On my home from work today I seen a red rocket it was getting off on exit 42 on 75 north it was bout 4:00 pm didn't pay attention to the tag so don't know where it was from or if he is on here but the first rocket I have seen in a long time on the hywy
 
There's a few in my town, and they all came from the same dealer! They are a bit slow to sell, but only because people don't know what they are, but once they find out....they can't wait to get one! It's also a fact the Triumph doesn't make all dealers stock one of every type of Rocket. My local dealer is only required to keep one Roadster available. He will on his own request one R3T a year, and if he can sell two by chance he'll DX the second one! I was ready to have him look for me one, when a two year old low miler showed up, and I promptly bought it.
 
since 2005 have seen two Rockets here in Oklahoma. One in 2005 and Mexican about a month ago traveling south on 75. Just about everyday on my way to work I stop for gas and usually someone will make a comment about the Rocket. Even with Truimph spelled out on the gas tank they will ask who makes the bike (amazing) I can understand people driving cars asking questions about the bike but for the most part it is people on bikes asking the questions. You would think that with the internet and all people would be better educated on what is offered by the motorcycle industry.
 
When I had my touring I had a couple people ask me what kind of Harley was it I just told them it was a triumphharley and left it at that
