Triumph Rocket 3 R Black reviews

I’ve owned my 2009 Triumph Rocket lll Touring model since new. Current odometer reading: 49,772 miles. Still looks and rides like new. No major issues so far. Just regular maintenance, as outlined in the owner’s manual. Due to weight, the rear tire lasts about 5k miles no matter brand. Front tire anywhere between 11-13k miles. It’s always a pleasure riding this comfortable and powerful motorcycle; still turns heads during my frequent travels thru these last 16-years. Show less

I absolutely love this motorcycle. I test road one during the motorcycle weekend and decided that the white 1 with the black and red is the 1 that I wanted. This bike is very responsive. Quite comfortable, even though I'm 5 foot 10 tall. It is also heavy enough to withstand large winds. The hmm shocks and back entire bike shock system is entirely adjustable. I had my husband adjust mine for my weight. Heights and writing style, which was semiaggressive but not so much that every bump, is gonna hurt my back. This bike hugs corners if you're looking for a ducati and you don't have the money this is the one! The only thing that I don't like about it is that when you turn the bike off, there's a lock, the location to lock the steering column and then slightly after that is lock with the headlights on for whatever reason. If you put it on that your battery dies and it's just yea, a couple millimeters difference, that is my only complaint. I get so many looks on this bike.It's not even funny Show less

This beast of a motorcycle just launches like a monster and stops just as well. The 240 rear tire will have you learning the curves a tad differently but once you do it’s very fun. Love the looks of this motorcycle as well as performance but for the longer trips over 100 miles or more you might want to check different shocks but the seat and foot and hand arrangement are great for me. Thanks Show less

For a 30 years riding the bikes I got first time real crazy adrenaline! Triumph Rocket Roadsters was build very properly and flawless! I am so happy to live with creation like Triumph!!! Highly recommend for experienced riders only! Show less

This is the second rocket I’ve owned I had a 2006 roadster that I loved I bought this 2008 rocket touring been an excellent bike I love the power and it has great handling for a heavy bike and the growl from this bike sounds like no other bike out there Show less

Bulletproof. Powerful. Eye-catching. Crowd gathers everywhere I stop - most think the bike is brand new even though it's a 2009. Couldn't ask for a better ride - fast, powerful, comfortable, no need to shift much on mountain rides due to the massive torque from the 2300cc engine...and I'm a big guy. I highly recommend this bike for anyone looking for a worry-free bike that packs a wallop at an affordable price. Show less

I bought a 2005 Rocket along with a friend back in 2006, one road test sold us on the awesome power this bike had- I had the dealer install OEM cat delete pipes along with a tune boy PCM reprogram software to wring out even more power - 2005 bike was totaled in a garage fire and I immediately went out and bought a low mileage 2007 rocket with the running boards, I liked to classic better with just the pegs - my wife liked neither one of them, you just can't drive one of these bikes slow - I owned a 1989 V max at the same time and figured one had to go - kept the rocket due to the incredible torque started at 1000 rpm and just kept going - one of the few non HD bikes that is looked at in awe at biker bars Show less

We met at the dealership in Dayton, Ohio and it was love at first sight. The curves of her large gas tank, that huge 240 tire on the rear and oh those dual headlights! Her name is Bertha and she is fantastic! She does anything I ask her to do. The response of this bike is amazing and it is fast, real fast. It cruises down the road effortlessly and handles like a dream. She is an engineering marvel and I'm glad she is mine! Show less

What a fun machine and priced very reasonably. I rated performance as a 4 because of vibration above 80 mph. It gets a 3 for passenger comfort. The long-haul seat is very comfy for the rider but uncomfortable for the passenger and the passenger backrest is angled wrong - it cuts into the passenger's back. I spent an additional $750.00 Canadian to have an upholsterer fix the seat and a welder fabricate the new sissy bar. Overall quality is excellent and other than the couple complaints mentioned it is an awesome bike that really turns other bikers' heads - especially when you roar by them!! I plan to lower the bike by 1 inch (shorter shocks and slip front fork tubes) and download TuneECU for less vibration, better mileage and about 30 more ponies! Show less

I bought my Storm new in August and put nearly 2,500 miles on it in two months. It's fast, comfortable, handles great, has strong brakes and plenty of torque. I can't comment on reliability because it's so new but after months and months of research, for the price it was the best out there. It has a great look and it's not just another same as the next Harley. No offense but out of a hundred bikes, one or two are Triumphs. I prefer quality over quantity - great bike!! Show less
