I wish Triumph would build a Rocket III standard again

I like chrome and aluminum. Nothing against roadsters but at some point down the road my rocket is going to wear out. My only choices are going to be slim. A roadster or someone else's older R3. Old bikes go to hell whether you ride them or not. Things rust, rubber dries out, electrical connections corrode. I would like to be able to buy a newer Silver engined, chromed out bike just like the one I have. Anyone else feel like this ? I think they should continue to build the roadster but why not offer a standard as well ? Offer a color choice for the engine silver or black. Just thinking out loud so to speak. I think the older R3's have more soul.

I agree with you. If I was forced to have to buy a Roadster the first thing I'd have to do is move the pegs forward and the very next thing would be to paint the tins. Although I prefer the chrome and silver I could live with the black engine and forks but why Triumph decided to limit the tin choice to only black as well as black everything else out is beyond me.
