Does The New 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 Live Up To The Hype? First Impressions 

One day you will save enough to buy this bike and wake up on delivery day...

Perfect!

Thanks mate. Much appreciated! 👍👍👍

Cheers Steve - appreciate the kind words!

Well said Tim. It's addictive. I couldn't care less for scratching...but open her up on a nice straight stretch of road and grin away....my kinda bike....

Instant smile just twist the wick

That is the reason I bought mine. I couldn't stop laughing.

That's why I bought a SDR, I was laughing. I am sure this would make me laugh too!

@@KBBF3 are you still laughing? And more importantly, are you still alive??

Thanks Phil! Good times 👍

Cheers Wesley 🙌

Cheers Mark much appreciated

Cheers AE! Hope you enjoy the bike - it is indeed an experience. I’m heading out with Triumph to portugal in a few weeks to ride one on some proper roads - can’t wait

Thanks MB! Appreciate it

Cheers Jim! Recommend at least taking one for a spin :)

Jonathan - BREATHE

My pleasure!

Haha thanks. Normally I get comments telling me off for that. Who can’t ride with one hand?! What if you need to wipe your visor...?

sorry man, i luv indian too, but this bike shits on the indian & HD go get one!!

@@kulaak-krii nup sorry.. have you ridden this new bike? how would you know?

TheTripleDubya aka Dubya 07 Take the Indian. Great tourers.

yeah I love my 2017 Rocket Roadster! Cant see myself making the leap either. My favorite thing about the new one is the single swing arm and the overall look! But as far as the ride I don't think it will be much different at least not 15,000 different lol.

Cheers VF appreciate the feedback!

Enjoy!

Not sure I could convince my wife that I want to buy a rocket because I want to get in shape...

Surely it’s main rival is the Ducati Diavel not the Fatbob?

Cheers MM

It's a Triumph so it only looks that way but it's not really.

Thanks Adrian - much appreciated

Thanks Geoff appreciate it

@@motobob 👍👍😎

@@motobob you've come a long way from your ER bike days.

@MOTOBOB your reviews are way more professional than the average. Well done fella.

so you are stating that it is extremely slow, as in that movie with Mr. Bean waiting for a ride and sees someone in the distance, but by time that guy gets there, his bike is moving at the pace of a slower walk. that would be the only time little babies became old men.

@@djohnson3678 You have to know Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to understand why little babies become old men after a short ride.

@@djohnson3678 what he meant by little babies became old man is that he rode it for short time but it was like he has ridding for ages.........it was soo familiar

Cheers Elie appreciate that

Judging by the review they already have rewarded him.

@@webdesign6776 Well deserved for a gentleman who has so much passion for the brand.

I think that’s legal only in California. Weird considering how regulation-happy that state is.

Enjoy David! Hope you manage to get out of the traffic

Me and my bike mate have it booked back to back with a Scrambler 1200 XE so we should have 2 hours? hopefully get out west to Dorking etc for some back lane fun

@@davidg1230 That sounds like a good plan - two great bikes to do it on as well!

Who wouldn't, weren't all we boys dreaming of a bike with a huge engine:) Your dream came true!

Is the man cave big enough if you get one of these monsters on loan? 😉

I’m sure Triumph Central London would help although it’s a trek for you...

Thanks OA!

Mark Weymouth nice! Do you live somewhere where there’s no snow?

Jack Adams very rarely....

180 what? Big difference between NM and LB/ft

Why wouldn't you buy one?

@@GreenmanWood cost.

@@GreenmanWood cost.

@@LadybugAdventures Sigh. Me too.

Thanks RH! They offered for me to take it out again so I’ll try to get back on it soon

Weird, considering it's made in Thailand.

Sounds like a plan - I'm sure a few will go back to the dealers after their PCP period is up because people won't want to settle the lump sum.

Where do you live? 🤔🤔🤔

yeah but I really did prefer the 2 very big TOR tubes on my 2012 model !!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HiPSq_VClbs.html

Nah, exhaust is still too damn quiet.

It sounds like a kitty compared to Harley.

I believe MV Agusta have something similar on the dragster but not quite as neat. Triumph did a proper good job on those

@@motobob Perhaps a pillion review next if you can find anyone brave enough? 👍

@@TheGreatestBeyonder haha brave indeed!

Made In Thailand.

Clap your hands at the beginning of recording and you can line up the audio tracks in your editing software before you start chopping it all up :)

Yeh! the MCN review was poor!

You can't have ridden many fast bikes then. Acceleration is quick for a cruiser - good grunt but that's more to do with the very short intermediate gearing. A sportsbike or hiperbike would slaughter it in a straight line.

PS: I'm 5'7 and had no footing problems

Haha that’s true

The problem I have is that the GT is just isn't touring-ish enough. I don't want to give up my big windshield, lowers and big lockable panniers. Triumph should get on with making a real tourer around this engine. Make something that is as agile as the BMW tourers and still beats the Gold Wing at its own game, built around a huge engine with all the torque.

@@lorcro2000 Wait a while. The original Rocket came on the market relatively basic. Then the Touring came a few years later. This bike is long enough for everything you mention above. There will definately be aftermarket stuff flooding the market soon. The bike could wear a screen and still look cool. There are already 20 liter side bins for it, albeit made of pliable material and not rigid. My dealer has the TFC Rocket on show, number 380. Bought by a guy in Frankfurt. Wonderfully done and a real eye-catcher. They are offering finance on the bike for 3,5% for up to 96 months. Even without the interest, for the GT, it's still over 200 bucks per month. Not everyone who will bye this bike will like it. It's big and heavy, and if you're not experienced, fu*#ing scary. My Rocket Touring has over 380 kilos, wet weight. From 2008 and no safety systems like ABS etc. Will be test riding the GT when it comes to the dealer. We'll see 🤘Ride safe

Cheers Paul

Enjoy! Will be awesome

I see you everywhere.

@@osamabinladen824 thats cause I am everywhere, just like that fake god of islam, ALL-LOL

@@CrusaderGeneral Nice. By the way, I'm curious. Will the TFC sound better than R and GT? TFC's got Arrow, right?

@@osamabinladen824 i really don't know. But I hope so

There's nothing lax about the speed camera's everywhere.

I guess you mean filltering that you call lane splitting if your American Well it is legal in the U K as it should be everywhere

Elephants Memory so you can drive between vehicles? That’s awesome!

@@dahak972 Its just normal to us pal
