- The Triumph Rocket 3 review you've been waiting for, this thing could tow the Titanic off the seabed! With 221Nm (163ft/lbs) of world leading torque, and 165bhp you'll need to hang on for dear life when you twist that throttle, but you are rewarded with the kind of power that would make Captain Kirk smile.

2.5 litres?! Finally, a bike I can take caravaning!
😂👍
In the early 80's Honda had the V65 Magna and Sabre: National speed limit was 55mph. Those bikes idled at 55! Amazing grunt and a wonderful sound. Sounds like the Big Viking brother to those guys.
Last 20 seconds made my day ! Brilliant !
Ha Ha thanks Urgi 👍
Haha yeah needs a reverse gear😙
@@barbieandbellaadventuresby9134 Actually it is the fact that I love people having the guts to make fun of themselves, having a great time laughing about themselves, a nice character trait I really appreciate :)
And - envelope please - the best editing award for a motorcycle review . . . Teapotone!
Thanks very much Walter! 🙇♂️👍
Knew you’d like it, Try being a 4” 11” 45kg girl, when it comes to the proper twistes this handles as well as my previous speed triple rs, ok my legs fly of the pegs now and then but my upper body strength has improved massively 😊
Great bike but to say it handles like a speed triple is ridiculous.
What a beautiful looking machine that Triumph Rocket is.
A nice piece of British engineering.
I don't generally comment but I had to compliment you on the drone work/editing. Top job Bruce. Nice bike too.
Thanks very much Mark 👍
Great vid, looking forward to more
Laughed so hard I spit out my coffee on the last 15 seconds. Been there, my friend! Just bought a new 2020 BMW K1600GT Premium, and THAT bike has reverse. Can't wait to try it out on my channel once the snow melts in a couple weeks. Come on over and watch all the fun! Here in the US, a lot of guys tour while pulling a trailer. I think you could pull a camper or caravan and forget it was back there with the Triumph. Keep up the good work!
That bike has got Terminator wrote all over it
Great vid Bruce
Ha Ha, yeah I couldn’t help comparing it to the Fat Boy in my head - I think the Fat Boy wins on sound, but the Triumph wins on everything else
The coolest muscle bike on the market. Sounds awesome too.
Great number plate FAK ! :-) The road at the end looked lethal , great review
Thanks Mick 👍
Thank you for posting. When you were describing the bike, I was not sure if you were talking about the bike or a Barbie doll. ;) Great looking bike. Sounds like a hoot to ride.
😂👍
Crackin job Bruce what a machine.Cheers 👍
I fucking love that
Fantastic review! Loving all the new camera angles. Like the bike, your channel is high quality! 👍🏻
Thanks a lot Chris, appreciate that bud 👍👏
Amazing looking bike with awesome torque. You'll have to get it back in the spring so that you can give it the beans.
Getting the front wheel drop in a rut like that at the end: I used to have it regularly with my old ST1100, - its that fine balance with the front brake keeping the pressure on the forks just long enough to help when you release and drag the bars back at the same time. Should be a name for it like ‘forking dance of revless reverse’
Love the new format more than my own comment. Shiny sides up!
Ha Ha thanks bud - aye it’s a very particular dance you have to do to hoist it out the rut eh! 😂👍
Nah! No such thing as too pervy where bikes or guns are concerned. Lovely looking bike.
Glad to hear how much you enjoyed it mate. I bought the GT just coming up a year ago and the torque never gets old. Made me laugh at the end, just to let you know I back my bikes into a shed up a steep ram, I've always pumped the bike backwards to get in. Note to self ... make sure you turn the Rocket off first, otherwise the first pull on the front brake to compress the forks puts the "Hill assist" on and applies the back brake, I was heaving and swearing until I saw the Green light.... lesson learnt lol
😂 Thanks for the heads up bud 👍
Absolutely love my new GT - picked it up in November and have just had the run in service. Bring on Spring !
Love the overhead shots of the bike as you were getting a bit pervy. Definitely some beautiful lines on this bike.
The last 20 seconds sums up the reality of living with this beast. Having said that. Would I buy one? Of bloody course I would! The reality is the 20k. So I'll wait until its 3 years old and 10k with 3 previous owners lol. Top vid mate
Great review Bruce, really good to get a riders perspective with informative details of the bike, with some great shots if the bike too. Top job.
