2021 Triumph Trident 660 first impressions // HOW is this only $8K?

What an awesome little machine! The middleweight naked sportbike scene is on fire right now, but Triumph still managed to stand out with their new entry into the segment. The Trident 660 boasts a triple cylinder engine (unique to the class), a comprehensive electronics package, excellent looks and fit/finish, and a price tag of just over $8,000 USD. This is the first time I've ever called a Triumph a bargain, but the Trident really is a heck of a lot of bike for the money. Come along with me as I take it for a spin in Colorado and find out what all the hype is about.
