Title: One BADASS bike at Long Beach show!!
Post by: fkhan726 on December 05, 2019, 12:49:23 PM
Guess which bike this is reincarnated for 2019?  If your into torque and muscle bikes, this is a powerhouse.  Not going to replace my Harley but I can see this in my garage.

I'm guessing this is the butt end of the new, redesigned Rocket 3... :2vrolijk_21:

Can't wait to see it in person...k'ville dealer is getting one any time now... ;D

You got it Haird.  impressive bike and I found it interesting that it was drawing the Harley crowd.  A 2500 cc motor with 165 HP and 163 torque on a relatively light 640lb bike (compared to my RGU).  I'm sure this monster moves.  I was not a fan of the old rocket but this has my attention....

That does look like a fine machine.  :2vrolijk_21: Triumph makes a great bike, I bought a new 1995 Triumph Daytona 1200 back in the day and wow is all I got to say. Had to get rid of her around 2000 so I could hang on to my driving privilages.

Just Ride!

Let me know what you think when you ride it.  Looks like we get them here in Vegas early January.

I always liked their speed triple and the ducati monster, but at 5'10" and 250 lbs I looked like a circus elephant on those.  Always wished they released a larger version and looks like I finally got it.   ;D

Shaped very similarly to a Ducati Diavel, until you get to the motor. Ducati is a better looking bike IMHO.

Nice looking bike not sure how comfortable for long rides or two up. I also wonder about that exposed rear tire (wonder if it would throw up water,mud or debris onto back of passenger or rider?) Could make you look like a skunk.... :huepfenlol2:

Two up...not a chance.  My wife took one look and it was 'Yeah, have fun with that'.  We cover 15k - 18k miles a year so our Road glide ultra is the best choice for touring but I can see this being a blast on shorter trips/twisties.
