At the dealership - 2018 Rocket to get 2500 ccs

I think we did Paul. Remember the post by BillyIndiana It's a Secret? This was at the Chicago IMS bike show and they were showing people 3D renderings of the supposed new Rocket. This post just adds a bit of meat to the rumour.

Hope it's true.

The salesman at windy city told me the same thing. He didn't think Triumph would go through the expense and time to make the virtual 3D display if they were gonna cancel the Rocket. He said he suspects a whole new Rocket for 2019
 
Maybe the next Rocket will be modular, wait... it already is ;-)

If you google the rocket three and read about it's development, the engine could have been silky smooth, focus groups WANTED the vibration. I could do without it.

Why on earth would these "Focus groups" want vibration ?
I too could live with out it Fred, not that my bike gives me any concern.

Edited just now, could, not good live with out it.

When I was in Texas where the speed limit can be 85 mph, my mirrors will blur some, they clear up if I pull in the clutch so it's not wind. Not a big problem, but it didn't have to be a problem at all.
