Excellent review, Dave. I test rode the original Rocket Roadster, and I really wanted one. This would be a delight, but I'm maybe getting a bit old for it. Plus I live in Thailand. Congested roads. The low c of g means it must feel really light. Relatively speaking. I didn't find the old one heavy when on the go. And it was easy to heave off the side stand. In fact, it didn't need a heave.
What a bloody great review. I live in London but, I am originally from Brisbane / Gold Coast. I love my 3R - Best bike I have ever owned. Thanks for the awesome video!
I have only 2 problems with this model. 1) They built the roadster too good, I love my roadster. 2) the price, justified given the engineering but still - woof. I still bet I will get one in time. Great review as always.
Dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few days :)
Yeah - I was actually supposed to be getting a GT as a test bike for a longer loan - but the virus has put it all on hold. I will get it when things get back to normal though.
David Cohen that will be Kool. I’d be keen to hear your review on the GT, compared with the R. I really do like the multi position of the forward mount controls. Giving 50mm from shortest to furthest position.
It's nice to see big performance-oriented engines produced in this European emissions regulations age. It sucks to see Hayabusa and zx14 discontinued after 2020.
Hi David good to see another Queensland Great video Champ, very informative I got my Rocket TFC from Springwood When you are bored!!!! I have a video of my rocket going in 20 to 60k bends, had her scraping a far few times, handled really well, Just found it a bit hard in the arse end over bumps at speed not sure if the rear is to soft and it's bottoming out or to hard ? maybe after you watch it you might be able to let me know Talk soon Marcio
Hi@@BigDavesPlace I had triumph Australia got there mechanic ring meand walk me through it and even gave me his mobile the service Ive had with triumph Australia has been amazing The dealer didn't think that you could adjust the rebound on the front forks said the forks had to be pull apart unreal hey Triumph could believe it
Hate it and thats because i have 2016 R3. Have been satisfied with it and love it. Takes some getting used to after chucking around sports type Triumphs. But i have no need to change. Nope. Well untill ive seen this and the cornering you done with it. Bloody Aussie git
Wait wait wait wait.... the 2300 R3 NEVER had forward controls.... The Touring had heel/toe. That's as far as that went.. I had a Speedmaster and now own a Thunderbird... THEY'RE both forwards. My hubbs has an R3R and it's mid controls.
I own Triumph bike since 2007. I'm in love with this. I want one :))
THAT sound even with stock exhaust!
I bought one :D
@@YISP7 me too! Couldnt forget test ride. Sold my 2021 R1 for it for funds and space. Couldnt be any happier! :)
Wow David good to see you’re up and about! Looks great your eye is amazing,! My daughter moved down under!
Great video buddy, this bike is a real dream machine
From one Dave to another, thanks Dave!
Any time!
A very good presentation.

Great video Dave, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Thanks 👍
Great bike. Wish I could afford one.
Nice review, thanks.
You and me both!
Great review thanks
What a bloody great review. I live in London but, I am originally from Brisbane / Gold Coast. I love my 3R - Best bike I have ever owned. Thanks for the awesome video!
Great review, now I want one, too.
You should!
Stewart Dorman. I Garden - you want a review?
Subbed. Quality video, channel needs more attention.
Much appreciated!
I have one. I like it very much. Before I had Harley Fatboy for 25 years. The Rochet 3 R is a totally other level.than Harley
How does it sound compared to a Harley? They say it's very disappointing?
Osama Bin Laden I Like the sound of the rocket. But de Harley sound is better.
do you prefer Harley or the Rocket 3 ? You can modify the exhaust muffler to get a better sound I heared.

@Kingsley Langston definitely, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
Great review. Thanks for sharing. I want one too.
Thanks for watching!
I’m a Harley man through and through ... but this grabs me by the tickles ... Actually like the GT probably more so. Cheers for the review 👍

Jean-Paul De Schrijver yer ... that’s the R model. 👍

Nice video something to dream about thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice review
Nice bike
Coments👍👏👏
Much better review than TMFs who was far too personal with his comments! Did I want one, does sh*t stink!
That's just his style. Both great reviewers.
Something about this bike which is super desirable
Big boobs (engine)?
Dios mío...voy ahorrando dinero...esto es una bestia de moto 🏍🤪
Menos de 3 segundos hasta los 100km/h!l😬🙀💨💨💨👏👏👏
Got the hooks into me too. My wallet is empty but I have a TFC variant in my garage.
Aren't you contented with the TFC? That thing is perfecttttt!
I love ths bike n i owe one ths in corrosive res colour n its owesome bike which doesn't ride but it glides.....
Great review,, Triumph should be after you for head of sales division. If not it’s their loss.

Hey Marcio - have you dialled in the rear suspension according to the owner's manual for your weight?
Hi@@BigDavesPlace
I had triumph Australia got there mechanic ring meand walk me through it and even gave me his mobile the service Ive had with triumph Australia has been amazing
The dealer didn't think that you could adjust the rebound on the front forks said the forks had to be pull apart
unreal hey
Triumph could believe it
@@BigDavesPlace I'm on that very thing this weekend.
Great machine. No doubt. But the plastic fenders feel very flimsy for a 20k bike
I have booked a GT.. how the engine heat when riding with slow moving traffic?
It's not bad.
This bike is completely insane at every consideration. Just bonkers, really. So, I bought the GT. Wait 'till the wife finds out.
Hate it and thats because i have 2016 R3. Have been satisfied with it and love it. Takes some getting used to after chucking around sports type Triumphs. But i have no need to change. Nope. Well untill ive seen this and the cornering you done with it. Bloody Aussie git

265+jp...Yes it's costly... but worth every penny!
That is one pathetic rear fender.
