Ride
Triumph Rocket 3 Phantom Black
Hello!!

Last week I have been for a test ride on the new Rocket 3. What a machine! Until now I was driving a KTM Super Duke R. Lovely bike but I was looking for something more comfy and laid back. However, I still wanted the buzz of the torque. I found a Phantom Black in stock and picked it up last Saturday. I got a good deal with the Quickshifter and heated grips included. But unfortunately they are in back order. Apparently Triumph have sold out the accessories. Breaking in is not such a problem. There is lots of fun under 4k rpm. It slides so nicely in the corners!
 
Welcome from California. Sounds like you really like your new bike!
 
Welcome from France,
Have some fun with your nice toy.
It is funny as R owners are changing a few accessories which are standard on GT and GT owners do the contrary.
As somebody said here, the best one is a GT-R
 
I am from Belgium. Not far.
Indeed, the heated grips are standard on the GT. But the position of the GT is not for me.
 
Welcome from Florida! ...and enjoy your new Permanent Grin