Fantastic! I loved that review and it’s a bike that has been on my list since it came out.
Cheers Bud, glad you enjoyed it. Definitely worth taking one for a spin if you’re interested 👍
I got my R at the end of Sept. Options we’re forward controls from the GT (bad knees) heated grips, TPMS and quick shifter with blipper. Only done 1500 miles but what a bike..👍
That sounds a great machine to ride bud, enjoy it and stay safe 👍
Cheers mate.... it’s a red one, I’ll do a video when I get the chance... you’ve got a new subscriber👍
Awesome, and welcome to the channel 👍
Epic motorbike for sure. Gotta say this video looked a lot different. Camera work and editing was over the top fantastic. You’ve really taken to this TH-cam thingy with gusto. Well done Bruce. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
Thanks bud - I genuinely enjoyed filming and editing this👍
Nice one Bruce ! I like how you explaining and showing a little side vid to give a visual at the same time! 👌
I want one, because it’s totally mad. Great review and closing scene
Hello there Bruce, I love your Video, and you too! I do have something to say though, an apology if you like. Early last year, I can't really remember when, or your video, and I'm not wading through your past videos, but I wasn't exactly kind in my comments, bit of a euphorism there I think, rude and insulting I admit. But now is now, and I am sorry for that. Mind you, you did give me a hard time! Now, and then in fact, I like your stuff very much. Anyhow, stay Safe, Happy New year, in these awful times, all the Best. EriK.
Cheers Erik,
No worries bud, we all have good and bad days, and we don’t always see eye to eye - such is life.
Glad you enjoyed this vid 👍
OMG, best review I've ever seen. Even learned some new words. Trundling along....My R3 07 Classic Touring edition is scarey enough, cant imagine this. Clutchless mode, his 3.24 description cracks me up...just love hearing him say the brakes name too.
Thanks Joseph, glad you enjoyed it bud and I appreciate your comments 😂👍
Ok Triumph listen up (I've bought 2 new bikes off you in under 3 years), please give Teapotone a Rocket 3 for a long term review once the spring gets here! Bruse, not seen you gush so much over a bike like this since the Super Duke R, sounds like it tickled your danglies? Liking the new format buddy, top work.
Ha Ha cheers Mark, aye it’s a very impressive machine this. I’ll be begging and pleading Triumph to let me try the GT in the sun at some point 😉👍
Mega review, and mega edit! Loved this production Bruce🔝🎥🎬💯
Thanks very much bud, trying to change things up a bit 😉👍
I knew you’d like it Bruce!
Great review
Cheers Shaun, it’s a hell of a machine eh👍
That bike is like no other bike I’ve ever ridden, it’s quite hard to pinpoint what it is exactly, mind blowing to say the least. I’m quite lucky as a bike tech to have ridden so many different bikes, but it definitely is something unforgettable. Unfortunate you didn’t get to really hoon it, it’s crazy with TC off👌
Ha Ha I bet it is! 👍
Every review I've seen has been in awful weather haha. Still great to watch, just imagining a bit of sun nd dry roads 😍
Stop moving the sun with that there Triumph rocket thing... I'm sunbathing!
Really loving the style. You have given me all the info about the bike and a great idea of what it is to ride.
Cheers Colin 👍
Big beastie to come round the wee roads and find grit eh? Your wee bit at the end brought a smile, we have all been there lol.
Sounds fantastic that 🚀
Cool vid Bruce. Would like to have a go on one of them. Laughing at the bit at the end. I did that the first time I rode my monster. Stuck in the middle of nowhere with the front wheel in a ditch 🤣.
Love it! “It’s only coming alive when you go to jail!” 😂 That engine/exhaust note sounds great too! Not generally into cruisers/customs but I’d love one as a second bike 👍
Aye absolutely bud, I’m the same 👍
Such a well put together video. Loving the use of the drone. I wouldn't want a Rocket but I do love the look of the new one. Take care Bruce! 😀
Cheers Murt, appreciate that bud, you too 👍
The old heated gloves at full tilt 👍 (they’re good aren’t they), this kind of bike is built for lazy country back lanes on a summers evening........
Enjoyed the review Bruce, cheers mate
Cheers Andrew👍
Great video! We here at VikingBags really appreciate your content!
