Triumph used to make a touring version of the Rocket III… I had one in 2012. It was detuned to 105 HP but was set up perfectly for long distance comfort. I took it to Bike Week in Scottsdale Az one year and the Harley guys couldn’t believe it was a 140 inch motor. It made their Softails and Dynas look puny. I miss that bike.

your enthusiam and incredibly helpful videos helped me get a job at triumph, so its always good to see you enjoying their bikes!

I’ve been looking at this bike for over 2 years now. Pandemic hit, then I bought a house, now I’m changing jobs and I never seem to have the time to get into riding like I wanted to. Glad to see you review this bike because I’ve been following you for a while.

Love my 3R, as I prefer the sportier position from higher pegs and wider bars and can use weight more and has slightly more lean. Still a good tourer tho. My U.K. bike redlines at 7k, fact it makes more torque at 2000rpm than most bikes peak is great with peak power at 6000rpm, and can average 55mph cruising on motorway but average 41mpg. Furthest I’ve seen was 185 miles on one tank and shortest was 130 miles in Sport 😎 Having ridden both, the turn in on the 3R is way better as you have a bit more weight over the front tyre, and more counter steer on the straighter-wider bar but you need longer arms to get comfortable with, the front rake is stepped so not as long as first appears but check the Avons too & that they are not squared as the Rocket is very sensitive to that. I often ride on tighter turns and use a bit of pendulum flick and rear trail brake to get the bike nicely tucked in, sit on the rear side wall and roll out, very satisfying 😎 And a flash will give you ~180bhp rear wheel 😈 and unlock rev limiters … higher redline, oh and try one with the quick shifter, full throttle shifts and auto blipper downshifts, awesome and really livens the big bike up 😎

Ya Noob, I am convinced. I will be riding the Rocket from Tuck@ the Arctic ocean to Patagonia in Chile...70 yr. rider on the long last ride...to the vanishing point...Gonna be my icing on the cake adventure...on two wheels all the way( 'cept the "gap")...I will be in touch; thanks for the input, crazy to critical and laughing all the way...live to ride and ride to live!! "dom vivimus, vivimus"!, and for you young cucumbers "semper ubi, sub ubi"...

My second bike was a 2018 Rocket 3. It had "only" 145 lb / feet of torque. I will admit it was a totally different bike than this newest take, but it brought a Joker-like grin to my face every time I twisted my right wrist.

My exs step dad had a rocket 3 back in 2016, I rode it a few times and that thing was an absolute monster, but he had upgraded a bunch of performance parts. He got t-boned by a lady in her suv when she blew a red light and totalled it, used the insurance money on a $40k Harley, added another 30k in aftermarket parts, I was so disappointed in him.

The R3GT is a great touring motorcycle! I have taken it on rides to Vegas and down the Baja peninsula and back with no iron butt. Wind protection is non existent but can be fixed with a puig extender and it can be fitted with sport bags. Throw on a competition werkes exhaust and it sounds like a jet fueled tractor. Oh…it goes from zero to 60 in 2.7 seconds. Take that Tesla!

Bought a new GT a couple of months ago. There was just something about it. First bike in almost 40 years to do that. The little torque dance it does in neutral when you blip the throttle had something to do with it I'm sure. For us old paratroopers, the mild forward controls is a godsend to our knees and hips. And if people want to bitch about the range they don't get this bike. The mileage does suffer from a bad case of unleashed genie syndrome, but the giggles are worth it. Thanks for the vid!

One day I'll get this bike for sure! Can't wait to see what happened at the end haha.

Another note about the 2020+ Rocket 3. The default throttle mapping limits the throttle to 70%, even in sport mode, even at a full twist. So you're only getting ~70% of the bike's potential. As far as the ending of the video goes, seems like a fueling issue. I haven't had any similar issues with mine though. I did a bit of cross-country on mine and was averaging ~40 MPG and got about 170 miles per tank before I felt the need to refuel. Zipping around town with a lot of stop and go, I only get ~35 MPG. It definitely drinks gas, but mine's also ECU tuned to give me 100% throttle and is noticeably faster than stock. If you're absolutely ripping it, 30-32 MPG.

