A review on the mighty triumph rocket 3,the biggest most expensive bike ive ever ridden !! PLEASE LIKE,SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE THANKS music by bensound.com
I do appreciate your real world, no nonsense reviews. They get better as time passes by, and in this review it's nice to see you didn't (like many other reviewers) get carried away by this behemoth of a bike...
Love mine! Never breaks a sweat - effortless on power and effortless to ride..... A massive improvement over my last Rocket and smoother than my 1700 Vmax.
Took a GT out on Saturday and agree 100% with your review. Best bike I have ever ridden and so easy to ride. Placed my order and hoping to get mine early Feb. Roll on summer!
Hey Mark, Another great review, keep it up. I'm a new subscriber looking to get back into bikes after a 17 year break. (Last bike was a 1998 ZX6R). Not sure I'd start with this rocket but I'd love to have one as a summer cruiser
Hey Mark. Great review, mate! I am intrigued by this bike for sure. You seemed to get on pretty well with it and got it off the stand and moving around with ease, so that pretty much suppresses the talk of it being "too much" bike from the physical end of it. I did enjoy your reactions while riding as well! It makes me want to set up a test with my dealer and see what it's all about. I currently ride a '17 Trophy SE and a '14 Victory Vision, bikes that I absolutely love. Can the Rocket replace one of them? I don't know, I kind of doubt it. But you never know. This is why we test! So thanks again making this piece. Oh, and I agree with others, it was nice to actually see you. One could say it was "nice to meet you"! Cheers.
Have ordered the GT..due here in NZ late March...have got 2018 Rocket will keep it...these bikes are the most Exciting machine you can ever ride.....one never really understands what torque even means until you plant your ass on these machines..excellent review...cheers mate
A Triumph was my very first bike when I was a teen... a 500cc bike built out of 3 wrecked TT racers. t cost me all of $250.00 and was a sheer joy to ride back then. Looking that this behemoth...a Triumph is likely to be my "last" bike.
Hi Mark, Nice review, I've been contemplating one of these for 18mths now. I've had the previous gen rockets 4 infact..but now time to get one of these. I have gone for the gt and l get it at the end of November wrong time to get it you may say but at least l can look at it till summer! Lol Cheers Mark.
Hi Mark. We spoke at the launch on Sat. Also 5'7" and confirm a doddle to ride. I took it through town and country and clutch is excellent. Agree with all your comments. Nice real world test.
Not a fan of the cruiser style bike in general but this is something else. Looked round one at the NEC and the built quality is amazing. Probably never own due to the price but it's one added to the list of bikes I cant afford 😀. Good review.
Great review a man that understands the way this bike is meant to be ridden. I think it's ridiculous when people jump on and are pegging the tach alot.
I must have subscribed to you after you made this video, Mark. Back in 2010, I test rode a Mk1 Roadster in Essex and wanted to buy it, but I was moving to Portugal, so I put it on hold. I like the Mk 2 R even better. I found the original bike very manageable, despite it being 40 kg heavier than this. I would dearly love to buy an R. I don't regard it as being over the top as I remember the old one as being so easy to ride slowly. The new bike is much more economical, another reason to get one, eh, Mark?
@@markpulling12I was suggesting you do, Mark. Although I want one, too. To whet your appetite and illustrate what these bikes are capable off - if you're crazy enough - watch the following RUclips video: 88 Racing - Rocket 3 R in northeast India.
@jimmy Van rossen You have good taste hahah. I think black is the best colour for the bike. I'm loving it. Really refined and totally effortless, the quality of design and manufacter only really becomes evident when you have it after a while. Enjoy your new bike, you'll love it
Why not? I can imagine a big guy with a big paycheck, wanting a big bike. BTW, I live in Kansas. My friend at church is from Yorkshire Gardens and his parents still live there. Cheers!
I have been contemplating a Harley Fat Boy 114. Rode one not long ago and found it to be not the best on twisty roads. It has to be coached with effort into turns. But after reading and watching videos (such as yours) on the Triumph Rocket R I definitley have to find a Dealer where I can test ride one to compare. I kinda of like the over all looks of the Fat Boy over the Rocket. And I have a feeling the Fat Boy will hold its value better or not. The main negative in looks in regard to the Rocket, IMO, is the rear end of the Bike. I currently own a 2015 Harley Super Low 1200T and a 2016 Motto Guzzi V7 II Stone.
Nice review Mark as usual. How can such a large and heavy motorcycle not have a main stand is beyond me, plus once again like most motorcycles today a very poor effort for a pillion seat as though no one is supposed to ride two up anymore just merely an afterthought I think.
Mark, Thanks for making your review. Although it's a bike I wouldn't buy, I none the less enjoyed your review very much, so much so, I didn't want it to end! I wonder how much a new back tyre would be? Gulp. Hope you are enjoying your Explorer 1200. Many thanks again, Alex. Ps I have the same jacket as you and like it a lot.
