Had to watch this video again. Check out the last fly by right after the idling roll and power hits a take off. Look at the suspension on that bike light as the torque hits the rear tire... Love it... And by the time the camera catches up the bike is long gone!!!
I agree. When I first heard it idling I thought it sounded like a tractor as well. But during the fly bys it sounded like a 6v92 Detroit. Awesome! I'm a country boy and love the way it sounds either way. Lol. I've seen these bikes in person but have never had the pleasure of hearing one run. Nice. Nice. Nice. :-)
Best sound compilation of a Triumph Rocket 3. Please make more... please. I especially like the far away sounds. I heard one when I was in St.Louis and loved it.
Best sounding exhaust yet for the rocket. Still a little tractor like at idle but much better than all the others on the tube. I may try to live with stock if I pick one up next year because of the idle
No words can describe the feeling of hearing that beauty...I'm going to have to get one ...soooooon! Thanks for uploading... you've made my year!!!What a sweet sound!
I have the same lean decel backfire but I don't find it annoying ( dealer tors tune). Maybe some day a set of Jardines K&n's and ecu tune or even a carpenter racing upgrade. Plenty of fun the way it is for now though.
I recently purchased a Triumph 3 Rocket Classic with the Catalytic converter already removed and of course getting plenty of backfire on deceleration. With your TORs exhaust, you state Catbox delete, does this mean you removed the Catalytic Converter or you have installed something else? BTW.. sounds awesome.
@@23HDSS - No, I dont see them listed anymore. I think they were discontinued. This bike a is a 2009. Specifically its the "TORS" Triumph Off Road Exhaust and there is a catbox delete as well.
I forgot to mention the highlight of this video at 2:23....watch the bike "get up" on the suspension just as GearGuy rolls on the throttle...awesome! That's torque at work! ;-)
+TheSpyChecker Not that quick compared to what? I cannot believe you have actually rode a Rocket III. there's only one bike in this class that is as fast or actually slightly faster than the Rocket 3. And that is the V Max, Diavel is not a Cruiser. Valkyrie not a Cruiser and I have embarrassed two of them already. And please don't even start with the V Rod. I can take a V Rod out with my nearly stock Triumph Thunderbird.
Compared to what? Any 600cc+ sport bikes produced in the last 25 years Most 650+ Sport tourers produced in the last 10 years In it's class though, it's unbeatable. And that straight 3 sounds goddamn glorious. And i wouldn't even consider the V-max a cruiser, to be honest.
Definitely has the sound of an old war plane.
Precisely.....1/3 scale spitfire?.....hmmmmm >:o)
no it sounds like a large diesel truck
Sounds more like a 1993 Acura Legend with a missing exhaust 😆
Sounds like a straight piped 5.9 Cummins

Really nice sounding exhaust. Definitely takes this bike up a notch!
Sounds like a Spitfire doing a flyby.
Sounds like 1995 Honda Accord with a missing exhaust 😆

Love how the whole bike lifts up when he hammers in 1st.

Great video, just what I needed. This is how you demonstrate the sound of pipes
TORs stands for Triumph Off Road pipes, so they are available direct from your dealer.
an inline 3 has the same 120° crank as a straight six and V12, so it sounds like a little warplane when doing a flyby.
Ha that's awesome, guess I never really thought of it like that!
That car parked on the side of the road. Is it a police car with donuts? A most excellent video. Spitfire!
wow, i would have swore that was an inline 6 without looking. beautiful bike btw.
I have these pipes,I love them!! Quiet at idle and they come on crisp and loud when you hit it. Love to see more Thanks
where do you find these? i cant find em anywhere
No words can describe the feeling of hearing that beauty...I'm going to have to get one ...soooooon! Thanks for uploading... you've made my year!!!What a sweet sound!
Nice nice nice! Interesting motor construction and aligment.
got them on my rocket awesome sound
Outstanding,,. Sounds like a Lancaster Bomber from WW!!
Damn that sounds meaty Straight 6 like.
Sounds to me like 6 trumpets singing on top of an old jag straight 6...drool drool. That idle haha
I have the same lean decel backfire but I don't find it annoying ( dealer tors tune).
Maybe some day a set of Jardines K&n's and ecu tune or even a carpenter racing upgrade.

