I have to say, Im a Brit and personally this is the best review I've seen to date because they're either one bike or the other or if one after another don't spend enough time showing the aesthetic differences, more how comfortable it is compared to the R, after a few reviews your the only one that showed that the pegs are interchangeable etc. Which I was trying to find out for a while, obviously reviews are subjective but this was great, cheers. Oh, and what an awesome machine.
@@CaliMotoTV I completely agree with Jay Morris. Good job!
and that's how you do a detailed review "showing the bike" not yourself, thanks man!! great job
@Pedro Dylan Definitely, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
I’m a100% cruiser rider and never been interested in a Triumph until this baby. Their first cruiser. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘
AT last!! Probably the best walk round and review I've seen & I've watched loads as I have a GT Model on order in the U.K. The only SMALL criticism I have is - all these roads test (esp in the USA) take place on freeways and in town traffic. There is hardly any cornering or hills which makes Sport Mode a bit redundant when all everyone does is blip the throttle for quarter of a mile. Other than that, a great review.
I’m far from ready for a bike this substantial but I absolutely guarantee I will own one one day. This is a thing of beauty
i have one -- absolutely love it And i also have a harley VROD -- let me tell you - this bike runs circles around the harley - It's just an amazing ride well designed , well thought out and - well what else can i say by the way -- the phantom black is gorgeous -- you can't see it but in the sun there are blue metallic flakes of paint .
You might be surprised how easy it is to ride.
Thank you for clarifying the forward controls for us. I really would've loved to see how you and your partner felt on the bike.
Mate I liked your precision on minute details of the bike specifications of all the videos I have come across. Keep goin
Great review. Nice pointing out the small details....fold out passenger pegs, movable front pegs, etc. NICE Review!
I like that you told us your height. It puts it into perspective why you find the GT more comfortable. I'm about 4 inches shorter than you; so the mid-controls of the "R" are perfect for me.
This is the best review I have seem on this bike; and I have seen most of them! Good job!
I saw this review when it first posted. It has taken me awhile but I just purchased a 2022 Rocket III GT Triple Black (Limited Edition). Man alive that bike is gorgeous in person.
Wow that's so awesome. Congrats! Meeting those goals, that's great. 🎉
Going to A&S this Friday to test ride a Rocket 3r. I hope the torque hype is real!
This is a quality machine no doubt, one issue however is the pillion accommodation, the seat is small but there may be an alternative out there, but the leg position for the pillion is not good and for a bike this big it should be , this is why I am not in the market for one, a great review however so thank you
Now you truelly deserve to review all the bikes you ride anyone that can make mowing look fun has something
Vibration is actually refered to as forplay....but you can install a vibrating throbber with remote control in the passenger seat...
Truely DETAILED review, thanks bro.
I actually removed the radiator filler cap and its only a decorative item and the actual fill cap is underneath it. The forward controls can be moved (adjusted) 1" forward for taller fellas like myself.
The best would be install both pairs of the pegs. So you can change position if the legs are falling asleep during the long journey
👍
No the gt scrap earlier
RANGE ... no one seems to mention the lack of range for a "Touring" bike. 18L tank with consumption almost 7L/100km. So 250km to empty ... which means filling up every 200-220km. I think the bike is great and I'm looking for a cruiser but the range puts me off a bit. Very surprised that the tank is not say 20L minimum for such a big bike with big engine.
@@CaliMotoTV my rocket 3 gt gets 44 mpg -- that takes me from clearwater florida where i live all the way past Ocala florida where i filled up with 3 gallons and finished all the way up to jacksonville florida with half a tank of gas left -- so tell me , a 225 mile trip and you don't plan on stopping at least once for a piss break -- C'mon people -- this guy that made the comment is just looking for something to pick at . I get heads turning EVERYWHERE I ride this bike people are amazed at the beauty . By the way , my 44 mpg was obtained while averaging 80- 85 mph cruising speeds .
This is not a touring bike.
@@WaldoWizard ----> What engine RPM do you upshift at to get 44 mpg?
I'm wondering who will be the first one to make a rear license plate/turn signal/mud guard delete option for these bikes?
