Triumph Rocket 3 R 2020 Review!

- Опубліковано 3 кві 2020
- The triumph Rocket 3 R has the Largest displacement engine of any production motorcycle!
I had the bike thanks to Destination Triumph for a couple of days but the lock down cut things a little short but I feel I got a handle on the Rocket pretty soon.
Please note this was filmed on the 24th march the morning after the lockdown, The company needed their bike back before they shut up shop. At the time traveling for work was allowed, as it still is now if it is work and can not be done at home. This is my work and thus this was perfectly fine to do. However this is the last time I have ridden other than a couple of shop runs since. Lately I have had to deal with a few idiots who can't understand the concept that a channel like this works a week or two ahead of real time. Thankfully this is my last video filmed on a bike so I wont have to deal with that for a while.
Big thanks to Destination Triumph Solent.

We love u dude
What drift camera is yours
4k don't recommend it.
Would you recommend the Drift XL or the Drift stealth 2
I don't recommend drift at all anymore and I used to work with them. The last great camera they had was the ghost S. For me the new cameras are all just too narrow field of view or the specs are not up to scratch. 1080 60fps is a absolute min these days well and 5 years ago. I get lots of issues with the 4k still and others have quite a few problems with other models from what people are saying. Also the customer service can be pretty bad I know someone who had to do a PayPal claim to get their money back. I'm not saying don't buy one just know that you will have some problems likely and it isn't ideal that's why I say I can't recommend it even tho I use one.
Do I need one? No
Do I want one? Hell, Yes!!!
I currently have a 2019 Speedmaster and a Sinnis Retro Star 125. I absolutely love the Rocket, sadly covid 19 stole my test ride, but when we come out the other side of this i fear the Trumpet Strumpet may be eclipsed as the best bike I've ever ridden. Maybe a mid life crisis, I dont care. Thanks for feeding my Rocket addiction, you and Reno stay safe and well. X
Great cinematic opening Spicy, informative review as always on a fabulous looking bike!
"As a bike that's built to do what it does, it does what it does very well". Lol, love it. Great review! I own a GT, and agree, it is pleasurable to ride, easy to ride, and has an inner beast unlike any other.
When you said "I would love to take this out though the fields", First thing i thought of was green laning this!
well I think you made it alot more clear than anyone else about its sheer torque and power of this beast..very entertaining
Thank you for your videos really looking forward to the next one keep up the great work and stay safe
Awesome bike, i really like but i would lol. Gonna miss seeing you on a bike.. But we must do what we need to do. Keep safe buddy
What a brutally stunning motorcycle
if they ever make a Terminator film set in the UK, this is what Arnie needs
This Triumph is a real beauty, you could say perfect 😀
Would love to know how much torque the nannytronics actually release in perfect conditions.
Brilliant ride mate, well described be safe and well
Thanks man, just keeps going doesn't it.
Great video fantastic bike 🇬🇧👍🏻
You will always get idiots lol . As always a great review and thanks for including information for the shorter leg rider.
Hi Spicy, can you tell me what cameras qnd mic you use please?
It is interesting that you stay in the lower gears while riding/cruising. I tend to get in to a higher gear as soon as I can. What is the reason that you dont shift up? The 3GT is only my 2nd motorcycle, so I still consider myself a new rider. My 1st bike was a 2013 Triumph Thunderbird Storm. Ive done a 5 hr ride already on my 3GT with no problem as far as comfort.
Great review. You might start understanding the Harley Davidsons tourers if you want to ride across country « relaxed »! I would be interested what you think of a 114CUI Fat Bob..
what a beast
Perfect green lane machine
I put a deposit on a GT about 4 weeks ago. It is still sitting in the show room window. Our dealers have been closed now for three weeks and looks like I might not even get it for the month of May. It is starting to drive me crazy. I don’t know if all these videos help or make it worse but I appreciate them. Thank you
Man just thing how good it will feel when you finally get your hands on it! 👍
spicy110
I’m looking forward to it but it’s tough.
