Cripes! This one's like one of these monster stationary engines for industrial use. I just wonder what the insurance cost would be to row a trailer c/w bags of cement and building materials. Or fit wings - reminds me of an aero engine like a Spitfire or FW190E. How practical i it really? It may be easy enough to move around but if it fell over you might have to get Mike to hire a mini-JCB to pick up. Maybe a course in weights could help! I'd like to see you riding this. Hopefully you earn enough from the channel for a back tyre!
Hahaha yea, I wouldn't like it to go over!! 😬 I don't think it's a practical bike, but riding round on it, it's clear to me what it is. It's a ridiculous head turner and it attracts everyone at a bike meet to have a chat about it. I have 2 riding vlogs for you, in the second one... there is even an accidental jump, turns out rockets can fly 🚀 🤦♀️
As always, great video. I did take one for a test ride years ago and was surprised at how easy they are to ride slow in parking lots. Then on the road it felt much smaller than it is. Hope you enjoy your time with it.
I had a Yamaha Midnight STar 1700 that was right around 750 Pounds ..SO this one is lighter then that .... Great clip Kate ..Thanks .I hope you are enjoying some of that torque ...:) Here in the USA people talk about a bike like that,that it "Pulls like a freight Train " .. Happy Spring !!!
Hi 👋 Kate that’s not my bike 🏍, definitely, I’m a supernaked guy. But I like it so much. I love its muscle 💪🏽 “vertical”engine, it’s seems a ship 🚢 one. So so cool 😎 I would like to give it a try. Anyway, spring is coming,and motorbikes are awaking from their winter rest. Battery 🔋 charged, tires inflated, chain nice and lubricated . We’re ready for warm and fun journeys.
Depends on a multitude of factors. Location, age, rate of thefts of that particular bike in your particular area. I think for a 30 year old, it's pretty good!
One of my favourite bikes was a new 1969 Triumph Tiger 650, my first big bike, and it was glorious. A lot of miles on both street and highway riding were very comfortable and trouble free, and the Rocket Three looks like I want one!
Really like how you setup your reviews Kate… Here’s a thought on how to make your channel grow: maybe add a ‘Kate score’ when you test bikes and give a verdict… Like Doug de Muro… the guys got millions of subscribers, part of that due to that ‘Doug score’ thing I think…. Haven’t seen any bike reviewers do it yet, so… ☺️
What a beast, Triumph really are knocking out lovely bikes, as you know I have a new Tiger 900 GT Pro just about going in for its first service, happy as larry:-) Loving the hair:-)
Hi Kate great review, awesome looking bike. I saw one in the Triumph dealer the other day. I was too scared to go near it😂. After watching you sit on it and move it around. Gave me a confidence boost. I will go sit on it next time I'm there. I'm 5'7in so should be fine... I had hoped you would fire it up so we could hear it. I found a video with stock and after market sounds. That triple sounds awesome just with stock. Anyway look forward to your next vid. Cheers R
I like your videos and wish you luck in your new full time youtube life I did like the bike it looks so tuff when you tell us how much the bikes are I understand your in the UK but could you tell us views in the US what the American cost. Looking forward to the next video.
Really enjoyed your walk around the mammoth Rocket 3s. I heard you say, I think that you rode it their I would have loved to have seen that footage also. Thank you.
Yep, I’ll have one of those in black with added black and anything that’s not black, spec’d in black. Maaaan what a beast… £20k is a real chunk of money but for what you get… great work as always Kate and hopefully cross paths over the summer 👍👍👍
Oooooh suits you Kate 👍😁 That's a lovely looking machine....still not sure on the way Triumph design their front ends, but it does suit you.👍 Looking forward to see what you think of it.
Ooooo yes. Not a very useful bike imo 😂 but what a weekend blast this could be 💥 torque, torque, torque all day long. This is actually on my shortlist to drive one day! Very very awesome you got this beast on your channel. Truly unique bike i think! Great stuff Kate!
Always a pleasure to watch one of you're latest videos. Had the pleasure of the Rocket 3 black and I total agree with you an absolute beast. Great info appreciate the heads up on ownership costs. Never thought about tyre cost aswell as insurance. Looking forward to you're 1st ride review Kate. Thank you for the fab info and insights to owning such a bike 👍🎉👌👌👌
I thought my bike had a bit of torque, this has 32ftlb more then mine 😭😭😭, should i go for a 2-1 and increase the torque........ nah I'll need the money for the petrol.
Of all things I wanted to see you do, testing this was it! I met a guy in 2012 when I toured Italy and took in the Mugello GP who called his first model Rocket 3 the B@$t*rd , because of its bad" table manners" on forecourts etc. I wondered whether you would handle it with skill and then thought is The Pope a Catholic!
Kate I like to see the walk around and the road review together that's how other vloggers are putting there video's together maybe do the road review on a different day and make it as one video before you upload it watching the missioned flyer might help you out
Have to agree, feel a bit short changed waiting for kate to hop on bike and hear it roar. Maybe im getting too impatient in my old age but i doubt im the only one. Content is great, but maybe give it a little tickle at the end kate, maybe a 30 second start up and short ride which leads into your next vid? Its your content of course, please take this as constructive, i will continue to be a big UNK fanboy.
@@chrisnightingale6417 you don't have to watch these ones if you don't want to, I'm not saying that in an uppity way incase lack of tone is misconstrued. There are lots of people that like specification stuff, height references and pushing bikes etcs. I am enjoying these type of structures to my youtubing. Walkround then first impressions then riding some more. I'm putting 2 videos out a week so if you see walkround in the title, you know it's not for you, but a riding vlog i assure you will be round the corner! 😊 thanks for feedback though 👍
Great vid Kate, looking forward to ur ride thoughts. Gr8 bike, no doubt it's prob an improvement over the 2300 which l had a ride on, and that was pretty dam good. Handled and went well l thought. 🙂
@@lozblessed8609 its crazy, because it is classed as a 'cruiser' and falls into that category, in the UK, it's cheaper to insure then you would expect! 😁
Beast of a bike for sure, and those exhaust headers are just amazing! I suspect you'll see a little heat on your right leg from those, haha. The insurance quotes you are giving; are they for a year, or 6 months?
What a change from the industrial location. Watched on the phone earlier so commenting now. Will enjoy your ride commentary as soon as it goes up. Take care and enjoy that beast while you can.
Beautiful looking beast of a bike. We Need the video of you riding the thing now!! Really enjoying your channel, cheers for all the hard work Regards Richard 👍
So ....where to start, where to start. I will say that first - you could never look like a boy. :) I don't think you mentioned the displacement of the engine? Is it 1800cc, 2400cc, etc? You mentioned the torque and HP a few times but not how large the engine is (or did I miss that?). I had to laugh when just seconds after saying let's be a professional you started grooving when a vehicle rode by playing music loud. LOL :) Oh, nice singing voice ...."we got a family coming out". ;)
Stunning girl, bike and review. I have been considering this bike past few years. Perhaps i might get it and the same color.
Lovely bike, need to borrow one again as love em 🤩
We should get a pair and go ripping it up! 🤣💪