I really like those rear guards. They leave the tail looking so clean.
IT'S ALREADY OUT THERE 100 BUCKS AND THE DEALER WILL PUT IT ON FOR 100 MORE -- SOME COMPANY OUT IN OREGON-- CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL TRIUMPH -- OR CALL MY TRIUMPH DEALER IN TAMPA FLORIDA FOR THE DETAILS
Is the windshield actually functional? Lipoma rather small
Are there aftermarket options for bigger ones?
Yes, and yes.
Triumph marketed this bike based on figures on 'PAPER' , I look forward to the day when this bike is compared in every way possible to a 1700 v-max.
As an American bike rider since 93 why am I so perplexed about all of these creature comforts and the power out of the box? Im really just introducing myself to anything that does not say HD on it... I still love HD but really appreciate what BMW, Triumph and even Ducati is doing. Still don't get Honda, Suzuki or Kawasaki.. LOL
Lol at the challenger trying to fly up. Driver has no idea this bike goes 0-60 in under 3 seconds 😂😂😂😂
I think this bike will beat the hellcat with a good rider
once I become better rider I'm getting this beast. GT in black... pure awesomeness 😌
Great video, got me wanting one....
Hello . I saw your 2 reports on the Rocket 3 R/GT. Excellent reporting as usual. I have a question for you . You showed us the 2 versions of the Rocket 3 , are you going to report on the second version of the Streetfighter , the V4 ? No one is talking about it , is it that bab on the road !? Is il really necessary to buy the version S which is the most expansive ? Good continuation in what you do !
Which one would you go for the r or the gt version ? Cali moto tv
Nice detailed review 👍
Hey , thank you for the great review . What do you think about GT for someone who is 175 cm . Will it cut it ? Particularly worried about the forward controls and yourself being 6’ 2” is way taller ..
great review man!!
An excellent review thanks, but i'm not sure about the sunglasses!!
I want to know how to engine transmission by the shaft or chain
great video, thanks
Nice review
Do let us know who's the heat management on the Rocket 3
Wow triumph hit a homerun! My God that's impressive!
When I heard the exhaust notes, it had a little more bass 🤔
🥂 HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020 🥂
That heat from engine is manageable under city ride conditions? I have bit of city ride as well and my major concern is the heat from that massive engine.
Great video and I think I have seen all videos and tough to decide between the R and GT. I’m 5’8 and I have my 13 year old giving me company at times as a pillion. I was thinking of buying the R and then slowly upgrading it to a GT. My fear is the excitement of a R will be n lost in a GT.. what do you think
Cali Moto TV thanks buddy. Appreciate your reply
Does the windscreen makes a difference compared to the r with none? I'm deciding between these two
hows that wind shield? does it block the wind for you? or is it more for the looks?
4:04 I`m thinking that`s gotta be a 4 piston caliper.
this is ultimate bike for man.
Absolutely! Rachel Maddow owns one.
1-20-20 @ 2045 hrs. Can you turn the mirrors upside down so they look better?
I keep thinking. Buy the R and move the pegs to the forward position and boom - GT
dont work ...they are different
You won’t get that nice seat and sissy bar for the wifey
The bars are differnet too.
You did not mention heat coming off the engine. Was there a lot of heat?
NO PROBLEM -- IT'S NOT AS BAD AS U WOULD THINK -- ANY EXHAUST WILL BURN YOU IF YOU STICK YOUR TONGUE ON IT LOL
at 1:43 the front tire size is 160, than at 6:29 it changes to a 150.... which is it?
Personally I prefer metal-shinny and chromed bike looks ranging from handle bar, wheels to drive shaft, etc. Today most bike manufacturers have adopted the black-out design theme for most bike models to please younger buyers. I wish they can go back to the old days with a lot of shinny chrome parts incorporated into their bike design.
@@CaliMotoTV I want chromed wheels, handle bar, drive shaft, and every other engine components in this bike. Triumph, please come up with a special version just like the 2020 Bonneville T120 Diamond version.
I ride a Harley road king and I'm thinking about one for my collection?
