Nice one! All you MCN reviewers are great. I don't have a lot of desire for this beast, but I appreciate that it's around. I demoed it last year - lots of fun.

I have had the TFC variant for 4 years now, love it! Quick shifter is sublime, well worth the investment. Average 46mpg over 20, 000 miles. I don't hang about but not heavy on the brakes, so fairly efficient. Sport mode is insane! These new Storm models look great.
Masterpiece in motorcycling engineering.

This thing is insane. That torque is nuts. Good review, good honest dude 👍

[EvLSpectre]

Seriously not lying about that torque. During a demo ride, I was doing maybe 40mph (70kph?) in 6th, going uphill, and the bike just pulls. Its insane how much torque is on hand for this bike. It does look way bigger in pictures than in person, but its still a big bike. Handles surprisingly well for its size

Rocket 3 came out in 1968. this bike is the beast among beasts.

[otlndsh]

This bike looks huge online but I was surprised how compact it is live in-person.

...GREAT BIKE...GOOD TO SEE TRIUMPH LEADING THE WORLD IN MOTORCYCLES LIKE IT USED TO DO...LOVE TO HAVE ONE ....!!

[borissh]

Great reviewer! He surely was someone important in the British government in his previous life)

[saurabhlekhi]

What an amazing review mate.
Totally agree with you, that it looks really intimidating but as soon as u start riding it becomes so easy.
I was lucky enough to buy the 1st storm in India and it was just an amazing experience.
Would love to see a comparison video of with and without a quick shifter.

Thanks have a great day.

[candymintz]

absolutely correct when you say; 'there's nothing wrong with the old bike'

[davelawson]

I have a 22 plate gt version with the quickshifter. Love the bike brings a smile to my face whenever I ride. Easy to handle and im only 5'7.

I have a 2023 Rocket-R model, and the crowd that this Bike Attracts during Bike Nights it makes Every Harley-Davidson in the crowd disappear. I love to park it, and have people look at it. And I did have to buy the Quick-Shifter, and the heated grips on my R model

[MrAndrew]

I love the bike for its size that gives it a real presence no car driver can ignore . Shaft drive brilliant, fwd controls a terrible idea. I like the R with the high screen and I’ve never had a bike with a quick shifter so I wouldn’t miss it.

[SteveLawrance]

Great vid, thank you.. My question is, if you drop it, can you pick it up on your own ?

[lihlengeyane]

I wish someone can surprise me with this bike 😍

[yellowird]

Not a cruiser type, but keen to give this a go.

[matthiashauptmann]

Obviously not much has changed since my Moto Guzzi Griso 1100 from 2006: Lots of displacement in a low number of cylinders and shaft-drive do not combine to be a quick shifting ride. With experience you can still shift without clutch but I would not recommend this as the standard-gearchange ...

[royevans]

A) £23, 000 used to be to buy a house and B) Quickshifter when you have that much torque? Nah.

[paul]

I have a 2020 Rocket 3 and the bike is out of service every summer when the conditions are good to ride it. I currently have about 12 thousand miles on the bike and should have much more, but it is always out of service.

Rear Brakes stops working about every 1500 miles.
Engine blew at 4500 miles
Now it just shuts off and gives me a TCS error and the only available slot for it to get looked at is Aug 20!!! I

really feel like Triumph Motorcycleles owes me something for the years of issues I have been having and all of the riding time that has been stripped from me for buying this product, which I am still paying for and not able to enjoy!!

[racebiketuner]

IMO, it would look a lot better with a single 8-inch headlight and a pair of spots.
