Rocket Woo Feckin Hoo

Stephensons original plan for his Rocket

 

@dilligaf
What options you going for Dilli?
I have gone for the luggage for Mrs Owl, the extra socket and the single seat insert. Like the look with a single seat.
Also gone for that Bluetooth thing

 

That single seat thingys an optional extra?? Ya gotta be shi77ing me.

 

Well - took the R3X out this afternoon - weather not great, but came to a decision - NO WAY WILL I PART. With my Tors exhaust - the acceleration is earth moving and the sound ( like an American car) just cant be beaten. Yes the brakes are better on the new version - but heck I will fit Brembo. I can put panniers on, sissy bar and she is a GT. Remove pillion seat and she is another bike. The suspension is better on the X - I could not bottom it out. So pleased I got out today and I've saved a huge wedge.....

 

Down the bike show one of triumphs staff told me it came with the bike..... Right that's it I'm doing a ROCKETMAN

 

All options and costs are on the configurator on the Triumph site. They have just updated it but managed to make it worse!

 

Picking it up Wednesday. Yeeehhhaaaa!

 

No much sleep Tuesday night then!

 

Lamonster on the R3 Riders forum has already tidied up the rear end

 

Agreed that does look tidy....

 

They say the new Rocket looks smaller than the old one.

 

You do realise, there will be some serious wear all over that machine if you don’t get it now!
Just by people looking at it....I also think they’ll touch it when the think they can’t be seen .
Worse still, someone might actually swing a leg over!
Ken.
PS. seriously....if it was mine, I’d want it in storage.

 

WHY can’t Triumph think like that?
Ken.

 

If you put a legal plate on - it will foul rear tyre. Also the GT has captives for when the pannier rail is installed. Checked today R3R has different rear section
