Hello everybody,
I purchased a 2011 Triumph Rocket III Roadster about 2 weeks ago and i believe it to be one of the nicest cruiser bikes I have ever rode. Not to mention it has some serious bawlz when the throttle is open. I Went through the 80's bike thing to start, then rode a Honda VTX1800...
Hi there guys, just introducing myself. I'm down in Mandurah WA, but moving to Kalgoorlie in a few months time. Got an older ZZR1100 that's been a great old war horse, but the time is drawing nigh to trade her in. After a lot of research I'm up for a Rocket III Roadster nearer to the end of the...
Just a heads up for anyone in the UK with a Roadster and looking to fit TORS, there's a special on them at the moment £260.

Hi from New Zealand. First time on the site. I'm thinking of selling my Harley (please keep jokes short) and buying a Roadster. I'm looking at a 2008 and a 2012. Is there any real difference and did the 2008 have the little problems sorted out from the previous years. Ta Ady.
I am trying to decide whether to buy the earlier model roadster without the enhancements or a later model with the enhancements.
I have an opportunity to get a great deal on an earlier model.
Has anybody ridden both that could tell how dramatic the difference is?:cool:
Took my 05 into trade,at the dealer in Lex. KY, on a 2013 Roadster or touring model! I Was offering my 05 , which has has all options including CB and Skyfi radio. Bike runs excellent an always garaged, 18,00 miles on her! They offered me $4,300 as a trade?
I want to get a bike that is...
Just got back from the track with my 12' Roadster. Carpenter pipe, Carpenter tune and K and N's. Best I could muster was a 11.97 and I don't suck at riding. What the hell is wrong? Are the secondary butterflies slowing me down? Any ideas? So far this thing is a big disappointment and the...
Hi All:
My 2013 Roadster finally delivered and thought I'd jot down my initial thoughts and impressions. Hopefully it's of interest to those here and perhaps some help to those 'kicking the tires'. In 13 days I've ridden 400 miles and am waiting to hit 700 or 800 before taking it on some...
Hi my name is Pete and I live in Australia and I am just doing some reading before buying. I have been riding for about 40 years now, my brother had a classic back in 09 and it was nice to ride but he turns over bikes ever 2 years so we never did see how the reliability of the panned out. When...
My daughter and I took a drive today and took a new Roadster for a test ride. Here are some observations.....
1) It feels like a much lighter bike than it actually is.
2) It handles better, steers better and corners better than my
Touring.
3) Its fast :D
Here is a video of me in...
I was about ready to purchase Rivco risers for my 2013 Roadster, when I made a last minute query to Rivco about the part number. The answer from their "Main Tech. Guy" was that the risers were for the Touring, Classic, and Standard only, NOT for the Roadster. So, having had no experience with...
I just now received my current issue of Motorcycle Consumer News!
True to the editor's word - There is a Rocket Roadster test in the June issue.
The title reads, "Heavyweight HOT ROD Touring - Triumph's Rocket III Roadster vs Honda's Gold Wing F6B"
This has gotta be good - think I shall savor...
I have an 05 R3 with the stock 3 pipe exhaust system. I want to replace it with a dual system. I really like the stock exhaust on the new Roadster but I'm not sure if it will fit my 05. The Rocket's design has been similar since the first bike in 04, so I'm hoping they will fit. Anyone out there...
Anyone know if the crossover in the 2013 Roadster is free-flowing or is it restricted with baffles (or something similar)? Just wondering if it's suggested to replace it with something like the Staintunes crossover or just leave it as is if it's not restricting the exhaust flow.
If anyone out there are getting rid of thier std Roadster footrest rails and controls I would be very interested as can't get on with the forward footboards on my Classic.
I been writing Dave Searle, editor of Motorcycle Consumer News about why no Rocket test since the inaugural 2004 model?
Well he just wrote me back and said they have tested the new Roadster and will publish it in the June Edition.
BE ON THE LOOK OUT

As per the picture, I have had a small amount of gear oil leaking from this chrome cap, is this just an overflow? I had my bike in the shop to have the caliper replaced in the fall, but there shouldn't have been any reason for them to change/add fluid, so not sure why this is happening...
Hi there
My brake make so much noise on the front when pulling up to stop.
What are the best pads to use.
Any help would be great is getting a little embarrassing to say the least
Cheers Howie
