I just got my insurance statement from State Farm and my R3T has a $50 per half year lower premium than my Roadliner had before it. I find that interesting considering the 400cc displacement increase. Perhaps there are fewer claims for Triumphs, whatever the reason I am still happy about it.
 
My agent told me that once you break the 1000cc mark there isn't anything else. I guess it's considered 1000cc's and above, I'm glad they don't have more categories.
That is interesting that the Triumph is less, does it cost more to repair a roadliner?
 
OK, something is UP

Wow, that's weird. My yearly State Farm policy on my Rocket III just dropped 125 dollars a year. Now I am starting to worry......what's with the drop in premiums?

Maybe they feel that if you survived this long on the back of a Rocket .....
 
R ocket vs Liner

Reinie, how do you like the Rocket compared to the Roadliner? I have an 07 Strat and very much want the Rocket r3t. Test road the Touring three times but can't afford the price difference just yet.

Depreciation of equipment retail value ( which could be applied to me or the bike):eek::eek:
 
R3T vs. Roadliner

The Rocket is a completely different animal from the Roadliner. The ride is more taught yet smoother, probably better suspension dampening. The liner was lighter and more flickable, but the R3T handles remarkably well for its size. The Triumph has better ergonomics in that the reach to the bars puts less strain on the shoulders and wrists and the seat is far superior to even the Ultimate I had on the Yamaha. The ergos also put me in a better posture with none of the slouched lower back that causes pain over long distances. I also favor the twin shocks of the R3T over the hidden monoshock of the Yammie as they are a lot easier to get at to adjust. The engine just blows away anything in the aircooled v-twin category with gobs of torque at any rpm above idle. Top gear roll-ons for passing etc. do not require much throttle and the bike exhibits none of the drama and noisiness associated with v-twins. So far I have put over 1000 miles on this bike in less than a month and the more I ride it, the more I like it.
