23 Triumph Rocket 3 R REVIEW and TEST RIDE!! 2500 CC RACE BIKE

The SECOND of the two new Triumph Rocket 3 's that I rode, and WOW. Triumph, what the heck are you doing?? This big is a MONSTER. 2500 cc's of pepper. 165hp. Insane. And it doesn't look that bad either! The R model opts for more of the RACING presents, SPORT suspension, no windscreen, and awesome exhaust note. Really impressed with this bike, for what it is!!
Let me know your thoughts if you have slung a leg with the new R3 R from triumph. It sure is a Rocket! One of my top bikes I have ever demo'd!!

I test rode the old Rocket lll Roadster around 14 years ago. I couldn't believe how light it was taking it off the side stand. Low centre of gravity which locks the bike the the road when you're moving. Heavy on petrol. The new model would be even more manageable as it's a lot lighter.The main reason it handles is the low centre of gravity. I wouldn't want to try and pick it up.

Every youtube video i see of the Rocket have all one thing on common scream giggle and laught that tell it all, i own a 2020 Rocket 3 GT i feel badass when i ride it just looking at it you that motorcycle is special a lot of people talk to me when i take a break to ask question about it no other bike i owned had that effect on peoples its like having a ferrari its attract the crowd.

Hey Pete… I met you at the rally and rode this bike after you did and it’s an absolute animal! I love it so much but it makes no sense at all to own which kinda makes me want it more….I’d love to go ride sometime next summer ( I’m a Mainah too)

I have this same exact bike. Same model year, color, R version, everything.

I will say a stock Ducati Diavel V4 is faster doing times around 10.3. And a built 143CI Harley Road Glide is even faster doing times around 9.9. But the Rocket is still great competition with times around 10.8. I wunna upgrade to the Storm. The Storm is gunna be completely nuts.

You aught to ride a Rocket with the speed shifter, pegging the throttle on the Rocket and running through the gears without lifting up on the throttle is indescribable fun.. I am an old man and I have ridden my Rocket GT over 1000 miles in one day with very little discomfort. But to heck with the little postage stamp windshields. If you ride long distances in my opinion you need a proper sized windshield, I have a Madstad on mine and recommend it. And I dont doubt that I have more miles on my Rocket (GT or R) than anyone else around (no commuting miles either).

Mines red I wouldn't want it all black. Blacks nice but I like shiny bolts, pipes it's fun to polish

The radiators on that bike are bigger than the ones in my house.

My only question is, do you get any water splashing up your back during wet rain riding?

[dustinleonsky]

The only competitors to this bike would be a Yamaha V Max and a Ducati Diavel V4.

I had this and the Ducati XDiavel.. just for info the Ducati was faster, and handled better. Ok it didn’t have the torque, but put them side by side and the Ducati would win

[jimanders]

Pfffft, it has WAY more low end torque than any vtwin you have ridden.

[davidlagno]

It is cool. But theres nothing race about it. Terrible HP/weight ratio, shaft driven and it has plenty of rivals in 2024. Im 42 and its old man to me. Just imo

Now also test the new Ducati Diavel V4.... you'll be surprised!
