2007 Triumph Rocket III Motorcycle reviews

After years of dirt biking and other metric cruiser ownership. I took the chance on a Brit bike at the recommendation of a friend. Drove up to Austin and found an SWEET barely used Rocket III at the dealership. After adding the race pipes and EFI chip and extra goodies, I got it on the road, and all I can say is YEE HAW. This bike not only for the money but for a man of my size and weight, fits like a glove, and I am most proud to own a bike from across the pond. Harley guys at my local hang out comment on it, and it also takes them back to when they either had Triumph or BSA choppers. So that gives you an idea of how old I am!!! Go Brit, Go Triumph! You can't go wrong with this bike. I am very impressed, and you will be too. Show less

ONE YEAR SINCE GETTING THE R3 AND WHAT A RIDE IT HAS BEEN. VERY HAPPY I didn't GO WITH A RUN OF THE MILL HARLEY. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAST TIMES IS TO PARK IN TOWN, GET A CUP OF COFFEE, AND WATCH ALL THE PEOPLE WALK RIGHT BY THE OTHER BIKES TO STARE AT THE MIGHTY TRIUMPH. I CAN'T COUNT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT POINT FINGERS AND TAKE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE BIKE. IT'S VERY COOL TO WATCH. OH YEAH AND THEN THERE IS THE WICKED POWER... :-) Show less

Every glowing report about power, performance, handling, engineering and technology of the Rocket III Touring is true! Triumph triumphs against all competition in every category. I have owned everything from scooters to rice burners to Harley's and my RocketIII Touring is simply the fastest, best performing and most balanced machine I've ever ridden. My Black Pearl was ONE year old April 09 and has over 16,000 miles on her. I came within $300 of making a deal on a Street Glide and I can't tell you how glad I am the dealer wouldn't deal - THAT says it all. Show less

Although at first it seems large, that all goes away when you crack the throttle. This bike puts a smile on your face every time you power up. Endless acceleration and torque. Weight holds it in place on large expressways. Too much fun! Show less

This is one bad mama-jamma of a motorcycle. It smokes all the cruisers and customs that let their egos get the better of them. Most will not even pull up right next to me because they know they are outclassed in power, styling and engineering. The Anglos on the other side of the pond really did this one up right; so much so that I sold my beloved Harley 2003 Anniversary Road King Classic to buy this bike.
I had to take it to the dealer to fix a fork damaged in an accident. Other than that this powerhouse has been a pleasure to own and ride. Show less

I have just purchased my 2007 classic. didn't even do a test ride. I went in and bought it, and away I went real fast I might add. This bike is amazing. I have had other brands but this is a crowd stopper. All of the Harley guys checking it out is pretty funny. Everything in all of these reviews is true. It has great handling at any speed and awesome power and pull at any gear or speed. 4th gear at about 60 on the highway, then twist her open and say goodbye to the Rocket. Merging in traffic is not an issue. For the money nothing else is close to it. It is even a couple grand cheaper than certain brands. Buy one now, or don't because I like not seeing too many of them.

I've been riding Triumphs for forty years and I've owned lesser brands as well, but nothing, and I mean nothing, has even come close to the Rocket III. I don't think I have ever gotten off of her without having a smile on my face. No matter where you go you get a thumbs up while you're riding and a crowd around it when you park it. It truly is an amazing bike. The acceleration is brutal; how can you not love that! But you could ride for hours at 20 mph and get no complaints from her. It handles like a middle weight going around corners and it just defies logic, but in a good way. My hat goes off to Triumph for making the world's best motorcycle! Again. I would without hesitation recommend it to anyone. Show less

I bought my Rocket about 1 year ago. I was a sportsbike guy previously but decided to try something new. I'm English so it was an easy choice to choose Triumph, and I must say the bike is awesome. I must admit it's a bit intimidating to most of the people who look at it but I just felt at home as soon as I sat on it. The power is relentless and it handles way better than I thought it would. And the quality is as good as I've seen. Anyone reading this that is not sure on what bike to buy, look no further than a Rocket III. You'll be picking the flies out of your teeth because you can't stop grinning! Show less

If you are not smiling after the first 100 yards of open road on this bike you have no clue what PREMIUM engineering and power are about. This is one sweet machine and has power to spare and the handling of a much smaller bike. VERY NIMBLE. The color combos are great. I love my Rocket III Classic and will never part with it. Show less

I have the Classic in red/white and have covered in 6 months 11500 miles without any troubles. The one big thing that worries me about this bike is that I don't think I will ever be able to wipe the smile off my face whenever I ride. With the Rocket being so unique, it's nice to be accepted by other brand riders. The Rocket has almost no vibrations till about 90 MPH, and then it's just a light buzz. It will handle very well but not like a sports bike due to its big rear tire. Power is never ending and very addictive. This is a great engineering feat by Triumph. Show less
