Hey all, just want to say that I am enjoying reading some of the many posts on this site as I try to learn more about my R3. I have owned a Kawasaki ZX-12R for about 10 years now and I have enjoyed riding it and learning about it, but I have feeling that chapter is coming to a close. I find it...
I've ridden Harleys almost all my life. Over the past 7 years I owned several Hayabusas. Last year I bought an 09 Fatbob from Orlando HD. While I was waiting for it to be prepped, I took a preowned R3 for a test ride and it's haunted me ever since :cool: I really love the Fatbob, but can't...
Hello all. After dreaming about getting a rocket for the past couple of years i ordered mine in November and the dealer got 1 in December and held it until i was ready to pick it up. Today was the day. I only had time to ride her home but plan on having some quality riding time tomorrow. I have...
I checked out two makes of "batwing" style stereo equipped fairings for the Rocket III Touring. The Hoppe Quadzilla is a quick detchable using the fork mounting points of our quick-detach windshield. List price is$1695.95 USD, but I priced some extras including the gloss black paintjob and my...
So I'm in the planning and decision phase of my next adventure this summer. One of the routes I was considering is a ride through New England and Eastern Canada. It seems like some beautiful country and one heck of an adventure but I'm quite concerned about a 750lb bike with a 240 rear tire...
Howdy again,
I had begun my time on this forum as "OzzmanR3" but I was never quite comfortable with that title. I began life on another forum as JoseyR3Wales and that has always been my preference but due to personal misgivings about content elsewhere I chose to use something different here. I...
I'm thinking of moving up to an 08 Tourer from an 02 Honda Shadow Sabre. Going to look at it Friday.
Are there any specific things I should look for? Do most of you pull your own maintenance? Are parts and accessories easy to find? Are there after market exhaust pipes available that are...
I am the excited owner of a new 2010 R3T - picked her up from the showroom on the 11th of December; which coincidently is my wifes birthday - so guess what she got for her birthday??? You guessed it - an R3T and she is absolutely thrilled with it. Anyway we are lovin' the R3T - her name is...

The 2010 R3 Touring that I was looking at yesterday was in solid black, and comes with a lot of extras that would amount to a pile of money if one was to buy it from their catalog.
The biggest knock against this bike is that since it's not a 2011, it doesn't have ABS, apparently the 2011s...
Hi, new guy here!
I was looking at a Rocket III Touring bike at our local Triumph dealer today and was looking at the hard saddlebags, they seem quite roomy, almost look identical to the ones on the Yamaha Royal Star Venture.
But I happened to stumble onto this here web page:
Saddle Bag...
Okay, so I've decided on used R3 Touring model and if all goes well I should be getting one in a couple of weeks (Yeeehaaa...chomping at the bit!!!). Before I go all in and do this... I have a question about the exhaust sound.
Of all the downside features of the R3 (Touring or otherwise) for...
Got rid of the Yamaha 1300 tourer for a brand new 2011 R3T Blk/Wht about a month ago. Liked the Yamaha and have owned several, but love the R3T. Lots more power and easier to ride.
I have read several threads on the forums and learned a lot about upgrading the bike for sound and performance...
The Rocket started jumping out of gear Sunday. Just happened every now and then. Annoying! Yesterday road it to work. It would jump out of second, fourth and third. Would go into neutral (or false neutral) when shifting 1-2 or 2-1, 3-4 or 4-3, 4-5 or 5-4. Once in gear, I would be driving along...
I have an 08 R3T with TORS and underseat K&N. I have downloaded theTORS tune with secondaries at 100%. I would like to go to the next step with pod filters.
My question is, I read somewhere there are pod filters for trhe R3T that do not require removing or modifing the bear claw. Anyone...
The December issue of Baggers Magazine contains a feature length test of the R3T, garnered over a 3,300 mile trip.
The review is very objective and positive. the only real drawbacks identified were the heavy throttle and lack of cruise control and the lack of ABS, while noting the very...
