Triumph Rocket 3 R Black Edition Review. 221 Nm Torque! 167 PS! Is this The Worlds Best Motorcycle? 

By far the most comprehensive and realistic review of this bike, thank you so much. Very very tempted by this, it's easier to justify this for me than some of the offerings from other manufacturers.

This might be the most motorcycle you can put into one motorcycle without spilling motorcycle everywhere.

A real English gentleman on a real British motorcycle at a real British stately home. Loved it sir. I wish the UK was more like that otherwise I wouldn’t have emigrated to NZ. 😀

Best intro ever! :-) Bike is a world class.

Its always hard seeing your loved pets / animals pass away. Nice to see someone who's comfortable showing compassion. ❤

I love it. I'am even thinking of trading in my Harley Fatbob and getting one. I think the "muscle bike" description is a perfect way to describe it.

I won’t be getting one of these for a long time as I haven’t even gotten my first bike yet, but I can still dream. The best thing about the looks is how you can basically see Batman riding around Gotham on one of these due to its retro-futuristic styling.

11 years ago, I rode an old Rocket III for an afternoon, the old Roadster model. I couldn't believe how light it felt pulling it off the side stand, doubtless due to the low centre of gravity. On the go, the weight is an advantage with the consequent stability. I can see the point of this new model. Just a shame, as you say, it doesn't have a reverse gear. I'd love to go to that stately home for tea and scones. Excellent review.

I own the Rocket 3 GT I've had it for just over 12 months done nearly 9000 KMS, I've owned 5 Harleys including a 2006 VRod plus a Yamaha Roadstar 1600 out of all these bikes the Triumph Rocket 3 GT is superior to all of the other bikes I have ever owned over the years this is the best bike I have ever owned!

The only cruiser I would look at!

Saw one of these when popping into the local Eurosport dealer for a recall on my bike. I spent most of my time there just staring at the rocket 3, and now this pops up in my subscriber feed…. The temptation is real.

Finally a massive bike that suits you. The Trident and others are great for us midgets but that bike really suits you!!

The Rocket is an amazing motorcycle ! I am a 90lb weeakling and love it ! The first time I opened the throttle with vigour I thought my arms would tear out of the shoulder sockets ! Magic !!

Looks like you're falling in love fella. I have ridden over 6,000 miles on my TFC variant, more power and torque and some Arrow pipes. It is captivating! I live in a very rural part of Yorkshire, similar topography, only less rain, than you get in Wales. It handles beautifully. Already booked 3 tours next year. It is a motorcycling masterpiece. Great review, done the honours with the like & subscribe. Best of luck.

They performed some kind of miracle getting the weight down on this new version. Looks much better too. When too much motorcycle is still not enough.....

The fact that you ride the most badass bike in the universe to stop off for a country cream tea puts you squarely in my top 5 favorite people. Truly the best of both worlds. And I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet little lamb. Thank you for giving her the best life possible. Because of you, she did not leave this world unloved. 🧡

I need this bike badly. 163 lb ft of torque is blissful insanity. Love it.

American biker: JD, joints and brawling British biker: tea and scones I thought you were riding away with that lamb strapped on the back in search of a place to bury him for a minute. Great review of an amazing bike. Thank you. Subbed.

I am mesmerized by the backdrop. What an absolute delight to ride bikes in those roads surrounded by nature!

Great Video! Very beautiful looking bike. I think Batman would ride this bike. Sorry to hear about the little lamb :(

This motorcycle is like a bodybuilder in a gentleman’s suit…beautiful world class bike, mechanical art on 2 wheels 👌🇬🇧🖤🏍💨🔥🔥🔥

What a fantastic bike! I want one.

Great review on an excellent machine. We recently traded our 2020 Triumph Rocket III GT and I have to say it was immediate regret. We put over 16,000 miles on that bike didn't have a single problem with it. My son mainly rode the Rocket and he is a very conservative driver averaging over 40 mpg for the time we owned the bike. Any where we stopped, the Rocket would draw attention. I may have to make room for another Rocket III in the near future.

Nice one and I liked the cream tea at a swanky hotel idea, I thought that a very clever and original theme, great review as usual, cheers

People say that Ducati Diavel and Yamaha V-MAX are faster. But I like Triumph much more. It is a more beautiful and holistic machine.

