Considering buying a Rocket
My 2005 Rocket has 70000miles trouble free miles in fact my rocket is probably the most reliable bike that Triumph ever built, I would be more concerned about putting a fairing on a bike than buying a pre 2008 model

Does the fairing experience an vibration at high speeds?
Are you satisfied with its wind protection?
There are a few different batwing fairings for the rocket and Corbin's looks the most suiting but I think it's the most expensive.
 
The fairing is rock solid. Yes it is expensive, but to me the quality, performance and styling that suits me make it worth it. I get adequate wind protection yet still get enough wind to enjoy it. The stock windshield is a curved low profile and only 6" high at the center. This summer for the trip to RAA XI in SD I added a new windshield from Long Ride Shields. It is 9" high and a bit more flat across the top and it provides a bit more protection from the helmet buffeting.

Hello Cdub and welcome from Virginia. Since you are currently riding a 12RT, the R3R may be a better fit as it's sitting position is closer to the BMW's. But don't write off the R3T just yet, It has much more power than the 12RT and can a heck of a lot of miles a day. 10-12 hours a days is no problem for me and the floor boards are a great thing to have. 2014 with 43K miles and lovin' every minute of the ride.
 
Idaho RR3 , I see 1 of your pictures all your lights are taped over. Did you take your bike to track course some where , what kind, how was it !