@@alexmorgan3435 I've ridden it quite a bit actually ,the heated seat ,grips and huge screen make it a joy to ride even in the cold temp's and I just love the triple engine
@@markpulling12 ACF50 then if you ride in winter. I like mine shaken not stirred, no ice and lemon. Seriously though Triumph does a very nice triple engine. I like the sound of my Sprint 1050 just wish it wasn't so high so I'm on tippy toes.
That looks nice I have shared the video to my father inlaw would love him to get one 20k is a bit though be nice to have it for bike for life great event that is for the air abundance
Currently ride a Bonnieville T120 which I love but doing more 2 up riding and the passenger hates just seeing the back of my helmet, very interested in the Gt
Hi Jay ,I spoke with crescent Yamaha this morning and they are selling the tenere 1200 after just having it on demo for a very short time ,so they don't want it going out and getting dirty ,they are getting 13 new demo bikes in the next few weeks,soon as one comes available I'll review it , really want to give this one a go all the best mark
@@markpulling12 no worries.Look forward to it.I am intrested in buying one but will be interested in your thoughts as your reviews are very in depth. Thankyou for letting me know.
Great review Mark thanks! Not sure I’d ever need all that torque but the bike looks amazing. If anyone has a spare £20k they could send my way 👍. Answers on a postcard!
@@markpulling12 got a cancelled order from Glasgow was going to get a low rider s with shed loads of engine mods but seen reviews of rocket had a look at R it fitted me and that was it
Hi Steve ,I have a triumph trophy 1200 ,I know it's nothing like the rocket but yes I'd say get the gt if you want a more laid back riding position ,the r is quite an aggressive position all the best mark
@@markpulling12 The thing is Mark, the entire practicality of the bike is compromised for a pointless styling trend. It's a shame because it seems to be a decent bike otherwise.
Possibly one of the most desirable, useless, pointless, gigantic toy on two wheels...😂 compliments for the channel, a lot of useful informations and comparison between models, would be nice to get some accessories, clothing tests, thanks and all the best
I just fell off my thrustworty 2001 honda cbr xx blackbird on slippery road, two broken ribs, ligament lesion at the right scapula, head concussion....the bike gets all the right side and front fairing to replace, I am wondering if something a bit less powerful or a model with some sort of traction control could be safer to avoid this sort of falls...thanks in advance
If you had done a back to back review if this vs the Ducati X diavel I guarantee you'd get 500k views or more and triple your subscriber base. You can still plan a back to back review, hint hint.
You would think that a Dealer would clean a bike knowing that it was being reviewed and therefore will be watched by thousands of potential buyers. If this dealer was in my area i would be of the opinion that they don't give a shit about presentation of their product or their potential customers and would go elsewhere.And finally, when you said, i kinda suppose you would put this in the STREET FIGHTER CATEGORY OF BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL. You are comparing apples with oranges mate.
To be fair the bike was pretty clean when i got it ,the roads around the dorset countryside are terrible at the moment due to all the rain coming off the fields hence why it got so dirty all the best mark
monck55 - you have no soul. You think that only things that juuuust about do the job are enough? Nothing should be superlative? How sad and drab your life must be.
why is everyone baggin on about the Torque?? WTF So I am trying to see all the hype!! Dont worry i am triumph thru and thru! I really luv this bike! but?? I have a 2016 triumph roadster R3 which i luv! Why is everyone bagging on about the torque?? The old one (mine) specs are here for the 2016 R3 its torque was huge also.. Every person that does a vid on this bike talks torque, but the old bike was the same?? Displacement: 2294.00 ccm (139.98 cubic inches ) Engine type: In-line three, four-stroke Engine details: Counter rotating crankshaft Power: 148.00 HP (108.0 kW)) @ 5750 RPM Torque: 221.00 Nm (22.5 kgf-m or 163.0 ft.lbs) @ 2750 RPM FYI BTW I have now increased the HP to 159 ( dino tested) and taken 16kg of the bike simply by changing the slip ons pipes!! So here is the question!! lets get real! For all R3 owners out there, tell me why we should upgrade?? yes its pretty, I had a test ride and its beauitful, but i need a real honest comparison, the old versus the new!! its has to be a minimum 2016 roadster! Lets get real, and give all the R3 community a honest comparison!! My current Roadster has the same Torque & its an amazing bike, but I need to be convinced to pay the extra cash!!
Good point you make. I think it's attracting new Rocket riders from the naked bike and sport bike club. Current rocket owners are already familiar with performance.
Just added a link to your video to the rocket man's site as he ordered one but decided it wasn't for him. He is also great at reviewing bikes. Thanks for the update Mark! ruclips.net/video/2sP_4XliE-4/видео.html
I do appreciate your real world, no nonsense reviews. They get better as time passes by, and in this review it's nice to see you didn't (like many other reviewers) get carried away by this behemoth of a bike...