I bought on here in NZ . LOVE THE BIKE. My gt has R pegs and I flipped the mirrors over. Great video.
Bet that set up would be most suitable for me too! 😊
two of my mates have just got these and are having a catch up tomorrow, can't wait to compare comments
So jealous of them!! 😬
Super video Kate love that triumph rocket fantastic bike 👍💙
Thanks Andrew!! Means a lot!
Great review Kate, having a test ride on the T, Rocket in April, Thanks..
Oh Les, leave your wallet at home 🤣
As always, great video. I did take one for a test ride years ago and was surprised at how easy they are to ride slow in parking lots. Then on the road it felt much smaller than it is. Hope you enjoy your time with it.
Loved my time with it. So sad it went back today 😢
Great looking bike and really informative walkaround, but how tempted at the end were you to shout get out of the fekking door i'm filming ha!
Haha well I will choose a busy shop front wont i! LOL noooo, my disgust face is not at the people but at the COLD. It was baltic.
Lol, 43,000 in two years on my GT.
Great video, hell of a bike! 👍🏴
Thanks Dylan!
Back tire lasts less than 10k miles lol. 17.5k miles on mine and about to have my third rear tire.
Eeeek!
Cheers for the video. I am looking at one of these. They are a beautiful looking machine.
Riding vlog shortly!
That bike is pure filth. Completely obscene.

So much fun Nigel! Sad to see it go back today!
Thanks Kate great review on the Rocket 🚀 always great having you around the shop 💖👍🏼
Love visiting you guys! Can't wait to come back soon! ❤
Am sure its amazing but doesnt grab me as much as say the Bonneville or Tiger 1200. Those two are dream bikes!
P.s That insurance quote is amazing.

Man, I want it.. I know I would defo do 10k or more in a year on that thing.. I am already at 8k on my Africa and I have had it 7 months
Badass!!

