Yeah, I posted there too. This forum seems to be kind of dead. Trying to stimulate some conversation relative to new owners. My sense at the dealer level is that Triumph is gaining in popularity. Maybe long time members here feel like it’s all been discussed before so aren’t interested in repeating information. If that’s the case, not much reason for me to spend time here.

Oh, and “****** rockets” is censored?!?!?

Can't remember when I bought my first Rocket, a '06 Classic. I'd guesstimate 8 or 9 years ago. Has approximately 38,000 miles now and still runs great. Replaced the crappy ignition with a keyless system. The speedo/odometer stopped working a year or so ago and replaced with a GPS speedo/odometer that works fine. Owned an '08 Touring model for a few years but gave in to my wife's pleas to make more garage space for her stuff and sold it. Great bike, no problems. Wife has now lightened up on garage space since I bought her a Tuff Shed for her stuff. So, then I immediately jumped on a '15 Rocket Roadster ABS with only 8500 miles. Jury is still out on this bike because I am having an awful time adjusting to the tiny foot pegs and the toe only shifter. Despite adjusting shift lever out to the max I can't get my size 14 boots under the toe shifter. That results in only being able to force my boot toe end over to the right against the tiny shifter toe peg to force the shifter upward, very awkward. The low mileage, it's ABS, it's Corbin fairing, it's nice custom crossover pipe, etc. persuaded me to buy it for only $5K.....but man, the tiny foot pegs and toe only shifter really suck. Would be fine for a smaller and younger man but apparently I am too old, too fat and too **** big for the Roadster style.

8 months 2 days. 2025 GT that I converted to mid controls, added a windshield that actually works(madstad), made a bigger passenger back rest, added a Compitition Werkes exhaust and tuned with the BT Moto tune. Couldn't be happier.

You got a CW exhaust for a ‘25? I was under the impression that the 182hp engines added a second O2 sensor thereby invalidating all previous exhausts and tunings. Not so???
