Is it a beginner bike tho? I want that bike so bad but feel it’s way to powerful for someone without experience

[@pierrepatry9733]

@@aisjwksidh1825 i would suggest to start with a lighter motorcycle at first. It’s not the power that can be (the) problem: because of the mapping and other safety programs (anti-wheeling, ABS, etc) and of course your self control. But the weight (less then 700 pounds which is reasonable), the length, height: it can make a bit of a challenge in close quarters/low speed maneuvers. I know i would cry if i dropped my dream bike from time to time because i’m learning to ride. And it’s going to cost a lot of money to fix some of the stuff that will eventually break/scratch/bent. 🤷‍♂️ I’m sure you’ll get yours and i sincerely wish you one. Until then, get a used motorcycle (you like), take all the courses you want/can because they really, really help. And those courses are really fun. Like rodeo on you mechanical horse. And if (when) you drop it… Won’t be as bad. 👍

Bought a new GT a couple of months ago. There was just something about it. First bike in almost 40 years to do that. The little torque dance it does in neutral when you blip the throttle had something to do with it I'm sure. For us old paratroopers, the mild forward controls is a godsend to our knees and hips. And if people want to bitch about the range they don't get this bike. The mileage does suffer from a bad case of unleashed genie syndrome, but the giggles are worth it. Thanks for the vid! Love my Rocket 111 GT

[@douglashook1512]

@@lt1nut I wish I knew what to tell you about the bike. I'm 5'11" and it fits me very well. I will say the bike is kind of heavy with a passenger when coming to a stop. Once you're rolling it's smooth sailing if you've got your suspension dialed in. This bike loves countersteer through tighter corners. I do understand about the PTSD and depression. This bike is my therapy on the daily stresses of life. I'm lucky to be able to use it in that way. My wife understands that sometimes I need to be alone on a ride and come home in a better state of mind. Hang in there and check out a Rocket 111 gt.

[@giantslug6969]

Another note about the 2020+ Rocket 3. The default throttle mapping limits the throttle to 70%, even in sport mode, even at a full twist. So you're only getting ~70% of the bike's potential. As far as the ending of the video goes, seems like a fueling issue. I haven't had any similar issues with mine though. I did a bit of cross-country on mine and was averaging ~40 MPG and got about 170 miles per tank before I felt the need to refuel. Zipping around town with a lot of stop and go, I only get ~35 MPG. It definitely drinks gas, but mine's also ECU tuned to give me 100% throttle and is noticeably faster than stock. If you're absolutely ripping it, 30-32 MPG.

That Gen 1 2300cc triple is over-built, that mill can go 9K using MoTec ECU, tuning software. The issue w/ the new R3 is Triumph didn't learn anything from the previous model. It would cost but a few pennies more per bike to make it a real world-beater in the cruiser market . The Gen 1 R3 can't beat a Duc Diavel...the Diavel gives the R3 w/ a Carpenter 245 kit a fit. The Gen 2 engine for all it's capacity just takes a huge crap approaching the rev limiter, big nose-dive due to software mapping when it's capable of still making big power reliably, safely

[@timstich1052]

Dude, the guys dressed up in Olde British garb prancing around cracked me up.

[@78Outlaw]

Love my 3R, as I prefer the sportier position from higher pegs and wider bars and can use weight more and has slightly more lean. Still a good tourer tho. My U.K. bike redlines at 7k, fact it makes more torque at 2000rpm than most bikes peak is great with peak power at 6000rpm, and can average 55mph cruising on motorway but average 41mpg. Furthest I’ve seen was 185 miles on one tank and shortest was 130 miles in Sport 😎 Having ridden both, the turn in on the 3R is way better as you have a bit more weight over the front tyre, and more counter steer on the straighter-wider bar but you need longer arms to get comfortable with, the front rake is stepped so not as long as first appears but check the Avons too & that they are not squared as the Rocket is very sensitive to that. I often ride on tighter turns and use a bit of pendulum flick and rear trail brake to get the bike nicely tucked in, sit on the rear side wall and roll out, very satisfying 😎 And a flash will give you ~180bhp rear wheel 😈 and unlock rev limiters … higher redline, oh and try one with the quick shifter, full throttle shifts and auto blipper downshifts, awesome and really livens the big bike up 😎

Bike has everything i need and nothing i dont. only thing i do miss from my aprilia, is the front wheel dumper and long gears. I accelerate faster, i go faster in most regards (going straight), it flicks fairly easy, not as easy as sport bike, but not far from it. i got saddle bags on it, and and pillion bag. Im golden now. i can take it for a long ride, with no worries. Also in comparison to my aprilia tuono..... on aprialia in race mode i was getting about 90-100 miles per tank, on this guy i get 130-140 miles per tank. it doesnt run hot as aprilia does, handles hot day in traffic perfectly. plenty of power, with smooth delivery. feels very confident on the road. doesn't has excess things, only what you need. Like aprilia had ton of gimicky racer things, 6 modes, on the go traction control button in place where your turn signals had to be, so i ended up never using turn signals and etc. Rocket, has every thing in right places and proper amount of it. you can drag race it, but it wont be good for track day. so if you want speed and comfort, but don't ever plan to hit a track, rocket is your bike. btw im 35, too young to be a cruiser dad.

I live in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, very close to western Nevada. Not only are there plenty of stretches of road over a hundred miles without gas stations, but what good does it do if the town closes down and rolls up the sidewalks at 6pm? Sure, most pumps have card readers, so you can buy gas after the station closes, but all it takes is a one pump station with a broken reader or the internet to be down (which happens a lot in small remote towns) and you're stuck. Better carry some cash for when the station opens in the morning. I only have a 130ish mile range, but don't tour, and have to plan my longer trips carefully. (Back in the early eighties, I had a KZ750LTD and when I'd run out of gas, I'd take the tank off and hitchhike with it to a gas station, where I'd fill it up and hitchhike back to my bike.)