I have 2 riding vlogs to follow 😊 trying for 2 vlogs a week so it'll come round quick enough 😊
Looking happy and healthy Kate. Nice video work and personality on lens. A real pro now , this channel can only keep getting bigger.
Thank you so much! 😊

Hey HeadRace! I'm sure we will cross paths! Motorcycling world is deceptively small. And yessss, all blacked out! 💪
Only like spending £7000 in 1989 on a bike.
The insurance is almost the same as my Yamaha mt09 tracer 2015 and version. Bonkers.
👍
Oooooh suits you Kate 👍😁
That's a lovely looking machine....still not sure on the way Triumph design their front ends, but it does suit you.👍
Looking forward to see what you think of it.
Haha cheers Dean! 🍻
Thats one great looking bike but one hell of a beast of a bike, weight n cost to match, great vlog 🏍👍
Ooooh yes !
a beautiful bike but too heavy for me and a bit expensive but it's fantastic ok 👌👍 Kate
I never thought I'd see your face! Loving your videos!
Super duper Kate 👍🏻, also love the outro.
Glad you enjoyed it John! 😊
NICE walkaround ;)
There we go! Haha! Don't worry, riding vlogs are coming. Take care bud! 👍
To The Bone! Love the new style and yeah "Absolute Beast" for sure! Well said and thanks! :-)
It's a nice looking bike, but not my kind of machine. I do love the paint colours.
Interesting and cool bike 👍
Certainly a head turner!
This bike is what happens when you put a car engine on a motorcycle.
Amazing bike and I very much enjoyed your review.
Wanna see you ride it
And you will! I've filmed two riding vlogs... there's even an accidental jump in there 🤣 don't ask
@@UsernameKate love it
Did you get a brew and biscuits ?
Of course I did haha!
Ooooo yes. Not a very useful bike imo 😂 but what a weekend blast this could be 💥 torque, torque, torque all day long. This is actually on my shortlist to drive one day! Very very awesome you got this beast on your channel. Truly unique bike i think! Great stuff Kate!
I agree! If you are slightly introverted and wish to socialise more, get one of these and the people will flock 🤣😅
@@UsernameKate Hahaha I am introverted and I ride motorcycle to get away from people. I do not wish to socialize with anyone, too many fake people :)
£396 only for insurance. I can't get my £13000 Tiger 900 insured for that and I'm a 75 year old with max no claims. Hmmm!!
Yup! Almost picked up the phone to the Triumph dealer until I remembered it's not just £396... it's £396 + £20,800 🤣🤦♀️
I’ve never seen the Rocket look so massive
🤣🤣🤣
Always a pleasure to watch one of you're latest videos. Had the pleasure of the Rocket 3 black and I total agree with you an absolute beast.
Great info appreciate the heads up on ownership costs. Never thought about tyre cost aswell as insurance.
Looking forward to you're 1st ride review Kate. Thank you for the fab info and insights to owning such a bike 👍🎉👌👌👌
Ooooh the Rocket 3 R Black is my favouriteeeee, so badass!
It's an absolute stunner. 💋👍🎉
Why do I get the feeling that the soft swing arm is not a good idea for that much torque?
I thought my bike had a bit of torque, this has 32ftlb more then mine 😭😭😭, should i go for a 2-1 and increase the torque........ nah I'll need the money for the petrol.
Will only increase the torque at higher rpm . Less useful that way. Torque is always best low down.
Really like that bike
It's a brute
That was a big guinea pig
Huge beast haha
Excellent work, Kate. What a beast this bike is! Another shout for BikeSure, they helped me out massively after the MCE debacle 👍
Aw glad they could pick up the pieces 😊 thanks for the kind words too!
Very nice, it's my dream. Love from India ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ happy holi 🙏 namaste

Thanks Rev Bomb, means a lot. And yes, amazing thing, it got picked up today and I shed a tear 🥲
Great review Kate 😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍
Looking fw to your vid testriding it!!
Enjoyed that. Sound was perfect. Keep it going. Serious bike.
Yay! Trying to learn from the past errors with the audio! 😊
Look at that... Perfect evenings entertainment 👍
Interesting. This bike always seemed intimidating to me, u pushed it around with little effort. Cool haha. 💪🏽💪🏽
Enjoyable review 😎 Love the rocket engine, but my riding style suits my speed twin.
Thank you Dave! 😊
Great review on a wankers bike. Love you Kate
A wankers bike! 🤣 what do you mean John? 🤣 crack me up
It's a one trick pony ! Straight line performance, great if you are crossing the Nullarbor planes. But you really don't need that sort torque
I also love Mike to ! I'm not a pervert 😀
Great review Kate thanks 👍
God, that bike is so ugly.
If it transformers into a car I would say the Dodge Viper...
🤣 I can see it!
Picked up my new to me gs from youles today & very nearly called in at mc hub, thats a beast for sure keep up the good work 😀
Oh wow! Are you enjoying it? You know my feelings about the mighty GS 💪
Great review. Nice detail. Good stats on insurance etc. liked the outtakes at the end too. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

20 grand.....
£20800 to be a little more precise 😊
