Great video! Thanks! As R3 R Storm owner, 0-100 test could have been 1) make sure you have premium fuel in tank, set to Sport mode (traction control on, but some slip) lean forward, tuck head down to bars, hold bars tight, squeeze gas tank tight with inner thighs, 2) At stop rev to 3,000 or so rpm 3) release clutch and immediate full throttle 4) go right to redline 5) shift to 2nd 6) done 0-60 in 2.5 second range.
@BarryMDHo cheers mate ! Yeah it's Definitely harder and more daunting not being used to the bike yet and also if something goes wrong I have to replace it and decant afford it haha ! So i do need to not go as hard as id like. Google told me the world record for this bike is 2.73 which is bloody fast. Tell them you beat it !!!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
You can get closer to 2 seconds if you go past redline. Peak tq at 4000rpm and peak HP at 7200rpm. You can get to 70mph in first gear and around 90mph in 2nd, I have on my GT. Shift at 7300pm. it cuts out at around 7500rpm.
Your critiques: Spot on. It gets hot hot when sitting in traffic. My right leg and foot get super hot. On the highway it's not an issue cuz the wind blows the heat away. The seat gets hot too, even on the highway. I use 3 fingers for clutch and brake and I grab the grip on the inside. The gas cap is jankie. It works ok, but it needs to be better. The turn signals: I think they are on a timer and the time is too short. I have to hit the signal again sometimes to keep it on if I have to wait a long time to turn. My harley had auto cancel, but they worked great and were not time based. I hadn't thought about the steering lock. It wants to go: yes. It LITERALLY idles in first at 12mph and it has the torque to keep going without any throttle. Good reveiw. Even with the negatives, I ride every day and I am super satified with my bike.
Cheers mate, glad I nailed the review! Good to hear someone else perspective aswell, especially from someone who owns one. Absolutely loved it aswell even with the negatives but I didn't see them as too major. Thanks for watching 🤙
A good review overall. I got my new 2023 GT this summer after 12 years on 2 Rocket 3 tourings as well as other bikes. 77 years old and I love the bike. It just absolutely does everything well with goobs of performance. It just glides down the road is the best way to describe it. You'll never truely appreciate it until you own one. Triumph hit this bike out of the park on what they did with it. I never notice the heat from the 3 exhausts, you can turn off the automatic blinker shut off in the settings. My only complaint is... they restricted the maximum RPM's in 6th gear. Maybe because of the speed rating of the tires. Never declaw an animal...and it is!
Wow that's bloody awesome mate, thanks for the feedback. I'd definitely learn alot more about the bike if I owned one or was able to ride it for a few days. In the short time I was on it the bike felt insane !!! The power is next level and the bike feels like it owns the road ! Oh wow there you go... I learn something new every day. Abit of a shame they restricted it. Thanks for watching 🤙
Yep. Some bikes have this automatic indicator off system..... It's called your thumb. "I'm not an idiot". Good call 😂 Great review. Rocket lives up to its name I see.
Hahaha even my fatbob has that crap and it does my head in mate 🤣 too much tech these days just let us think and do stuff ourselves haha Cheers mate, definitely does !! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Oh awesome mate, love the kawasakis aswell. This for sure is an absolute weapon, definitely suited coming from an eliminator. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
My '22 Speed Triple has a setting for auto cancel on, or off. It also has the feature where it will give 3 flashes or hold the switch for a second and it will stay on, until it self-cancels. There is also a sweet spot on the bike to hold the fob if the fob battery is dead. I usually quick-start it and am down the street and that SLOW ass TFT is still booting up.
Oh wow thanks for sharing all of that mate very good to know, I couldn't seem to find any of that information online 😅 that's bloody awesome ! Technology is so smart these days it's crazy. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Nice one mate. As a late comer to motorcycles I am eying this one up for a forever bike. Looks the business and with werkes exhaust will sound amazing! Thanks for your characterful review. Sunstate and Sunshine Coast is my manor too 😉
Cheers mate, oh that's awesome mate. Well I think it's a bloody good choice as a forever bike. Has everything you need and nothing you don't. Thanks for watching 🤙 Gods country !!!! Haha
@@Gnarly_Harley Exactly!! I'm an ex Pom (35 yrs ago) so can definitely confirm that Sunny Coast is Gods Country LOL! Hope to see you on the road at some stage! Ride safe!
The best bike I've ever owned of the 30 I have owned! The turn signal can be adjusted to be fully manual through the settings! You should have researched it a bit more.
