I bought a 2022 Rocket 3 three weeks ago , and this review sums it up, so perfectly. I test drove one over a year ago and that was it, I knew I would buy one. I love riding again. Such a great bike.
I think I have watched so many reviews on this motorcycle and glad to finally come across yours. The presentation and honesty in this video made an impact on me and how I feel about this bike as someone who has never been given the privilege to ride one. Also I think this is one of very rare 3R models that shows what the bike looks like when you have fitted the saddlebags after the fact. Enjoyed your video very much and it's chilled etherealness. My only negative is the quality of your images when you have a camera following you.
Thank you for the feedback!😊 Nothing is perfect and in general i think that the small negative things are important to mention as those might be big things in the long run. Totally agree with the follow shot quality. 🙈
Very well done, Lady! Compliments!! I ride a rare TFC Rocket and I am fully satisied over the last 10'000 Miles. The bike is impressive and (what I call)has an imperial appearance. As I often drive in the Alps, I had to learn to drive sharp bend winding curves totally different than with a normal bike, this due to the wheelbase. But the Rocket simply: is it!
Thank you for your insightful and honestly refreshing review. I think it’s important to not only hear about the magic but also to understand that you need to get to know your new companion’s foibles. Cheers
Well, finally someone honest in a motorcycle review. Most of the people will tell only the good things of their bikes. Good review, nice music.....now I do want one! jajaja
I have my GT from april 2020 and +/- 10.000km om the clock, I'm very very happy with this bike, nice, powerfull, confortable (also in duo), safe and easy to drive in any circumstances: motorways, small roads, moutain's roads... I recently put a quick shift, a must in sport mode and for mountain's roads. Same probleme with waterproofness of the bags, I got new one with watertigh bag inside...even efficient as a trash bag... Only real defect for me: the fuel tank is not big enough for long distances (250-270km max), from 240 km I pray to find a gas sation...
Hi! Good to hear there has not been issues with the bike and you’re enjoying it! I have a quicshifter as well, and it is a must. I share the grief with fuel tank, let’S hope we won’t be left on the road😄
Excellent video. I saw the Rocket 3 GT on a tour of the Hinckley factory. I decided on the spot that I needed one. After a road test,my order went in. It arrives at the end of April 😁👍
Thanks for the great review. It is refreshing to watch and listen to an open and honest appraisal of a bike that the person has actually paid for, and not just a journalist's quick test ride. The videography is excellent too. One question if I may? If you wanted to use panniers I'm guessing you considered the 'GT' model before choosing the 'R'? Can you say why you chose the 'R' instead? Was it the position of the footrests by any chance? Happy and safe riding!
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. :) I tested the GT first and after that there was no way I would have bought it. GT felt just wrong. And it´s not that I have not ridden forward controls before and liked that on other bikes. When I got to test the R I was smitten. It looks better (red color really pops) and with the mid controls i felt like I am riding the bike and not just sitting as passenger, to me the R was the only option, but I needed the panniers as well. :) -P-
I have a black one and everything you said was spot on 👍🏼 Its truly a wonderful motorcycle 😃 My only criticism is the colour… the black is like from a 2003 Toyota Rav 4 it’s horrid. The black on my brothers new MT09 is beautiful in comparison
Wow, that was the best and nicest video.ive ever watched. I own this bike and I've never loved a bike like I do this bike. I'm 70 I needed to make a statement. And my Triumph has done that. I have my own lawncare so I'll ride in nice areas to look for lawns. It's quit everyone waves . Young boys see it and stare . I'm not 70 . I'm still young with this bike. No windshield nieghter. No plastic to look threw. My shoei helmets helps big time.
Really good review I just bought one .A GT version I have just sold my 2004 Rocket111 It was a hard decision because I loved that bike l hope I dont regret it 😜👍
What a nice video . I fell in Love With This Bike . Lol It be the bike I'd keep in my livingroom. Its wouldnt be parked anywhere else. A specail spot. I dont have one I have Granddaughter that need me. So I'll have to wait and Dream. I'm going to be a Great Grampa in a mouth. . Thank You for sharing this bike like You did!!!!! Big time nice !!!!
Excellent honest, and beautiful review! Very well done! I just bought a 2022 Goldline Speedmaster and love it. Key though is the dealer as all new bikes, cars, boats, etc. can still have issues. Some of the issues you brought up though are design issues, and I think you are spot on, like the fuel tank sizes. Mine is 12L (3 gallon) and although I get 60mpg, I would still like a bit more distance. This bike is a keeper for sure, and I'm looking forward to your review of it someday (and your T-120, which I almost bought had the Speedmaster not come in,) but I will buy a Rocket III (probably GT) for my next and last bike (I'm 63) as what else would one need? :)
Very good video production! Your voice is also calming. How's the engine heat? I heard it gets really hot. Im from the Philippines and the traffic is really terrible. Will the engine burn my inner thighs? Thanks!
Thank you!🙂🙂 Well the engine does produce heat and you start to feel it when standing in traffic. It does not burn you, but you’ll definitely feel it. I’m guessing hot/warm climate won’t help. As I’m trying to avoid traffic jams even in +20 celscius 🤨
I have not had any trouble with mine. I have the 2020 version just like yours. Korosi red 3R. The fuel cap does not bother me, on the highway (Interstate) I was getting 43 mpg. I love mine and wouldn't change a thing on it.
Hi! Nice to hear you’ve not had any problems. I enjoy details in general so I’m not surprised that a fuel cap catches my attention.😂 Enjoy the rides!🔥🔥 -P
Hi, thank you! The bike is surprisingly easy or good to handle in the city, the heat of from the engine is the biggest ”pain”. Maneuvering when not in move at all (parking etc) is not my favourite thing with it, but doable.👍
Planning to get one in the coming months. How is the heat since you are basically riding on top of a sedan class engine? I will be upgrading from a Harley-Davidson Street Rod 750. It gets uncomfortable level hot after riding in traffic.
Hi, it does get hot when in city traffic and if it is quite warm outside. When you’re in the move it’s okay👍 But not pleasent on a hot day in the city🙈
Well done, it’s a women’s world on the Rocket. Usually the first production versions tend to have niggles which will be ironed out in subsequent model years. Nevertheless it’s not all usual roses. Great review, Cheerio.
Hi, The job was done is a place that specializes in car fixing, coating and taping. I believe it is Avery Dennison SWF Carbon Fiber Black. The tape looks as good as when installed, even the bike has now 4000km in the clock.
Ok it’s nice to acknowledge that such an impressive bike is in fact giving you the joy and pleasure that somehow is expected. But if you wanted to rev it harder and faster, the only counter I see is the lack of wind protection mainly when you need to munch some miles and go on highway routes.
Thank you! That feedback feels super as this video hobby has just started few months ago.😍 Nice to hear that the review might have given some new insigth on the bike as well.🙂🙂
Hi, Yeah I am. The plan is to get some footage before season end and to make an update how things went 👍 I tested the GT as well, but for this kind of a bike (and for me on it) the middle controls worked better. And the sportiness of a giant appeals too 😃 -P
Hey hi. Quite explicit review. This is Ajay from India. I am quite keen to go for Rocket 3R, but people here are saying not to buy Triumph and to go for Honda goldwing or BMW etc. Rocket 3R would be my very first bike as because i am riding Royal Enfield since a decade which is 350 Cc & 535 Cc respectively. Would you suggest Rocket 3R being a beginner?
Hi, The most scary part of the Rocket is the weight of it. The power is controllable and there are aids that help controlling the power, like using Rain or Road -driving modes. But the get most out of riding and building confidence, some other bike might be better option. But i would not take too small bike either. Like Bonneville T120 was my wives first bike, and that has been great. Rocket’s engine produces heat quite a lot. So If the climate is very hot, Rocket might be very hot.
@@wivesonbikes excellent reply, absolutely agree (experienced rider here looking to buy a Rocket)! What a great review, I must say the most calmest and soothing view on such a monster bike, bravo!
Hi, when you are in the move, even in lower speeds maneuvering, it’s not bad at all. Moments when not in the move but just parking and moving it around the garage are not my favourite, but doable.
Handles incredibly well at low speeds. I just got the GT. It lives up to its reputation, muscle cruiser- in my opinion is that is is far more rocket than cruiser.

