I have over 40,000 miles on my 2020 GT now and trust me, the smiles just keep on coming. My buddy has a Diavel and they are very close in the twisties, in fact I think the Rocket has a bit of an advantage on steep uphill twisties. And the host here is correct, get the quick shifter.

Nice. I like the "R" ergonomics with the GT passenger accommodations.

Highly enjoyable video with a lively commentary. You live in a beautiful part of the world - those roads; those fabulously coloured trees. And that bike!!

I bought this bike as well. Mine’s loaded with accessories. I’ve got the cellphone conductivity, tire pressure monitoring system, GT handlebars, single seat, clutch assist, heated grips, tank knee pads extra power outlet, and the sport windscreen. I’ve also had a front and rear dash camera system professionally installed. I’ve got the upgraded mirrors on order. I’m also getting the Beeline navigation system installed.

I've had to look up "umbrage". Thanks for teaching me a new word!

I have A 2020 GT version coming off a Kawasaki Concours that i owned for about 4 years, was time for me to go cruiser style again was aiming for a Harley Street Glide but the look and torque of the Triumph won me over its a blast to ride i had a quickshifter install and the acceleration is quit phenomenal shifting without touching the clutch its so much fun. Im gonna buy a sadelmen backrest bag for resting im upper back for long trip because the one thing miss is the electric windshield on my Concours, the winds affectme and tire me alot on long trip and on the higway its ruff, but in long run just the Rocket.
@davesouthey2619
Nice ride out I have the gt version it was put on KZitem by the dealers I said to my wife this bike is the same as mine when I saw the reg plate it was mine I have had a Rocket111 roadster for 11years so
@ninja12lawbreaker
Great review brother, I am however, already sold, gonna swap my KTM SDR next year I reckon. Triumph have never even been on my radar over 40+ years riding, this new shape muscle cruiser is a game changer, like when Audi developed the Quattro

I think that today the new Ducati with the Diavel V4 engine will certainly compete with this bike for the same share of the market. I find the bike very interesting but the lack of wind protection is a downside if touring with it is a project. The bike is beautiful like it is but would be great to have some sort of a bubble to make it into a mile muncher. The quick shifter is key for me in terms of riding pleasure, so for the cost of the bike It’s expectable to get it from stock. ( I’m achieving 58 years old next May, so arthritis are becoming a issue to deal with and the quick shifter is relevant as it ads a lot of riding comfort).

The roads look brilliant over there! In Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire we have some good riding roads, but you have to avoid some of the muddy areas (especially after farm machinery activity) because of the mud that you mentioned! Looking forward to the riding in traffic video! 😀

Had mine about 12 months, still can’t get the smile off my face. I also looked very hard at the diavel but I come from a sports tourer background and couldn’t do forward controls. Can’t imagine not what using all year round, SEQ is pretty much constantly good riding weather. Cheers Chris

Hello from 🏴 a really nice vid and editing. I love how that torque is instant, no winding up needed. Roll in 4th is just awesome 😎 What you’ll find is the R3 motor really loosens up after 1-2k, and in sport with the shift assist really does wake up and then you can really hustle it more on the twisties. Brakes are great and very stable, tips in well and holds line, def need to respect the weight but the big girl leans 😎 Check out Marcio’s vids on What A Day. I’ve got the front and rear suspension nicely and takes the bumps well and really enjoy pushing the mid pegs 😎 safe riding mate. With long arms I like the bars, feel way more connected to the front end than on the GT. I think the dash looks much better in dark mode. I’d have loved the twin clocks but love the functionality, you’ll be scraping soon and that front end sticks mate. I eased myself in too and you learn to trust. I decided on the R3 over Diavel and no regrets 😊 good video mate. Check out Marcio’s vid, he modded his zaust with Peter at Meerkat in Oz and sound is phenomenal 😎 on suspension some guys reporting almost no preload on the suspension so will def firm up. I’ve popped the cable ties on mine and so far decent. Got to say the Red 3R is my favourite, I love the brushed metal and stainless headers etc 😎

The Zard exhaust is excellent. More noise but not too loud and looks even better.

Very nice video, and awesome bike. It looked like you were going a bit wide on some turns; guess it's the weight doing it. I am looking at this bike as an upgrade from 1100CC 225KG bike. Nervous to go for even a test ride, especially as I am 5'9 @70KG and this thing weighs a ton.
