Classic Bike Buyers Guide 2013:“this superlative piece of top-flight British motorcycling engineering has just entered its fifth decade and is faster, more surefooted, more reliable and better value that it ever was-or is ever likely to be.From the moment you prod into life the 741cc, 67mm x 70mm, all-alloy engine, you get your first inkling that all the doom & gloom gossip commonly bandied around about these classic pushrod triples is long past its sell-by date. And that delicious surge you feel when you first wring the throttle heralds one of the best threesome experiences you’re ever likely to get, taking you all the way up to around 120mph-and beyond…It's a powerful, confident and comfortable bike (both solo and two-up) and has plenty of road presence for the rough and tumble of modern motoring. True, the controls are a little heavy when stationary. But on the hoof, you quickly make the necessary adjustments except, perhaps, in the heaviest of traffic…According to Triumph, the Trident was “The most challenging example of primeval power on the road”. But to the rest of us, it’s simply a British muscle bike at its best….At around 4,500-5,000rpm, Trident warp drive kicks in and you can quickly forget your love for British parallel twins and go boldly where lots of men have been before ..