Thanks bud 👍
If you ride long enough, you might encounter that elusive and mystical dry road in bonnie Scotland.
Love the new style video, the ending was just great!
Thanks bud, great to hear so many folk are enjoying it 👍
Good review. Like your drone footage.
Thanks Martin 👍
Great new camera work on this one Bruce, really enjoyed the review.
Thanks bud
Brilliant review Bruce! Such a beautiful bike!
Thanks Edward, she’s a corker eh👍
When you open the trottle you aren't moving, you are rotating the earth under you.
💯% 👍
What happens if Chuck Norris is walking the other way ?!?
Then they both just nod at each other
excellent stuff! thanks for sharing.
Production values have just been taken another notch up. Nice one😁👌
Thanks Nick 👍
Starting to think i need one of these in the stable also. Another great review mate.
Ha Ha mate whatever you do, don’t test ride one - you’ll buy it! The power is just fantastic - needs new exhaust system though as the stock one strangles it, but I’d bet she makes a beautiful noise when free to breathe properly 👍
Great vid I'm liking the new style .
Bet you wish it had a reverse gear at the end of the video
Ha Ha thanks Paul, glad you liked it 👍
Fantastic camera work, Bruce! Great overheads and fast zooms... looks Pro! 👍
Well thanks, now I want to go riding but the driveway has an inch of ice and snow on it and the street down to the main road is ice packed. ;) Loved the vid and the review!
Thanks Bradley 👍
Perhaps the ideal engine to transplant into Mrs Teapot's camper?
A beast.
Ha Ha absolutely 👍
That’s bloody hell of x mech mate
awesome review mate!---i never heard of this beast, - (no, .....you were not being a pervert...from the above shot photo, it does look very curvy and beautiful.)
Great review, Wonderful bike.
Cheers and well done Triumph.
Thanks Splodge 👍
Great video Bruce, I reckon that will be a great second bike (if I could only afford it ).
I've been looking forward to this one :) Haha ahhh yes the old go to jail very quickly bikes....My gsxr is a bit like that, not sure how I'm going to blank the speedo :D Great video man, I love the look of that bike!! Hopefully Irish dealerships let me take out bikes eventually like this, that'd be my life made :D
PS you should totally try to get it back in the warmer weather, I'd love to see you up around some nice roads on it!
Thanks bud,
Aye I’d love to try the GT on some warm, great roads - maybe even do a wee trip somewhere on it 👍
@@teapotone A trip eh! You know I'll never stop suggesting visiting over here 😁😁😁
100% doing it this year mate - if we are allowed 🙏🤞
@@teapotone Awesome man, hopefully we are I want to get across to ye as well!
I do like this motorcycle. I particularly like the Ducati like rear swinging arm, suits the style of the bike.
Would love to ride one🤔
Another great review
Defo a money no object bike ... loving the rut wrestle at the end 🤣🤣👍
Ha Ha I could’ve done with you there to help lift it out! 😂👍
@@teapotone needs 2 wheel drive 🤣
What a brilliant review - subscribed. I love my R3!
Cheers Jet 👍
Get it to the Autobahn and twist that throttle!
Great Video Bruce with some great footage too, what an amazing bike am definitely going to have to throw a leg over one and see for myself! Take care Jake.
Cheers Jake 👍
The GT comes with heated grips and Triumph offer them as an optional extra for the R
Beautiful looking bike. Must test ride one as soon as we are able. Great vid 👍
Come on down to Ashford, we'll have a lil rideout 👍🏻
A really good review another one of my top 5 if money was no object , loved the original rocket until I rode it , but this is on another level finally a rocket that handles , I would definitely go get yourself another ride on a hot sunny day lol 😂 keep up the good work 😎☝️🇬🇧👌🇬🇧🏍
Cheers Buddy, aye I really hope I get to try it in the warm and dry again 👍
@@teapotone lol definitely do I am officially the first person in the world to get 3 points from that bike luckily for me we were at a point were we didn’t yet have traction control or it could have been a ban lol 😂
Awesome.
There was a guy (Mark Holmes) at the Overland event who took an earlier Rocket X around the whole! Worth a listen if you're there this year.
I'm curious as to what mic your using and where it was placed to capture such good exhaust sound?
