2020-v-2021-v-2022?

Good morning everyone. Looking to upgrade my Honda Valkyrie to a Rocket 3!! I'm looking at dealers, or possibly low mileage 2020 or 2021. Other that color/model, I can seem to find much difference between the 2020, 2021 and 2022 models? Has there been significant changes made between the 3 years? or anything I should stay away from? I'm pretty sure I want the GT model, but not sure I would like the pegs upfront all the time. I would like to ride it both in sport mode and on long rides cruiser mode. On my Valkyrie I have both standard pegs and up front cruiser foot rests.

Any advice?

Thanks
Wsaharem (Bill)

I'm always leery of first year models, especially Triumph. I'm looking at one last new bike, I really like the Harley Pan Am, but I'm not keen on buying a first year model. I'm pretty soured on Triumph, to be honest, out of all the various makes of bikes I've owned, I've only had major issues with three, unfortunately all three Triumphs I've owned. 2001 TT600 had fueling and starting issues, 2002 Sprint broke the crank, and Rocket transmission went. All were known issues for that model and/ or year.
