I'd have one of those phones if they made a "REDBERRY" . Then it would be like an eight "G"

Does anyone know how many Standard Triumph Rocket III's were produced from 2004 till the time they stopped making them. For the past eight years i have only run into five or six here in the New England area and i've yet to see a Touring or a Roadster on the road. Are our numbers dwindling or is it just demographics..? After eight years i still get the crowds looking the Rocket over, and saying i've heard of the bike but this is the first time i've ever seen one.

mines an MY07 but first registered Jan 09, still dont know what it is, bought with the bags, screen etc. How do you tell the difference?

Alan, the most obvious differences between the Standard and Classic were:

Standard: pegs, single seat with pillion pad, angle cut exhaust tips.

Classic: foot boards, pull back handle bars, dual touring seat, tapered exhaust tips and 2 tone paint. I think they also had the chrome rocker cover as standard.