This has to be the best starter bike forsure lol

I fully expect you to get one of these one day, add a passenger seat, and take your girl touring. Forget the Road Glide, forget the Gold Wing this is the best touring bike for Yam.

After watching this video I can say that the triumph bias is taking over yammie

The way I judge how good motorcycle is and how fun it is to ride is by how much you laugh in your videos by the time you get to third gear. The rocket 3 must be a blast. I think I will only ever own a Triumph. I have two and I am looking for a third..

Watched a lot of Rocket 3 reviews & never seen this actually happen before but have heard about it on older models. If it's not fuel related could be the keyless ignition or a faulty crankshaft sensor maybe. Will be interested to see part 2.

I have become more and more comfortable in the twisties as I learnt how to control it and now I'm smiling all the time and not feeling that butt pucker anymore.

It also looks better by a very large margin.

I put the mid pegs on my GT after a year and a half and it is a lot more comfortable and better for the curves. The problem with the power is that it makes my other bikes seem tame. It is more like a muscle car than a bike. It still makes me smile when I ride. That's the whole point. Not had mine cut out on me yet. The key fob is a pain and the suspension is not bad when adjusted to your riding style

Very interesting. I have a 22 gt limited edition. About to head out for a ride and was debating on whether to take my Rocket or my F6B. This video isn't a deciding factor, but for the distance away from home I plan on riding, it's something to somewhat consider. 😒 Please update when you find out what caused this.

May have missed it, but I didn’t see any discussion about YN’s complaints about the rear suspension having too much rebound dialed in. I’ve only done test rides, but I think for those of you who weigh at least, say, 235 lb., you’ll find that unlike most bikes, the suspension is dialed in nicely for us big boys.

that ending was actually pretty good, makes me a want to pay attention for a follow-up

Exactly. Your comment about the wind is correct. If you don't want to feel the wind in your face then ride in a car. This bike is fantastic fun. I'll never be without it

With your feet forward, there’s no way to squirm around on the seat, after an hour in the same position. So your butt and lower back, are in agony after 2 hours. I found myself actually looking forward to the next fuel stop. I think the R model would be a better tourer, due to having your feet below you. The torque was addictively MESMERIZING!!!

In Rocket specific forums I see people using them all sorts of ways and that is fine. I do not think it is a great one bike fits all choice. Not many bikes are. I honestly wouldn't recommend it for everyone. I plan on getting another bike for a different type of riding. That said, I really enjoy this bike. I plan to keep it long term.

That Gen 1 2300cc triple is over-built, that mill can go 9K using MoTec ECU, tuning software. The issue w/ the new R3 is Triumph didn't learn anything from the previous model. It would cost but a few pennies more per bike to make it a real world-beater in the cruiser market . The Gen 1 R3 can't beat a Duc Diavel...the Diavel gives the R3 w/ a Carpenter 245 kit a fit. The Gen 2 engine for all it's capacity just takes a huge crap approaching the rev limiter, big nose-dive due to software mapping when it's capable of still making big power reliably, safely

Just bought a 2020 r model a week ago in Mississippi. Rode it back home to Texas. Amazing bike so far. Comfortably mostly highway I get 160 miles riding the way I do.

