Thinking about getting a Triumph Rocket 3

[groran1000]

Any body got any feedback on these bikes? Looking at a 2020 R model for $12k with 13k miles. Beautiful bike, totally red with the large, expensive aftermarket front fairing similar to the large Harley fairing. Owned by an old man like me. I'm thinking about the GT, though, due to the pegs being forward like cruiser type rather than similar to busa peg config, but has the up and back bar config. I tell ya though, been watching some vids of it just dying out for no reason, and the dealership can't find anything wrong, then just starts up as if nothing happened. I'm excited to get it as it has double the torque of an 88ci Harley I once had. No, I'm not selling my beloved Gen3!! The guy selling it says he tried both the R and the GT models and said he had trouble holding on to the GT, and said the R was easier to hold on to on big torque runs

I was going to post the Moore Mafia video when he got his, but you've probably already seen it....

He certainly likes his......

Great bike, but not for city ride as exhaust is getting very hot and burning your leg and only mid controls, for me front on GT were uncomfortable all bumps to lower back after one hour of ride back was getting sore…

I bet you'll scrape pegs a little more often v the Busa
I'd buy one just for that engine

you could always put a TTS blower on it

but the foward mounted gear foot lever makes changes difficult due to high g force
