Ride
2022 Triumph Rocket 3 GT
Picked up a slightly used GT about 3 months ago. Put on over 4K miles since then. What a bike!
I've had many bikes over my 50+ years of riding, and Im thinking this is the best one yet! Love it!

Welcome from DFW! I think the current gen Rocket is one of the best bikes out there, but it is totally unappreciated by the masses other than for its motor size. I have several really nice bikes and the Rocket is the one I grab the keys for most. Before, I'd avoid it on really hot days as the heat from the cat would really roast you. Now with a different exhaust, it is much better.

It is really is a great all rounder. Maybe not in a Multistrada, Africa Twin or GS kind of way, but its really good at a lot of things as long as you are on pavement. Plus it has enough power to be fun and feels solid as heck, while still being fun on backroads.
 
Great photos!
Welcome from the UK.
The more miles that I put on my R3 the more I love it. It's a special bike. I doubt we will see anything of it's kind again as the eco-zealots bite down ever harder on our choice of motive power.

Yes, I totally agree. My other 2 bikes are getting neglected since acquiring the rocket!
To my amazement, the bike really excels in the mountains. The surprisingly good handling and the power on hand to accelerate out of corners is unmatched and really makes it fun!

I'm 80 years old riding for 64 years and have owned about 30 big bikes. Currently am riding a 2021 R3 GT which is far and away the very best overall bike I've ever owned!!