i just switched from aprilia tuono v4 to rocket 3. loved my aprilia, had it for a year, but after the novelty feeling were off, i didn't want to ride it. every time i took it to work i didn't want to ride it back after 14 hours shift. it became my weekend bike, i take it out for a day, have fun and put it back to next week. also didnt like certain things. aprilai run hot, like hot day and you're stuck in straffic, it overheats. the ride was always too jerky, it was fun, but not on the days you want a calm ride, even in touring mode. so i test drove rocket 3. Bike has everything i need and nothing i dont. only thing i do miss from my aprilia, is the front wheel dumper and long gears. I accelerate faster, i go faster in most regards (going straight), it flicks fairly easy, not as easy as sport bike, but not far from it. i got saddle bags on it, and and pillion bag. Im golden now. i can take it for a long ride, with no worries. Also in comparison to my aprilia tuono..... on aprialia in race mode i was getting about 90-100 miles per tank, on this guy i get 130-140 miles per tank. it doesnt run hot as aprilia does, handles hot day in traffic perfectly. plenty of power, with smooth delivery. feels very confident on the road. doesn't has excess things, only what you need. Like aprilia had ton of gimicky racer things, 6 modes, on the go traction control button in place where your turn signals had to be, so i ended up never using turn signals and etc. Rocket, has every thing in right places and proper amount of it. you can drag race it, but it wont be good for track day. so if you want speed and comfort, but don't ever plan to hit a track, rocket is your bike. btw im 35, too young to be a cruiser dad.

Both of those videos are recent and I've been watching for years and years. Maybe not subscribe that long but I've been watching. Maybe skit comedy is another branch for good videos?

I have 45,000 miles now on my 2020 GT so here are my thoughts: I put the mid pegs on my GT and love the change. As far as the tight twisties I have had exactly one guy on a sport bike I couldn’t keep up with or pass, while I have passed dozens of sport bikes. I would have no problem doing a ride with a group of sport bike guys, I may not be the fastest but I would bet I would be no where near the rear. I think the reviewer is just not used to the weight of the Rocket. And I have been on much twistier roads than in the video. Add a windshield and saddlebags and you have a great tourer as well. So play with the sport bike guys and tour with the tourers its I feel the best combination bike around. My two bits.

Sounds like I'd enjoy riding with you. Just gotta put your shoulders into the corners but power right through them. He heads in hot then corners with no power, then accelerates. Barrel through it and let it eat. I've only got a 2013 but some day I'll get one if these. Ps.... I'm just too fat for my 07 gixxer 1000 and all my rocket friends switched to those slow rattling hogs.

How many miles did you get on a back tire?

@@jdub264 I average about 11,000 miles per rear. But most of the time I have the TC on to save rubber.

Put the TTS supercharger kit on it!

Yammie, if you like this you'd love the Ducati Diavel, seriously

That thing is a beast and it seemed to handle the twisty bits ok. Would definitely get the mid mount controls though.

Two words Boss Hoss! I have seen a few in Ga. Then again I don't think it was a production bike. I have seen the Rockets here at the dealership yes Awesome!!!!!

I must have this bike! 🤤 I just don't make enough to buy one. I have to settle for my Triumph Speedmaster.

The rocket review I've been waiting for

Yammie, if you had your choice between the 2022 hayabusa and the rocket 3GT/R, which one do you think you would choose?

Youd think theyd tune in an ECU map for "touring mode" to try and limit the fueling a bit to extend the range of a full tank.

or make a gas tank twice the size, which is what Triumph should have done in the first place.

The bike gets decent range. I recently bought a 2020r model. My standard cruising speed is 80-85 mph. Mostly highway I get comfortably 160 miles. 170 ish if I push it. Furthest I pushed it was 175 miles. Pumped like 4.4 gallons so it wasn’t completely empty. It would get even more range if i cruised at slower speeds but I don’t.

That would be the sensible thing to do… …but this bike just wasn’t born to be sensible 🤷‍♂️

Range is decent on my 3R, 54mpg on motorway. 160 mile + range… short shifting makes a big difference… and if you want to lower power then there is a wet mode and road mode is a lot more chilled than Sport, you can also completely disable TC for the hooligans and tyre roasters 😆

Range is actually not bad. If you need to extend your range you can already use road mode and ride smoothly, even use the cruise control. But feeling that torque in sport mode is just too addictive. That's the problem.

Great Video Bud 🇬🇧

The black edition is the way to go