Cheers mark

Thanks jet ,I want one !!
Lost count of the times the usual cool calm and collective Mark giggles and laughs while riding the Rocket III😂👍

Early Feb I wish, early April hoping for!
I bought one... it’s the kind of bike on a lovely day you don’t want to stop riding it... it gives you a natural high like no other bike I’ve owned..

@@markpulling12 Thanks. It took all my willpower to leave it until March 1st. Keep up the great reviews. Cheers
Ordered the 3R in red on the 14th januari
Not a fan of the cruiser style bike in general but this is something else. Looked round one at the NEC and the built quality is amazing. Probably never own due to the price but it's one added to the list of bikes I cant afford 😀. Good review.
Yes thanks David ,Ive never ridden anything like it before,quite incredible torque :)
Mark pulling you’ve made up my mind. This is my next motorcycle. Was looking at the Ducati X dievil S. But 160lb torque 🤩
Yes I was amazed by it , you're going to love it jose
Great review a man that understands the way this bike is meant to be ridden. I think it's ridiculous when people jump on and are pegging the tach alot.

The GT would be my choice, need to win the lottery first, shame to get it dirty.
yes i kind of feel the gt would suit this bike better ,all the bars etc are interchangeable though,yes i cringed on how dirty it got all the best mark
Another excellent review. Fantastic enthusiasm MP
Nice review Mark, not for me, imagine it will have quite a small buyers market, maybe more who just want to try it out👍

Great thanks Colin :)

Could you change the location of the GT model footpegs to the R models location?

A Fat Boy is more than enough for mi.
This beautiful bike is to much powerful....I don't want to die
It will only kill you if you let it....there is nothing like these bikes ever....they are in a class of there own
I think the Harley might hurt you more. The rocket has tech.
I wonder if you can get rid of the ugly tag holder?
17:12 for a second I thought you meant 20k pounds.. as in weight. 🤦🏼♂️
Max torque figure is irrelevant, it will get counteracted by the gear train ratios. Torque curve is what matters most...
Shift assistant, up and down or just up?
Hi kenneth, it doesnt have as standard a quickshifter,but its available as a triumph option ,im guessing it would be up and down all the best mark

Somthing the devil would ride
Yes It brings the devil out in you ,... naughty bike :)
Or the Diavel 😉
Why am i still poor?🔥🔥🔥 Damn it.
Which one is better rocket 3 or Harley fat BOY..?
No comparison, The Rocket III is a far superior bike
