2020 Triumph Rocket 3 - Jay Leno’s Garage 

I’m the bleary-eyed fellow yakking with Jay. Thanks to everyone for watching. This was an incredible experience. I wish we could have delved into some of the more technical aspects of the bike, but I’m so happy the feel of it translated. It truly is a remarkable machine. Thank you as well to Jay and his amazing team. Exploring the garage never fails to take away my breath.

I bought one of the limited edition TFC versions. I had one of the older Rocket 3's previously (plus a T120 and a couple of Harleys) and just love this bike more than anything. It handles so much better than the previous version and, as Jay says, it stops really well when you consider its weight. The weight is low down so its dead easy to balance. I love mine. Its number 448 out of only 750 made and the TFC edition is slightly different from both the ones on Jay's show. The finishes are amazing. It has so much torque that 1st and 2nd are almost unnecessary. It is an incredible piece of engineering. Like Jay I am also getting a bit old for Café Racer positions. This is ideal for me. I love it. It's like taking a big, happy puppy out for a walk (well maybe a bit more challenging than that).

I am lucky enough to own the TFC!

Well Jay bet you're going to be buying a black one soon lol as you say John bloor put triumph on world scene again I've got a 2008 speed triple I've modified it loads nice good to see you like the bike fella knows his onions as well 😍🍀

I just bought one, omg what a great bike

I had a '73 Triumph Trident (the Rocket 3 was made be BSA back then). Nice bike, but it vibrated like nobodies business. When I out for a ride I always took a couple of taillight bulbs because the vibration shattered bulb filaments. I also took a master link having lost one on more than one occasion. I managed to hard ground the left hand exhaust pipe while going round a bend a bit too exuberantly which led to the installation of a Hooker header. On the way back to the car from The Grease Pit on Telegraph Ave in Bezerkely I was accosted by a pair of lady's of the night, er... afternoon. Sorry says I, showing them the box, I already have a hooker. Lucky for me they thought that was funny... I imagine that 2020 version of a Rocket 3 is much better behaved when it comes to electrics (Lucas, the prince of darkness) and probably doesn't have puddle of oil under it. Maybe the clutch actually works (the '73 Tridents had a single dry plate automotive clutch with a ball bearing throw out bearing which didn't work well when hot - such as if I was sitting at a red light with the clutch pulled. After maybe 20 seconds the bike would start nudging forward. Had to stop it, then re-kick start it when the lite turned green). Oh the things we give up with a modern bike. It was said to run 12.8 quarter miles by the cycle mags. Thanks for the view of modernity.

I want one of these. I really want one of these.

BMW K75 was a triple..(loved my S)

Hey, I had a Silver Jubilee and wish I still did. I kind of get the impression you sorta like the Rocket 3.

Gonna be 70 years old in a month, and still out riding motorcycles and having fun. Props Jay. :D

Why do I have feeling Jay is getting a black R with heated grips? LOL

That guy was a great spokesman, had the knowledge but not like reading off a spec sheet and not sounding like a corporate man, sounds like a guy that just likes riding and has knowledge

Im very old & terminally ill . ive been sick and poverty stricken my entire life so this is close as ive ever come to any of these vehicles . Thus my appreciation for this channel is immense ! Thanks Jay ☺

Jay is a great host, never shows if he’s doubtful of a new project car, or dislikes a guest. But he can not hide it when he really likes something that shows up at his shop.

You can tell immediately when Jay is itching to get his credit card out! Sold in 30 seconds or less.

I came here to watch an episode of Jay Leno’s garage but ended up watching Jay buying his next motorcycle 😄

I never get tired of watching Jay's chin protruding from his full face helmet.

Beautiful bike, 10/10 from me

Jay’s putting in an order.

You know he bought one. He really liked this bike.

I remember when the 1966 Norton Atlas advertised 55 horsepower, which we thought was insane.

I test rode the R at the Hua Hin test drive. Wow! Butter smooooth. What Torque monster. At 6' tall I prefer the confort of the GT model much better. The price is a bit high, but I'm definitely considering buying. We only live once. Might as well live the dream.

The Triumph representative, Lance, seems to be a really good people person and he did a good job explaining the bike. He's a little on the short side but that's nit picking.

I'd spend forever in Jay's garage and work for free just for the experience

I'm amused by the fact that this motorcycle has more displacement than my wife's Kia Sorento which I drove to work today, a 4000 lb vehicle.

6 minutes into this video and Jay arrives at His garage. I liked this intro and I think Jay would do well to change the format of His show from time to time. I am glad to see Jay continuing on even at His age. As for the motorcycle I liked the older Triumph triple cylinder engines. I know this will not disappoint and I may go check em out.

