  1. Rocket = Albatross

    Confession, I'm thinking about selling my 2009 touring model, it's in the classifieds. Problem, no buyers. Trade value with 3,800 is $9K according to two dealers. While negotiating a deal on a 2010 Tiger1050, the Triumph dealer I bought it from told me we wouldn't even be talking if I...
  2. What are R3T's bringing right now?

    I was offerred $9,000 on my 2009 Rocket III Touring with 3,500 miles at two separate dealerships.
  3. Broke down R3T in New Jersey.

    I know there are plenty of R3T's without problems, but I have to say that this thread and a few others have really spooked me about both the reliability of my 2009 R3T and the on road support I can expect if something goes wrong. I moved to the R3T last August after years of Honda-only VFR's...
  4. Best way to lift R3T?

    Has anyone used a Craftsman type jack to lift both wheels at once? I'm thinking that 2 - 2x4's laying across the jack rails (lining up front to back with the bike) would work if the jack was centered under a reasonable balance point for the bike. I'd also find a spot on each side and run...

  6. New R3T bling

    www.triumphinstructions.com you'll need a part # I can dig it up if needed. I concur with the "got me" part of it. I was 5 miles into the test ride and new I had already spent the money.
  7. Valk vs R3 ?

    Have a 2009 R3T, owned a 2000 Valk, was a lifelong Honda guy before the R3T caught my eye. I bought the Valk in Ohio, hopped on it and ran it back to Mass. without a thought. It's a Honda, it will simply just run. I don't have that confidence in the R3T, at least yet. No problems, but the...
  8. New R3T bling

    ready to roll a loooong way.
  9. New R3T bling

    Quirky, Character Building, Only Triumph, I ordered everything I needed to get the passenger backrest, and luggage rack set up. The sissy bar frame/hardware kit came with no instructions, but instructions about where to get the instruction on line. The part number on the box came up as...
  10. New R3T bling

    Ha! Won't be a problem, this is all functional. There won't be any chrome doo-dads replacing parts that already are there... I would like a top case at some point...
  11. New R3T bling

    Just got the backrest, luggage rack and all hardware. Ordered through my dealer's website on Thursday, received a week later. Lots 'o pieces... a bit like IKEA.
  12. New R3T'r in Eastern Mass.

    Traded a VFR (my 3rd) on a 2009 R3T in August and could not be happier. Great as expected on the 400 mile day but perfectly manageable as a commuter into Boston as well. I have not seen another on the road yet...
