I traded in my 2021 Bobber and my 2015 Speed Triple this weekend and am now the proud owner of a beautiful Red Triumph Rocket 3 GT.
Made the fatal error of taking a Rocket out for a test drive when my Bobber was in for a service a couple of weeks ago, after which the Bobber felt like jumping on a moped. Never thought I've ever give up the Speed Triple (a most beautifully balanced bike that fitted like a glove), but the Rocket was just so much fun to ride. Had considered a Tiger 1200 for touring with the wife and although it had a great pillion seat, it did my back in about 20mins of riding (not the bike for me). The Rocket really is a 3-into-1 bike: the style of the Bobber, the madness and muscle of a Speed Triple and the comfort of a Tiger. I love this bike!