I have the 2020 silver GT version of the rocket 3 was looking to buy a Harley long dream of mine but i stubble on this bike and saw the look of that beast and i never look back,such a joy to ride this motorcycle if i stop somewhere with it people come to me to ask what kind of bike is it,because its not your typical motorcycle you see everywhere. Torque power everywhere its a big machine and its command respect after 40 years of riding all sorts of motorcycles i can say this is for me the Best bike a ever own.Ride safe man.

My second comment on this video... because I keep coming back to it. Reason being, I'm looking to get a Rocket, and when I plugged into the search, this was one of the first videos that popped up. This being the first video I've watched from these gentlemen (I've since watched many!), the pause in the middle of the review, caught me absolutely off-guard. I thought to myself as he walked through the door where the lamb was laying, I thought, there's no way he's going to joke about something like that, and I was grateful that he was not making some kind of joke. I write all this, because I've watched this video a few times, not as much for the motorcycle, but for the interaction between a large, humble man and a tiny little lamb... I hope everyone has noticed, that this very large, handsome "Ol' man" has a heart even larger than his exterior. If you listen closely, you can hear as he begins to kneel down to the head of the Lamb, his breathing changes. It's as if he's trying to hold back from crying. Got me choked up. But I have learned in watching these men's channel, is the brief pauses where we get to see the inside of a church, or unfortunately, watch the Ol' Man on his back in pain. Anyhow, definitely my top "motorcycle review" channel. To be a large man, with an even larger heart, there is no bigger man on earth than that.

Very precise review enjoy your presentations. I'm a tall man also currently ride Harley road king that I enjoy and Triumph thruxton that makes me smile. I test rode the rocket GT in early October its is the most impressive power cruiser I have ridden. Yes its a beefy machine but my take away on that point is that is its 200 pounds lighter than the road king. I can see myself in the seat of this splendid machine with the optional bags and taller wind screen. My kids are just going have to get over the fact D Old Dad spent their Inheritance. 😊

I’m sorry about the lamb, that’s heartbreaking. Good review of a special bike there, Sir.

Sorry, forgot to add, hello from California, close to Yosemite. I'm fortunate that the roads right out of my driveway, in any direction or a biker's dream, this bike should be perfect. Thank you again so much, for such a wonderful production!

Brilliant, and thank you for showing us the lovely Palé Hall. For a solid set of reasons this is one of my favourite channels on RU-vid. Cheers.

Oh my stars. I mean I know it's "just" a Rocket 3 R with a lick of black paint but what a weapon. Jesus H. Christ that's a lot of bike, a lot of presence and an ungodly amount of power. Also that helmet hair totally makes you look like Heihachi Mishima from Tekken.

Absolutely love this bike,fantastic looking and it shifts and handles,gotta be said this bike really suits you,and what a location you visited beautiful. Sorry for your loss,best wishes.

Possibly one of the few bikes That doesn't look small with The Ol' Man sat on it.

I bought a Triumph Rocket 3 GT triple black (limited edition) several months ago and could not be happier with it. I agree with your comments and could go on and on about it. An amazing motorcycle and a joy to ride. It attracts attention from riders of every stripe. Even people who have never ridden a motorcycle stop and look at it and ask questions.

Thank you for your video from a motocycle, tea and animal lover.

Bit late getting to watch your video. That bike looks like it has your name on it and wouldn't blame you mate. I test rode one...awesome torque!! Great review 👏

Absolutely beautiful machine. I hope to sneak one into my garage next year as long as the wife doesn’t notice alongside the Africa Twin! I test rode the R and fell in love. Great review again.

Best finished bike on the market with the hidden cables and wires. Lovely review!

Im so happy I discovered you lads, easily my fav channel for bike content these days. There's a certain charm to your videos that I see to really enjoy! The editing is nice and the layout is awesome.

I've had my Rocket for about 4 days now, because of these gentlemen's most incredible content! You dealerships need to pay attention to these boys!

Love the video. The bike, the scenery, the location and editing spot on!

Absolute mean machine. Once again a honest straight up review. Always excellent reviews.

That was entertaining. The effort you put in is appreciated.

