Yes excellent job, but £16 000 for it is far far too much. I'm not sure how you can justify that amount. Edit, it seems they are less than £8000 so the Bike Specialist sales bloke was over egging the pudding on that score.

@@SoulTouchMusic93 Imagine a legendary motorcycle, the Triumph Rocket 3, that doesn’t just run on fuel but on pure exhilaration and adventure. This beast of a bike has a unique feature: for every mile you ride, it generates a smile. With its powerful engine and sleek design, the Rocket 3 ensures that every journey is an unforgettable experience. As you twist the throttle and feel the roar of the engine, the bike’s “smileometer” keeps track of the smiles per gallon (SPG). With an impressive 32.43 SPG, this motorcycle guarantees that every gallon of fuel translates into 32.43 moments of pure joy. Whether you’re cruising down the open road or carving through winding mountain passes, the Rocket 3 promises to keep you grinning from ear to ear. So, gear up and hit the road, because with 32.43 smiles per gallon, every ride on the Triumph Rocket 3 is a thrilling adventure filled with happiness and excitement! 🏍😄
I'm not a biker so why RUclips recommended this to me, I've no idea. However, this was one of the most fun things I've watched in ages, and I admit that I would love a go on one of these.
I have a non supercharged rocket 3GT and can only imagine what what it's like basically doubling it's power. Absolutely insane! And I also see that it doesn't matter what side of the pond you're on, it makes you giggle and grin like a kid. Great job guys
I'd love to ride that bike out the Bonneville Salt Flats. I rode a 260 rwhp older Rocket 3 at Bonneville in 2023 on a water logged course three times and made it to the 3rd run before it chucked me off. In 2024 I rode a 2021 Rocket 3 out there basically stock except ECU derestriction and we got a record in our class. I expect 340 rwhp on this bi,bike, on the salt might get 180 mph. Traction and aerodynamics are what would hold it back on the salt. The radiator is a huge sail and there isn't any place to hide at speed.
I was on vacation in britain, and just so happened to be at the Bike Specialists when Chris was on this ride. We heard this monster coming from 3 blocks away.
I've ridden the Rocket 3 and it definitely needed more bhp but...Wow...! Dream of such a bike... But over £40k new and £30k second hand.... Very sizable amount of money.
I ride a 2013 cbr 600f. My father rides the Rocket 3 TFC. The ease with which he pulls away from me in any gear and the comfort of him doing it has always fascinated me. Dad- twists the accelerator and he is gone. Me- drops 2 gears, hugs the bike and try to keep up
A mates of mines Dad who stands about 5'0" tall built exactly one of these years and years ago here in Queensland Australia except it was supercharged and intercooled and made 388hp at the back wheel I saw him ride it once when we went for a ride and it was literally smoking the back tyre whilst doing a wheelie it was absolutely nuts...
As a lifelong Metallica fan, since they hit the scene in 83,,,, And having owned a 290hp Turbo Blackbird which was superfun.... i do love that comment about putting your ears inside the speakers at a Metallica concert and tell them to, go 4 it😂😂😂😂😂 What an epic comment👌
Great review Chris, not a lot said but load's of laughter, which means it was pretty good in your books. I had been wondering whether the bike Specialist would have one in stock and I'm glad they did just too get your reaction once you rode it: thanks for sharing.
Bloody Marvellous - Great review Chris, I have never heard so many ‘beeps’ in one of your videos!!👌🏻😂😎 And I really like what you boys are doing at the Bike Specialists! 👍🏻 The TR3 is design statement with awesome performance as standard - This is absolutely mental, love it🎸
Seems like a dangerous bike. I think one needs a lot of hours on it to tame it. The dangerous part is taking unwillingly to much speed into a corner because the bike is so heavy and harder to slow down for the right corner speed. It absolutely looks like a beast :)
‼️‼️ Good testament to channel ‼️‼️ So totally not my kinda thing but …… because realising it was bike world , you know it’s gonna be good any way. THANKS (Edit 3 minutes in) BRILLIANT 🙏🍩 Love from Scotland 🍩🙏
Awesome video, this is the proper muscle of the bike world, the engine in Triumph Rocket 3 is just monster😂😂. Chris great video, you should get one and properly MadMax it😊❤❤
I don't think any designer ever thought this bike would be used in the twisties. But if it is controllable (is it?, video doesn't really say) it looks like a Vmax on steroids. Easy to get around town with a mature throttle hand, real fun at on ramps and straight aways.
Funny to see Chris finally intimidated by something who could kill you in any gear 😂 Lovely to hear you wisely pondering and cautiously applying throttle at every opportunity 😅 It wasn’t me, that sounds familiar to me 😂
When the original rocket was being conceived , the rumours in the press were rife , at the time triumph put a 1600 engine in it , the road tests were saying it’s ok but it’s a bit underpowered , next time at the testing ground they had the 2300 engine in and the test riders wrote 3 of them off testing them , they said that’s it just perfect , credit to triumph , totally not my kind of bike , at the time I had a blackbird , Honda 954 and a hornet 600 , ordered a rocket , one of the first to have one , if I parked it anywhere there’d be a queue of 10 biker in a line , waiting to ask me questions , mister , what’s it like , is it heavy , is it fast ,does it handle , I’d always answer the same ,the answer to is yes to all 4 questions , it was an epic bike and I still own it today , it was always so planted and you actually could hurl the thing around , 👍👍🏍🏍
For those asking about torque… Despite what the factory may claim, the stock bike produces around 150 ft/lb at the wheel. This bike produces 263 ft/lb at the wheel on the same dyno AND produces more torque at 2,500rpm than the stock bike does at peak torque. Let that sink in for a minute. Hence, Chris was right, the gear lever will be kinda superfluous!
Are you planning on doing an episode on that 1098s (or 1198s can't tell) that peaks out in the background every time? Ik it might not be as exclusive as some you have done but would love to see your take on it !
@@jasonsandy8759 I made the same joke as well here, but made it more obvious. If this guy was kidding, then he did it in a really weird and believable way. Now fuck off
BikeWorld, if you had your choice between Rocket 3, as an everyday bike, and a M1000R/Superduke 1390 Evo, which bike would you chose as your daily bike?
@@BIBuildy Every bike is a good beginner bike if you're willing to put in the class time, as well as the seat time, so long as you're strong enough to hold on and lift it off the stand. haha
Hey Chris, I really love your reviews! Any updates on your review of the Kove 450 and CF Moto 450? Really looking forward to your thoughts on these bikes!
They've done a fantastic job integrating that supercharger with the engine. It looks like it was designed from conception to carry the blower.
Yes excellent job, but £16 000 for it is far far too much. I'm not sure how you can justify that amount.