Definitely a unique bike that's for sure mate. I was informed that, pretty cool you can do that ! But still as I said in the video personally shouldn't have it at all... each to their own though. I did say in the video a couple of times I've probably missed things but I'm not perfect I always will miss things. Sorry about that mate... Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙
Another awesome video Matt!!! The Triumph Rocket 3 GT is a beast of a motorbike! Love the HP and the torque on this motorbike! The sound is not bad either! I always enjoy your zero to 60 or 100 tests. This Rocket 3 lives up to its name for sure! I also like the twin headlights. Single sided swingarm and shaft drive... low Maintenace and easy tire changes. I can tell you enjoyed riding this motorbike for sure! Keep up the wonderful job you do making these videos for us! Hope your back feels better soon! John...
Thanks John!!!! Bloody oath it is haha wild machine man. Yeah good point John be very easy to change that tyre. Love anything with 2 wheels really 😅 was great fun. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I agree with you on the self cancelling indicators. Hey if possible I'd like to see a review on the Yamaha MT10 like to see if you think it's as mental as the rocket 3gt. Keep up the good work
They really piss me off hey ! Haha oh wow mt10 friggen wheelie machine 🤣 I've ridden a tracer and the front wheel wouldn't stay down I imagine its even worse 🤣 I'll see how I go mate. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Great looking bike. It certainly looked rapid through the twisties. Good review. I watched it twice back-to-back. Cheers. I wouldn't own one - too much power - too much insurance - too much tyres. And I'm a wimp nowadays!
Definitely looks cool doesn't it ! It did way better than I expected especially with that fat rear tyre haha. Very good points mate. Agreed. Hahaha same 🤣 Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Went past the Triumphs dealer today, was going to look but was hungry for lunch .. You know they built a new Police Station just up the road .. On Roys Road, towards Baringa
Pop in and check them out next time for sure, say you're there because of me 😉😅 they will love it haha. Oh really what the heck... that was bloody quick ! Getting crazy around there now far out, so many people. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Thanks heaps Tim, it's bloody cool to be able to try out all these different bikes ! Was definitely a beast, really shocked me ! 🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Another good video mate. I mate of mine. has got a Rocket absolutely insane rode it once not really my cuppa tea but you can’t argue about the horsepower and the heat factor from the exhaust. Yeah big time on another note. I’ve gotta agree with you with the self cancelling Indicators my heritage has them and it pisses me off in roundabouts as you say. I have been abused that many times. I’ll be trying to figure out how to piss him off so I can control myself until next time. Keep up the good work mate. I always look forward to your next vid
Cheers Greg, haha that's awesome, bloody crazy things are they... the amount of times I seen the traction control kick in it would be scary with it off. Agree not for me either mate. Same with my fatbob, it makes me want to headbutt someone 🤣🤣🤣🤣 causes people to road rage as you said and also close calls. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Sweet looking bike! Definitely let's ya know it's gonna be a beast before you get on it! The hidden passenger pegs, as you said, is simple, but, badass. I'm in agreement with the auto blinker turn off, and also had a few close call rear enders due to that. Good review, and was hilarious when you ripped into it and started laughing. Having fun doing what ya love!! "HOLY DEMON" need to be on a GNARLY HARLEY shirt!!!
Bloody tuff looking isn't it mate, kinda like a rhino or something haha. It's always the little things that make stuff cool. Don't get me started !!! I honestly hate it 🤬😡 just unnecessary Cheers mate, hahaha it Definitely made me smile, very fast bike ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Cheers mate. Haha it's definitely unique I had to youtube a few with exhausts when i got home. They sound gnarly ! Lol yeah if only. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hey Matt, if you get one of those, you'll have to get a Tee Shirt "FREEMATT" LOL How good is the motorcycle industry, there's a bike tailored for any individual taste and requirement. It's actually weird riding other bikes after you've done the Harley's for a while. Harley's are so raw and are like a hot rod on 2 wheels compared to the really refined stuff from Japan and Europe.. anyway, love your vids bro, safe travels mate look forward to the next one. Cheers bro.. 👊😎👊
Hahaha felt very free riding the rocket. Catch me if you can 🤣🤣 that's the beauty of the motorcycle world, So many options. Haha very true! Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I got my deposit down in Nov 2003. Did 32K miles, as someone weighing 120 Kg plus it was the perfect option. Personally if I was buying a new one, I would get the shorter pegs and higher ride hight. The bugger always wanted to turn, but I kept on grounding the pipes.
