nice toy. Small for me; my sorry butt would likely slide off the taillight. Wouldn't that be a meat grind?

It would be very uncomfortable, GoldOxide.
