It’s growing on me!

I must have been buying all the wrong bikes because i just don't see 22K as super high for a big unique bike.:confused: If you buy new Harleys for a while the Triumph will appear cheap.

I agree with that. A buddy of mine who has a road king EVO asked me, how much you spend on the Rocket, $25K? I laughed. I said it was new/ used, only 800 miles on it for $10K. Had to help him get his jaw back up off the floor.
 
True, but it’s gonna get a whole lot worse when the itch starts!!!

I know what you mean about arse end, looks like an after thought, I never liked it on the Diavel either, what’s the point of hiding that stunning wheel, but I’m sure there is a fix...

That tail end bugs the heck out of me.....

Should be more like this.

I went on the Triumph website and configured an R and a GT. I made the red R like a GT for only $26 more than the GT price. So that works for me. I got GT handlebars, heated grips, fly screen, backrest, luggage rack, pillion comfort seat, The only difference would be the all black wheels on the R. I like the GT wheels with the contrasting silver better.
 
The new models aren't growing on me at all. The whole bike looks squished from front to back, and the ass end is as ugly as it gets.

I did not buy my 2014 R3R because it was pretty. The look has grown on me but i thought it was quite ugly as a cruiser and bought it because it was cheap and had a huge motor. Remember I came from Harley and Indian where esthetics are paramount. I think the new Rockets look better but not perfect. I agree that thing on the back is a bit odd.
 
That will become the tail tidy conversion. I can see it now everything you need to make it look closer to what it used to :D

The real question is who will ruin it with the first Dark side ?????
I think it is time for the old style Rocket to to take its place in time and let the new one have a shot. If any one dark sides one of these their opinion on cosmetics and handling is for forfeit.:D