What a beautiful video. Old and cute town in UK, beautiful hotel, cozy place, delicious desserts, tea, fireplace, amazing and powerful bike. This is a total Hygge life you are living over there.

Absolutely amazing! Best review of this bike I’ve ever seen! Period.

You are one of the coolest dudes I've ever seen Planning to get my hands on a Rocket 3 this year

Great review as always! Thanks for sharing.

Impressive motorcycle. Lots of torque and speed. Sounds good on acceleration. Some put it in the muscle cruiser category with eg. the Ducati Diavel. Looks like you enjoyed your cake and tea. Sorry about your lamb.

Thanks, your review helped me chose the Rocket 3. I just bought the TFC version, can't wait to ride it. BTW, it is good to see one truly taking care of their animals.

Now that is a proper bike 💪🏻😎

great video. just found your channel, and i was fortunate enough to find and pick up this very black edition here in NYC recently. can't wait for spring to really ride out some... looking forward to watching more of your videos!

I’ve had this model since newly released, absolutely amazing machine and great technology !! Every time I’m riding I’m grinning like a Cheshire Cat 🐱👍

My first large bike was a 69 Triumph Tiger 650 twin with a single carb, the baby brother of the Bonny! Holed a piston by not giving it time to break-in and my mechanic friend put 10.5 compression pistons in it for me. It was a great bike, handled well with Avon TT 100 tires at both ends, as wide as the bike could fit and flatbars. One of my favourite bikes but that Rocket 3 would certainly be interesting, great review!

This bike is like the Ol' Man. A gentleman but able to single handedly fight off a battalion of bad guys. 😆 edit: sorry about your lamb. :(

Excellent video as always. I love that big bike and would have one in a minute. If I bought one, I think the only thing I'd change is to get some higher handlebars. And maybe a beefier exhaust. You and Darcy are a credit to the motorcycle community and I for one truly appreciate it. Thank you. Eric in Kissimmee Florida peace

Of all the bikes you spoke about recently about being your next purchase, this suits you the most!! (I would say that though; I’m a bit biased!!!!)

A great review and has got me off the couch and off for a blast on my 3R. Summer nearly here in NZ so looking forward to more riding.

Just watched this again. Great review of a great bike. Lovely place to have a cup of tea and piece of cake. Nick

Good video! Nice to see you doing your own style and not copying the others.

Great review, not just how fast it is ,but a real riders view of how it is to ride, excellent review

Stunning machine and surroundings. Great review as always.

Thank you again for a fantastic video on this great motorcycle 🏍

A buddy of mine from Central Texas Harley Davidson just traded his one of these in for a Sport Glide. He used to bring his Rocket to bike nights every Wednesday and it was so badass. Tried to take him off the lights on my Low Rider S, no chance lol.

New life goal set. I honestly really liked the part about Pale Hall. It’s part of why you get a bike. Travelling to these great places

I think im on my way to the dealership

Terrific. Just found your channel. I’m starting CBT in 2 days after deciding for my 50th I will learn. The rocket has been in my radar for a while, but I always thought it looked over designed. Bobbers and fat boys are my thing. I’m going to go through all your videos and soak them up like a sponge. Cheers.

Really a very good, honest and quality test!

I want to go to that hotel it looks absolutely amazing 🤩 bike looks amazing there 👍

I’m loving these reviews and the hotel recommendation, nice one!

Wonderful review as always! I had sat on a Rocket III at my local Triumph Dealership and actually liked how the bike fit me. It had a very comfortable seat and a relaxed riding position. Like the fact there are so many electronic aids to make riding safer for many riding situations. If I do buy one in the future, I will probably start riding it in rain mode to slowly get used to the power and slow speed handling.

Awesome review I have the bike and I would have to agree with your experience , new subscriber here you definitely deserve a lot more subscribers for Such quality content

Great review. I'm a Brit now living in the US and glad these are available in my region (Wisconsin). Just subscribed, cheers!

Enjoyed your honest review & the cream tea was very classy,sorry about your lamb,i enjoyed your speed triple review aswell very much,safe riding👊🙂

It looks good blacked out, much better than chromed plastic. As you mention, it is a crime big bikes like this have no reverse assist. Hydraulic centre stands would be nice as well.