By simply adjusting the suspension the bike can be as firm or as soft as you like. There is also adjustment in the pegs. Mine me fits perfectly with a few straightforward tweaks. Great review btw.
Yer I was really limited with time on this one, if I had a but more I could have digged in to settings and adjustments. 🙂
Another comparison, my own old 27y old K1100LT is 100hp and its torque is more than adequate around 80lb-ft - which is half of this thing.
And it's a properly capable tourer!
@@domster200 it pulls like an ox, I would like to see this one!
Its a beast of a bike .
I must be the only person ever to use all six gears when i rode it.. No wonder the fuel economy goes down the drain when you only use 1;st to 3.rd gear :) I found it very nice to cruise at 90 km/h @2000 rpm in sixth.
(Of course it's a blast to open her up in the first three gears as well, but a day of riding (to me anyway) consist of so much more.
Its an amazing bike it rides a lot better than you would think only 34mpg on a motorway at around 70/80 mph
RED BARON 1 my average fuel consumption is 6,5 liters/100 km or 36 mpg ( measured over 800 km or 500 miles)
I have the TFC, and that's definitely a status symbol.. although I don't give a crap what other's think
So after lock down we're getting the rocket green lane video, right?
Antpie94 The world's most powerful single furrow plough!! Some may think it's a bit of a one track pony, but that's 165 ponies!! A lot faster and a lot more fun than a John Deere and a six furrow reversable!!
Looks like someone has melted their boot on the second header lol
13 min: issue are: small tank. could be 5 liter larger by that consumption. tft display is clear and perfectly informative, but i would prefer the same tft system in classic 2-gauge design (one with speed, one with revs and icons, etc. somewhere there) to correspond with the headlights and overall style. heat from exhaust i solved with self-adhesive heat-reflecting foils, which insulate the car body from the exhaust, it helped a lot.
As they say in American racing: "Horsepower sells cars, torque wins motorraces". It's what made the diesel LMP1's so successfull. Watch the drivers of the time talk about the power delivery... they get a mischievous twinkle in their eyes (I actually think it should be illegal for people to have that much fun, but that's another matter).
Wot a bike love it
the rocket 3.... PULLS LIKE A TRAIN BOISSS
Haha I am not making cheesy rocket jokes 🤣
@@spicy110 haha. I couldn't think of any. the car community just loves saying "pulls like a train". this is the only time a bike has fit into that phrase hahahah
Do you still upload moths anymore
Well for me £20,000 is a no no I have seen a few around and suppose for those who are into having the biggest engine like you said it fine I thought the Hayabusa was to bulky this is just enormous .if I had that sort of money to throw around on a bike I would use it to buy couple of different ones .Good review though :) Mal
A substantial bike indeed! The big question is....assuming you could afford it, would you buy one? I certainly would if my legs were a bit longer.
5ft5 here, ordered the Rocket 3 R Black. No regrets whatsoever.
@@buihaianh150589 Aah i see, i may have to re-think it then.
I did talk about that in the video 🙂👍
@@spicy110 Yes when you said you can't see yourself owning one, i assumed that was because you can't see yourself being able to afford one. I got the impression that you quite liked the mix of brutal power and smooth cruising, and it was probably only the money that would stop you owning one. Like every one of us, i am sure that if money was no object, you would probably own half a dozen bikes.
@@stevenhill6214 oh I get you, no for me I really like light bikes with smaller engines, I can appreciate this bike for what it is but my DRZ400SM is my perfect (really isn't perfect haha) bike that flicks my switches and suits my needs.
Really does seem like the kind of bike HM would ride if she rode bikes.
10:48 😂
Keyless would put me off this. It's something waiting to go wrong. And they do.
Wouldn't going across Europe constitute touring? The build quality may be very good and the thought that's gone into it, but will it be reliable? It IS a Triumph.
love shaft drive
They defo have their place I couldn't imagine this bike with a chain.
