Triumph to launch a Rocket trike for 2013

[Watcher]

I like the idea dad was looking at getting a rocket and triking it now he can just go by one

Don't think the Thunderbird is a competitor for the Rocket. Honestly nothing is except oddballs like the Boss Hoss.

Sooooo Very True! I know because we have had two off each...Rocket III and Boss Hoss.

Interesting.. At least it looks like the Rocket will still be around for a while. I'm always wondering if Triumph will drop the Rocket. It can't be cheap to produce, and the Thunderbird is almost a direct competitor.. if there can be a competitor with the Rocket..

I hope they don't drop it. I'm tired of all the Vanilla out there. I guess that's why I rode my ole hog as long as I did, there just wasn't anything that caught my fancy. THEN I saw an R3 in person. Much different than looking at a picture. The seed was planted. About three months later, I bought mine, and am totally in love with it. At this point, if the crankshaft fell out on the street, I'd put it back together and ride the $hit out of it some more !

My 2013 R3R trike is a wee bit faster than a mobility scooter! " Beast of a bike into a feast of a Trike?"

When I need a mobility scooter, I am sure it will be on the list.

Even though I am getting ready to buy a Silverback Roadster If they would add the dual Rocket headlights I would buy one of these also. if not its just a harley clone with a better motor.
Don't take this wrong but I belive the dual headlights are a Rocket Icon ans should remain even on the touring. put the gauge on the tanke if you want but add a tachometer to it please but don't fuc with the dual headlights.

Trikes are not really me - but The Grinall still looks pretty decent

Not Impressive

That is a poor design for a trike!

What don't you like? the Grinnall is the bomb....got Styling and Performance, it's not Grandpa's old trike....You want it to look like a HD Triglide or some other heap?

Interesting. Just hope the triumph version looks absolutely nothing like the aftermarket pics cos that thing looks crap. crap everything . Twin lights is a must and that wheelchair seat looks rediculous

Im sure triumph will produce the goods