Harley who I say!
Yeah I had Harleys. I'm 67 and owned 42 bikes since 1970. Harley is not in this league. Not even close. Any of them.
This may be an apples to orange comparison, but how do you feel this compares to the BMW K1600b? They both have about the same horsepower, cruising capabilities, and around the same price. Let me know your thoughts.
@@CaliMotoTV I was thinking that too. Seems like the BMW offers more for the same price. It just doesn't have the wow factor like the R3GT. That's been a hard decision for me lately lol.
@@CaliMotoTV thank you for the response. I enjoyed the review.
Quickshifter! What’s the fun of it?
where is the link for the IPCU display???
You forgot those cool hideaway back seat pegs
They're shown at 7:25.
Front tyre is 150/80 17"
BEAST!! Monster! Too much. Should be illegal. I think Mr. Max is 2nd place now.
I don't think it is in top end, not sure but this thing is awesome, but it's a different machine doing a different Job, especially the GT Obviously many sportsbikes are quicker than the Vmax. This thing is in a class on it's own. I'd love to see this fully dressed, I hope they do it otherwise Corbin will probably make front fairing etc. it will look awesome. Cos Corbin did a great fairing for the old R3, it looked factory. I'm rambling cos I'm excited seeing this thing.
Purchased the Rocket 3 GT Feb 9, 2024. It's faster than anything I have rode. There is a vid with a test rider at 235mph. Torque is a beast. @@jaymorris3468
Put money aside for speeding tickets. LOL, sweet bike.
i mounted a uniden r3 radar detector on mine -- no lie !
an r3 detector on an r3 rocket lol
Very nice, I want it lol.
Aging riders who desire power with comfort, Triumph delivers. Aging riders who like to clearly see the display and manipulate its features... go way bigger next year... or even better immediately as a retrofit for 2020. Young engineer's almost never take into consideration the realities of the aging biker. You know, the one's that can actually afford the product being presented?
I think that is a nice bike
How do you compare it to the 1260 Diavel?
You can ride triumph all day diavel you can't my money on rocket.
Which aftermarket exhaust system will suit rocket 3
A very expensive one
@@SirSpinalColumn 😅
Is there a difference in power between the r and the gt
No, there is not. It is the same engine, transmission and power train.
The biggest motorcycle engine in the world, so we don't have to talk about power
@@CaliMotoTV Great video
Did I see hydraulic clutch? My Yamaha Raider 1900 has it and I wouldn’t go back. And sorry but Ducati is and will always be a sport bike. They would give it to me and I will sell it right away without trying it. Lot of power with a drive shaft. Imagine if it was belt driven.
Excellent quality video but f##k those bloody ads that totally disrupt the flow of your review. Not sure why someone found it necessary to blur out the instrument cluster, but. . . . Anyway, who in the world is complaining about the price? Go price the Milwaukee stuff. The Rocket III has always been a comparative bargain in the "bruiser cruiser" class. I've owned 2 R3's so far and love 'em to death. The new ones unfortunately are just a little too "Buck Rogers" for me so I may just keep riding my R3 Touring for a while, "tiny" 2300cc motor and all (STILL bigger than the Milwaukee stuff).
What's the top speed ?
I just bought the GT on Feb 9, 2024. I hit 105mph in third. The book says 145mph. I think it is well over 200mph.
You need to take it easy on the caffeine Bill.
@@CaliMotoTV it was easy to tell you were hopped up on a French roast. Anyway, the Rocket 3 GT is an awesome bike. Triumph has a real winner.
Where I live this bike costs 37,000$, and the Panigale 52,000$
8fot here in Montreal it’s about $27000.00
Where do you live?
Imagine the service costs
@@CaliMotoTV not really-- after the first service - cost me about 400 -- there's no more needed until 10,000 miles-- and Dont forget unlike the harleys out there , your rocket runs on regular unleaded gas -- thats enough right there to save you on the service . The rear tire will cost you 300 and i already have a spare for my bike just in case As far as service being expensive -- heck -- you just bought a 22000 dollar machine , if ya cant service it , then shame, shame
@@WaldoWizard The TFT indicates the 10,000 service period. It is amazing. Faster than a NASCAR. It is up there with IRL. Over 220mph.
