    I was paying $600 annually for the 2300 R3, 120 SDR & 120 Sas all 3 full+ coverage.

I'm going thru Foremost, live outside chicago...

    Doesn't look like much. I used a universal touring screen on my SDR and at hwy speed it would fold onto gas tank. Def need a solid mount.

    Am I crazy!!

    I bought an S3 while owning the R3 and while the power on that 1050 between 7-9000 rpm might be the quickest, the all around power any gear any rpm of the R3 had the S3 collecting dust.

    I gotta give it to you guys having the Carpenter build done on the touring model, hell my 06 standard got wobbly at 135 and I think triumph limited the R3t to 105 mph?

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    I had a HD, an 04 FXDLI with the 95 c.c HTCC kit, 251 cams, roller rockers and all the goodies that came with it. the build was claimed to make 120/120 on the dyno and after the 2nd rebuild and I sold it off it took a R3 to match the feel of torque that bike made. That feel of unlimited power...

    The Latest US Motorcycle Death Statistics Are Out

    I've taken to gravel, less traffic or police. It does bring it's own risks. This time last year going around a turn on a narrow road an oncoming car hit me nearly taking my left leg. I was in poor shape to give a statement and received a ticket for improper lane usage, after explaining my gravel...

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    IDK if mine qualifies as tuned, but I did swap out the blinkers for sequential leds so I could get the full akra exhaust with the akra map. My gen 1 with a bodis, sas delete & akra map tapered off around 145 mph while this 22evo is still pulling like an angry beast at an indicated 160 mph. (Zumo...

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    I had the 06 R3 and 1050 S3 and the S3 got nearly 0 attention then. I swapped the R3 for a gtl for my wifes comfort, but I've ridden both the R3 and GTL solo from St pete FL back to CHIcago and while the gtl is a smooth comfy mile eating hwy monster it's not as fun as my 06 standard!!! Now my...

    Missed My 05 Rocket

    Congrats, I had my 2011 Storm a year that I put over 12000 miles on it. Loved that bike and is still my favorite looking cruiser! I traded mine in for a used R3 after the 12k service. $1200 was too much compared to the R3 $550 every 20k so I did it. Today there isn't a Triumph in my garage, but...

    I let my Rocket go

    I read about a lot of these type of problems on the KTM forum where the problems generally come down to 1 of 3 different things, owners pressing the starter button before the ecu completes the start up cycle, battery voltage is incorrect, too much juice or too little will put bike into limp...

    Why are people selling their Rockets?

    I loved my 06 standard, a snap of the throttle and the bike felt like it would hop, With the luggage rack and side bags I could carry enough for a long weekend for my wife and myself. I traded it because the wind would curl around me and pound the hell out or her and shifting into firsy started...

    New 2.5L owner, things I hate about the motorcycle.

    I've used the foam grips that slide over stock and heat transfer is fine.

    New 2.5L owner, things I hate about the motorcycle.

    I miss my 06 R3. I appreciate the versatility of the old standard for touring and 2 up riding. This new model looks to be more specific in purpose dropping the touring and 2 up comfort in favor of style. A sweet bike for sure, but the 2500 looks like anything but an upgrade to the original.

    Roadster transmission problems sorted.... My a***!

    lots of info on this forum about the dreaded 2300cc tranny. I traded mine in with just over 20k because shifting into first sounded like a hammer hitting an anvil.

    New to this forum. Pre-Purchase question?

    remember the old cars with the gas tank behind the license plate? My first ride on my newly rebuilt bonnie, 67-69 era my eyes got stuck on a young ladies quarter moons hanging out of her shorts... wrecked the forks with 6 miles on the rebuild!!! Nope she didn't even notice me.