A comparison with a Vmax would be good but that's not happening any time soon
rrrrRRIDING LEIK THA QUEEEN
i want to hear that bike with a more open exhaust
I think that might be the last thing you ever hear 😉😆
Yeah, we know it's going to be a while, but PLEASE do the GT next, WITH the girlfriend! It would be great to have the FIRST in-depth pillion review, as to how long she can be comfortable back there. Again, same height here, and wouldn't want the bike any shorter/smaller. I bet the GT would be worlds more comfortable for your shoulders and lower back too. Hope we get that comparison when SARS-2 dies down. Stay safe for now (everybody).
Nice review. It's quite a piece of engineering & there's no substitute for CC's. This utterly obliterates anything & everything the supposed cruiser kings Harley & Indian can manage. Makes you proud to be British....or Thai. ; )
Great 12 day old video.... 😉
Am I only only one who doesn't like it?
I appreciate what triumph have done, I just don't like the look of it at all. Saying that I wouldn't mind having a go 😁
i have mixed feeling about it. i think they've done a hell of a job engineering it, getting it to ride as well as it does, and "the elephant in the room" of getting an inline triple of that size to be that balanced and smooth... but i just don't want one
i do wish my cb1000r was geared a bit more like this though
There is a 2900cc rocket 3
10:51 15:12 15:18 16:21 🤣🤣
Cruiser.... really? The R? What defines a “cruiser”? I’d say forward pegs mostly. The R has mid pegs and flat-ish bars, its a muscle street fighter not a cruiser..at all.
I have one... it’s awesome cool review 😎
That's not a term I use but sure if you want to call it that.
@@spicy110 but it’s not a cruiser so it’s a super naked or a street fighter
try and find a review where spicy doesn't say he's 6ft 4 lol
More than 60% of who watch this have never seen one of my videos before. If I don't say it people ask. being in the 1% height percentile means it would be foolish to not mention it. For years people said my adrenaline was a 3/4 size bike because they wouldn't believe I was tall. Lol I would much rather not say it.
@@spicy110 yeah i understand i was just joking lol
@@obvio______3875 that was more generalized reply for anyone reading your comment. You wouldn't believe how much would big subject this seems to be lol
This was a triumph.... I'm not even angry, I'm being so sincere right now... go ahead and leave me - I think I prefer to stay inside...
& I think £20k for a bugatti power level is good value tbh.
There is no harm in going out for a bit of solo riding. the government advice to stay at home is just guidelines, not rules. as long as you practice good social distancing, you are not braking the law, or putting anyone at risk. Dont let the UA-cam police stop you. this lockdown will be going on for months.
Comparison: K1600GT will give you 160hp as well, but only ~120ft-lb.
When did 120 become only.
when the Rocket had more 😆 😉
The Beemer vs the Rocket is a bit apples and oranges though.. I doubt the same guy would love both :)
I have never liked BMW (tbh, i have no real concrete reason except a few friends of min who own BMW say they have a lot of niggling malfunctions, bugs and faults)
@@prospero4183 modern life!
@@Larry_Mott I love both, and I think an engine comparison is fair, they are quite different bikes though, i feel, the 1600 is a proper touring bike, the rocket is definitely a power cruiser, something i probably wouldn't use to tour, but they aren't overly dissimilar.
.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUTSIDE, YOU BASTARD! I'M OUTRAGED! I DON'T CARE IF THERE'S A PERFECTLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR THIS! I JUST WANT TO BE MAD AT SOMETHING!!
AAARRGGGHHGHH 🤣
Also, that's a serious machine. I'm as tall as you though so the ergonomics seem a bit disappointing.
@@PaddyOutback the R, though having higher seat, is actually suitable for shorter riders. I have tried the GT, its seat is so far back that you need much longer legs to sit comfortably.
