2020 Triumph Rocket 3 (R and GT Models)

[Qball]

This bike has peaked my interest. I'll never sale or trade my '14 Gen II VMAX for this bike, but I may entertain the idea of giving my MAX a British stablemate.

The Limited Edition TFC of this motorcycle is sold out worldwide. They only produced 750 of the carbon fiber limited edition model. The initial prices on both remaining models of this bike were ridiculously high but have since come down to more realistic levels to about what I paid for my VMAX in 2014.

Longitudinal inline 2500 cc 3 cylinder with 4" pistons producing 165 hp and 163 ft. lbs of torque. More torque than any mass produced factory motorcycle on the planet. Interesting indeed.

Hell yeah. Those new Rocket 3s are hawt.

I had a chance to ride a Triumph 750 Trident along about 19 and 75. Always liked the brand.

Price????

As of Nov. 2019 the U.S. prices were set at $21,900 for the R model and $22,600 for the GT model. There's a scant difference between the two and it's only cosmetic. The GT has a low backrest, a relaxed handlebar, slightly forward foot pegs, and brushed aluminum finish on the wheel spokes.

That is a sweet looking bike. How much does it weigh?

About the same as my Gen II VMAX. 641 lbs dry for the R model and 648 lbs dry for the GT. I think my VMAX comes in right at 643 lbs dry.

They might be fast but they can not do this. Saw some field trials in Atlanta a few years back.
