Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Trident 660 2026

The Triumph Trident 660 takes a big step forward for the 2026 model year and now fully utilises the maximum throttleable power of 95 Horsepower in the A2 class. The clever mid-range naked bike also continues to score points with a complete electronic equipment package ex works and a 6-axle IMU. Anyone looking for a well-balanced, technically well-equipped all-round roadster will find a strong partner in the Trident 660.

Well-balanced handling

high-quality electronics & quickshifter as standard

effective cruise control

well-modulated brakes

attractive three-cylinder sound

solid suitability for everyday use

moderate weight

safety-relevant Advanced Rider Assistance Systems as standard, great engine with plenty of power in a class comparison

can be throttled for A2 driving licence

Fork not adjustable

LCD/TFT cockpit not visually up to date

hook spanner required for shock preload adjustment

steel swingarm

Suzuki GSX-8T 2026

With the GSX-8T, Suzuki delivers a bike with character, suitability for everyday use and independent style. The mixture of classic appearance and modern technology is a success, and the positioning as a high-quality character with retro charm is fitting. In short, it is the 8S for adults. However, the entry into a new retro generation at Suzuki is not entirely favourable.

Cultivated engine

good suspension

high-quality finish

good features

suitable for everyday use

powerful LED-Headlights

pleasant ergonomics

large range

successful appearance

Licence plate holder disturbs otherwise wonderful appearance

high price

TFT screen somewhat carelessly pulled into the retro concept
