2026 Triumph Trident 800 Review | Live reaction and ride review!

Welcome to my review of the new Triumph Trident 800, the faster, meaner twist on the existing Trident 660 with the 115hp engine from the Tiger Sport 800 I was riding on the channel not so long ago. This makes it a true rival for fancier and more expensive rivals like the Yamaha MT-09 and XSR900 … but can it really compete? Join me on the international launch event in Cyprus as I attempt to find out! Chapters: 0:00 – Intro: spec, rivals and price 4:19 – Onboard: riding position, size and Trident 660 comparisons 7:11 – Onboard: engine and performance: GIVE IT SOME REVS! 9:41 – Onboard: rider modes compared 12:31 – Onboard: suspension and handling 14:05 – Verdict: pick of the middleweight nakeds? Kit: Helmet - Shark Aeron Leathers – Furygan Raptor Evo 3/Drack pants Gloves – Furygan Styg 20 X Kevlar Boots – Vanucci RV6 Performance Related videos https://youtu.be/FuGDTDI9G5k https://youtu.be/pXt9fuO5LM0 https://youtu.be/POhSuvu7ow8 https://youtu.be/73VLwCJnikg https://youtu.be/7nDL-HGVjX4 https://youtu.be/ISpPKFxK4Cs For more great motorbike content don't forget to like, subscribe to @midlifecrisismotorcyclist and hit the bell to be the first to find out when a new vid drops.

2026 Triumph Bonneville T100 & T120 review | New! Improved?

Welcome to the third and final chapter in my series of videos from the 2026 model year Triumph Modern Classics launch in California and a ride on the new and updated Bonneville T100 and T120. Like the Scrambler 900, Bobber and Speedmaster you’ll have seen me riding in the other videos the main story is the new tech. But I’ve never ridden a Bonneville of any sort before either, so it’s a chance to see if it really lives up to the hype… Chapters: 0:00 – Intro 0:35 – 2026 Bonneville … what’s actually new? 2:02 – T100 versus T120 2:49 – T100 riding impressions: first time on a Bonneville! 3:57 – T100 onboard: Bonneville versus Interceptor 650 5:35 – T100 onboard: parallel twins are boring? 7:11 – T100 onboard: ruined by tech? 8:35 – T120 onboard: really a step up from the T100? 10:15 – T120 onboard: ride and handling 12:10 – Verdict – worth the money over an Enfield?

2026 Triumph Bobber and Speedmaster review | Peg-scraping fun on Triumph’s reborn cruisers

Welcome to the second instalment from my trip to California to ride Triumph’s updated 2026 Modern Classics line-up, and my first time riding the Bonneville Bobber and Speedmaster. Pegs were scraped, fun was had! See the video for more but the short version is both bikes get the updated rider electronics applied to the rest of the Bonneville range, so cornering ABS and traction control plus some detail upgrades to the wheels, styling and more besides. Interestingly both are now available in restricted A2 licence form for the first time as well, opening them up to a new, younger audience than before. What are they actually like to ride, though? Thanks also to @neevesybikes for the tips on body position so as to avoid scraping pegs on cruisers like the Speedmaster. For his full explanation see: https://youtu.be/XFXpnkMc138?si=peS6FhBlwS5S9ysp&t=745 Chapters: 0:00 – Intro 0:40 – 2026 Bobber, same as the old Bobber? 2:02 – Triumph Bonneville Bobber versus rivals 3:24 – Onboard riding impressions: beach front cruising in California! 4:50 – Onboard riding impressions: what’s the difference? 5:36 – Onboard riding impressions: performance 7:05 – 2026 Speedmaster intro: what’s new? 8:10 – Onboard riding impressions: grind those pegs! 8:21 – Onboard riding impressions: performance and handling 11:58 – Verdict: 2026 Bobber and Speedmaster conclusions 13:04 – Would you REALLY have one of these over a Harley?

Living with a Triumph Daytona 660 | Sports bike as a daily?

I’ve been running this Triumph Daytona 660 for the last month and a bit and … what have I learned? Well, in this second video I share some further thoughts and observations on why it might not be the sports bike people wanted. But it might just be the sports bike for our times. And if that doesn’t float your boat maybe you won’t have that long to wait before a new-school Daytona worthy of the name arrives.
