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...

Moments later I have to slow for traffic, and my chance to feel the Triumph bashing up against its rev limiter in top gear--as it...

Not sure if this has been talked about here - I was doing some digging last night to see if Kisan Pathblazer modulators are legal in the UK, and the whispers at TriumphTorque are that a new 2500cc iteration is in the works - anyone heard anything about this?
Bigger is better!!! Why don't they...
Thought it might be interesting to see what everybody's reasons was for purchasing a Rocket. Weather it is because you are British or you have always ridin a Triumph or whatever your personal reason is. What ever it is, it might be interesting to hear.
I like the fact that I am the only guy I...
I've had my R3T for one year now.
21500 miles.
2 sets of Metzeler 880 Marathons. Even had a car tire on for about 5k miles.
3 oil changes. 3 sets of rear brake pads.
10k and 20k services done. Don't ask how much $$$, it's expensive and I don't like it. But it's the price I pay for such an...
I replaced the stock mufflers on my 2008 R3T with the Triumph accessory mufflers and now I wish I had kept the stock mufflers. I want to replace the accessory mufflers I have now with stock mufflers.
Does anyone have stock mufflers that will fit my R3T that they'd be willing to swap for my...
Anyone interested in this ride? I plan to depart San Diego in late May or early June via my Rocket III Touring (an average of 16 days, 7,600 miles). I may even build an Iron Butt Saddle Sore 1000 into the trip.
Who's up for the challenge?

at Eurosport Cycles in Fort Worth, TX.. This was the first time on a Rocket III. Took the bike out on a 12 mile loop and then back to the dealership. My current ride is a 98 Honda Valkyrie Tourer and I have always ridden with a windshield. That being said, the wind on Saturday was blowing like...
Hi does anyone out there no of a good motorcycle seat upholsterer. I have recently purchased my first Rocket iii Classic and would like to customise seat with a brown hide look!! Any ideas? Teds1 from the UK.
Anybody tried one of these? I just got one on ebay. Doesn't seem to bright but may compensate with the circular LED pattern.Braking looks good with all LES illuminated and flashing.
Played around at a vintage bike show today and saw a bunch of neat old bikes, including this BSA Rocket III.
Had a bunch of guys come and admire my bike too. Gawd I like that!:D
A few years ago I drove a beat up 69 Triumph Spitfire. What an absolute blast to drive. The only real problem was a lack of power. The pitiful little motor only made about 60 HP stock and had almost no torque to speak of. So many people have wedged V-8s and V-6s into them it got me thinking...
