Wishes for the 2013 Rocket 3?

[rocketbill]

What does everyone want for the next rocket? Or keep it as it is. Possibly a bigger engine 3 liter, but then they would probably have to add reverse. Better stock seats. heated grips for me, i think all bikes should have these, but i dont live in Texas, Arizona, etc. Better stock suspension would be good. I think the new colors are great that phantom haze blue or whatever they are calling it is very nice. Maybe a tweak in the look a single big headlight out front, 280 back tire. Lets hear some ideas.

Thats easy, a true touring bike with all the goodies of an Ultraclassic or Goldwing. Don't think that will ever happen though. Triumph is focusing on adventure bikes and smaller touring bikes such as the Trophy, both excellent rides one of which may be my next bike. Triumph has the most diverse and interesting line of bikes, by far, than any other manufacturer.

3.0 litre 280 -300 rear 6speed with reverse
different sized mags so we have more choice in tyres
factory supercharger

Gosh I just got done reading up on the Trophy and I really like that bike!

6th gear.
Ditch the touring model and make every Rocket one of two models,
either a Roadster or "true" Touring model with all the bells and whistles.
But with the two headlights, same gauges as the classic or standard,
only chromed METAL instead of cheap plastic.

 

[rocketbill]

Yes, Yes , Yes, Chromed plastic is lame. If it makes the bike too heavy then put a bigger engine in it.

I like to see a gas gauge that's accurate. A removable wind screen and sissy bar. I gear indicator would be nice,i always appreciated the one on my old GT550 Suzuki. Seat definately needs work. More power is always a plus..

I love my 2013 but it would be nice to have abs they say it was to have it but it dont I would love a cruise control as it is made for this maybe a bigger motor can never be to big other than that it all ready has removeable windscreen and same for passanger back rest off and on in less than 10 sec.

 

[CanberraR3]

Whatever it is it MUST HAVE:
Light relays.
Adjustable shocks.
Stronger starter.
Moveable foot pegs/boards.
ABS

NICE TO HAVE:
No 3.0 for me; 2.5-2.8 would be plenty developing 200hp/200ft lbs.
6 gears + reverse.
Auto tune built in and/or smarter ECU.
280 rear.

And for those who want:
Easy off screen, sissy bar and bags
