It's actually not significantly smaller than the current bike, and that's a fact.

It appears smaller only. Front of front wheel to back of back wheel is within 1 inch of current. Height is actually taller on the new bike.

This will be proven the first day one lands at the Seattle Triumph dealer and go with a tape measure, but I know I'm right already.


It looks it though. Every new triumph just seems scaled too small. Look great till someone sits on it. I think it’s a shame. So close yet...
 
This new Rocket is an all out modern competitive big cruiser. Maybe to updated for some on here who like to tinker and build but they will sell at least as well as the older styled bikes. The looks are to subjective to debate, you like it or you don’t so I will not be ate that.

There are those out there who wear fancy boots and riding gear that will appreciate the fancy brakes, upgraded electronics, edgy wheel and shocks. The single sided swing arm and new light weight frame will yield a more sporting ride that will suit the riders capable of using those features. The clean internal wiring and aluminum components will attract the riders that care about details like aesthetics.

I’ve been called fancy before and I’ll own it.;)

I like high quality bikes and gear. I love leather and boots and have a good collection of both. Even my hunting gear is top notch quality and my guns ain’t no ugly trash.

I recall some years ago riding with a new fellow on a fine CVO Harley that was always wearing collared shirts and nice gear thinking he just looks so polished. He really stood out from the normal tee shirt grunge look of the masses of HD riders. If you can afford it there is no real reason to look unkempt.

My mother taught me that how you look and present yourself is important.

I could not have stated that better if I tried. Some riders think that if they look 'old style biker with an attitude' it makes them look 'authentic'. It doesn't. It makes you look like you are trying way too hard to be relevant. Wear what you want to wear but don't think for a second the next guy over isn't as 'down with riding' as you are. You be you.
