I rode one once..my cobber had it out for a test ride...found that on the corners it tried to stand up and i was having to hold it down to get around comfortably...may have been the fact i had just got off my Storm to ride it...wasnt impressed....thats just me tho...they do sound nice!

I've had 3 HD's all very good bikes. Two of the Triumph's I've owned have failed. Just sayin...

It's that 240 rear tire. If you're not used to it, handling it can be cumbersome. I just happened to be coming off a drag ZX14 with an extended swing arm and 240 rear so it was a breeze for me. I had a D&D exhaust on that 110 engine which was downright nasty!!!

Not entirely the 240 tire i dont think....The Rockets i have owned with 240 tires handle way better than the Harley did...just a whole different stance and rider position for me...felt uncomfortable..but hey!..each to their own.

You made me smile Sandy. I thought the same this past July when I bought my Road King. The only reason I bought it is because Triumph has stopped making the R3T and probably will never make a big cruiser-touring bike in the foreseeable future.

The current R3s are amazing for sure, but not cruisers. I wrote a review on them when the 2020 models came out. That does mean I won't buy one someday, but for my long trips, I need what the R3T has and therefore, added the Harley to help share the workload. It has served me quite weel in 4,400 miles so far.

@Majaste good luck with your trike. Let's see a picture of it when you get a moment.