That's awesome mate, thanks for the feedback. Definitely a cool and unique bike that's for sure. Haha I didn't expect to hit the peg... when I did I was abit confused 😅 so I agree with going higher for sure. I guess it's still a cruiser haha but it handled like a sporty. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley I bought mine from Flitwick motorcycles. They had a close relationship with Triumph at the time and were having the pre production bikes in daily. According to the engineers they used sports bike dimensions scaled up. Hence the great handling, The dry sump, helping to keep the centre of gravity low. Yep they pegs and joy bubbles were service items.
@@Gnarly_HarleyTo be fair it's too much bike for me too, I'd kill myself with that much power on the roads - still, it's a stunning motorcycle that's for sure !!
@@Gnarly_HarleyI had an 80 model cb900 custom stripped of it's fairing into a naked bike. It had the driveshaft and reacted as you described on throttle. Was a nice old bike, had the hi/low shifter on it. Didn't go very fast but was a nice cruiser. Brings back memories😂
Cheers mate really appreciate that. I should try and find some even better scenery for you then mate, like my travel vlogs haha. The desert !? Where are you from mate ?
The Rocket is made of proper chinesium. Wait till you get tarnishes on all the brushed alloy. And even on the ABS-ring, EVERY SINGLE steel screw and the cap for the swingarm cover/screw. That really pisses me off on such an expensive bike. However, the Rocket 3 is the greatest MOTORcycle ever created. I love mine dearly, it steals the heart of every biker and every (biker)chick out there. Even the cagers admire it and some almost fall out of their car looking. Living in Switzerland, riding passes is so much fun, usually I get sport- and nakedbike riders to waive me past them. My "cobra" is usually worn down to the last centimeter after a week or two of installing a new tyre. That's where the hard limits of the bike sets in. Although I've met a guy whose footpegs are worn to half the length and he's on the second or already third exhaust with 100k's on his TFC, everyone's hard limits may be different. I've sold my 2021 R1 for a Rocket. I'll be 50 this year, and I'm a much happier person now. Once you rode a Rocket, I promise you will never forget it. About to do some mods and hoping to get about 185Hp on the wheel from it. It spoiled every other motorcycle for me.
I was shocked when I see the corrosion on alot of the parts on a demo bike with minimal kms on it... buy as you said bloody amazing bike apart from that. Wow mate that's a huge testimate selling the r1 for a rocket. Triumph definitely nailed it with this one didn't they. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Just a tip about the corrosion. Mine is been outside for most of the time. I have not seen any corrosion yet. I'd ask my dealer , he said to steer clear of aggressive soaps. The place I goto clean my bike has soaps that are aluminum friendly , this prevents those spots. If you use soaps with are more acidic then can tarnish the brushes aluminium and steel bolts.
I think if I was to own a Rocket 3 it would be bad news for me on speeding tickets lol. Love to test rider one though. I so enjoyed that slide test haha. Might have to do another one, just faster & longer haha I just need some new motorcycle boots. Keep up the great vlogs!!
Hahaha another reason I forgot to mention... I wouldn't have a lisence within the first week 🤣 Lol I think you enjoyed the slide test abit too much mate 🤣🤣 cheers mate and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Yeah true that would be cool, I think the engine on them looks ridiculous. Weird isn't it... can get them from 15-20k !! Bloody bargain unless they are lemons ?
Cheers Darren, bloody cool bike to ride that's for sure. I think I need to shorten my reviews they seem to be getting longer ? Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@BeanieBoyMoto how good, an absolute weapon isn't it mate. Yeah I've been a few times when I was abit younger just haven't filmed it, untill this week 😉
I'm trying to slow down on my home theatre ATMOS upgrade project. 11 all new Klispch speakers and 4 subs. I'm trying to put it on the back burner for now and forget about it. $$$$ that I don't 'need' to spend. What do I see over your shoulder while sitting on the bike in the parking lot? A great big D E N O N sign - that is the final step.
I goal some day is to have a home theatre as I really love watching movies ! 😅 that is true, I imagine it's very expensive. I'm trying to hold off on buying new suspension as I don't technically need it just really want it 🤣 everything wants our $$$ The final step !? Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Gnarly, or anyone else, if you had your choice between the Rocket 3R/GT and the suzuki hayabusa which one would you choose as your daily rider and everyday riding bike? Also, Gnarly, when you rode that bike what was the maximum speedometer number that you saw on the bike?
