The Inline-Triple Engine That Could Change What Riders Expect From Middleweights

Middleweight motorcycles, in the last few years, have been getting considerably better at doing more with less.

There is now room between those two ends of the market for something with middleweight pricing, but one that offers considerably more middleweight performance.

Triple throttle bodies also contribute to the distinct intake whistle of the triple, before the engine develops the familiar Triumph howl as the revs climb.

At $10,599, however, it also costs $604 more than the Trident 800.

The Trident 800 isn't trying to become a cheaper XSR900.
