Been looking at new Rockets since they came out, been on the fence for long time, mainly due to the price.
Now that the used ones are hitting the market and are at my level, i may get one.
How reliable are they? Any known issues? We just lost the Triumph dealership here in Tulsa, and the reason for local dealers dropping Triumph was the same as the last 3 over a 25year period of time; "Triumph is a very difficult company to deal with". Which means i would have to drive a few hundred miles to find a reliable Triumph mechanic, nobody wants to touch a Triumph here in Tulsa.
With that being said, there are a few bikes here that caught my eye, this particular one i really like, i can get it for $11,500, it has 15k miles and looks very good.
thoughts?? comments?
 
It's a solid bike Lupe. You may want to test ride it to make sure everything is good. It's lighter and nimbler than the Gen 1 bikes. It comes with cruise control, heated grips and lots of goodies from the factory. If the throttle is still factory restricted in SPORT mode, you can clear that with TuneECU. Adds about 30HP on top.
 
Lupe these bikes are sweet. They are more a Roadster, so not so much a touring bike like you can modify the Gen 1 bikes to be. If you want to do some tuning and play with the ECU stay away from the 2024 - 2026. They are locked and only a few folks have cracked them and want $800 to give you "Their" tune. We cant play with "Thier" tune. The 2020 to 2023 are good for us to play with TuneECU ourselves. The one in the picture looks like a 2023 by the paint.

BTW: Let me know where this bike is. I would like to buy it.
 
They just dropped the price to 11k, send me your number via pm and will give you the info, is on marketplace and we dont wanna break any laws here
