    Test Rode The R3... But....

    Test Rode The R3... But....

    For sure! Hence sitting a bit forward with feet back does help. However these trips for me are mostly not longer than an hour or so. Included my weapon of choice....

    Test Rode The R3... But....

    Exactly my feeling on the pegs and handle bars too! When I test rode the Rocket I had this upright seating position with the wind pushing me backwards as the speed increased... my feet also felt too much wind in the fwd position, so I had to "cling" to the handle bars most of the way.

    Test Rode The R3... But....

    I took the Rocket 3 GT for a 230 km test ride. I did not like the fwd foot pegs and the higher, more back handle bar. The weight and length of the Rocket was definitely felt especially in the mountains. I mostly ride a KTM Super Duke R Gen. 3 and a Speed Twin 1200.... However I bought the...

    New here!

    Thanks for having me! I'm on bike 78 ... my 4th Triumph. Had a Triumph Tiger Cub in 1966. Bought a Trident 660 in 2023 and added a 2022 Speed Twin 1200 in 2023. Last week bought a '23 Rocket 3 GT and converting it to R spec. My final bike as it is time to hang up my helmet... Regards