Sorry mate I didn't realise I didn't reply ! My old boys has had 3 hayabusas I might have to get him to ride the trumpy. But as it being a sport bike and the Triumph more of a cruiser I'd say it would Definitely be more comfortable for bigger kms. The gt model has the forward controls too. Also I cannot comment on the last part 😂 Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley Gnarly, the only thing I would be afraid of is always scraping the pegs on the 3R model when turning corners. If there was a way to raise the pegs an inch that would probably solve that issue...
@markettradinggenius that's a fair point I have seen people commenting that was a common issue. Probably have to get abit higher suspension to fix the issue unfortunately. Dad really loves the hayabusas!!
@@Gnarly_Harley I didn't think about the higher suspension. Now that you said it, the suspension could be raised 1" - 2" and that would do the trick !!
Mate I knew you would love it 😊 they have an older 2.3 ltr rocket 3 touring at that dealers be good to see what you think in comparison as I'll be looking at that one myself when I get over there bud , 👍
Haha cheers for the recommendation! Bloody wild bike that's for sure. Very unique I'd say. I did see that sitting there actually thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I could hear you clearly, until you put your helmet on. The volume dropped at least 50% I always wanted a BSA Rocket lll What is the lean angle? I think it would look better with a fairing like the Speed Triple
Yeah sorry about that mate. Every mic I've tried is crap ! 2 more have just arrived to try... hopefully one of these are decent. I couldn't seem to find the lean angle on the Triumph website unfortunately. It actually would haha good call on that. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I'll be heading out to blackbutt tomorrow sorry mate, I'll be at the father's day event I believe and also the bike night next month if you're still around ! Hahaha do not bring a steak and kidney pie please 🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I have read that mate and a few people have also told me the same thing. But 😅 I still think it's a useless feature (in my opinion) and should be left up to the rider. But we'll done to them for having it so you can change it to manual or auto. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@Gnarly_Harley it's partyl true :) It's only capt in the first 2 or 3 gears. You saw how fast the TC wakes up, imagine having all the power all the time. The TC would be working overtime.
@@Gnarly_Harley in Texas, USA the Rocket 3 runs about $24K new. I purchased mine sightly used for $16K. However, there are not many dealers in my area. Plano, Texas has European Cycles and I purchased my Rocket on consignment. Does not have a scratch on it.
Loving my 25 GT. Exhaust on the way!
Such weapons mate that's for sure ! That's going to sound killer dude 🤙👌

As R3 R Storm owner, 0-100 test could have been
1) make sure you have premium fuel in tank, set to Sport mode (traction control on, but some slip) lean forward, tuck head down to bars, hold bars tight, squeeze gas tank tight with inner thighs,
2) At stop rev to 3,000 or so rpm

Hahaha felt very free riding the rocket. Catch me if you can 🤣🤣 that's the beauty of the motorcycle world, So many options. Haha very true! Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Awesome videos mate keep it up 👍🏻
Cheers mate I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I got my deposit down in Nov 2003. Did 32K miles, as someone weighing 120 Kg plus it was the perfect option.
Personally if I was buying a new one, I would get the shorter pegs and higher ride hight.
The bugger always wanted to turn, but I kept on grounding the pipes.
That's awesome mate, thanks for the feedback. Definitely a cool and unique bike that's for sure.
Haha I didn't expect to hit the peg... when I did I was abit confused 😅 so I agree with going higher for sure. I guess it's still a cruiser haha but it handled like a sporty. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley I bought mine from Flitwick motorcycles. They had a close relationship with Triumph at the time and were having the pre production bikes in daily.
According to the engineers they used sports bike dimensions scaled up.
Hence the great handling, The dry sump, helping to keep the centre of gravity low.
Yep they pegs and joy bubbles were service items.
@andrewfrancis3591 that's bloody awesome, good to know thanks for sharing
The best from both worlds! 👍
Definitely mate, absolutely crazy machine haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Mate, its even got part of the Aussie flag on its tank, its meant to be yours!! 😉
Hahaha yeah idk about that mate !!! Too much bike for me 😉 or maybe it's just the price tag lol. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_HarleyTo be fair it's too much bike for me too, I'd kill myself with that much power on the roads - still, it's a stunning motorcycle that's for sure !!
