Triumph Rocket 3 Storm Review: The Best Value Motorcycle In The World (Sort Of)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Triumph Rocket 3 Storm is expensive as far as motorcycles go, but in a way, it kind of isn't. We rode this newly updated version of the Rocket in the South of France to see what it's like, and explain that it's one of the best value motorcycles money can buy. Sort of.

    I have the Black limited edition, since almost 3 years ago and 28000km. The best bike ever. I've ridden lots of bikes, even now I own 3 more (2 Indians and 1 MV Agusta), and the Rocket is the best of the bunch. Last summer I did 5500 km in 7 days on the Italian coast. No back hurt, no butt hurt, no arms hurt - I have no words to praise it enough...

    The quick shifter is a no brainer, great value and great fun for the money. Also compared to my Harley Ultra the Rocket does not put out anywhere near the engine heat. I have over 80,000 miles on my 2020 GT now and when it wears out I will be getting another Rocket. Great review, thanks.

    Looks great and if you wait for a previous years model or on occasion 2 year old but unsold for almost $8,000 off. Same for the speed triple RR 2023 model near me is over $5k off. So a long way of saying, no it’s not worth it.

At that price it belongs with rich people who believe that stupid engine size in a bike is cool. 'Not a good combination but possibly a good recipe for sales. 'Bit like super cars really!
