Episode 4: Triumph Rocket III Test and Triumph Day

The Bike Show comes to grips with the massive Triumph Rocket III in an urban environment after which we visit the first ever Triumph day in South Africa. We also get some feedback from Triumph owners on the new Tiger Explorer.

I have a Rocket III Touring that I use as a daily rider. Great bike!

I'm looking forward to the forthcoming new Rocket III.

I wish Triumph had the wit to step back from this insane headlong rush for the biggest, heaviest, most powerful, torquiest and instead take note of a couple of the late Colin Chapman's guiding principles: "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere." and especially "Simplify, then add lightness." I repeat: "Simplify, then add lightness." Just imagine a superbike that weighed less than 350lbs.. That's the technical challenge.. You'd end up with a motorcycle that would be ultra responsive, very flickable and much more rideable. It would also be easy to wheel around in the garage. I once owned a Silk 700S (a watercooled 653cc 2 stroke twin).. it weighed 309lbs (less than a Honda 250 at the time).. and did it handle! Come on Triumph! Edited to add: Why on earth would anyone want to use one of these behemoths as "an everyday bike"?

Pip Piperade Because some of us are behemoth riders .. 6 ft 1”...120 kgs in riding gear

the only diffrence in handeling between the new rocket 3 and the old one is the foot pegs are moved back! They corner pretty much the same...
