this is exactly what i want. something i can chill in and gently twist the throttle and fly. I like that it makes a ton of torque way down low, perfect for those long rides.
This bike really is THE bike for that, it is a very refined bike I'll make some more videos with it next season to hopefully encourage more people to ride one :)
Just an update for everyone for clarification: I think on the video I stated this is the storm tune, I believe I might have mentioned the throttle mapping change( independent of Triumph). However this video is not the Storm tune, and I don’t think the Storm tune was on the bike ever. The new rocket 3 Storms make slightly higher numbers I believe. But just for clarification, this video isn’t the storm tune, but an independent tune. Sorry folks
This is one of the most Iconic bikes that you can buy new nowadays. The power is relevant but the torque , man, makes us crazy of pleasure to ride such a machine. It’s only natural to feel like you do. The risky thing about bikes where you seat so down low is the vision. The bikers vision of the traffic in front, is not the best. And the guys with cars, mainly SUV cars, they say they don’t see us approaching. On a taller bike like a Big ADV bike, it doesn’t happen so often and we have a better view of traffic ahead! Enjoy, man. That bike is a fantastic ride
I have a 2023 Rocket-R, in Ice-Gray and it's the only Bike I ever owned, And Iv'e owned 30 bikes in my lifetime, (I'm 61) that I can honestly say is my Forever Bike. Mine is Stock, and will probably remain so, except maybe a tune, but the stock exhaust just looks so good, and just goes with the bike. And the looks and conversation this bike draws is simply Amazing. Crowds gather around just to gawk at it. Besides that, I like detailing it, and just looking at it.
I did a rolling start slightly downhill and went full throttle first to third. I looked down and was doing 130mph. The main thing is you can go full throttle without doing a wheelie. Most of the time I just Potter around. It took me over a year to try full throttle. It took me a few months to put it sports mode which is where it stays now.
RedMane, 4 months ago I asked the question about raising the pegs. I found the answer. The new 2025 Rocket 3R Storm allows the footpegs to be raised an inch. They come 'factory stocked' at the lower end; but a person could request the peg to be raised to the higher level. The GT version is different because the pegs can not be raised higher; but ONLY horizontally moved...
I was wondering about whether Triumph dealerships would be prepared to load the Storms ECU map into my GT, so awesome to hear there is precedence with your R. I have the exact same Werkes all black exhaust too; amazing sound, looks and love the flames when you open it up🔥. I have the quick-shifter and black 15:56 mid mount pegs too; again, transformation mods that were so worth it. Thanks for sharing mate.
3 quick questions. RedMane, is there any way to raise the foot pegs so that there's more lean without scraping the pegs? Secondly, if you removed that rear license plate holder, do you think water would fling up to your back if you rode it in rain? Lastly, how many miles do you think you'll be able to get from that rear tire? (I'm guessing around 10,000 miles or maybe 11,000 miles)....
Hey there! 1. I’m not positive but I believe that it’s not possible to change the pegs. however looking at it in the garage, I don’t think it’s possible to scrape your pegs. (At least with the mid controls). 2. That’s a great question, i think of you just removed the bracket and did not get a new tail tidy kit under the fender it certainly does look like water might splash up. But some of the kits online look like the come out farther to where it’ll catch any thing. 3. I think it’s possible to get 10k if you’re doing the minimal amount of spirited riding. The problem is with this bike is that it literally destroys the tires from the torque. So I really do think it’s gonna be a toss up. Hoped my responses could help you in anyway
the peg on the R has 2 positions, make sure hour are in the highest position, its not in stock form. Gives you another 10mm if I recall. I ride very spirited (always) with 10000km on with minimal wear, I would guess another 8-10k km. you will get a lot less with TC off, also high tire pressure will reduce life.
It's my only bike and I tour on it, I take it to the track, I pick up groceries. But after over 80,000 miles on my 2020 GT I still get the stupid grin when I peg the throttle and run through the gears with the quick shifter. Oh and I dont even mind traffic, passing is half the fun.
I bought mine new in June 2020, and I only have 7500 miles on mine. Needless to say, I don't ride much. Getting a Bren Tune on it next week, can't wait😲
No it doesn't have DB killers. At first I thought it was ridiculously loud but after a few days on it I love it. It doesn't even sound like the same engine with the Werkes exhaust. The same sounds were happening with the stock pipes just magnified 10 times. My wife said she hears me 5 minutes before I get home.
After watching this i talked to my local triumph dealer in Roswell GA.... They've never heard of being able to upload the storm tune, then i said maybe Ohio is different because you got it done there. So I called Cleveland triumph.... They've never heard of this? There even calling triumph America to verify? They just called back and said it's not even possible as the valves and ECU is different. So maybe you just got a tune, but according to the manufacturer getting the storm tune on a rocket is not possible. This is not my professional opinion I'm just regurgitation what triumph told me.
@@lloydchristmas8282 that’s what we were told. Regardless the storm tune isn’t on this bike at the moment, there’s a completely different tune… so I’m not sure. Maybe we were told some BS? Regardless at the time of this video, I wasn’t REVIEWING the STORM tune. This was the throttle mapping done by the owner of the bike
@@lloydchristmas8282 sorry for any confusion caused by my video. I made this a while ago and I think I cut out the part where I actually said the difference between the tunes. My audio was actually malfunctioning around the part where I talk about the tune, my best guess is that I just cut around it. Regardless thanks for finding that out for other people reading through here. Honestly I think I miss spoke!
@@Rossiiride It's no problem, I have my Werkes on the way and I was looking for the best tune option. Some say get a dyno tune, some say BT Moto, and some say just get the Tune ECU..... I don't know what to do...
@@lloydchristmas8282 you’re gonna absolutely love that exhaust. It’s wild! I think BT moto is great but I think if you want to preserve your engine maybe a dynotune would be the best. I don’t think you can go wrong with either! Good luck to you 👍
I have a bunch of bikes. Some are significantly quicker/faster, but it is hard to beat this bike as a daily rider. The tune and weight savings from dropping the exhaust just really unleash it. I've never ridden such a restricted bike in stock form. I enjoy this so much more than my past Diavels. It always has power no matter what the RPM and is so comfy to ride. People really should put this bike on their shopping list.
That’s awesome!! This bike is definitely under the radar for some people, I’m gonna make some more videos with this bike to hopefully shine the light on it a bit more. Thanks for watching

