Featured Trident Just Ordered My Trident 660 – Triple Tribute Edition!

I was wanting to get a sport bike to compliment my Bonneville T120 and I was waffling between the Thruxton FE, used Thruxton 1200RS and a Kawasaki Z900RS. Then Triumph posted pics of the Slippery Sam Tribute Trident on my FB and I took the bait! I called my dealer and he put me on the list with a deposit.
Went in to the dealer yesterday to test ride a Trident 660 they have there. It was a fun, lightweight, spirited bike, lots of revs, agile, and solid! The Triumph rep was there, ridden in on his 2023 Thruxton RS and offered to let me take his for a ride as well. I think I've made the right choice, as much as I adore the Thruxton look, I'm a little too short for it. My bonneville is about as high as I'd like and I really thought the Trident at 31.7" height was going to be too tall but that seat is slender and allows me plenty of 1 up, 1 down stability.
I enjoyed riding the Thruxton but honestly, it was too close to the feel of my Bonneville T120. I wanted something sporty as a different choice on those days I just want to fly. I love cruising on the T120, and it's comfy, powerful, low end grunt, great engine. The Trident will be a high strung fun fling! My Bonnie and My Sammy – Can't want to see them in my garage together and out on the road!

 

Congratulations to your new bike!
Enjoy it, when you get it!

 

Hi happy new bike day. I have the 660 tiger sport and it is a terrific addition to any garage.

 

I also just purchased a 2025 Tribute Special Edition. Great looking bike but I would like to add some wind protection. I can't find any info on a touring screen for a 2025. The 2025 has a production installed flatscreen installed which it looks like would interfere with the 2024 Puig windscreen. I contacted PUIG and they said they haven't gotten any specs from Triumph yet so rich now I"m up S#$% creek without any wind protection. Any help out there would be appreciated.

 

So I ended up canceling the order for this bike mid summer before delivery. After a test drive, and thought, I just didn’t think it would be the bike for me.
I now have a Thruxton FE in my sights. I hope all that got one are enjoying it, it sure looks great!

 

@FlyingAce71: This sounds good!
All the best for your "deal"!

 

Congratulations!! Just got a 660 aswell 2026, unfortunately it already has problems going from Neutral to 1st and theres an incredibly annoying buzz coming from the front if the bike, brand new...Congratulations happy riding!

 

Thanks, I ended up getting the 2025 Thruxton FE. It's a bit too much bike for me and I'm thinking of selling it and looking for the original Triple Tribute Trident again. I should have just stuck with this order in the first place. Don't get me wrong, the Thruxton is an amazing bike, it's just a bit too tall for my short legs and a bit too powerful for confidence. It's also pretty uncomfortable for long rides... maybe a younger person would do better with this but this mid 50s guy... backache, wrist ache, numb butt!

 

@FlyingAce71 Lovely bike. Thanks for the picture. Bulldog had one in and i was torn between the two.

 

@Jack Montana Welcome. Fantastic that you got a 2026 bike.

 

@FlyingAce71:
We are born in the same year. I love my Rocket and my BMW1250 RS. Nothing is comparable to the power of a "big" bike. But: It is your personal decision and you have to feal confident!

 

@FlyingAce71, we've all (well I have anyway) been there with making a bike choice then "shifting "gears" so to speak and realizing a different choice would have been better.

 

That’s a pity. I bought my TTR aged about 61, and for some unknown reason I found it really comfortable. Shame it’s not for you, as the FE is a gorgeous bike.
