As a traditional Harley guy, when I first seen these I was like “yuck 🤢”, but if I’m being honest, now I’m kinda like “hey baby you wanna turn a bunch of fuel into noise and speed? 😍”

The big engine is so smart. Because it should last forever. Having no load on it and turning low RPM's. And the shaft drive means not much maintenance.

Not sick looking to me, but very healthy motorcycle 😉👍
I use mine as my daily commuter - it entices me to give it beans at every set of lights. I found the mid controls were more engaging for me - more aggressive and works for me. The big engine performs effortlessly all day long. The GT screen takes care of the wind and a good helmet helps. Does not really matter what gear you are in at any given time - just twist the throttle. Guys, puts a smile on my face every day... Audio - I swapped out for the Patriot exhaust and now the sound matches the look. When cruising it sounds like a spitfire in full dive under load and a tiger snarl at a set of lights.

I'm pretty sure I'm picking up a 2021 black r next week. discounted because the 22's are out. I'm thinking Corbin faring, the mid controls felt great for sure. I ride a street glide, man that bike is comfortable... I felt the rocket was set up just right, felt nimble, quick and comfortable.

Having this paired with the M109R feels redundant. They’re very similar bikes, with the Rocket 3 arguably just being an upgrade in most regards.
I love the Rocket 3, I have a GT myself. The forward foot controls to me were more comfortable than the R's mid controls. The handling is amazing though, feels great shredding back roads as quick as all my sport bike friends

It's essentially a fat naked bike anyway, the rocket
You need to ride the Rocket with the unrestricted tune for a true taste of what this engine can do. From the factory, the ecu will only allow approximately 60% throttle body opening when you apply 100% manual throttle! The unrestricted tune allows 100% body opening when full throttle is applied. It increases power from 165 to around 200 HP and torque increases from 163 to 177. Scary quick, and doable with an android device, OBD link, and $15 to the guys at Tuneecu.

