When I was working at a Triumph dealer we had a gent with a rocket 3 who had a minor crash and lost his shift lever. He rode home and rode to the dealer the next day with the bike stuck in 6th gear!!! this thing takes off from a stop in 6th easier than most bikes start from first.

@@andyhollund493 The Rocket 3 is a 2500cc making roughly 165 HP 😂 it's an experience and the largest production engine. Triumph makes some amazing motorcycles. The reason I went with the FXLRS is the ergonomics and stance, I wanted a performance cruiser that's comfortable on the road. In my opinion the best bike the Company has ever produced and the factory 117 is fast enough for anyone.

Tiger 1200 has $6k, Scrambler 1200XC has $4k, bobber and speedmaster $3k (2023 models) If I didn't already have 3 bikes...

The good news is that the "more power" is something you can do to your regular Rocket 3... The current gen is held back by software... You twist the throttle and no matter how much you twist, it never delivers more than 64%... Sport mode on the Rocket is like Road or Rain on other bikes. You can change that yourself with TuneECU and an Android phone... Get it to deliver 100% when you want... Instant 35hp or so on a stock bike...

I toured Europe on my Triumph in the 70,s then it was my everyday transport for years and years in central London. Great, their back! But why so large engines? 500cc was perfect, more than enough speed and power. More than 600cc is totally unnecessary and therefore ostentatiously vulgar. I suppose it makes the rider feel more manly, more powerful, sexier, than he or she really is? Why no longer beautiful metal silver motors? Much nicer, more beautiful, than those cheap looking ugly black things. The silver raw metal engines seemed to say, "look at me, I'm proud, I'm beautiful, I'm the heart and soul of this machine". The new black blobs seem to say, "don't look at me, I'm just an invisible boring opaque blob, look at all the plastic colorful garbage around me instead".