Fantastic review by the way.
Hi John,
I use two mics - on in my helmet for my voice, and an external sound recorder in my rucksack for the engine noise
Hi Bruce ,
Love the new style reviews , Keep it up !
Thanks very much 🙏👍
Love the end lol
wow, thats nearly energica levels of torque ;-P lol, nice to see ICE engines catching up pmsl
😉👍
A really good review.
221nm omg.
Definitely a rocket 🚀
Loved the end with you stuck. Done the same myself, tried to turn around on a country road driveway with a slope. Wont be trying that again. And my ninja isn't as heavy as that triumph.
Ha Ha yeah it’s a lump to turn around in a wee road for sure 😂
Don’t accelerate too hard, you’ll spill my tea when the earth jults. 😍 Why do I want one but at the same time not, dilemmas. 😊
Love the look of the rocket great review, shame the ruroc has let you down again! Are you going to do a warts and all review of the lid?
Great review Bruce and awesome bike. I was very tempted until I saw a guy my age and my weight (which is more than it should be). I made a point of following him for a few miles and sadly he looked like a complete knob. I can’t figure out why - whether it was the gear he was wearing or riding like it was a 125?. Really killed it for me and I’m sooooo disappointed !!!
Take one for a spin for yourself bud, it may change your mind again 👍
Ask it to move the sun pretty damn quick- its feckin freezin
No reverse gear then !!!!!! Love it !!
The best part of the video was the aerial view of that attempt at a multi-point turn. LOL! I need to know: Did he get it turned around, or is he still out there tugging on it?
Ha Ha I’m pretty sure there are laws against ‘tugging at it’ in public 😂
I love the 3 point turn, are you still doing it😂 Wot no reverse gear🤔
Ha Ha I got out.... eventually 😉
50k is on the doorstep! 🙌🏽
Ha Ha thanks man, it’s taking it’s time though! 😂👍
Torque beats bhp every time. Feels great too.
Its why the MT01 was such a brilliant bike, ahead of its time.
I can almost see the newer version already. Street triple headlights to replace those round ones. Coming soon I bet
Nothing but love for the channel me ol' mate, but do you think you could chuck up the Lb/ft for some of us dinosaurs who don't know what a "Newton Meter" is!
Another fantastic upload - those drone shots were perfect.
I’ll try bud, the specs are usually in Nm so I’d need to google it to convert to lb/ft - which is same as anyone can do 🤷♂️
@@teapotone You don't need more work to do to put these videos together... don't worry, for those who care, we can always Google it ourselves. Keep up the good work and thank you 👍🏻
My pleasure bud👍
Man that is a weapon when you think a 2.5 car is no slouch in a bike taking power to weight Missile comes to mind for me to big but I would like a go on one , the price is scary too one word WOW . Nice one Bruce : )
So muddy in those parts! Balls of steel brother! 👌
Made from Girders! 😉
Weird to see you on local roads, know that area down by Leeds castle very well 😁
You sir, do not need to grow a pair! I , on the other hand need to start planning the sale of my 1290 SDR and start saving to get the Rocket lll R with cissy bar
No reverse tp1?!! ... such a mega bike, good viewing, proves its worth, be nice if you get the Rocket back for mid springtime for a blast though 💯 class 🌠
Thanks Debbie - ha ha yeah i could’ve done with reverse there at the end! 👍😂
@@teapotone its all in the outtakes! 😆 ... I used to struggle moving the cbr500rr, I cannot imagine how difficult the Rocket is to paddle on a curve footwwise 🙈
Helpful review as always Bruce. I rode a street glide 1800 and invoked similar feelings. This looks like a level above though. The price is just too far away from what I can afford though 😳
Aye it’s a LOT of cash
2:22 and here on the left we see a social distance conversation
O Bruce you have to get that bike back for the summer.
Here’s hoping bud 👍
Did you borrow this from Laguna or Triumph directly? It is a grotty time of year for that bike. I’d defo get it back for the warmer dry days.
Nice editing. Good job.
Thanks bud 👍
Had the previous model roadster for 2 years, awesome machine but if you’re in your 50’s the weight gets tiresome eventually... went for the more sensible 2020 Superduke R
Got to be the perfect road riding bike that, absolutely love it 👍👏
