They are a beautiful bike I’ve just had 1st service on mine it is by far my favourite bike I’ve had I’ve had all types of bikes styles everything but this triumph is my favourite and I’d only swap it in for another new one when it’s about 4 years old love it I don’t ride in the wet weather but here in uk that’s not often you get lovely weather so you have to make the most of it and have full days of riding great to hear you liked it ride safe take care mate
I got rid of my Harley after test riding the Rocket. There is nothing the Rocket does not do better than a Harley except maybe fuel use. When riding the torque is like crack cocaine. You just don't get that on a Harley.
I agree other than the actual feeling of riding a Harley it’s very different. I prefer (at the moment anyway) the feel of the Harley, just the “feels like an old classic car” feeling. But yeah technically the Triumph pretty does everything better than the Harley easy
I have tested the storm yesterday and I have the exact same impression. I have a breakout 117 and compared to the rocket, my harley looks like riding a tank, heavier (!), rough, slower and let's not talk about the torque... I just wanted to test it by curiosity but I should not have done it bc I have a comparison now and my breakout I used to like is now less attractive to me. Damn !
@@victorviveros3745After it depends what you are looking for. My first impression on the Rocket was the lack of personnality : no vibration, damn easy, pretty silent. We all know that we choose harley because it's rough, noisy, vibrating, with a strong personnality. In other words, it lives, and it's for the men ! And I do not talk about the image. But it's so tiring to ride 😅 . The best thing you can do at the end it to test one and make your own impression.
You are 100% right, HD got soul; there are no rockets for a test ride urfontunately here. Is tje tiring thing because is the R version ( posture ) i am looking for the gt. Thank you very much
Hi there. Just a quick question.....got the same bike and camera but yours seems to be much wider than mine. Also a lot smoother. I use super wide with the stabilisation turned off to get the widest angle possible. Could you tell me what to do to get something similar to your angle of view? Thanks
1st test of the storm I can see on youtube ! Pretty interested as I have myself a 2023 breakout with 117ci like your st I suppose and I was just looking for a comparison with a rocket. Your reactions tell it all ! But endlessly looking for more power and more torque is a question to me as the breakout offers enough of everything.
The rocket feels so much more powerful. It feels like a very different ride also. Doesn’t have that classic cruiser feeling that a Harley does but it’s just a super comfortable smooth and fast bike.