Great review, impressive machine, suits a big fella such as You👍 I did laugh seeing You getting tied up when mentioning reaching 100 mph, great recovery 😁

I wish I could get the blacked-out edition here in Thailand. However; still happy with the standard ones. Picking it up next month. Great video, I enjoy the British class along with the motorcycle culture. It fits surprisingly well.

First of all, sorry to hear about your little one. They are so sweet. Thank you for your review of the bike and thank you for mentioning about the open rear fender. One of the few things I do not like about it. I would have to replace that with a solid one after market. Also it would be nice to have some kind of luggage rack if that is possible to haul groceries or gear. A few other color choices would be good as well and a larger fairing. But a spectacular bike overall and I sure wish I could afford one. What a ride! All the best to you.

Wonderful thorough review!

For me this bike is like my range rover, that could be very comfortable and could make 0-100 better than 90% of cars. And anyway range always has respect by the others drivers on the road. Great moto, i love what Britain makes. And I'm going to buy this bike.

Another great review! You should conduct a review here in New England on one of our new Harley's along some great open roads. That would certainly be another great addition to your archives!

🙏

Great opening sequence. What a beautiful bike, I'd love one in my garage but will have to settle for a cream tea.

Iv'e had Harleys (along with other makes) for the last 20 years and i love them,i had sold my 2009 Fatboy and i was going to buy one of the newer Fatboys, but then i saw a Rocket Gt on special offer at my local dealer, when i saw it i just had to buy it! it has been a fantastic bike i've done 2 week long tours of scotland on it and a weeks touring in Ireland and it handled all the various road conditions brilliantly and has to be the most comfortable bike i've had. i am getting about 35mpg but if you ride it more sympathetically you would easily get 40 plus mpg. as for tyre wear i changed mine at about 3500 miles as i was going on tour and they were getting close to the wear bars. i would call the GT a muscle cruiser as the riding position is more cruiser with the foot forward pegs and slightly pulled back bars,the only thing i was initally disapointed with was the sound but as i've put more miles on the exhaust note has got a much nicer tone to it. i am spoiled in scotland for great roads and the rocket just loves them!

When I tire of my Ktm 1295 SDR, thats my next bike, can't wait, great review brother

Fantastic review buddy, love all of your reviews sir

Outstanding review and so this will be my next bike as it’s beautiful.

Great review and by all accounts a superb machine. When I sat on one (before I ordered a SpeedMaster) it felt really really heavy and I'd simply have to do something to re-configure that rear hugger number plate thing, it's awful..... It would be interesting to see how long the rear tyre would last with all that power going through it. It does look super-good in black tho....

Like the black accents. What a beast.Thank you for the video.Would be nice to have one of those in the stable.

Loved the intro !!!

Absolutely stunning, liked it since 2007 since I saw one running in Pune with 2 pipes on one side nd one on other side

Great review as always and great bike...and so sorry about the lamb... so sad.

Top video as always. Any chance you'll be reviewing the new HD Sportster S soon? Thanks for your contribution chaps, you make RU-vid a better place 🙏🙏

I have Rocket 3GT from september 2020. Bike is really impressive.You can not compre any bike with this beast.Best regards from Croatia.👍🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

What a fabulous video. I was waiting for Roger Ackroyd to be murdered at the begining and Poirot to be waiting at the table for you. I've been subscribed to you just overt a year now and the reviews just get better & better. Great how you're incorporating some of the farm life into the vid's. That Rocket3 is simply beautiful. I own a 2017 T120 and a Tiger 1050 Sport (yes I am a Triumph fan boy) but would love a R3 and you've provided a very comprenhensive review.

Great BIKE!!! Great video! ...and those Jack Russell Terriers are hilarious!!!

Great review, awesome looking bike !

If this stands next to Fat Bob, what would be your thoughts? Are those alike in riding style and feel or very different?

Thanks for the lovely bike review sir.✌👍

I don't know... I watched this review back to back with your earlier one. I think it is brilliantly retro, but as you said, with a totally muscular flare. It is the ultimate motorcycle, with way more power and torque than anyone needs, but with the handling that anyone can enjoy. Triumph really gets their bikes right, especially the details. And it looks like Triumph built this bike with you sitting on it the whole time :) (A 1" riser would sit you perfectly for cruising or touring ...)