Prefiero los modelos anteriores
At 650 pounds.. this is lighter than a Thunderbird Storm then?
Cali Moto TV maybe you should google “rhetoric”. For yourself.
Awesome bike, with just one potential deal breaker flaw, all reviews I have seen so far have been in cold weather, rider geared up accordingly, but when the summer heat gets here and you are cruising at lower speeds through urban traffic, stopping at traffic lights, those cool looking header pipes being that close to your right leg is bound to get really HOT and uncomfortable, just sayin....
I LIVE IN FLORIDA -- BEEN IN THE 90S SINCE MAY -- my legs still have hair on them lol -- and by the way sometimes i even wear cutoff jeans to accomodate my biker boots .// rocket 3 gt owner
That wasn’t a transmission guard bro. Wtf.
Top speed??
I'VE done 136 on my R3GT with plenty to spare Not even close to redline I think i was about 5200 and redline is past 6 grand . I LOVE MY ROCKET
roger mckenner How do you find the exhaust? Seems rather quiet to me... researching good options but not much out yet. Good reliability, etc?
UPDATE I'VE NOW DONE 141 MPH ON IT
@@dschimp HEY THERE DUSTIN-- THE EXHAUST IS MUCH QUIETER THAN THE VROD I JUST SOLD-- BUT-- IT'S ALSO A LOT FASTER HAHA AND MORE POWEREFUL . THERE IS AN EXHAUST OUT THERE THAT I'M WAITING FOR TRIUMPH DEALERS TO OKAY-- BY THAT I MEAN THAT THEY WILL PUT IT ON THE DYNO AND IF IT PASSES THEN IT WILL BE ALRIGHT TO HAVE INSTALLED WITHOUT LOSING THE WARRANTY-- THIS EXHAUST IS CALLED COMP WERKS AND IT CAN BE BOUGHT FROM A COMPANY IN CALIFORNIA CALLED STAR RACING I BELIEVE . SELL S FOR 1049 -- A LITTLE PRICEY , BUT WILL GIVE IT A NICE RUMBLE-- YOU WILL HAVE TO GET THE DEALER TO DO AN UPDATE ON THE ECU THO -- I HEARD THAT ONE GUY INSTALLED IT HIMSELF AND WAS COMPLAINING THAT HE COULD ONLY GET UP TO 115 MPH . I LOVE THE RELIABILITY -- NO ISSUES AT ALL IN 7 AND A HALF MONTHS RIDING . VERY COMFORTABLE TOO . RUNS ON REGULAR 87 OCTANE , SO SAVE AT THE PUMP - MY VROD RAN ON 93 AND ONLY GOT 25 MPG . THE ROCKET GETS 44 AS LONG AS I KEEP IT UNDER 90 MPH HEHE !
No centre stand? Fail, cannot buy it.
You dont need one its shaft!
R or gt ??? If my height is 5 feet 10 inches and i weigh 90kg
@@CaliMotoTV in india we only got the r will wait for the gt then 🙂
the worse angle of the bike, why!?. Good review tho.
I had previous version ( I bought brand new ). It was most comfortable and most shitty bike I had. Battery was not good enough, leaking break fluid from day 1. Problems with second gear. Noisy brakes. And best of the best, you cannot use kill switch ( red button ) to turn off the engine. If you accidentally did it, you were risking computer failure. My rocket had to be taken to the service twice because of this. British motorbike - no thank you.
Need to learn how to spell British.had triumph speedtriple 11 years 45000 miles never had a issue.had Ducati it bankrupted me.
@@helenloughton2418 I have just learned how to spell British, thank you for paying attention. But my mistake is nothing compared to errors in the electronics in BRITISH motorcycle.
I had the original Rocket 3 for almost 8 years.The best bike I ever had.Had 67000km on the clock,still original battery.Then I bought HD fat boy,no
Haha block how fast your going
🤷♂️
That thing is a motor with two wheels. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
