New R3 Production Model

Hard to imagine a GT -Grand Tourer- without panniers? There does not appear any way to add them given the back end.

Wonder what the differences are from the TFC? I know one...about $10,000! Now what justifies that?

I havn't seen a price for this or these bikes other than the TFC model....has someone been told officially or are we assuming it will be 10g lighter..?
 
We are assuming as my understanding is TFC in the states will be around $30,000. Regular Rockets MSRP were like $15,500 or so. So giving a price increase on MSRP I figured $10,000...could be more. Harley's CVO's are always 10G or more over the regular model.
 
ok, i'm with you......a 2018 Rocket here is $NZ28.500...... top of the line Triumph...which is the Tiger with all the fruit, is about $NZ34,000....
I'm thinking a production Rocket might be around $NZ37-$NZ38...?..Dunno. Really looking forward to seeing these bikes tho.
 
A GT is NOT - I repeat NOT, and never has been, a "tourer."

Designed to do a->b fast, in comfort: Generally a 2+2 at most.
But one stayed in fine hotels and often one's luggage was sent on ahead.

This (chosen at random) is more of a GT really.

 
Not so sure..the 2019 Yamaha Tracer GT is defined as a Tourer....it just has a lot more bells and whistles..

What it is called and what it is - may differ. A Golf GTi is not a GT either in my book. But a Cruiser or Bagger will never be a real GT, imo.

I would not call an H2 a GT, but I met a guy (he's one of the UK Iron Butt guys) who last year did 5000miles in a long weekend on an H2. Covered half of Europe.

I will wait and see what luggage Triumph considers GT-worthy. But I note a bit of a trend over here that side cases are getting smaller. Either this means modern man travels lighter, or travels less.
