    I'll be running a higher horsepower GT version of the new Rocket 3 version at the Bonneville Salt Flats this August. Besides the tire speed rating, the aerodynamics and the ability to hang on will be limiting. Hopefully the salt won't be a water puddle this year like last year.

      @@jimanders9971 i reckon tyres are one reason as you can wreck a back tyre quickly. Go on the bright side as a car tyre goes a good 15k miles and it still handles really well ive heard. What a great, solid, under stressed, strong AF engineand gearbox, especially after 2007. What bargains the rocket 3, thunderbird 1600 and 1700s are secondhand, theyll go to und the clock in miles and 40 mpg and that low down stomp is crazy, especially as its standard, detunes and 340 plus bhp out of TTS supercharger and rediculous torque too means head cases only apply and i imagine those BLUE Angels from Glasgow would fit the profile as does the Bar, loony, undesirables, eccentrics label theyre famous for and Glasgow and the citys history.

    My 2016 Triumph Rocket III is highly modified & highly customized with 12:1 compression, 260hp & 190ft/lbs of torque. 18" apehanger handlebars, and forward foot controls, etc. 0-60 in -2.3sec and the 1/4 mile in -9.6sec @ 138mph. Blacked out, murdered out. A Beast, and an Utter Blast to ride. It will make the most seasoned rider giggle😂
    I simply can't ride it enough. I have to replace tires every 3000mi, front & rear. The cost is utterly ridiculous for these tires😢 But worth it!😅

      I folded up a 2013 Rocket 3 at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2023, it was 260 horsepower. The salt was very wet and the bike had a bad weave but still we had a 162 and 164 mph runs before crashing on the the third run. It wasn't my bike and my first ride was at 162 mph. This year I'll be taking a 2021 Rocket 3 out there again this year but with only 165 horsepower.

      317Kg!! Holy dead weight Batman 😲, that is a serious lump of iron to throw around! Straight line performance to die for without a doubt plus the comfort a sports bike rider can only dream of. It may well handle well "for it's size" but a sports hack it ain't and never pretends to be of course. I guess it all depends how high you set the bar through the twisties. Not really my bag at all but I can see the appeal to some, just as a SOTA 200+hp sports bike pulling 100+Kg less will appeal to others.

    Love your videos Chopsy.
    Still love my TFC launch edition with the higher power output after 4 years. The first bike I’ve kept for more than 2 years and I have no intention of changing it for anything else. I’ve added the Nitron suspension and it makes a huge difference to the rear in particular. Also needs an aftermarket exhaust for the sound that matches the rest of the bike.
    Folks still come up and ask about it. Tell them it’s 2.5 litres and watch their mouth drop 😝

    I had a red Rocket 3R... then I moved to a Diavel V4.. I remember watching your comparison video while I was waiting for it to arrive. I started missing the Rocket watching your review of both bikes. Wondering if I made a giant mistake. Well now I am back on a Chrome Rocket 3R. For me Diavel the was a let down in every category I cared about. Comfort, Torque off the line, build quality and reliability... did I mention I also am done with chain maintenance at this point in my life? I am glad I came across your channel your enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks for the great content. Did you feel a substantial power difference in the Storm Edition tune ?

    LambChop, I showed my wife the 2024 Hayabusa 25th anniversary, 2024 Ducati Diavel V4 and then the Rocket 3 Storm, and she said she loves the look of the Rocket 3 Storm much better than the other two bikes. My wife loves that 'masculine' look to the Rocket 3 Storm; not that the other 2 bikes are not masculine; but she feels that the Rocket is a level or two above the other 2 bikes... Hmmm......her tastes are normally spot on, I'll have to trust her on this one...hehehe Once you put on an exhaust and flash the ECU that number goes up to around 187 horses. Theoretically, that bike should be able to hit 180 mph on the road...

    Having looked into it, it looks like the only aftermarket exhaust where an effort has been made to sculpt it like the original, is a Zard.
    There seems to be a lot of talk that the sweet spot is the GT fitted with mid pegs. The wheels look better on the GT.

    The weight-horsepower its the limit in my mind...

    Hey, at like 16:48'ish, is that EVEN MORE exhaust under the shaft on the port side? It can't be, but it looks like another outlet, does it not? Like a dump tube. What is it really?

    • @PatrickJWenzel
      @PatrickJWenzel 4 месяца назад

      You guessed right! Three cylinders, each with their own exhaust pipe - two on the right, one on the left

      I don't fancy paying 4500 for an aftermarket Akrapovic to make it sound decent though. Stock sounds really poor. (I know most bikes do nowadays...) A werkes system for the Rocket is around 1500-ish.

      I like the Diavel looks too but a friend has had two. First was amazing. He changed to a Diavel S and had nothing but trouble with it - electrics.

      That is infinitely up to personal taste. It just is.
      And for me personally, the Rocket looks so much better. But that's just me.

    I have a 2020 R3R and I absolutely love it. It's exactly how you describe....and I have to say..... As a bike journalist, you are head and shoulders above the rest, because you explain the characteristics so well.👌👍

  • @78Outlaw
    @78Outlaw 4 месяца назад

    More weight, yes
    Loved my 3R but what this tells me is just how good the 2020 Rocket is, the extra power is just a remap and 8kgs lighter wet overall than the Storm despite the wheels, 🚀 and still no ‘quick shift’ TSA on demo bike, a shame
    Bikes being mapped in US to 200hp,
    Interestingly the first TFC had more power and lighter

    Awesome video! I live in North Carolina and ride the Blue Ridge Parkway which is a motorcycle destination. I have never seen a Rocket out. I have actually seen a Motus MST-R . Which is rare. Beautiful bike as well. Best!

    Great review & bike. I'm not in to cruisers either but this is something altogether different & you can't not see the appeal. It's a uniquely bonkers machine that probably shouldn't exist but thankfully does.The Diavel's probably the only standard bike that comes close.

  • @MrAndrew1953

    Love to see one of these with the blue/black paint scheme and a set of Harley Davidson Chizle (sic) bars. Not a fan of forward controls. I’d definitely add a backrest for a pillion- no you can’t slide off the back pet!
    The ultimate shaft drive cruiser.

    Nearly all traditional inline 3's are "cross-plane" by design. Unless this is using the Triumph T-plane design.. Yamaha just likes to use the trickle down reference calling their engines CP3 and CP2s.

    A soft limiter? If you can safely ride a 180hp bike are you really the kind of person who needs that?
    Love the bike though.

    This bike looks like something Judge Dredd would ride !. Definitely different and interesting to look at. Not for me , first the price and the weight of this beast make it a no go for me. Not my dream bike but I’m sure it will find its way into the hearts of many who want something different.

    The leg splaying is welcomed on long rides during hot weather here in Texas, USA. With the right pants, it's a bit like air conditioning.

    I love these bike and have wanted one since their launch but I can't get over the price point and the fact that you don't get it fully loaded as standard, ridiculous you have to fork out more for standard features in just about every other bike at this price, quick shifter, heated grips etc.

    Chops, they already had a rocket with 180hp before this one, when they launched the new model, the first version out was the TFC (triumph factory custom) that bike had 180hp, after that they brought out the R and GT with 165hp...do your research m8....😅
