Has it had the update kit installed ?
My Rocket is ten years old, & I will not sell my hinckley Bonnie.
 
I have no idea, haven't been to see it in person yet. Is there anyway to to tell? I'm assuming this dealer will know nothing as they're not a Triumph dealer.
 
Get the vin and check through a Triumph dealer.
BTW welcome to the forum.
 
9 yo bike. Not a chance... best advice would be to buy as later model as you can afford 2009 onwards. The older bikes can also be good but its a bit of a lottery if the upgrades have not been done.
 
Me personally I would skip on a 2005. Many problems possible or could be a sweet ride. Too iffy for my $7000. For a few bucks more you can get a little newer. Be patient and shop it.
 
My 2005 Rocket has way over 60000 miles on it and all trouble free the bike has never let me down, if you can afford it go with a later model but do not think they are trouble free just as much problems with the later models than with the original true early Rockets.(exc the BSA)
Before anyone chips in go with the red colour it is a well known fact they are faster it must be true for I have posted it online
 
My 2005 has been good to me, had the idle recall done they said it was worth idolizing and we all know black is faster...