This bike does it enough for me that I’ve bought one. What a terrific bike!!! It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for. And in this case, that’s a hell of a lot of motorcycle.
My Brother Tom just bought one of these in Mississippi from a friend. He should be bringing it home to his house in Iowa this summer. Can’t Wait to see it.
Seeing you drive is pretty cool, as it´s not as crazy like some other drivers in KZread are, but you still look cautious and do it "reasonably"
I was searching the rocket on google since I absolutely love the way this Triumph looks and found this vid. Thanks, u just convinced me! This will be the next wheels in my garage!!
I was fortunate enough to get a press loan of the same bike, the r black, for 2 weeks. Went into it wondering about it and came out in love. It’s such a ridiculous motorcycle that nobody asked for and I’m glad they made.
Hi from NZ. I got rocket gt. I just can't get enough of it. Mid pegs , quick shifter all the fruit. Best fun ever. Great video thanks.
I saw one of these the other day when I was out riding and man did it look amazing. Sounds really cool too.
I love this class of motorcycle! I own an M109R and Diavel. I hope to add the Rocket 3 to the garage someday!
This was awesome, made it to the outro crew. I'm also a sport bike guy considering the Rocket. This is the best video I've seen on this, thank you and subbed!
The footage on this review is the best! Great job! Former Triumph Street Triple and Speed Triple owner. The Rocket is next!
Those side shots are crazy 🔥🔥
the triumph rocket 3 R looks like it took some inspiration from the legendary concept bike called the tomahawk!
Ninja 400 owner here / new rider (as of October). Not a cruiser fan by any means, but this and the Sportster S are the two that do it for me. This bike looks DAMN MENACING! 😍
Ohhhhhh YES! I have been waiting on this one for a long time!
"Ya know, so your passenger doesn't fall off the back and you wonder how you lost a few hundred pounds" 🤣
Not a triumph person or a cruiser person but god fucking damn
Great vid, thanks mate. I have a 1999 Fxstc out to 1550 and all the shite such as inverted twin disc front end 2” over, twin calipers on the back, single fire ignition, RBRacing 2 into 1, tricked CV with a velocity cone, Carlini torque arm, 3 piece Dragway billet rims running Pirelli night dragons, thunderheart billet forward controls, burley V bars, Arlen Ness switches and clutch n brake set ups, Barnett scorpion lock up clutch and Barnett clear derby cover, custom +5 degree billet triple trees, progressive adjustable rear shocks, beautiful mustang seat, custom front tool box mounted on lower down tubes in a front air spoiler configuration made as an alloy sheet metal structure then wrapped in 4mm leather by a saddle maker, tank bra in same leather by the same saddle maker, electronic tachometer shift light in a discreet format sitting just above speedo, air fuel ratio gauge and spartan controller, custom cooling fan that is unobtrusive and cost a mint, head temperature gauges, and on it goes…… why did I bother typing all this shite? I told my missus I want the triumph rocket 3 R black…she reminded me of the no multiple rego unless it’s club rego rule established some time ago when VicRoads were costing more than our mortgage…… knowing I could never sell the FXSTC she walked away confident. Until I gave it to my nephew…… that’s how impressed I am with this Triumph. Moral of this story, my nephew is smarter than me regarding bikes n engineering….he will love it and look after it, I didn’t sell it too a dealer or a flog… so I can live with that, I get too throw a leg over it now n then! It’s not about money…it’s about doing it right, at 62 years of age I believe the electronic assistance this Triumph offers may keep me in the saddle longer. I look forward to the day I can wash my bike without sourcing 10 plastic shopping bags too cover wheel hubs, electrical components, carburettor and such….. the old 1999 has tapered wheel bearings and shite seals so you can imagine how that goes. Billet and chrome is great too look at….try keeping it where it shines, I’m done with that because these days I spend more time polishing than riding. I reckon for the first time in my life I deserve a burger with the lot without having to make it myself….we only get one lap in the race of life, why not do a pit stop just before the end for an upgrade? The rocket 3 R black should have been around in 1999….imagine the time and money saved!
I have the same bike and fitting the quickshifter transforms the ride..its silky smooth gear changes are epic!!...nice review by the way.
I’ve ridden the gt model recently. Really cool bike. High speeds and forward controls don’t go together too well.
Such a cool looking bike. I’m a naked bike kinda guy but that Rocket and Ducati Diavel seriously got my attention. I could see myself riding those kinda bikes.
Subscribed when I saw the multi cam shoot, much higher production value, great talent, love the bike.
I flew from Western Australia to Tasmania to buy a gsx1400 and rode it home to Perth and I was converted just like you are now, the GSX1400 has more bottom end torque than an R1 and its a beast to ride I'll even give it hell on unsealed roads. I want to ride a rocket 3 so bad, I'd love to see a track day on this bike.
Those Brits sure know how to build a bike! The pedigree behind them is just awesome.
That's my next sidecar puller! Wow- that kind of power, solidly built , the basis for a good rig handles like a sports car.
WOW that my kind of bike the Rocket 3 when your riding with this bike youre making a statement and the blackout edition man if i where to return to custom bike the TRIUMPH would be on my list with the mighty VMAX that for sure great video. ride safe.
I bought my 2007 Rocket III Classic with footboards & heel/toe shifter, 2 tone paint & hand stitched saddle in 2010 new in the crate for $11,500 & loved it for years just for the flat torque curve alone.
Dude, you're over 1 mil subs now. Congrats!
Just test rode the Gt. Loved it. Will probably buy an R.
I think the GT is the best machine for tall riders. The torque on this beast is unreal. The design/looks of the bike is superb. Now, you can get some great custom hard cases and front fairing from Corbin, not cheap but well done. You think the K1600 is a beast, try this one.....sick. They do need to add shift assist and wider/taller windscreen.
Favorite moments around 18:00 : “I see why it got the name Rocket!!” LOL Then again at around 26:00 LOL then 31:00 when turning the handlebars haha 👍🏼 I own the 2022 Rocket 3R and love it. Great review!
As a Kawasaki Concours rider, I don’t have to fret over the rear suspension moves under hard acceleration and deceleration…tetra lever baby! But the Triumph sure does look and sound good 😉
Best bike review show ever , just awesome! 👍
Awesome!! Would love to have as my next bike..would never need any upgrades..triumph put there all into a 2.5litre..my first car was a 2.5 litre..crazy all in 3 cylinders...
The first bike that’s got me thinking about riding again. Love it.
Single sided swingarm automatically makes a bike look 8/10 at minimum
Been waiting on this one !
I love the bike! Unless you live in UK it's pretty hard to get a Rocket 3R Black. I got mine eventually, more expensive than it should have been, but in the end, totally worth it. This bike is PERFECT if you come from cruisers and want to touch the naked world. Me personally, I can't take a super naked, I hate the sound, I hate the high revs, but the Rocket... oh boy... it gives you everything you need at low revs. 2.7 secs to 100 km/h is something amazing. The build quality is awesome, the clutch, the gear changer- they are perfect. I drove a couple of days ago a Speed Triple 1200 RS. Even if the motorcycle is an icon itself, the Rocket 3R is WAY above it quality wise.

Yeah the black edition is expensive! I ended up trading my 2020 Red Rocket 3r with only 1500 miles on it for the Limited Black edition. When I saw the black edition in person I knew I had to black out my bike. I have the werkes exhaust which looks so good blacked out on the black edition. I wanted the TFC but the price was crazy compared to the mass production model. Crazy thing is after trading my 2020 in for the 2022 Black edition I ended up paying around the same amount I would have paid for the TFC. I had to get it because it was the only one in Southern California.