Triumph after sales not the best .My Street twin had whole new wiring harness with 1200 miles on clock . Sixty three thousand units effected. Started off with signal not flashing when turning bars on opposite lock.
@@wivesonbikes I don't understand their comment. Did you end up selling your Rocket? If you did, you're allowed to do what you wish. :) If that is the truth, did you go for a newer model or did you buy something else? I've been looking at the Rocket. Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
@@SQTierHog Yes the Rocket was sold. It is and was an awesome bike, but i need more versatility and i don’t want hold on to a bike even if it is great if i can’t use it for what I would need. Not an easy desicion but it has felt right. Insurance does not cover ride trainings on the track where we live. So Rocket for me, Rocket was top expensive to take on one.
Disappointing to hear you've had a few minor issues. I am interested in buying one and am put off by such stories. I bet your fuel consumption will improve when the bike is run in and you start doing longer distances. The engine must take forever to fully warm up.
@@wivesonbikes That is only the coolant warming up quickly. The engine oil on such a large capacity engine would take at least 20 minutes, maybe more, to fully warm up. Until then, it is not operating economically.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o not denying any of that. Just to note that the bike was not pleasent to be on due to the heat and well, that size of of engine what can you expect. Just one those things need to decide on whether one wants to live with it or not.
@@wivesonbikes Thanks for your comments. I am going to give it a year to see if this particular 'bike lust' wears off. I have just bought a pristine secondhand Yamaha SCR950 with only 4,200 km showing and also have a 2018 KTM 390 Duke, plus a Yamaha Aerox 155. I live in Thailand most of the year.
I bought a 2022 Rocket 3 three weeks ago , and this review sums it up, so perfectly. I test drove one over a year ago and that was it, I knew I would buy one. I love riding again. Such a great bike.
I just bought one too, it’s amazing and a head turner.