Not a fan of the idle, but the flyby's sound awesome.

Great sound, I love my Rocket but don't have the TORS pipes fitted
This is the soundtrack they should have used in North by Northwest for the crop duster plane.
wow i love the sound verry good thx
sounds like a diesel going down the road
actually, mine sounds like a P-51 Mustang on take-off to my ears...
vcMalice idling it has similarities with a diesel, but going down thew road?? sounds NOTHING like a diesel.
+TheSpyChecker yea it does, like a detroit diesel engine...
Amazing machine.
Quick bike, love it.
that sounds pretty sweet
Sounds like a 2WW Bomber on Crack , damnit ! :P
It's beautiful. So much more appealing than the eneven thump of a Harley leaking vtwin.
I meant to mention I found a set of TOR pipes on a mis-titled Craigslist ad; they sound great on my bike but a cat delete would really help.
It's the triumph cat delete pipe! Glad you found a set and enjoy them.
Sounds like my old diesel van
Makes the bike look a bit older, but damn do they sound awesome!
Rocket III Classic, predecessor to the Roadster. Roadster has 1 muffler on each side and black forks.
WOW!!! It is nice bike!
Did you move the foot pegs forward. It seems a bit more forward then the one I just bought.
No Sir thats factory peg location for an 09.
love it, i have ordered one. Cheers
Same config I had. Sounds like an Offenhauser on the flybys.
Where do you get that exhaust? Can you link it?
It was direct from Triumph (Triumph Off Road Exhaust), I'm not sure that it is available anymore.
GearGuy2001 oh, you planning on selling anytime soon? JK I’m 15.
Are they the Accessory Silencers on the website?
@@23HDSS - No, I dont see them listed anymore. I think they were discontinued. This bike a is a 2009. Specifically its the "TORS" Triumph Off Road Exhaust and there is a catbox delete as well.
Awesome!
is it a roadster?

well spotted
Where can I find a set of these TOR pipes? I know, I know...
Great video!
-- R3 owner on Oahu
They used to be available direct from your local triumph dealer but I'm not sure if they make them anymore. Maybe eBay or on a R3 Forum?
Thanks for the tip; I may have located some in New Zealand!
sounds like a little airplane
Also sounds like a crop duster
Sounds like an old diesel engine in winter
Sounds like you 1992 Acura Legend with a missing exhaust lol
I do wish that was true :( decided to buy these pipes after seeing this video a few times. Called the dealer to order and they can't get them anymore.
Sounds a bit like a Spitfire Merlin engine howling ... not surprisingly :-)
Sounds like an airplane.
It does sound a bit like a tractor.
BIG ENGINE
One day I'm going to own one... Wife may kill me but I'll die satisfied. The sound coming out of it is ridiculous!
Zachary Tunnell They're not that quick......For a cruiser though they're hyper fast ;)

TRIUMP ROCKET, 3,START,UP, TURBO
damn that thing sounds like an american 18 wheeler lol
Purdey little kitty
Sounds like a Kubota at idle.
Spitfire!
sounds aggressive when you let off the gas.
Maybe see if they can give you a part number and try eBay or some of the Rocket 3 Forums?
Sorry wish I could be of more help.
Too bad the new generation of Rocket 3 2020 leaves it small ... surely the price of that dinosarurus has plummeted; )
Spitfire coming!!!😃
Sounds like a single engine plane flying past.
0:00-0:44 Sounds like JCB backhoe loader.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
I think it's tractor
I have one best cruiser in the wold.
It sound like a fucking 2 stroke Detroit Diesel
just what i want my bike to sound like a tractor without a muffler...
Those bars look too skinny for such a beast.....cool bike
Sounds like mustang
ww2 fighter plane
Sounds like a Volkswagen boxer 4 engine with a straight pipe. Not that impressed.
RakinBill considering the size of the engine, its not surprising it'd sound like a small car lol
Idle sounds like an old Farmall tractor, but flyby sounds amazing.
I have a 120 mph flyby on my channel