That Rocket fits you great, amazing bike!
I have a GT, Triple Black. Love that damn bike and I'm a Harley guy. If Harley made that bike, I would have bought it. But, now that I have a few thousand miles on it, I know that Harley could have never made it. It's just not in their DNA. Triumph just does it better. I still love my Ultra Limited. The wife and I have put 40K miles on it all over the western states. But the level of detail, the engineering, just the overall ride experience on the Rocket is just at another level.
I LOVE the new Rocket 3 bike. The look is brutal and beautiful :-)
respect for showing the speedo and casually going 140 on public roads
I love it , the sound , so smooth
Great video. A comparison with the Diavel and maybe the Vmax would be great. Thanks

Don’t forget the 2022 Buell Hammerhead 1190, there is NO Bike like this new Buell! Ram Air Braking, Framed Fuel Tank for lower center of gravity (looks a bit dated) but the liquid cooled V-Twin in that beast Sounds and Outlast ANY SuperBike on the market today! My Uncle owns and Races an old EBR 1190, abuses it on the track as a Professional Racer and NEVER had any major maintenance issues with it. Buell’s are SOLID! If you bought a Buell, it would outlast your age even if you bought one in your 20’s.
This is one bad ass bike! My disclaimer is, I currently own two Triumphs. An 07 America and an 06 Rocketiii (1st generation). Both excellent bikes. Would definitely entertain a third to fit in my garage!!!
I really want one of those things! I'm about to pay off my HD Deluxe, maybe I'll see if one of these will fit in my budget. I could use a third bike I guess. Chase you are a heck of a salesman.
Great video really enjoyed your views. Ride safe my friend and keep the videos coming. God bless
40+ years, 750,000 miles over a score of motorcycles my 2014 Rocket III Roadster is one of my fondest memories. I sure wish I could throw down on a new one.
Throw an ECU tune on it and it immediately becomes 15-20% more robust. I love my Rocket 3. Just wrecked it due to badguys on the road. Getting it repaired soon hopefully.

What a beautiful cover for this bike. It's an awesome machine for real. Wow!!!
I can’t believe you weren’t initially sold on the looks of the R3. IMO it’s gorgeous, but I’m kind of a Triumph simp so take it with a grain of salt lol
Top quality review as always.
I’ve never heard of this bike!! Wow I’m hooked!!!
Glad you found that stylin' is half the fun with a ride like that. I got a sidecar to show off an you bet it's leather, scarf and goggles.
I haven't ridden a bike regularly since the 90's but I've kind of gotten the itch again. I started looking at bikes and fell in love with the look of this thing. But man, this does not look like a bike that is newb friendly lol.
Love the look of the new Rocket3’s. That all black one is right up my alley. Enjoy the muscle cruisers!!! OC

Admire your videos! Was wondering what your camera setup was ?
Chase, as you know, I had a Rocket back in the day, a 2012 R3R, and it was amazing. I probably averaged one ticket a year on that thing, but i did ride it 10-12k a year though. Also, I was never sold on this new Rocket, it's looks too 'plasticky' (and electronic) to me, and I love the styling of the old one, HOWEVER, this Black version... I think I gotta get me one now, so thanks a lot bruv!
I've loved that bike for a while now. More of a sportbike guy but man this thing is just sweet. I think I'll grab one with a sissy bar for my kids to hop on the back.
Hey I was just wondering if you were going to continue the venom x22 series of videos that you did a while back maybe you can switch out the sprocket or do a update on how the bike held up I recently bought a venom and I'm loving it. it's my first bike it really helped me learn how to ride I love the whole lifestyle of riding on two wheels now I'm confident I can ride a bigger bike thanks to the x22 it is totally worth the 1900 bucks keep up the good work I enjoy your videos take it easy
The torque is what makes it so fun you should try the v max to
Man, that bike looks sick. But it also looks like a lot of speeding tickets. Not sure I'd be able to resist the urge to gun it. Rocket seems to be a very apt name.
I'm typically a sportbike/sport naked type of rider... but I would love to have one of these Rocket 3s.
Certainly my next motorcycle!!
I did a test ride on a rocket 3 R. After ridding the Harley street glide which I ride daily, the rocket feels like a dream machine... 700 lbs wet for the rocket with 800 plus, close to 900, for the glide... makes the rocket feel like a toy. unbelievable ride. Mind blown as well. Corbin makes a nice bat-nose fairing for the rocket. Bags aren't really needed on a bike that does 100 miles per tank more or less. thinking a rack and small pack to carry essentials, ice tea, wallet, registration .... stuff like that....

By the time you start adding fairings and stuff, you might as well just keep riding the Harley. The Rocket is great the way it is. I added the tire pressure monitoring system, tank knee pads, swapped the seat out for the solo seat, added on the clutch less gear changing, and added on the small windscreen that the GT has standard. I also switched to the handlebars from the GT so they come back a bit more (I’m only 5’3”). I also plan on changing out the battery to a lithium ion. This bike is a true game changer. It’s a beast!!! It’s also faster than the 929 I used to have.
