How fast does the Triumph Rocket3r go, LEGALLY!

[@LincolnSixAlpha]

Your right, there are limits in place in the factory programing on the ECU of the Triumph Rocket 3. I picked up a 2021 Rocket 3GT last month, and if you do your research via the forums, you'll stumble across new ECU maps and methods to which you'll be able to reprogram the bike. The new ECU maps will remote the power limiters on the first three gears, and likely the top end, although I don't have a need to do over 130MPH on any of my rides, for purposes of testing, this bike can absolutely go much fast than 130. Needless to say, this bike is not short on power, anywhere.

I test rode the lastest gen Rocket three in Thailand. Top end is limited but still more than any sensible rider would need. The lowering of the centre of gravity has improved the agility and handling no end. My ride took me into the twisting mountain roads of Northern Thailand, I was impressed. The thing that won me was the effortless highway cruising , the smoothness and enough torque to pull a house down.

You can get rid of both the speed limiter, as well as the ride by wire restrictions. Even in Sport mode, when you give it 100% throttle, the ECU never delivers more than 64%... That bike is seriously held back, but it's all done in software, so you can unlock all of that in less than 20 minutes with TuneECU and an Android phone. Lots of free HP just sitting there waiting to be unlocked.

[@flatcapcaferacer]

I'm very jealous of the track width, length and how smooth it appears. I do land speed racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats which is well known for the many records set there. However, salt has less grip and generally not as smooth as even rough pavement. The surface changes from being like wet sand to being hard enough to leave rubber tire marks down. Two of the biggest drawbacks are the density of altitude (5000 to 7200 feet) and the lack of tire adhesion. I'll be running a modified first gen Rocket 3 in August with almost no stream lining, I just hope I can hang on.

The salt was very wet and the modified frame geometry was all wrong. In August 2024 I'll go back on a newer 2021 model with only the speed limiter removed. The 2013 bike was totaled the newer model was much more stable at 144 mph. Hopefully the salt is better and we don't crash again.

The rocket 3r can do speeds much higher than this. It's got the juice. I also have an Indian FTR 1200 which is electronically limited to 200 ONLY. Another big disappointment was the ninja h2, the speedo and the actual vbox gps both didn't go above 299 and the bike had an incredible about of punch still left. The only surprise was the 2021 hayabusa , the speedo was of course only limited to 299 ( analogue ) but the bloc kept climbing until it reached 302 kmph true speeds. I am not a cruiser guy but the Rocket3r is an amazing bike to ride. I have burnt the clutch plates of bikes like the Indian roadmaster but the rocket 3r can take an amazing amount of hard riding ( I took it to a race track and did 10000 kms around india in one go). As far as the context of this video goes - being fast and top speeds, it was more of a landmark moment taking it around the world's fourth longest high speed test track rather than anything else with the rest of the motorcycles. And of course Hinckley ought to destruct this amazing machine. 💪🏼👏

Not really, a CBR125 accelerates faster than a 40 tonne lorry. Acceleration is all about power to weight, just compare the power to weight figures for a 600cc sport bike compared to this fat monster and the reasons will be obvious. Top speed, given enough distance to build up speed, is a different matter, and is all about wind resistance. Again, the 600 sport bike will be far more slippery at high speed. But this is not what these fat muscle bikes are about anyway, they are all about presence, arm wrenching low speed torque and bragging rights. Definitely winning on those points.

Yup rev limited on two top gears, first three gears limited to 70% throttle WOT max leaving only fourth open, I ride mine a lot in fourth 😉 looking to get a gen 1 vmax, the poster bike that made me want to ride in the early 90s, 😎 ride safe brother

[@RaptorV1USA]

They made a motorcycle that rides like a freight train lol

It's called aerodynamics.it's a bit of a brick.

[@raymondsanderson3768]

Legally, whatever the max speed limit is on the road you’re on!

Most underrated KZbinr with high level of knowledge ⚡😭

With 51.3K subscribers, there are 700K+ views I agree it’s over 2 years. Even then it’s a commendable feat. There are channels where there are a million Subscriber’s but each video gets less than 100K Views. Engagement is more important than subscriber base.

Why do yoi want 2500 cc engine if your speed is restricted.

[@marksmart9754]

Comfortably cruise at 180 all day? Not on a naked bike. Or are you calling a couple of hours all day. This is obviously a PAID COMMERCIAL.

[@carlosandrehancock3394]

Did you launch on 2nd gear???

[@whateverrrrrr123]

why the backpack?

[@paradiswest4395]

Parachutes

[@paulhorvath9784]

It's a Parachute..😂

[@wordreet]

I had a '92 750 Trident that did 125 with my lardy ass on it! So I'm sure this beast will go a lot faster, given the opportunity!

[@terryrobbins4224]

And then a cow crossed the track .

[@barrysleafer8347]

New a fella a few years back had one heavily modified and superchargered it at the time it was pushing 300 bhp

[@gregeads7003]

Can't deal with those ridiculous headlights.

[@The1trueDave]

What was in your backpack? I feel like that alone cost you 10kph... and the phone mount maybe 5 🙂 Did you feel the gearing was the limiting factor or were you simply out of power at 235?

[@leakingjar6801]

hahah yeah might as well tie bricks to your waist and a plank on your back for no reason HAHHHAA

[@taniastevenson4868]

I was expecting MPH, not KPH. 2.5 litres, is that all its got???

[@Cal1gula666]

Where's the tow bar?

[@davidwaddington9414]

there are bikes in the TT Races on the Isle of Man doing over 200mph (not kph).

[@spaceflight1019]

True, but they're not wearing license plates.

[@Motovlognepal]

Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 ❤️

[@dipeshsharma6299]

I love this monster ❤️❤️

[@Asperaetastra]

Well..... feck me. That's fast. Cheers from my Speed Triple to his bigger brother - The Rocket 3.

[@mjspice100]

How fast does it go LEGALLY? Well in the UK that would be 70mph… Legally the national speed limit for a motorway…

[@grahamekellermeier8280]

It goes like a rocket.

[@richardsilva5134]

i love my 2005 R3 Classic. The first generation classic can hit 140MPH with ease with CAT Box eliminated and Triumph offroad pipes. I am surprised this latest model cannot attain more "Legally". As for the video,, TY for sharing but please pass on that the rider need not keep his fingers on the clutch unless he is using it. Also what is that on his/her back?
