Chris @ Baxter's called to let me know they had a Roadster in. Stopped by as I was passing by on I-80. Shiny black, big (I mean BIG) f'in cans. The seat is higher than my standard, didn't know that. Didn't really get a good feel for peg location.
Sticker price isn't too bad @ $13,999...
Just received confirm on new delivery of 2010 Roadster. Wanting to upgrade the exhaust first. Those preds look great in black. Where can they be had, how much, and how do they perform and sound? Any help here would be greeatly apreciated.
Thoughts are to go through breakin, then install...
Just closed the deal on my new matte black Roadster. signed papers and will take delivery in 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little excited.
Other bike is an 09 Bonnie T100 with 80.5 RWHP. Not gonna tell you how much money is invested in getting that HP out of her. Love the bike, but....
This Roadster is...
Looking for a site for info on the Rocket. Curremtly own an 09 Bonnie with 80+ HP on the rear wheel. I'm dying to see what I can get out of the new R3 Roadster. Currently, I can't seem to get a confirmed shipment date on the new Matte Black Roadster. Supposed to hear from the sales manager...
Got my new Roadster on Saturday. Awesome. It is just fantastic. I can only just fit in my front garden but the effort is worth it!
On my precious Triumph's I have been used to changing up using no clutch. I noticed in the hand book for the Roadster it says you should always use the clutch. Is...
Okay fellas, here goes a long post.
Firstly, I am not mechanically minded and I have never used Tuneboy. As such, some of the post may not be in the correct terminology or I may not explain it properly. I didn't even know bikes had butterflies in them. Don't bother arguing or criticising with...
I picked up my Roadster last Thursday. The weather has not been good at all. I have only 150 miles towards the break-in so far. I am very pleased with the beast. It has a very strong bark under load and I haven't been above 3 1/2 grand yet. it's very smooth, comfortable, and moves along...
Has anyone experienced Triumph's gel seat on the Roadster yet. Their web site pics looks like it might lower the rider a little. That would be a good thing for short legs like me.
Good Rides
I met up with Toystoretom yesterday and went riding. We stopped by the local dealer and they had gotten in a new Roadster. It was flat black. I really like the flat black on the Speed Triple, but I think because of the size of the tank, it is just a little too much on the Rocket. The...
2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster - Bigger is Better
There's no such thing as too much power
Wha...hey! I knew the Rocket III Roadster was going to have grunt, but I hadn't expected this. Pulling away from Triumph's Hinckley factory, the Roadster's enormous 240mm-wide rear Metzeler spun on the...
First impressions:
Picking it up at the dealer on Saturday:
1. Looks. It looks fantastic in the flesh. The leather tank cover I have, with the frankly useless pocket bit (only space for a mobile/small sat nav basically) also seems to work and look good too..
The rear mudguard is just...
Hi there,
I am fairly new to this site as I am still rising my trusty Tiger 1050. However, this Saturday I rest ride a Roadster. Assuming all goes well and I get a reasonable deal on the Tiger I will be ordering a Roadster.
I am slightly anxious as I commute into London everyday and am not...
I know that changing to a Zard gives a bonkers insane amount of lightness added to the Roadster - I know that BST make gorgeous carbon fibre wheels (wheels are best place to lose weight)
But what else can you do to chop weight out of this gorgeous brick shi*house of a bike..
Handlebars - big...
Fitted a set of Roadster bars and they seem to feel pretty comfortable (haven't done any great distance with them yet). Still got the standard risers on there for now but may get Thunderbird or Rivco's if I need them.
The bars are slightly narrower, taller with a little less pull back but...

On the MADSS site, the Roadster screen is being offered for $561.35, with a list price of $660.00. The part number...
I got the current issue of Motorcyclist in the mail yesterday - there is a RAVE review (First Ride) of the new R3 Roadster. They loved almost everything about it - Power, handling - even the mid-mount controls (though they would have liked them set back even further).
You really need to read...