That would be the sensible thing to do… …but this bike just wasn’t born to be sensible 🤷‍♂️

[@78Outlaw]

Range is decent on my 3R, 54mpg on motorway. 160 mile + range… short shifting makes a big difference… and if you want to lower power then there is a wet mode and road mode is a lot more chilled than Sport, you can also completely disable TC for the hooligans and tyre roasters 😆

[@albarytu]

Range is actually not bad. If you need to extend your range you can already use road mode and ride smoothly, even use the cruise control. But feeling that torque in sport mode is just too addictive. That's the problem.

[@emoservedwithfries]

We going to see spike on the speed 3? Love to hear how the harley guy likes it

[@StardustADV]

I fully expect you to get one of these one day, add a passenger seat, and take your girl touring. Forget the Road Glide, forget the Gold Wing this is the best touring bike for Yam.

[@mortalterrorRE]

They’ve been working on that damn road for like 3 years 😂

[@JeffreyKretzler]

We still have that title. the boss hoss still exists.

[@MrJeffreycauchi]

Yamm, I'm loving that your team is creating content very often.... hats off to everyone 👏🏼 🙌🏼👍🏼 👌🏼 ❤️ Love from Malta 🇲🇹

[@majorpay5058]

End of the video it looks like you lost your FOB, or the batteries went out. I have the GT, and if you're short, you'll get feet forward. If you're 6ft like me, best you'll get is 90 degrees. That's fine, if you like being a little more aggressive.

[@piersdenney]

Get the quick shift for Rocket 3 if you really want to see one fly!

[@theKongW]

Loved my rocket 3. Wife said it was the most comfortable bike I've owned. Mad flex with a 225 car tire on the back. My problem was the exhaust note. The big triple sounded like a diesel sewing machine. Torque was geat in the twisties. Embarrassed several sport bikes.

[@markbaum9615]

240 rear tire. ...only lasted me 3000 miles due to lb*ft overload

[@theKongW]

A real car tire with a 50,000 mile warranty. You get used to rolling over on the sidewall.

[@HiroNguy]

1. I too consider the feel of the wind to be one of the things I love about riding. 2. Bummer about the bollox handling with that fashion tire on the rear.

[@mattabplanalp582]

I wonder how this compares to a Diavel on a twisty road. 🤔

[@theicon2125]

That's a hell of a twist at the end. Hopefully you guys can figure out what's going on. I need to see Spite squid out on that thing.

[@monstermash479]

You've got a turbo busa, you've ridden the rocket 3, i would love to see you try Suzukis m109r and try and watch you lug it around

[@EZBlast]

Did the fob fall out of the pocket?

[@Lemmon714_]

We do have the biggest engine in a motorcycle, the Boss Hoss. 8127cc

[@mattperry5821]

America has Boss Hoss motorcycles. They put V8's in their bikes. You can get a V8 Boss Hoss with 560HP. Makes the Rocket 3 look like a moped.

[@bisser6969]

i get on my Gt 21km/L when cruising at 80mph

[@blevans3]

The way I judge how good motorcycle is and how fun it is to ride is by how much you laugh in your videos by the time you get to third gear. The rocket 3 must be a blast. I think I will only ever own a Triumph. I have two and I am looking for a third..

[@crumpledpaper8897]

I think we did beat them with the boss hoss v8, but it isn’t a production motorcycle.

[@no1bandfan]

I’ve been looking at this bike for over 2 years now. Pandemic hit, then I bought a house, now I’m changing jobs and I never seem to have the time to get into riding like I wanted to. Glad to see you review this bike because I’ve been following you for a while.

[@Mr_N0_0ne]

This has to be the best starter bike forsure lol

[@davidmilostan994]

Wait, has Yammie heard of Big Hoss? ‘Merica has had the V8s in motorcycles for a bit

[@mitchmolina9793]

Boss hoss!!! But the new models. The old ones have a odd set up

[@jameshampton8730]

Exactly. Your comment about the wind is correct. If you don't want to feel the wind in your face then ride in a car. This bike is fantastic fun. I'll never be without it

[@bradleybaker8894]

I have had a Rocket 3 GT triple black for a year. The Rocket 3 is what it is and makes no bones about it. I did not buy it to tour with nor do I intend to use it that way. It is a different bike and brings a smile to my face every time I get on it. A great power day cruiser to have some fun with. In Rocket specific forums I see people using them all sorts of ways and that is fine. I do not think it is a great one bike fits all choice. Not many bikes are. I honestly wouldn't recommend it for everyone. I plan on getting another bike for a different type of riding. That said, I really enjoy this bike. I plan to keep it long term.

[@briarfox637]

If it were fuel the bike would've sputtered and it would've acted like it was starving. Since it just absolutely stopped, I'd say a wire issue. Maybe something came loose, or even the wire for the emergency cut off/start button could've come loose.

[@maikkeli]

Harley should do massive V4 cruiser as a f u to triumph. It should have atleast 50 hp and nm more than rocket. It would be hillarious

[@adventuresofkeyfob9849]

But Yammy, my Harley Davidson (a real man's bike) can get a 131 straight from Harley with all the screaming Eagles! Can't no bike keep up with that much freedom baby !! Really. Glad to see you guys test out this one. I absolutely love the rocket 3 gt. After I pay enough money to get my arm, leg, and kidneys back I will be looking at one of these.

[@wanton1234]

131 crate won't touch a rocket.
