One thing I have learnt from Triumph - the parts are model specific - you will not be able to put the nice carbon fiber pieces from a tfc onto another model. Triumph require log book to prove machine and validate spares. In their words - they don't want to weaken the brand by rider modifications. They will not sell Arrow system unless the bike is tfc etc
Most find it too big or intimidating. They won't do their homework on it because none of their friends know anything about it either. The new Rocket may change that.
My best friend has been riding since he was 16, Harley guy, he's won't even try the Rocket, lol. 10 years ago I bought a motorcycle so I could ride with him, he was happy because last year he did better than the year before, he did 256 miles total. And he has 3 bikes, lmao.
Weirdly they look similar on the pics but in reality the R3R is physically smaller. I even heard o fella say "how do you get 2.5ltr in that little bike?"
