Perfect machine. Great performance, great looks, great engineering, fit and finish.. Wonderful electronics.. Fantastic bike! The very best of the 28 bikes I've owned over 62 years!
Agree with your comments and feelings! I am 46 and own a sportbike (S1000RR) since about 7 years. So I love it as I generally change bike quicker. Since 3 weeks I am also the lucky owner of a Rocket 3 R (double lucky as it is on top of my S1000RR) and it is exactly as you said a smooth cruiser that has more than sufficient resources to ride hard and fast. If I had to keep one, I would probably finish keeping the sportbike (bmw ones are ok for old guys 😂) but if you have the chance to own 2, the Rocket 3 is a perfect complementary bike to a sportbike. A Ducati Diavel, Speed triple have too much in common with a sportbike. I think the Rocket 3 is different in that sense.
IMHO the Rocket it the best all around street bike made. It can cruise with cruisers, hit the road for long rides with the baggers, and play with the sport bikes. So if you only have room or money for one bike this would be my pick.
Thank you much appreciated! Thanks for watching. Yeah Triumph makes a great quick shifter, I have one on my '24 Street Triple 765 RS and it's super smooth.
Waiting for mine in September buddy R3 chrome jet black It is a Heart passion First time I saw her I fall in Love…. Thank you so much for your video Ride forever and ride safe
It been 1 years since i bought my Rocket 3 GT i was suppose to buy my long dream of mine a Harley but man i was looking to buy a used Harley with low mileage a Street Glide or Road Glide so surfing the internet and then Boom there she was in all her glory only 800 mile on it and at a price that fit me well went to see her at the dealership and i was hook, such a big motorcycle and i love big heavy bike 153 cubic inches in Harley numbers the torque number is out of this world 163 ft-lbs of torque so i said bye bye Harley and hello Triump.I never regret it it a head turner not one day i ride it and someone come to talk about the Rocket or give me the thumb up its crazy, im going to service the bike for the 10,000 service never had a problem so far knock on wood. Great video and ride safe mate.
Interesting. I rode the original Rocket lll Roadster for an afternoon back in 2010, north of London. It was a lot heavier than the current R and GT, but it was very manageable. Nick
Hi, I own the 2023 GT version, you should try it, the rocket has feeling of a touring and the power of a naked/ speeding bike, it's a nice combination 😎😊. Drive safe bro Best regards from Germany
Thanks for the comment and for watching! I have only sat on the GT, haven't ridden one (only the R) I'll have to give it a try next! Awesome to see someone from Germany watching my content!
I own GT. It is absolutely and only about emotions, There is non one reasonable argument, why to buy this motorcycle. OK, there is one (for me), I looked for the motorcycle with very similar ergonomy as I had on my Intruder and not looking cheap (as Indian Chief, not speaking about ugly HD). This won above BMW R18. But every costs: service, tires, fuel consumption and everything, is simply high. But, the feeling and joy is worth of it! This is absolute opposite of Honda, HD, or anything else. This is pure luxus.
I’m in the market for a left over 2023 Rocket R, and you’re so correct, this Bike is pure emotion and how you feel pulling up to a bike night or favorite Bike hang out, and just watch peoples reaction as they ogle at it and comment. I don’t put many miles on my bike a yr, and this bike, is good to just have , park and have others enjoy the spectacle that it is. 👍
Have the R in red since 1 year and it's for me the best bike i have ! ( i'm 52) i can ride soft and it's perfect , nice and smooth. you want devil and it is possible too ! and it's safe ! The best bike i bought and i'll kept it for a very long time ! Greatfull Thanks to Triumph for made this bike ! A dream come true 😍 Vin (a french biker)
Saying goodbye to the 2023 Triumph Rocket 3R was hard, what an amazing bike! What bike would you love to see me ride next?
Honda goldwing bagger would be interesting!
@@R3RLEE hmmm 🤔
@@FifthNorth not a fan of the gold wing as such but the bagger looks kinda cool..and a stripped down version of the normal caravan!! Lol
@@R3RLEE not really my style but hey who knows where the channel takes me!
Ducati Streetfighter V4

Definitely a great bike! Thanks for watching!
@@FifthNorth no, i said that in my opinion it I was the best all around bike. You are being non committal vis a vis that statement, be decisive, lol.
@@jimanders9971 🤣, Ill commit to this, I love my '24 Street Triple RS so far, more to come soon!
@@FifthNorth For traveling and cruising I will take the Rocket over the Street Triple, just sayin.
I think its the very best of all worlds! Fast, comfortable, great looking, beautifully made and engineered. Best of the 28 bikes I've owned.
Nice review...even better with the quick shifter!!! Got one on mine weeeeehaaaa!!!

Had it for a month and only pht 500 miles on??
Yeah I would have loved to have put more miles on it but more than half of said month was snowed in with icy roads.