Never rode anything like it so I purchased my 2022 GT 3. It is a true legend.

Which screen you have on your R?
Congrats to Triumph for making something special! The smiles and laughs are all you need to see and hear. Holy 💩💩💩💩 is right! Cheers 🥃🥃
Triumph has stepped their game up huge. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, the exhaust is wild, glad you like yours!!
180bhp, 225Nm torque Storm addiction, the supercharged version is even more bizarre.
Reflash works just as well on stock exhaust stock muffler not restrictive
yea other than weight savings I think it is just preferences, some tunes need different back pressure so it mostly depends on how you want it to run

Who did tune on your bike ? I need this on my rocket !!!! So awesome
My local triumph dealer tuned the bike with an up map, the new storm models come with higher performance numbers. So basically it’s just a mini flash.
@@Rossiiride how much they asked for the ecu flashing?
Just use BT Moto to tune the bike. Better tune then the storm with the BT Moto tune.
@@superdacoolman this is true. This is the next step for the bike
@@Rossiiride Storm tune 180hp and BT Moto tune 200+hp.
Can we get a cool Ross pov
Who put the Storm tune on it??
@@mikefredbass a triumph in Cleveland
@@Rossiiride
That’s where I bought my Rocket GT from!
Thanks!
Have mine tuned to the same level, same exh and bike colour, much much better, responsive and with TC permanently off its serious fun.

How much have your valve adjustments cost you? And we're they out of spec?
Don't be scared homie. 😮
Did you have the db killers in the exhaust?
No it doesn't have DB killers. At first I thought it was ridiculously loud but after a few days on it I love it. It doesn't even sound like the same engine with the Werkes exhaust. The same sounds were happening with the stock pipes just magnified 10 times. My wife said she hears me 5 minutes before I get home.
put a grill guard on it looks like whitetail country
Good exhaust sound. Actually sounds like an engine, not a plugged up vacuum cleaner.

So what size is this engine 150 ci?
Pretty much, yeah. 2458cc. Three cylinders though! 🤪
The Rocket 3 R ruined all other bikes for me, so much, I've sold my RN65 R1 for one, Nothing compares even close to it!
Not sure I dig the exhaust but the camera mic probably ruins it.
Definitely sounds like a beast.
I thought the exact same thing until I heard it in person
This bike is like buggati or rolls Royce equivalent :)
That is kinda what I thought too! Thanks for watching!
needs a vtwin sound and it would be the ultimate cruiser
The amount of tar snakes on this road has basically made it unsafe to ride.
Bro that bike is shexy

Question: are you able to put the foot paddles more in the front like a chopper?
@@2face229 that’s the GT model where the controls are in the front and the bars are swept back more
You can put the foot pegs up front on all models.
