Any Trident 660 owners or experience on the forum? Anything to watch out for?
It is on my cousin’s list of possible next bikes, downsizing (slightly!) from a Street Triple 765, although it might just be to have a new bike when her husband and I have got new toys this year!!
This is exactly what my mrs. did, and she loves it! The Street Triple was just a bit too much to handle for her, and the Trident was just the ticket. Docile in low revs, quite lively higher up in the rev range. It gave her lots of confidence. And it’s pretty to boot!
I had the 660 sport and it did use oil; lots of oil. Triumph said that it was industry standard for an engine to use 1litre of oil every 1000 miles. I have never had any bike that did this, so like @Joe I sold it.
Interesting - my son in law had a high spec Audi A4 which went through oil at a terrible rate, like quite a few VW/Audi cars, and got a similar excuse, industry standard (although in USA it became a class action and I believe VW/Audi paid out).
He had to sell that car at a horrible loss. I later read that it was the modern short pistons letting oil pass the piston rings, that’s my recollection anyway, a design/production fault.
I don’t think either of us will have another VW/Audi!!
