getting used to it!

[Stan]

So far I had few days on the new Rocket3
still getting used to it and not pushing the limits
I can def say that its a mad bike and I am glad to own this beast.
coming from M109 there are not a lot of bikes out there that can make me smile.
This bike is another level in "cruiser" market.

Congrats Stan. Nothing like a Rocket either 2.3 or 2.5.

To me this bike reminds me of my 109 but better. Handles better for sure and much better fit and finish. This will be the bike the 109 guys trade up for I think.

Some of us did that a long time ago
I traded my M109 and C109 for my 2012 Roadster

I rode the older R3 roadster few years back.
Didnt think it would ride as well as it did.
However dealer told me they don't make them anymore and I was still madly in love with my 109.
About a year after that Triumph announced that new R3 will be in production, so I'm glad I hung around.
109 was a great bike! Nothing came close to it in 10 years I owned it.

Hi stan
welcome to the forum from New Zealand, just wondering if the new model still runs ont he lower octane fuel or if they have made improvements to the motor which now mean it has to run on the superor high octane petrol.....cheers

Yep, the 109 was and still is a Badass cruiser.

Thanks
I believe they say 95 in the specs , but I always use 98 for my bikes.
I have a daytona675 on my wheelie machine as well and also run 98.
