I have been on many different bikes. From Bmw S1000RR, GS1250, H2, various other amazing motorbikes but nothing comes close to this! The rocket really ripped my socks off. The stability, the looks, ride position, features, the brut brut power on that massive wide back tyre. My oh my!!! This is the king of kings!!! Yes some super bikes will be quicker but nothing, nothing comes close to this beast. This bike will cause families to split up. Go try it for yourself and prove me wrong. Truimph GT 2.5 Rocket is fu!#ing amazing. The KING OF KINGS. Everything on this beast is fantastic. I love love love this masterpiece.

That’s a stonkin’ ride mate! What a beautiful machine, and the design of the rear pegs are utterly brilliant. Triumph nailed it on this one. I’ve admired the Rocket since it’s initial launch, but your vid made me WANT ONE!

[UncleWally]

The pinch-weld free tank is a major contribution to the bike’s sculptured appearance; bravo Triumph!

[piersdenney]

Laughed my arse off through this episode. Nice one. Knew you’d love the Rocket 3. I still giggle every time I crack the throttle open. Hope the weather gets better for you.

[AdamsLifeRiding]

Now that is how you do a motorcycle review. I could feel the passion you have for the Rocket 3. It looks and sounds like a absolute beast. I really enjoyed the video thanks

[LambChopRides]

Such an awesome bike isnt, I absolutely love it

[jimanders]

I have over 27, 000 km on my GT now and I still get the goofy smile when I open up the throttle!

[Roy_Godiksen]

This bike is on my "Must Try" list. Looks amazing and from what everyone who rides it says, it's great to ride too.

[bunhead]

I used to park beside one when I rode to work in downtown Toronto, a brit owned it...he called it his getting around town bike!

There I was trying to find an excuse to order one of these. Still not sure whether the R or the GT is the right one for me but, thank you, I now have to only choose between these two.
Perfect review.

Own one here in Canada. It is awesome. Mine is the R. I own 3 bikes. Harley ultra limited and a Yamaha xsr 900. Everyone looks and asks about it. Great review.

[MBoarBiker]

Love your enthusiasm for this bike. Great to see you on a British brand ! I'm looking forward to more Rocket and indeed Triumph video, , please 😃

Hi Richy, great "First" review mate, but I totally agree with you. I saw the bike in the bike press pictures and thought it was beautiful. Went to the bike show to try one for size, and had to fight to get on it.
I put my deposit down in January for the first of march, but I didn't actually get it till the 27th of May. I went for the silver grey GT, just coming up to 4000 miles and I still can't stop smiling, I don't think that torque will ever get old, and the burble on overrun is fantastic.
Ride safe mate and I'm looking forward to more of the same.

the advanced indicator option means you can do a quick press of button and it only does 3 flashes . longer press of button for normal, both self cancel after set times

I've had a few Triumphs Richy, in fact I have a Scrambler 1200 garaged with my Ninja 1000 and the Scrambler is the same what I like is the fact that Triumph are making bikes people want to buy and have come on in leaps and bounds in my opinion

[docgreen]

And he runs up and smashes the ball into the net. Whoops - it’s not a soccer channel, it’s a bike channel!! Richy you nailed it. This big and I mean BIG brother of the Speedmaster is some bike and you’re the only reviewer who’s expressed the absolute joy and thrill of it. It’s just a fab bike. I’ve got a whole “team” out doing paper rounds so I can buy one. Never mind whether the kids can eat - get them out to work too!! You’ll be needing a bigger garage and I’ve got planning permission underway for an indoor footy pitch just to house this beauty. It’s a toy but my god what a toy - thanks so much for the best ever review! Yours aye, Alan

[BRITISHREPUBLICANuk]

Nice one Richy - and I must have watched at least 10 R3 reviews. Yours is a fresh approach.

[dinbosco]

You have a nice presentation style with funny awesome commentary. The bike is a piece of art of course

[mikewood]

I share your enthusiastic appreciation for this bike
live in Texas, and I just bought a used 2021 GT with 2000 miles on it, in ice grey three tone.
The original owner put a werx exhaust on it.
I was going to test ride a Tiger 900 after test riding the Rocket.
I fell in lust as soon as I cranked it up. After the test ride, I completely forgot about the Tiger.
The torque on this bike is so brutal, it makes you behave…..for a little bit
I absolutely LOVE this bike
No buyers remorse, or wondering what another bike would be like
Love your vids

[ronnielozano]

I have a 2005 Rocket III, added an after market exhaust and a power commander.
Power commander set for fuel economy and getting 37 mpg on my rocket. Love the bike