It's a great ride good video start riding on the back wheel Gnarly
Thanks heaps mate, really appreciate it. Would love to learn ! Maybe I should hit up farrows to teach me 😅🤣

I like it, would like to test ride one
Definitely go jump on one !!! You'll have a ball haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_HarleyI had an 80 model cb900 custom stripped of it's fairing into a naked bike. It had the driveshaft and reacted as you described on throttle. Was a nice old bike, had the hi/low shifter on it. Didn't go very fast but was a nice cruiser. Brings back memories😂
Imagine this Bike!
Bloody weapon!!! Some serious horses that's for sure. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Another excellent review, BTW. The scenery really adds to the experience for this desert rat.
Cheers mate really appreciate that. I should try and find some even better scenery for you then mate, like my travel vlogs haha. The desert !? Where are you from mate ?
@@Gnarly_Harley Lake Havasu City, Arizona
The Rocket is made of proper chinesium. Wait till you get tarnishes on all the brushed alloy. And even on the ABS-ring, EVERY SINGLE steel screw and the cap for the swingarm cover/screw. That really pisses me off on such an expensive bike. However, the Rocket 3 is the greatest MOTORcycle ever created. I love mine dearly, it steals the heart of every biker and every (biker)chick out there. Even the cagers admire it and some almost fall out of their car looking.
Living in Switzerland, riding passes is so much fun, usually I get sport- and nakedbike riders to waive me past them. My "cobra" is usually worn down to the last centimeter after a week or two of installing a new tyre. That's where the hard limits of the bike sets in. Although I've met a guy whose footpegs are worn to half the length and he's on the second or already third exhaust with 100k's on his TFC, everyone's hard limits may be different.
I've sold my 2021 R1 for a Rocket. I'll be 50 this year, and I'm a much happier person now. Once you rode a Rocket, I promise you will never forget it. About to do some mods and hoping to get about 185Hp on the wheel from it. It spoiled every other motorcycle for me.
I was shocked when I see the corrosion on alot of the parts on a demo bike with minimal kms on it... buy as you said bloody amazing bike apart from that.
Wow mate that's a huge testimate selling the r1 for a rocket. Triumph definitely nailed it with this one didn't they. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Just a tip about the corrosion.
Mine is been outside for most of the time. I have not seen any corrosion yet.
I'd ask my dealer , he said to steer clear of aggressive soaps.
The place I goto clean my bike has soaps that are aluminum friendly , this prevents those spots.
If you use soaps with are more acidic then can tarnish the brushes aluminium and steel bolts.
Great looking bike , how is that Goldwing Test ride Going ?
Haha mate it's actually hard to find one noone around here stocks them ! I'll still keep asking around. Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙
I think if I was to own a Rocket 3 it would be bad news for me on speeding tickets lol. Love to test rider one though. I so enjoyed that slide test haha. Might have to do another one, just faster & longer haha I just need some new motorcycle boots. Keep up the great vlogs!!
Hahaha another reason I forgot to mention... I wouldn't have a lisence within the first week 🤣
Lol I think you enjoyed the slide test abit too much mate 🤣🤣 cheers mate and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
BMW R18 cruisers review would be interesting and why are they so cheap 2nd hand?
Yeah true that would be cool, I think the engine on them looks ridiculous. Weird isn't it... can get them from 15-20k !! Bloody bargain unless they are lemons ?
Just found your channel.. awesome review! Wish I could afford one tho'.. 😥
Cheers mate I appreciate that. I know right... bloody new bikes are so damn expensive. I do love my old girl though. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Great vlog
Cheers Darren, bloody cool bike to ride that's for sure. I think I need to shorten my reviews they seem to be getting longer ? Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Gotta love the Rocket Matt ... Have you checked out Gardners Falls @ Maleny yet mate?
@BeanieBoyMoto how good, an absolute weapon isn't it mate. Yeah I've been a few times when I was abit younger just haven't filmed it, untill this week 😉

I'm trying to slow down on my home theatre ATMOS upgrade project. 11 all new Klispch speakers and 4 subs. I'm trying to put it on the back burner for now and forget about it. $$$$ that I don't 'need' to spend.
What do I see over your shoulder while sitting on the bike in the parking lot?
A great big D E N O N sign - that is the final step.
I goal some day is to have a home theatre as I really love watching movies ! 😅 that is true, I imagine it's very expensive. I'm trying to hold off on buying new suspension as I don't technically need it just really want it 🤣 everything wants our $$$
The final step !?
