Triumph motorcycles

Two Triumph models on the books, from the Speed 400 at €5,745 to the Trident 660 at €8,295, scored between 51.5 and 54.6 out of 100. Scores are computed within each bike's own class, so the small bikes are ranked against their own rivals rather than against their bigger siblings; the Triumph that does best in its class is the Trident 660 at 54.6. The Speed 400 is the lightest at 170 kg wet, the cheapest at €5,745 and the longest between oil services at 16,000 km. Scheduled servicing runs from roughly €155 per 10,000 km on the Speed 400 to €160 on the Trident 660, on the workshop rates published with every maintenance guide. The most powerful is the Trident 660 with 81 hp, which the formula weighs against weight, price and running costs rather than taking at face value. Every figure comes from a spec sheet and feeds the same 100-point formula, so the order below is arithmetic rather than brand loyalty. Each card links to the bike's maintenance guide and its closest head to heads, and the table underneath puts the whole range in one place.
