R3 tfc



Fair points, certainly not bragging, I always join the forum for the bike when buying.
I have not ridden a big cruiser type bike and was seeking advice from people that may have had a similar biking experience.
I understand no one has ridden the tfc but I can’t imagine the current R3 to be hugely different.
I brought the launch explorer model when it came out and it was an awesome bike so I’m hoping the r3 will be as good an experience but obviously completely different.
I will look through the posts and of course ride one to understand how a big bike handles in comparison.

The bike will be good, there's no question. Triumph haven't released a bike that didn't feel good as delivered in the last 10 years.

They have a signature feel regarding handling. Ride a new Street Triple if you don't know the Triumph feel. It's a good feel that's confidence inspiring.
 
Theres many men would like to be in your shoes right now mate including me...congrats on your order and welcome to the forum

Just my 2 Bolivars worth . . .
When purchased in 2012, my 2012 R3R was at 0 miles & was matte black as well. 65,000 miles later, I still thrill ti ride "Kong".
For such a large bike, it handles OK. I know the Goldwings handle better. BUT, the Roadster can be easily made to handle much better.
For a hard rider, who has grown old and can no longer bend his body around a hot sport bike all day, I've found nothing better!
