Triumph Rocket 3 is, in my opinion, the finest bike on the road. I'm partial because I have a 2016 Triumph Rocket III roadster. It's been highly modified & highly customized. It's all Black, murdered out, has forward controls and 18" apehanger handlebars, etc, etc, etc. I had Carpenter Racing build a full race engine & trans. It has 260hp & 190ft/lbs of torque at the rear wheel. It makes me giggle every time I ride it. It's a Beast and a blast to ride. I live in a mountainous area, and it handles surprisingly well in the twisties. I'm constantly wearing down the scraper nuts on my footpegs and I can keep up with my superbike friends. I'm lucky if I get 3000 miles out of a set of tires. It wouldn't be bad if the damn tires weren't so expensive. I thought about getting the new GT, but I've spent way too much money on this one, besides, I got it right & how I want it. Stay Safe Ya'll!😂

My TFC variant has the same power and torque output. I absolutely love it! The new Storm's look fantastic too. A masterpiece of motorcycle engineering. Had mine for 4 years now, I will top 20,000 miles this year (I have averaged just over 45 mpg). It's not my only bike, but it is are by far and away my favourite. Oh and you are right a quick shifter is a must. As always. great review.

[@simotofoto]

Thanks man, well jealous of your TFC, that is MEGA

[@midlife-crysis]

23,895 is actually sounding like a very reasonable price these days for something as mental as this anyway

[@simotofoto]

I concur

[@spdcrzy]

It's hilarious to think that this is less expensive than a Goldwing LOL.

[@scotspipera7402]

I averaged 48 mpg on my Rocket GT on a ride up to Bonar Bridge this week - 422 miles with a mixture of twisty roads and some dual carriageway on the A9. Fantastic bike for long rides!

[@simotofoto]

Not bad, better than I would have thought to be honest, thanks for sharing

[@sippinga.wiskey5664]

Had a 2020. Ordered a 24 R3 storm GT with same color scheme. Can’t wait 😛. Cheers 🥃🥃

[@AGRIV8TD1963]

Just a little jealous, but when you get it, let me know, and we'll race😂

[@simotofoto]

Good choice!

[@markettradinggenius]

Black is where it's at...haha...now imagine if someone customized their R3 to look like a "Lamborghini" bike, the way Ducati did with Lamborghini or the way Bentley did with Ducati. The R3 would be a real looker for sure !!

[@Mike-rm1vw]

Hey Si, Stunning bike, excellent review which leaves me feeling a little jealous. 👍

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

Great review. I love that thing 👌.

[@simotofoto]

Isn't it gorgeous

[@AnthonyJames-ki3pg]

42.5mpg after a year of riding. So happy to own one (GT 2002)

[@simotofoto]

Nice one, thanks for sharing

[@irfanyounas1967]

love the review .

[@simotofoto]

Thank you

[@italoguillermoesquivel4937]

Con una moto así, qué más se puede pedir? La Rocket 3 GT lo tiene todo, todo. Saludos desde Margos-Perú. Latinoamérica.

[@simotofoto]

Saludos y saludos, gracias por tu comentario, desde la soleada Escocia.

[@markabz2855]

I was torn between another Harley (Road King), or the Rocket 3. After watching your ride-out on the 3 R (and the Road King), I tested a 3 GT, and absolutely loved it. I contacted William at your showroom, and I am now the proud owner of a red and black beauty I've called Meg. Just like “Tam O’ Shanter’s mear”, she’s only got a stump of a tail, and more than enough power to get me out of trouble…such an exhilarating bike to ride! Keep up the reviews, they are excellent! A quick shifter and / or the panniers are up for consideration at the first service.

[@simotofoto]

Awesome Mark, thanks ever so much :)

[@AGRIV8TD1963]

No!!! Don't get a Damn Harley! Please!!! You will enjoy the Triumph much, much more. Trust me, because I've been on both sides of that fence.

[@jimanders9971]

I am right at 80,000 miles on my 2020 GT and I am averaging 37 mpg cumulatively according to the computer. The OP is correct get the quick shifter and a proper windscreen if you plan on riding a lot. As soon as mine wears out I will be replacing it with another Rocket.

[@simotofoto]

Thanks for sharing this info Jim :)

[@Desmo904]

That is one beautiful BIG bike. I'd love to have one with a Zard exhaust. Mint.

[@simotofoto]

You and me both!

[@stefanosserefoglou6540]

Regarding your question about fuel consumption, I get between 50 and 54 mpg when riding my Rocket 3 R Black on the mountains.

[@simotofoto]

Nice one, thanks for sharing

[@kennysantiago71]

What a beautiful piece of machinery.

[@simotofoto]

It sure is!

[@daveb6345]

That is a BEAST!

[@simotofoto]

I know lol

[@daveb6345]

@@simotofoto makes me want to go test ride one lol...

[@fernandoalcedan5276]

Music...?

[@alwo3678]

Can a quick shifter be added to a bike with helical gears?

[@simotofoto]

Absolutely

[@RorySeanWainer]

Looks great. If I didn't love my Thruxton so much, the Rocket 3 could be the bike.

[@mariansokolik336]

👍 had Thrxtn for 5 Ys, now R3 r, different but would not go back although T was great fun 😢

[@simotofoto]

The Thruxton is mega

[@dapperstuff]

the all black is badass looking

[@simotofoto]

Agreed

[@SriRam-vc3qo]

How the brake performs in gt ?

[@simotofoto]

Amazing man

[@iangoodwin4275]

Very good. Best I've ever had. Missed two deers other than a love tap that jumped out on me one morning.

[@chewie8]

Love one of these if not for the price 😮

[@simotofoto]

Great value for money when you consider what your buying :)

[@damianmcnulty7663]

A Monkey and a Rocket in yer collection, that would be interesting, cheers man.

[@simotofoto]

Sounds like a plan :)

[@patrickohara9550]

Lovely looking bike and so well engineered. How difficult is it to ride.

[@simotofoto]

Its a breeze to rie Patrick, an absolute dream dude

[@user-zl4ey7my7t]

[@AGRIV8TD1963]
