    Which model would you get?

    Agree 100%. I had been looking at a number of bikes to replace my 2017 Street Triple, but as soon as I saw the new Rocket, I knew that I wouldn't be satisfied with any other bike. As my non-motorcycling son commented, when I asked him if he thought I should save €8000 and just get the Speed...

    ...more on the 2020 models

    My thoughts exactly, there's too much red (front mudguard) and it's too orange. I originally put my deposit down on a red R, but I've changed my order to a black one. As you say, pity they don't offer the R in the silver.
  3. Rocket2500

    Which model would you get?

    Exactly! On seeing Triumphs publicity shots, it was a no-brainer - a red R. But the more I looked, and the more I asked the opinions of friends and family, the more I realised it was OTT. I wish the GT's grey/black/red was offered on the R, but at least with black I can be sad and mod it to look...

    Which model would you get?

    I agree, but I've changed my order from a red to a black R simply because for me there's just too much red going on (front mudguard...). If they'd done just a red tank, it would have been perfect. I'm not a huge fan of black bikes (or cars, for that matter), but it was the lesser of two evils in...

    Which model would you get?

    Just curious as to the national breakdowns. I'm guessing Europe will be mainly the R, and the US will go for the GT, but I may be wrong.

    BikeGrab front wheel chock

    You’re quite right; apologies. I checked and I also made the same post in a Facebook group - that was where I got the reply about the bike falling. Sorry

    BikeGrab front wheel chock

    Guys, this is a bit weird, but my thread appears to have been edited... I came back to it this morning and saw that a 'Note' had been added to my original post and that, more strangely still, a reply I recall from another member saying that he had the same chock and that it had dropped his bike...

    Anyone have any experience of these? Made in the UK, look very sturdy... [Note: also available in the US: Grab Bike Wheel Chock - $230 with reducer and quick release]

    Thoughts on ordering a hybrid R/GT Rocket?

    Yes, fair enough. Once the prices are released on Nov. 19th, I will go into the dealer and have a chat with them. My (only) dealer here in Lisbon seems pretty conservative, though, so I'm not too optimistic.

    Thoughts on ordering a hybrid R/GT Rocket?

    I am most worried about swapping the internally wired handlebars.

    Thoughts on ordering a hybrid R/GT Rocket?

    A couple of weeks ago I put down a refundable deposit on the new Rocket, but can't decide which model to order. I have read that all the parts specific to the R are interchangeable with the GT and vice versa, so am thinking of trying to order a hybrid. In a nutshell, I would like the GT in...

    I am ‘due for delivery’ around the end of January, all being well. Still can’t decide on the colour and trim combination, though... Current thinking is maybe a GT in grey with the handlebars and rear-mounted foot pegs??

    Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. There seem to be a lot of members from the States here (not that I have a problem with that); are there many guys from the UK/Europe? :)

    Bom dia, Rocketeers. Just put down a deposit on the new R here in Lisbon, having sold my feeble Street Triple RS Never even ridden a Rocket before, but I just can’t resist the way the new model looks... and 220Nm