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I could imagine how much more it would cost in OZ, if it's like bikes.
@SmittyAZ yeah it sucks mate.
@@Gnarly_Harley The final step is a Denon receiver.
That bike would likely stand up rather than break loose as the rear tire looks like it should be on a Corvette
Haha well that traction light came on heaps so who knows. Definitely looks like a car tyre doesn't it 🤣
Gnarly, or anyone else, if you had your choice between the Rocket 3R/GT and the suzuki hayabusa which one would you choose as your daily rider and everyday riding bike? Also, Gnarly, when you rode that bike what was the maximum speedometer number that you saw on the bike?
Sorry mate I didn't realise I didn't reply !
My old boys has had 3 hayabusas I might have to get him to ride the trumpy. But as it being a sport bike and the Triumph more of a cruiser I'd say it would Definitely be more comfortable for bigger kms. The gt model has the forward controls too.
Also I cannot comment on the last part 😂
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley Gnarly, the only thing I would be afraid of is always scraping the pegs on the 3R model when turning corners. If there was a way to raise the pegs an inch that would probably solve that issue...
@markettradinggenius that's a fair point I have seen people commenting that was a common issue. Probably have to get abit higher suspension to fix the issue unfortunately. Dad really loves the hayabusas!!
@@Gnarly_Harley I didn't think about the higher suspension. Now that you said it, the suspension could be raised 1" - 2" and that would do the trick !!
Mate I knew you would love it 😊 they have an older 2.3 ltr rocket 3 touring at that dealers be good to see what you think in comparison as I'll be looking at that one myself when I get over there bud , 👍
Haha cheers for the recommendation! Bloody wild bike that's for sure. Very unique I'd say. I did see that sitting there actually thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Heat❗
Yeah it did get abit hot on the legs when I was stopped. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Better not let the clutch slip out of the finger 😂
I'd bloody flip the thing 🤣🤣 the traction control kicked in at 105.... would probably just blow the rear tyre off 🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley haha 🤙
I could hear you clearly, until you put your helmet on. The volume dropped at least 50%
I always wanted a BSA Rocket lll
What is the lean angle? I think it would look better with a fairing like the Speed Triple
Yeah sorry about that mate. Every mic I've tried is crap ! 2 more have just arrived to try... hopefully one of these are decent. I couldn't seem to find the lean angle on the Triumph website unfortunately. It actually would haha good call on that. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Cheers mate, thanks for watching
Hay mate do a meet and greet tomorrow morning at Sunshine Coast have come from Sa be cool to catch up with you I will bring the stake and kidney pie
I'll be heading out to blackbutt tomorrow sorry mate, I'll be at the father's day event I believe and also the bike night next month if you're still around ! Hahaha do not bring a steak and kidney pie please 🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I love my Rocket, on my steak. That’s about all I get.
Wait what !?!?!?! 😅🤣

@@Gnarly_Harley nope it's not
The Boss Hosss 502 has that beat with both legs on fire. An 8.2L engine heats up nice in Texas. Had 2 of them.

Great machine !!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
You can turn off the auto off indicators in the menu.
I have read that mate and a few people have also told me the same thing. But 😅 I still think it's a useless feature (in my opinion) and should be left up to the rider. But we'll done to them for having it so you can change it to manual or auto. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Would be cool if it was red 🤣
But serious love the review decent bike like yours more 😁

I've just gone from a Fat Boy to the new GT - my 30yr Harley days are well and truly done. Overnight. This bike is the nuts
It’s actually restricted to only give just over 60% of power it has 😬😬😬
What !?!?! I swear someone else told me that but I couldn't find the proof. That's good to know wow !!! What an animal.
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
That is only true in the first 2 gears. Otherwise the TC would be working overtime.
@Gnarly_Harley it's partyl true :)
It's only capt in the first 2 or 3 gears.
You saw how fast the TC wakes up, imagine having all the power all the time. The TC would be working overtime.
@EleaRevils oh wow cheers mate. Totally makes sense now looking back on it. The tech in them is super smart the power delivery was as smooth as butter
Nice bike but $40k 😮
Yeah abit bloody pricey isn't it !!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley in Texas, USA the Rocket 3 runs about $24K new. I purchased mine sightly used for $16K. However, there are not many dealers in my area. Plano, Texas has European Cycles and I purchased my Rocket on consignment. Does not have a scratch on it.
Still prefer a Harley over anything.
