Cruiser Rider Shock! Triumph Trident 660 vs Speed Twin 900 First Impressions

Swapping my Kawasaki Vulcan S cruiser to test ride two incredibly popular bikes from Triumph: the naked Trident 660 and the modern-classic Speed Twin 900! Both of these Triumph test units are limited to 35kW for the European A2 driver's license, giving you a realistic look at how they perform under restriction compared to a full-power mid-size cruiser. In this POV motovlog, I break down the massive differences in seating ergonomics, cornering precision, and engine characters. I also share a couple of genuinely scary moments I had at intersections due to the shocking difference in engine braking between a heavy twin-cylinder cruiser and a smooth inline-triple naked bike. Whether you are looking to upgrade from your starter bike, or you're an A2 license holder deciding between a classic or a sportier naked machine, here is my authentic, first-ride breakdown. What are your thoughts on these three setups? Have you experienced a similar shock when switching motorcycle categories?