Kawasaki: We put a supercharger on a liter bike. We must be mad.

A crazy bike. But if you can't accelerate without spinning up it's gonna cost a fortune in tyres! I love it👍👍😂
ill stick with my ZH2 that doesnt look like it will corner well at speed lol.....what weight is the rocket ?
what makes it so insane stock is the Torque. What does this one have?
We need a supercharged Vmax 1700 next!
Please do a CarWoW drag race with this beast!
I'm sure it would smoke 95% of their already bonkers portfolio!
need that zx12r ride too
Englands version of the American Boss Hoss.
But 100 times better built
Love mine.
Beautiful and insane!
Wonder what it does the 1/4 mile in.
I remember the time when the newest bikes had 100HP. Everybody thought that that is completely ridiculous...
Is the buell hammerhead on your radar?
Is it similar to a Boss Hoss to ride?
Paint coming of exhaust already!!

Where can I see the full test?
Looks so much fun but i got enough points tho i couldnt be trusted to be good on it
Redonkulous!
I don't know why. But I want more motorcycles to have superchargers. Now I want to see how they did it
That's behaving like an offroad motocross bike on wet mud the way it is spinning up that rear tyre 🤣
Nice bike. There are more powerful 500bhp Hayabusa's out there, so this can't be that mental!
Look at torque at your Busa and Rocket. You will se the difference
How long for the rear tire ?😅
Road gets real small real fast lol
Maybe put a 2 stage nitrous kit on it for track days
Nice! But I don’t think anyone will use that power on the streets!
Plz install a Bigger Wind Shield ..means ..for better Aerodynamics