The Triumph spokesman guy is knowledgeable without being a typical sales guy.I really like the whole new incarnation of Triumph Line .

Love how Leno’s hair isn’t affected by the helmet- I want to know about that helmet

Just listen to Jay. He talks to all of us like he'd talk to his close buddies. Love him on Last Man Standing.

Thanks so much for making these videos, Jay. Sincerely. I’ve binged watched most of them during the current situation, and it’s so much fun to live vicariously through another gearhead. Stay healthy!

“Fun bike to ride”. I don’t think I have ever rode a motorcycle and said, wow that wasn’t fun!

I've been seriously considering a Rocket lll. I'm so happy to see Jay do this bike at this time. I'm sold.

Jay is a national treasure

The bike looks gorgeous. I'm happy Jay always gives his honest opinion. You can tell he was ready to cut a check to get one.

Man I love Jay sense of humor especially during these tough times

I’ll be 76 in a little over a month and I’m still riding. I don’t see an end to it yet!

Lance killing it!

Nice looking bike, but could that red car trail him any closer? Geez, if he had any issue and crashed that clown would drive right over him

That's not just a bike! It's a jewel! Above anything else on the market right now!

Where are the Rocket 3's going to be made? I read that Triumph is closing their factories in England.

Jay: Thank you for showcasing the Triumph Rocket 3! Please ride the GT version too. I was all set to purchase the R version, but a test ride on both had me falling in love with the GT. The foot pegs on the GT have four levels of adjustability, so you can have the pegs feet-forward, or in the same position as the R version. Plus the seat on the GT is more comfortable versus the R version.

Hello everyone from Australia the Rocket 3 is a fantastic bike!! Also this is my latest video of my Rocket 3 that I'm sharing trying to give hope and put a smile on Rider's & people's faces in lock down. With the words in the song at the beginning and at the end of the video hope you enjoy it. Share it with if you think it will help someone 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 Slaying Mountains - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DDc_pRGTN9k.html

2.5 liters! Geeeeez! I had a '77 Yamaha 750 3 cylinder. I loved that bike. I really loved the sound it made. My wife and I toured many miles on that bike. After 30 years it was worn. I found a '78 Goldwing with low miles. It does the job. I think of it as heavy and docile. That Triumph at 643 pounds is a relative lightweight, unlike my Goldwing. Nice job, Triumph. Enjoy, Jay!

This kid Lance is awesome. Throws out the Trident manufacturing run off the top of his head, and drops an Uncle Miltie joke! Cool bike, great production as usual. Thank you Mr. Leno and we wish you a speedy recovery.

This varient of Rocket3 looks like American Tomahawk mated with Italian diavel... And made a baby

When are we going to see that traction avant? It one of the most interesting cars of the vintage era

I bet Jay purchased one!

Let the guests talk more! Dude got cut off over and over.

get the speed triple on here jay

Oh man, I haven't rode in 25 years but this bike is calling out to me.

Well Jay.......you have the streets to yourself......

By my math - which is always bad - that's like, 833cc per cylinder? Jesus.

Jay is the first person I’ve seen ride this bike without laughing hysterically when they roll on the throttle.

This guy was a cool dude, not corporate at all. Well done Triumph 👍👍👍

Jay will definitely cut you off if you're not being interesting enough!

I really like these Triumph motorcycles, new and old,..the edge to the newer Triumph's.

You're right. I'm 50yrs old soon enough, never rode until a few years back, got a 2021 R1 and still had those chicken strips that always bothered me, so I sold it on, got a Rocket 3 R instead, and surely enough, that's a motorcycle I'll never sell! Just like my 2001 Speed Triple, something about Triumph bikes that just makes my bits tingle in the right places! Also, black motorcycles is the only real motorcycles!

Some of the most beautiful looking bikes ever on this show.

Great looking bike Mr. Leno ,,, I’m 68 and I love riding my 2014 Honda valkyrie

Apparently, no helmet can contain Jay's chin.

I'm almost seventy years young and in recovery from a serious accident. Watching you riding that bike does my heart good and the GT version will be my next purchase when I'm passed A1 fit to ride.Many thanks for the video.

Jay and now me are both smitten by that beauty. 👍🏻

:'D OMG i love Jay Leno "I love riding a bike that can brake!" more hardcore than all of us

poor guy in the toyota just trying yo get to work.

160HP😲 I thought my 2007 Model was powerful enough. The torgue is enough to bring about a organism. I went Fatty rear (car tire) for one go-round. Still peeled the rubber down by 15k. It was a extreme joy to ride. Passed it on to my son.

It's just me and my taste. I would much prefer a single headlight on this Beautiful Beast!

