In the UK we had a car called the Ford Capri - it was loved by many, then they ceased production. It was replaced by the so called updated version Ford Probe - never really took off. In my opinion the R3 and R3R are only linked by the name Rocket. It is a shame that they used the Rocket name as it is far removed from the original. Again only my opinion and not probably one of the masses..
I wanted a probe , thought they looked cool. Did not realize it was next gen capri.
R3R does not replace roadster imo. Should have called it something else. I guess street triple already used
Maybe "Triumph low rider"
I do agree that the new bike is not what we all came to expect as a Rocket but will be some new comers that really appreciate it. I love the old one and will keep it but I’m stoked about getting one of the new ones.
