Rocket. V-Rod doesn't reach it's stride until 4000 RPM's; then she kicks it in and doesn't hit the rev limiter until 9000... 0-60 mph they are probably closely matched but my R3T does it without breaking a sweat with a stronger "feel"... There is a 300lb difference too.

Depends on who's driving each bike and who services them.

Say two basic equal drives. Day 0 to 60? And 0 to 100? My guess would after 100 would past Rocket ?

Beautiful Rocket brotherman!! I'm new as well! Just picked up my 2015 Rocket 3 Roadster with 2800 miles!!Hi All from Bromley , Kent , UK
Picked up a Rocket 3 Roadster the other day it's a 2014 one owner bike with only 2500 genuine miles on the clock , It has a custom paint job by 8 Ball Customs which was commissioned by Triumph Laguna Maidstone , Kent UK before it was originally sold . That's what caught my eye in the first place, the paint job. It's got a few extras but no tuning mods , I will probably leave it as is but will add some comfortable hand grips and change the mirrors .
I am impressed with the handling and breaking of such a large bike , I definitely made the right choice .
My last couple of bikes were a Harley V rod and I have just sold my Victory Jackpot , Both I liked very much in different ways but I feel that the R3 has the best of everything and a bit more .
Welcome from Illinois USA!!

Thanks for the welcome Airman , Like your bike and low mileage as well , Its not even run in yet .
I've only been for a ride on mine a handful of times as its winter over here and that usually means cold and rain . Cant wait for the weather to break to see what the rocket can do . I pulled away from the curb at an angle with a little too much throttle the other day and slid the rear wheel to one side , Lesson 1 for me , Treat the old girl with respect
Take care ride safe .
