- Triumph Rocket 3 R 2021
Well where do i start ?
First time to the Triumph family.
Since my first bike which was a BMW R51/3 what followed was always from the German brand.
After the R51/3 (which i still own) i bought an R 1200 Cruiser which i waited for 6 months and i kept it only four. That bike was wrong in every aspect at that time for me. Anyway, then i moved to a R 1200 Rockster. I travelled many countries in Europe with that bike. I loved it very much for what it was but after two years the K 1200 R came out and it was a love at first sight. I kept the K for 15 years and if i didn't had so many problems the last three years probably i would still be riding it. After that a BMW R NineT followed. Brilliant motorcycle with a lot of soul but it was a little too small for me, or at least in my eyes. After deciding that i am need of something else i naturally turned again to the Bavarian side to see what's there for me. I had an interest for the R18 but at the same time i was in need for something more young at heart and sporty. I am 47 y/o and the R18 seemed to me it's a bike for the "retired" motorcyclists. Don't get me wrong i don't want to sound offensive to the riders who are older than me (hey i am not a young person my self as well) and i think you get the idea of how i mean it. Too laid back for me. Then since it was the first time in my life that i did not found something interesting from the BMW i remembered about the Rocket. Long story short as soon as i sold the NineT (twenty days ago) i went for a test ride for the Rocket 3 R. The rest is history. I have a 2021 R in my garage and of course i absolutely love it. Happy to be here, happy to exchange thoughts and gather wisdom.
all the best to the Rocketeers out there around the Globe.