Not a person who would ever buy a motorcycle but if I would, this would be it!

Thing looks like a huge V8 bike it’s wide!

No doubt in my mind that Jay is going to buy one, (if he already hasn’t). 😂🤣😹😂🤣

Jay is the master at cutting people off when they’re talking! I felt bad for dude, he didn’t even get to finish a sentence! Lol

Every time I watch a Leno's Garage episode, I'm reminded of my dad, who got me into motorcycles and absolutely loved watching Jay's channel as well as the tonight show. He was a car guy too and passed away with 13 project cars, after just completing his dream garage. His garage had a bathroom, air conditioning, about as much shelving for parts as an Autozone warehouse, and four brand new hydraulic lifts. Sad to see he really didn't get to work on the cars in his new dream garage, but he told me before that for him the fun was in the project itself, not the completion of it, so because of that I've got to think he really enjoyed himself building that garage that took years. Sometimes the anticipation is better than the final result. I kept his American Graffiti '32 Ford Coupe to finish myself because it was the star of his garage and his favorite I think. I will take it to cruises in tribute to my dad.

I think these engines would be perfect for a trike or a superlight sportcar. I'm a bike guy and I do appreciate what Triumph has accomplished here.

Ahhh...to be able to see and ride anything and go, "Yeah..I'm gonna get one tomorrow." :) :) Very cool bikes.

Checks all the box’s for an experienced (older like Jay) rider: torque puts a smile on his face, comfortable riding position not painful, safe handling and stopping gets you there And back, vintage heritage but modern engineering, Most importantly, especially these days, the joy of riding - Fun!

Damn could Jay interrupt this guy anymore than he did?

@3:50 "Very stable motorcycle." You know that comment is going to be analyzed unto death and beyond.

That was a great review. The bike rep knew his bikes and was a good rep to send to show these bikes. He knew what he was talking about. Also, Jay also had some great imput. I especially like what he said about the Furgeson tractor engine. It was true too. I had a 1953 Furgeson tractor and it did favor the old three cyl bike.

An engine with just enough chassis to keep it from dragging on the road.

Nice touch, those oil spots on the floor to make the Triumph feel at home. :)

I'm not really a motorcycle guy, but those are gorgeous!

His sound guy really knows his stuff! Even though he's riding at speed, even though you can hear the wind, his voice is totally clear...best video with instant commentary I can remember.

Mr LE Jones is an excellent ambassador for Triumph and does a super good job highlighting the bike. He’s a keeper. Triumph, please take god care of him. Loving my T120. Now thinking about adding a Rocket.

Friend in high school had a B.S.A. rocket three in the 70,s. I lusted over it.. Was huge for the day.

“When I take my “Vincents” out. Most of us dream of being rich enough to own one.

I'm not really a bike person but that is stunning.

That is a gorgeous bike. Great cross between a sport bike and a cruiser. I would definitely buy that.

I hope you got one in black with the heated grips Jay Your love for vehicles and engineering are contagious as you just give off and show real joy Keep up the the great vids #StaySafe 🦠😷

Jay's chin helps improve his motorcycles aerodynamics! 🤣

Never got the forward control thing besides the look. My legs are part of the suspension.

Im not a Triumph fan but I do have to admit thats a dam good looking bike.

Lance has the patience to allow Jay telling his own opinion and usual stick history....

These things look as though they suffer from the same ergos that made me hate my Buell, spraddle- legs. My Street Triple is very comfortably narrow in the waist.

The best part is actually seeing the bike on the road. I'm so tired of all the helmet cam views. Most riders want to see how it looks in action, and it looks amazing! I don't even care how big the engine is. That's just a beautiful piece of sculpture. They could take the displacement down to 1,000 CC and I would still want one. Of course if I had the money I would ride that 2.5 into the sunset.

Jay Leno is my idol, I love classic cars and don't have the money to afford one, this man has 100s and has worked for every single one of them, as hard as it is and as long as it may take I hope to follow in his footsteps one day , although I'll never meet him, he'll always be my hero

Jay should review a 1983-85 Honda Sabre V4 1100 (V65 for 65 cubes) I had one and I regret selling it. The "Harley Eater"

Sometimes Jay talks over his guest. A few times I was hoping to hear what the guy was saying and Jay cuts him off.

Turning 69 this year, just bought a kawasaki 125pro, not big enough to get me into trouble but puts a huge smile on my face every time I throw a leg over it .

Jay clearly loves the bike, he can't stop playing with it.

They should make a bike that shuts off cell phones when you approach.

You don't notice the weight of these big brutes, until you put your foot into a puddle of car airco vomit at the traffic light.
