Well we've completed our test and review of the Rocket..... and feeling pretty mixed about it. Some good points and some not so good. Such an unusual bike thought this might be of interest to everyone.. Love looking at it in the garage though.:biggrin: Review: http://bigbikemad.com/triumph-rocket-iii--bigbikemad-review.html Video clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC6ImAi_iRc America and Thunderbird next...

interested in what you say about the T-bird...i was on the verge of buying an absolutely mint one, and had a change of heart right at the last second and bought my Bonnie.... I'd like to know what i'm missing out on :biggrin:
Yes, that will be interesting. If you read the review you'll see that we wondered if the whole concept of the Rocket was flawed. The T-Bird on the other hand, is a better match of Triumph heritage and the actual needs of cruiser riders. We think it will be much more successful than the Rocket in winning American riders away from Harleys. Above all it will sound like a cruiser should, which the Rocket sadly doesn't. Mind you the engine was awesome.. Test bike now for sale... HH
