Rocket 3 GT first ride, well it’s different but in a good way! Hope you like the video guys, if you would like to support the channel, buy me a coffee here: www.buymeacoffee.com/Motouk
what a machine, rolls royce craftmanship in the build, the faster it goes the smoother it glides, was thinking about your right leg on the pipes but great for winter, loving the low seat, could really get use to this but the BHP would get the better of me, not cheap but quality comes at a premium, Triumph have done a great overhaul of the previous Rocket's which were bulky and not very easy on the eye, this should sell well with the older rider.
I have the same motorcycle installed a quick shifter on it and what a difference when you need to shift fast because of the low rpm on the bike so shifting up or down is a blast love it
Nice to see how the Rocket 3 has evolved, I had a test ride on one of the early versions, for such a big bike I found it very 'flickable' due to the incredibly low centre of gravity with that huge motor. This latest version looks lovely, but for where I live now completely impracticle. Nice review.
It's such a sexy looking bike. Just a beast !!!! The issue I am having is the price of it, out the door naked. By the time you add options for more of a practical commute ride, it ends up the price of a new Goldwing DCT Tour. With my calculation, I ended up with the GW. if you get the Rocket GT, look at Corbin accessories. Wonderful adds on, but not cheap.
@@MOTOUK1 cooler, yes. Thrilling, yes. Sexier, yes. Practical not like the GW. However, I might make that move one day. Will see. So far, I love the GW.
MotoUK, if you had your choice between this bike and the 2022 Hayabusa which one would you choose as an everyday rider? Personally, for me, i've gone through all the motorcycles that I wanted; everything from ducati panigale V4S, streetfighter V4, MV Agusta Brutale 1000RS, etc...and I boiled it down to the hayabusa and Rocket 3R due to me being a height of 6'3" tall....
Never ridden one or any cruiser except the Ducati Diavel, but she's a real beauty and that torque must be amazing but will stick with the awesome MT10, Cheers Moto UK.
A very informative video as per usual. Not my type of bike either, I would much prefer your MT10SP. When you go to the show this weekend, I would appreciate any info you can get on when and what Yamaha are doing for the MT10 replacement or upgrade. I hope they are not going to drop the 4 cylinder for a 3 cylinder supercharged or Turbo.
Depends where you are in the world really not sure! But i did a lot of miles on it and was super comfy 👍 thanks for tuning in Reece and being a subscriber 🙏
I actually like the look of this one it's still a mahusive , to much bulk for me but looks really well built will be interesting to see more on this one . Cheers Nick : )
I was hoping that they made a full blown 2 up touring model of this bike. They don't seem to be selling here in Canada, I have yet to see one on a highway. They made a touring model of the Rocket 3 that you see now and again in Canada. But without a Fairing and proper pillion comforts there is no way the wife is getting on the back of this !!!! Lovely countryside!!!!
The windshield fairing absolutely seriously needs to be bigger like the one the engineers of Harley davidson put on the pan American, they have an 18inch tall ,everyone has their own opinion of how much wind you are caring to put up with, everyone should know just because it comes out of the factory that way, doesn't necessarily mean that the factory options are written in gospel stone, your the customer owner motorcyclist, somethings can be switched out, your decision's are closer to being written in than you might think, it's your bike ,your imagination does have a lot of answers
The feet forward thing, like a chair, is the best riding position for doing distance. Big bikes with wide handlebars like this handle as good as they are going to without sticking one's heels up their butt too.
I'm going to have to disagree. This puts all of your weight on your ass, with no shock being picked up by your legs. It also makes you have to stress your lower back and arms more to stay upright in the wind blast. It's comfortable, but not long term. I'd still have to say the best long range position is more akin to a Ducati Multistrada/BMW GS upright tall position with your feet under your frame.
@@enntense I can lift myself up on my touring croozers if I see a bump coming. Really no different on a GS. If you don't see the bump and don't brace your legs to take the impact, it's coming thru the seat. I find both types of bikes comfortable, but I'm short and fit touring croozers much better. And for whatever reason, I find that riding position the most comfortable.
I can't believe with all the beautiful engineering, stunning cast and billed aluminium... Triumph took the handlebars of a poxy bicycle... Bloody pig ugly painted steel handlebars

Thorough and useful review. Unlike other vlogs, the time was well spent without filler moments - every comment is informative and spot on.

It so much a cooler bike than the Goldwing 😂👍

@@alp3781 if its got two wheels thats all that matters 👍 happy riding
I love his demeanor when that car crossed into his lane haha he didn’t skip a beat. I’d be like WHAT THE %#&$ ARE YOU DOING!!!
😂😂👍 stay cool and calm

Neither both too big for an everyday, if I had to choose the rocket 3 though

Me neither Dave never ridden but super comfy 👍

I will be asking them for sure and will update you 👍
Is it Gran Turismo, or Grand Tourer? Are the terms interchangeable?
Depends where you are in the world really not sure! But i did a lot of miles on it and was super comfy 👍 thanks for tuning in Reece and being a subscriber 🙏
@@MOTOUK1 Glad to be here!
Really enjoyed the review, lovely bike a little to big and expensive for me
It’s surprising me, have a 3.5 hrs motorway journey today, definitely comfy for that
I actually like the look of this one it's still a mahusive , to much bulk for me but looks really well built will be interesting to see more on this one . Cheers Nick : )
Your welcome 🙏
Nice one and price is okey i think better than goldwing :)
Thanks Emre it is nice 👍 very well built

Lovely countryside!!!!
Most touring in Europe is done on adventure bikes these days. The rocket 🚀 is powerful you would lose the wife off the back 😆
Beats me why Triumph doesn't make a fixed fairing bagger based on the R3. Compete with Harley and Indian, BMW . 🇦🇺
Awesome machine but too much if you can afford just one bike. Thank you for this review, plenty of information and entertaining at the same time. ✌
Thanks Giovanni 👍
Wow!😯

@@saddle8bag Ah, I understand. I'm tall, and that probably influences my perspective.

It seems impossible to make it sound kewl, sounds like tractor. I still love it though...
Sounds way better than a Harley 👍
More talk than my Mrs. frightening....
