Hello From Greece

Hi all. I'm in the process of buying a triumph and I'm between 2 models. One is the street twin and the other is the newcomer, the Trident. I know they're different in nature but I'll know when I actually see the Trident up-close and see how it feels. Do you have any key-points on the street twin or any comments that might help.

I'm a new comer as a rider aged 44. I want something that will do for commuting as well as weekend rides near the city.

 

Hi and welcome to the forum. On your choice of bike you will get a lot of feedback on the street twin as there are loads of owners on the forum. The new trident is a different one. As there is really only the published triumph advertising material out there you will only get an opinion from the members. imo I would go for the street twin as they are available now and it will meet your commuting requirement and weekend riding really well. If you are still not sure, then wait and test ride both bikes before making your final choice. Good luck

 

Thanks for the reply, so I should ask in the proper thread I guess right?

 

Hi mate and welcome

 

Nope you are ok here for starters

 

Welcome in! I’m afraid I can’t read your name though, it’s all Greek to me

 

I know... hahaha sorry I did it by mistake and left like that but cant seem to find the way to change it... And to think I work with computers on my face everyday... It's Nassos by the way

 

Hi Nassos, thank you. Whereabouts in Greece are you? I bet its a delight on a bike in Greece at the moment i have to say.

 

Hi, Welcome from another foreigner on this forum

 

Athens. And yes if you're near Athens and the Peloponnese peninsula it's great to ride almost the entire year. We have something like 10-20 days of cold throughout the year. And by cold I mean 3-4 celsius and thats close to the mountains.

 

There are no foreigners on the forum, just like minded bikers

 

Hello and welcome to the forum Nassos.

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Hi Nassos and welcome to the forum Speed twin is a great ride and a good first bike

 

Hello Nassos and welcome to the forum

 

Welcome aboard Nassos. I ride a Street Twin. It makes an excellent first bike and should meet your needs. Do try to get a test ride on both though.

 

Thanks for the information. That’s my idea actually to ride them both. But the trident will be here end of February...

 

Welcome Nassos. My wife's father's name was 'Joras'. We know very little of him since he passed-on when wife was quite young. Enjoy the fine folks here !

 

Hi Nassos and welcome in!!!
Beautiful roads and weather where you are so enjoy!!!
Get sticky tyres on whatever you ride as those roads are going to be wonderful with them!!

 

Hey nice to meet you. Thanks for the welcome
