Had a play today

Shame you didn't get a side by side shot.

Interesting comment on the dash/buttons and reading glasses. I know EXACTLY what you mean.

Yeah I've thought about a new rocket but honestly the old rocket was almost too small for me

The GT has forward pegs and different seat - still not sure as to carrying pillion though - it is a smaller bike. Whereas...........

agree

Had the chance of taking R3R for 3 hours today. Nice bike great power and brakes needs a screen post 70mph but all in all impressed.

You look big on the bike, I would look even bigger on it, it’s a really nice bike to me

Nice report thanks.

Very nice. They need to come up with a touring type windshield. I wouldn't call the thing they have on there a windshield. It looks useless. Sitting on the bike it doesn't seem proportional. It has a short ass end. I still like it. At 5'9" it should fit me well. Also, concerning the foot pegs. Isn't the GT a few inches forward with 2 or 3 different positions?

A Windvest will go on there quick and cheap.

Sweet looking new R3R. It's going to have to grow on me before I even think about another bike now since my Rocket Roadster!

Still looks small and 'plasticky' to me

John , has father Xmas stolen your bike ? Congrats on the purchase mate , must be the best Xmas ever !
Nothing worse than being told a bike looks too small , personally , I like to think it's caused by the camera angle ?
It does seem to me tho , that Triumph have sold us bigger guys down the river , anticipating more sales by aiming the world's largest production bike at a broader section of riders , namely those of the 5foot 6 category who would normally gravitate towards the Bobber or Triple ! I did kind of have my heart set on one , but when I saw it in the flesh , it dawned on me that unless the thing could be jacked up 4inches , it would feel way to small for me ! Looks like I shall be saving some money ? I say some , as my mind has been made up . My 2010 roadster definitely stays , with the now imminent addition of a Neville lush 200+ hp kit and undercut gearbox . It's gonna be a while before any new R3 will keep up with that !
