NEW TRIUMPH ROCKET 3 STORM // THE GLADIATOR OF ALL MOTORCYCLES // REVIEW

[@davewilkirson2320]

I purchaesd a 2022 Rocket 3 GT with 300 miles on the odometer. Doesn't have a scratch on it. The owner had many bikes and was wealthy. This one scared him. Scared me too. I'm 67 and a rider for 55 years since a kid. I owned the V-Max and the Busa's and the H2 Kawasaki Widow Maker and a Boss Hoss 502 and the Rocket is the King. Actually, the Rocket is my 32nd bike since 1970. It is the King of all bikes. Great video.

[@whatcarwhattime]

Wow, now thats a great record of bikes my friend. Well done an congratulations to you your new one. Its torque is really something but its such a managable bike despite its weight. I love it! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@davewilkirson2320]

@@whatcarwhattime oh yes. Thanks

[@ArabianOak]

I had the gen 2 max. It’s faster than the rocket but I enjoy my rocket more.

[@whatcarwhattime]

@@ArabianOak Wow, thats also a very cool bike, congratulations! Ride safe and have fun. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@stanzilla99]

The sound though. I love the Rocket, but the sound!

Owner of same R Storm version and your review is spot on. Riding since '78 with over 100,000 km on various bikes, trained in mechanics, and very impressed with this machine. Have 5,000 km on it so far. Do wish quick shifter, tpms, and heated grips, were included instead of extra cost options. Also should have heated seat option. Build quality is one of the best. Attention to detail is impressive. Every ride is a thrill. R version best for handling power. GT version best for longer rides.

[@whatcarwhattime]

Thank you so much. And I only had it for three days to do a review. Very impressive bike and it showed me quickly what it was made of. The shift assist that the Speed Triple 1200 RS has that I'm currently reviewing is the smoothest and best I've ever tested. Drive safe and have fun. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Cary-sm8wu]

ENJOY!!!😎👍

[@michaelbrett3749]

Finally someone that has made a fantastic video about the Rocket. Someone that calls the beast The Gladiator...how appropiate. The filming is first class. The background views are lovely. The visuals and the dialogue are great. The bike is the best looking bike on the market bar none. The rider knows how to ride and i liked to see him take those country roads.

[@whatcarwhattime]

Thank you so much, very happy you liked the review and the filmning. The Rocket is really a gladiator and a beast 💪. Many thanks for watching and supporting 🙏 A lot more to come during 2025, so keep an eye out. Happy new year! 🎊

[@MrTurcao197]

Best review of the Storm Edition I have seen. Thank you.

[@whatcarwhattime]

Makes me happy to hear, thank you! And thanks for watching 🙏

[@davewilkirson2320]

Nice vid. I often see the non-bikers comments that compare this bike to a drag bike or a sport bike. It is not. It is a well crafted Cruiser that goes well beyond what other cruises can perform. It is a fabulous bike.

[@whatcarwhattime]

@@davewilkirson2320 Thank you! Thats right, its more of a cruiser with a very strong attacking aura. Love it! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@alexwilhelmi8226]

I've watched tons of video reviews of this beast. Hands down, best one right here 🙌 Well done sir! The rocket 3 is the sweetest machine out there, from front to back solid 100% badass. I'm going to have to get one to share my garage with my thunderbird storm. They'd be great friends 😂 Much appreciated video brother 🙏

[@whatcarwhattime]

Im so happy that you like our work. Means a lot and that really motivates us. Its a magical bike and it really rocks all type of roads 😎. Hope you get your hands on one soon. Ride safe and have fun. Thanks for watching and keep your eyes on the channel and please share. Much more to come 🙏🙏

[@allynhughes1213]

Bought the 2020 3R when first released, and totally happy, riding in a group, they call it ‘The Mother Ship’

[@whatcarwhattime]

Wow, congratulations! Yes, it sure feels like a mothership. That look, that engine and that torque. Very nice bike. Drive safe and have fun. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@DM-ci2nn]

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago. Magnificent motorcycle. People get bedazzled, they dont even know what it is lol.

