2020 Rocket 3 TFC details released!

I suppose I could pester Triumph Spain - the HQ is just down the road from me. I guess the Dealer-Principal for Madrid will get one, but they are a bit too "urban/millennial" for me.
 
With the rake of under 28 degrees must handle like a sport bike! "Be Safe"
 
~$30K is too rich for my (financially challenged) blood. But put it in perspective-a CVO Harley Ultra Limited or Road Glide limited is considerably more. And the new Rocket is far more unique, powerful and of course better looking. I'm hoping they "mainstream" it in 2021 with more models built off the platform (hopefully a fully dressed tourer-my Roadmaster will be gone in a heartbeat) with more affordable pricing.
 
Looking again at the specs, I see they list the HP and torque as "more than". Does that mean that Triumph is not done with the testing yet? Would be nice if they could tweak another 20 on top of the listed numbers!


I would bet they rounded down to the nearest 5 or so just so they can say that. I have a feeling they know if they say xx and it comes out to xy (lower than stated) someone will be phoning their lawyer and trying to sue them for false advertising. There are just way too many asshats in the world today that would sue for something like that. They wouldn't win but Triumph would have to defend and that costs money.

I work close to the factory we have seen a mule running around the roads nearby, personally it seems smaller than the old model - if you notice the people in press pics are always short wimps so makes any bike look big, just remember the bobber pics, now that's a baby bike in real life. I think anyone who pays £25,000 is going to be disappointed !!!!!! Dealers in the UK been taking deposits for a while now on the back of the hype, but friends in the know reckon there will be a standard version launch early 2020 under £20,000,,, This ones been spotted more recently and pics in the press.
