Before you buy, locate any color other than the slower red ones.

After you buy go darkside immediately.

After break in, install GiPro retard eliminator and remove secondary butterflys. Man does it wake up after that.

So about that new Rocket

I wouldn't plan any mods until you get at LEAST past your first service and break in, but that's just my 2 cents.

That being said, I've only had mine (2012 Roadster) since november and I'm changing a bunch of things. I've only put on 6000 miles, barely enough to get used to her, but I want to feel like she's free to reach her potential.

The bike, completely stock, is delightful. I found the stock exhaust to be a bit too subtle for my taste so I put the accessory mufflers on (lots of guys talk about having TORs. Mine are JUST the offroad silencers, not the collector etc.) and it made a world of difference to the sound but didn't change performance much. It's got a nice gentle pur at idle and roars in a satisfying way when opened up.

Don't know what you rode before this, but the Rocket is definitely a big girl with a lot of spirit. It will take some getting used to and even without any mods is loaded with power.

After installing the TOR'S (which stands for "Triumph Off Road") on my touring Rocket,it did give that purr that norseman said.

However to get that motor to wake up after installation, had mine reprogrammed at the Dealer. Cost me $45.00 holy $hit
At 45 mph I just twisted the throttle half way and in less when a second the speedo was at 70 mph.

Don't believe me, ask my witness, Officer Forke. And since he did not want to see a 55 year old man with a perfect record, cry like school girl. He gave me a careless driving ticket.

So watch what you wish for.
