Rocket Woo Feckin Hoo

Triumph Rocket 3 2014 Factsheet - Overview, Detai…:

 

That one is lost on me I’m afraid?

 

Just comparison old - new

 

Apparently the Arrow system is locked down for sale only TFC - to order one you have to produce V5 verifying it is for TFC bike. Triumph ' do not want to dilute' the market. I was told this by Triumph rep

 

Little it is not......

 

Wow! makes sense I suppose....

 

So you are paying yourself 100 quid a week to wait.

 

Feck the £500, if you want it just do it. Who knows where you will be in a couple of years from now

 

Another glowing report (with yet another reviewer laughing with joy)

 

Don't want to alarm anyone but did you spot the key fault on the dash then it disappears.

 

Well from the last one, the whole thing worries me

 

Interesting article

 

Apparently the red one rides like a guided missile - the black one like a scud missile

 

I came from a varied assortment of bikes, hayabusa, black bird, tl, gsx1400 etc. The first time I rode a rocket it was a classic - feet forward. The weight was only noticeable when not under power, but the raw power ( it had Jardines) was I deed a surprise. Once you get used to how it handles on bends - it became a really fun bike. I have ridden the new R3r and it's a nice bike - powerful, excellent brakes and handles well. My problem is - I have an R3X 203/500 and it would take one hell of a bike for me to change. I will probably wait until there are bikes chopped in so that someone else has taken the 'hit' £19,500 is a heck of a commitment.

 

A bit late now, but I saved that much on my Street RS by buying it before the end of the year rather than waiting.
I did the same with my Tiger last year as well.
The dealers are coming up to end of year targets and bonuses then and are a lot more amenable to a deal

 

So
You saved 100 pounds a week cos you bought early.

I think I am beginning to see a pattern emerging.

 

Think Im going to go back in and see if they will give me a store voucher or something to have me take it early
I,m on my three months notice to retirement and doing diddly squat so will have loads of free time to ride if the weather is ok

I have no plans in selling the bike so it wont make any difference in the future value