[@whatcarwhattime]

Super congratulations! Its just such a strong character of bike in its presence and share power. Love it! Tomorrow I'm getting the Speed Triple 1200 RS for a review. Deive safe and have fun. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@DM-ci2nn]

@@whatcarwhattime enjoy that triple I'll be looking forward to the review 👍

[@whatcarwhattime]

@@DM-ci2nn 🫡 Thanks for the support 🙏

[@davewilkirson2320]

You're right. I think most of those comments are from young males that have very little experience with an outstanding product.

[@flatcapcaferacer]

I just got back from doing 152 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats on a 2021 Rocket 3 GT. The bike had excellent stability and just needs some aerodynamics and some more rpms plus higher rated tires to go faster if 152 mph isn't fast enough. 😄😄

[@whatcarwhattime]

Wow! That sounds amazing, would love to do that. Its a very stable bike, and cool and all. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Cary-sm8wu]

That's the ONE for me! Can't wait! 😎👍

[@whatcarwhattime]

Awesome! Hope you get yours soon. Drive safe and have fun! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@hillbillyhogdogger4533]

Funny to hear you say “driving” the bike instead of “riding” the bike. Maybe you do when you’re not on camera? Own a 2020 GT Rocket 3 and a 2009 rocket 3. Love them both, but the newbie is the best for one up riding. It is a magnificent Bike. Love it. Thanks for your great review. Very well done. Cheers.

[@whatcarwhattime]

Thanks! Yes, riding is the word 👌Great to hear that you like the review. Soon the review of the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS is up on the channel. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@whatcarwhattime]

Great joy to hear that you are satisfied and liked it. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@mikeymikeFType]

10.32. Pulls like a rocket ! 😊 I see what you did there ! Unfortunately my wife won’t allow me a motorbike. If I could,it’d be this one. My last bike in 2006 was a Honda CB1300. And when you start hitting 120mph, the strain on your neck just becomes too much. This seems unreal. Oh well,I’ll have to make do with my F Type…for now😉

[@whatcarwhattime]

Yes, this machine is sensationally strong and pulls just like the name its got. Hope you can on a bike soon again. Just drive calm and be aware of your surroundings. All the best and thanks for watching 🙏

[@triumphthunderbird1]

You nailed it! Magnificent bike. Had my TFC variant for 4 years now. Absolutely love it!

[@shadwox9808]

I have 2020 Rocket GT dont plan buy this new Storm yes its got a boost on the HP but nothing that a ECU flash can do with more power but i like the black out engine on the Storm. Ride safe mate

[@whatcarwhattime]

@@shadwox9808 Great bike you got. I loved this new model and the way it handled. Would love to own this one, lovely power package that looks fantastic. Thanks for watching, drive safe 🙏

[@markettradinggenius]

how comfortable was the bike? Secondly, how reliable is the bike? Lastly, would it be good for 700 miles in a day for comfort?

[@whatcarwhattime]

The bike is rather comfortable for being as I called it an "attacker". You need to lean in on it a little. And that means this R-version with a more forward set handlebar and fotpegs mounted a little more back. The touring model is the one to go for if you are planning ok taking it on longer runs. I haven't tried out the Touring yet. Reliability is good within the Triumph range, read a little here and there and it sounds like customers are happy with the bikes. 700 miles on this one? No, if not cutting that long run up into two days. But the seat was good, but my length (175 cm) for the R would not be so comfortable. Get the Touring 😎👌. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏

[@markettradinggenius]

@@whatcarwhattime I would imagine that if you would have been 6'2" or 6'3" tall the bike would have been more comfortable for longer distances :)

[@whatcarwhattime]

@@markettradinggenius yes, I think so. But still, Touring seems a lot more comfy for everyone 😊

[@mrofnocnon]

[@stevefoster258]

I own three of the older models, and love them. This new model has way too many electronic gizzmo's for me. Might be nice until they start acting up. Sensors, wires everywhere, and how many switches on the bars ??? Would have to go to a dealer to trace any problems. Better have a lot of cash in your wallet, and how far away is a dealer from you? Not a lot of Triumph dealers anymore. Just sayin.😎

[@whatcarwhattime]

This new one is fantastic! There aome dealers around the Stockholm area but the electronics works well and the quality seems to be very good. It has been refurbished and strengthened up, chassi and power and a lot of the electronics makes it a magical ride. Try it out is my suggestion. You'll love it! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@michaelbrett3749]

You sound like a grumpy old man. Get yourself a Toyota Corolla for transport. Oh wait a minute you already have one and if not get a bus pass.
