I really like that Trident. Time to get saving. Think it works out at £7500 with the official heated grips and the good colour scheme.

If they have a 0% APR option in the UK for Hire Purchase, I'd be well up for it on launch (they won't). I might get one after it's depreciated a bit for a year or two, on the used market (there will be tonnes).

There’s not enough 0% apr deals about. It’s nice knowing you are just paying the list price even if it’s over 3 years. Most triumph finance is 7.9% or more. They will sell loads of these anyway but at 0% they would sell a lot more and make more money. I’d never buy any accessories at anything over zero but I’d be tempted to get a few at 0%.

Wow that triumph really does look awesome. How fun is a triple compared to something like an SV650 motor?

It sounds amazing and has power all over the rev range. The fact that Triumph shut down the Isle of Man for a weekend, put us up at a four-star resort, and hired chefs to keep us fed well didn't change the perfect feel of the controls, the suspension tuned for street or track use, or the plush saddle that just made us feel like valentino rossi and the dalai lama had a baby that became emperor of the world

Fwiw engines built to a particular (usually legislated) power output number out of a more powerful engine usually range between uncannily flat and uninteresting all the way through to aggressively comatose. It is a steel frame budget chassis middleweight with a striple derived motor, take your hands off your willies people.

I was gonna say slavvy if you don't care for the CB650R it looks like there's a chance you won't like the Trident, just looking at the spec sheet Of course a bike being good or bad is often completely divorced from the spec sheet so

I have ridden a street triple 660 LAMS and it felt broken. Fitting a normal d675 ecu fixed it right up though! An engine built to make 70hp on it's best day is fun and interesting, most of the time, parallel twins excepted. An engine detuned to 70hp when it's designed for 100+ always, and I mean always, results in either a really weird truncated sensation to the way that it revs, or like you have a blocked pilot jet so 50% and 100% throttle feel basically the same.

If it helps I thought the Striple motor was dull as hell to start with. Like I can see why people like it, but I can also see why people ride like utter dickheads on them because there's almost no actual sensation of speed.

My first time on a striple was in the midst of daily riding a 1200 rex and I initially thought it was broken, then spent ages accidentally slamming into the limiter. But the handling was amazing but comparison!

The most most important traits for a weed dealer: 1. availability 2. quality 3. price 4. speed In that order. Sometimes 2,3,4 get flipped around. It would seem that particular dealer tried to reverse the natural order of things and paid the price.  candy man

2021 MT-07 page is up https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/hyper-naked/models/mt-07 Still not a fan of the new headlight style but it works better on the narrower 07 than on the 09. I'm mad jelly of those blinkers though

No, you aren’t, it suffers from JBVBS (Japanese bike visual busyness syndrome) but other than that looks real good. I am predisposed to like any bike that matches black or grey with a high contrast color

I’m definitely not a fan of the new styling or colour but taste is subjective. I really liked the gray/neon yellow look they rocked previously while others hated that so ...

I have the yamaha flushmounts on my MT-09 along with the integrated tail and I think it looks amazing. I have been super happy with the build quality of their stuff and what not, would definitely recommend.
