Better late than never, I finally got a proper few days on the Triumph Trident 800 and this video is basically me saying, “Yep… this is why people bang on about triples.” It’s a naked bike that just gets on with the job. I’m talking real-world road riding, not brochure nonsense—how it pulls in the mid-range, how easy it is to live with, and why it feels like one of the best options under the 10K mark if you want a proper do-it-all machine. I go through what impressed me across the board: the 789cc triple’s character, the slick 6-speed box with the up-and-down quickshifter, and the way the chassis feels planted without being harsh. You’ve got proper kit on it as well—Showa suspension, strong brakes, and sensible rider modes (Rain/Road/Sport) that actually make sense for UK riding. It’s simple, honest, no-nonsense fun… and for me that’s exactly what a naked bike should be.
