Been off of bikes for awhile and getting the itch again.
The R3 looks good on paper.
What to look for in a used bike.
What are the differences between the years?
What (if any) differences are there between the Touring and Roadster other than bags, exhaust, gauge location, wind screen and engine...
Last year I picked up a set of three JW Speaker LED reflectors for the front and it was a considerable upgrade in light output and looks even.
Which made me that much more aware of the other incandescents that littered the bike.
So, this year I decided I would complete the job and do a full...
I am new to this site and have not yet got a Triumph Rocket.
I’m looking at the Roadster 2015 model. I want to fit uprated mirrors, the larger cruiser style screen and the battery optimizer.
Can’t decide whether to fit the factory leather panniers. They seem rather big and I’m not going to...
Another F.N.G. to the R3 world. Bought my 07 R3 Classic about a month ago. Just in time to get ready for the Love Bugs. Blue and silver with light gray snake skin Corbin seat (not the color or pattern I would have chosen, but, oh well). Have a 2000 Honda Valkyrie Tour and there's a bit of...
Hello R3 owners,
I have been riding Yamaha Vmax 1200's since 1998 and love this machine. I have it all modded out to my likings (image attached), but I have always had my eye on a R3 for years. Power isnt a concern to me if you know the story behind the VMAX. My concerns are about how heavy...
My R3 classic has started to not start. The battery is charged and the clock says the right time. I put the key in and turn it to the start position expecting it to light up the dials and push the petrol gauge dial around and back down and make that reassuring whirring BUT it appears to be dead...
Hello everyone just purchased a 2016 R3 fell in love with her at my local Triumph dealer. I did not know what I was in for just loved the look, of course the sales rep told me how powerful she was but I had no idea.
I have finally found a keeper.
Hopefully someone will help me find an exhaust...

Newbe to this forum. I use the short form xian for Christian (like xmas for Christmas). Lazy or efficient?
Live in Québec just south of a village called Napierville, about 17 minutes north of Champlain, NY. Bought a 2006 R3 in 2014, bike year based on budget and it's awesomeness. Clearly a...
Well I am a picky bastard and I want what isn't made. So I started a project this winter of making my 07 classic more like a touring. You know, with the hard bags and dual exhausts, just not the skinny ass rear rim or the annoying gauge cluster in the tank. Although I would love a teardrop...
Hey Everyone!
So, the little chrome cover for the horn at the front of my Rocket 3, under the headlights, snapped off on a particularly bumpy road, with help from my tool kit.
I'm struggling to find a replacement anywhere. I don't mind if it's chrome or black, and it doesn't have to look...
Ok guys, please don't flame. I know there are tire threads all over, but I can't find the best sizes for my R3 anywhere. I'm wanting to run with the Bstone Excedra Max rear and an Avon Cobra front. Last I had written down was 150/89R17 & 240/55R16. Am I close?
Vmax rider for 26 years and got my rocket 3 years ago, an 04 plate with 20k on it. Had more hassle in the last 3 years than I ever had with the Max :mad:
Will persevere with it though and eventually get it sorted, beautiful bike when running right. Seems spanners arnt enough these days and you...
48 year old been riding since i was 4, had a friend tell me about the rocket bike he had seen on a trip. I was curious and wanted to learn more. 4 weeks later I sold my beloved 1700 Roadstar and bought my R3. Now waiting for snow to clear so I can ride it. I work on my own bikes and am looking...