Hey hi. Quite explicit review. This is Ajay from India. I am quite keen to go for Rocket 3R, but people here are saying not to buy Triumph and to go for Honda goldwing or BMW etc. Rocket 3R would be my very first bike as because i am riding Royal Enfield since a decade which is 350 Cc & 535 Cc respectively. Would you suggest Rocket 3R being a beginner?
Hi, The most scary part of the Rocket is the weight of it. The power is controllable and there are aids that help controlling the power, like using Rain or Road -driving modes.
But the get most out of riding and building confidence, some other bike might be better option. But i would not take too small bike either. Like Bonneville T120 was my wives first bike, and that has been great.

Yes, so many complaints. When will you be getting something else?
Awesome well doe
Electrical issues on a British made machine?? Unheard of.

It only does what you ask, but If you ask, it really moves. So yes and no. 🔥👍

It is comfortable for 6 feet person
Hi, Should be alright👍👍 I’m not that tall😄
I suppose it's not a good beginner bike? :)
The weight of the bike might be bigger issue than the engine for a beginner. But yeah, would not recommend it for a beginner.
There is a waterproof bag for the inside

@@wivesonbikes so then all that is needed is a waterproof bag to put innit . I am currently looking at either werkes or patriot fora better sound.

It warms up fast at least in a way you start feeling it. Even in Finnish summer 25 celsius the bike is quite hot be on.
@@wivesonbikes That is only the coolant warming up quickly. The engine oil on such a large capacity engine would take at least 20 minutes, maybe more, to fully warm up. Until then, it is not operating economically.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o not denying any of that. Just to note that the bike was not pleasent to be on due to the heat and well, that size of of engine what can you expect. Just one those things need to decide on whether one wants to live with it or not.
@@wivesonbikes Thanks for your comments. I am going to give it a year to see if this particular 'bike lust' wears off. I have just bought a pristine secondhand Yamaha SCR950 with only 4,200 km showing and also have a 2018 KTM 390 Duke, plus a Yamaha Aerox 155. I live in Thailand most of the year.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o that Yamaha looks like a fun bike🤩
