New R3 owner

Tazithman said:

I was holding out to buy a late model R3 until I finished school but I found an 07 classic "touring" edition for a deal I couldn't pass up. I have been looking at rockets for years, just could never find one I could afford.

I have a long history of buying and fixing/flipping old metrics, mostly Honda's, so I'll be making good use of the knowledge on this site to get me proficient on the Triumph and get started on mods.

Only dissapointment I have so far is the lack of stereo capable fairing options for the dual headlight rocket (need my tunes!)

Welcome Tazithman, from Maine I didn't realize tourers ever came with the dual headlights.

In 07 they just made the one dual headlight rocket 3 which is referred to as the "classic". There was a touring version that was the same bike, but with factory bags and floorboards.

From what I read, triumph did this to judge intrest in a touring version of the rocket, then in 08 started making the single headlight tourer everyone knows about.
