HIGH MILEAGE ROCKETS

[LAS VEGAS DAVE]

Wondering what kind of high mileage some of the Rockets have achieved and what if anything had to be replaced other than tires and brake pads.

Have six bikes two of them are Rockets my 2005 has 75000 miles and has been the most reliable bike that Triumph has ever or will ever build, so reliable in fact it still has the original TPS.

Thanks, I don't know about the modern stuff. My idea of a TPS is my wrist! The Rocket is the first bike I ever had with fuel injection. Congratulations on getting that mileage trouble free.

83,000 miles. 2007 Classic. Lots of tires and front brakes, couple sets of rear brakes, couple batteries, three TPS's, ignition switch, broken gear shift detent spring, locking fuel cap, infamous "upgrade kit" at 4200 miles, throttle grip but JB Weld has been holding for the last 32,000 miles. Infinite number of ear to ear grins.
