Rocket 3

I dont know what came over me. I just traded in my Triumph ST for a 2006 Rocket 3. It's like taking off on appollo 13.

I'll let u know how it goes. I only have 12 miles on it :!:

I would like to know what you think of this machine. Handling, maintenance, workmanship etc compared to Nortons and triumphs that you have had experience with.

Well Jerry, whaddaya think so far?

Triumph Rocket 3

I am impressed with the Rocket!

Now nearly 6000 miles on it. I have changed the rear shocks to progressive and changed to a Corbin seat. I have the Triumph Rocket 3 bags.

It is comfortable, fast, stops well and for what it is handles very well. It was definately designed to be ridden.

I ride 40 miles round trip for work daily on it.

The best thing is the low down torque, so I can power or if need be chug along in second. In top gear at just under 4000 revs its doing 90 MPH.

I have somehow perfected riding through traffic on it. I didnt think I would be able to due to its sheer size, but it is very nimble!
