    I bought a brand new BSA Rocket 3 back in 1969 in Ontario Canada, it cost me $1800.00. I believe it had 58 h.p. and I thought it was snappy. I started off with a 1959 Ariel Square 4 which was very smooth and I thought quick back in the day. I can only imagine what that new Rocket 3 is like.👍👍

I can’t remember how long I kept it but I ended up selling it and made nothing on it. Today it would be worth big bucks. I’m not sure which year I bought it but it was approximately 1965.

    I managed to get one of these in Ireland . Only 2 made it here into the north. I love it !! Nicely done Dan. The keyfob thing happens fairly regularly i find it's better in a top pocket. I even tried changing the battery. Always make sure you turn the fob off when you aren't riding it to save battery. I agree on the gt position. R is more comfy for me. I haven't really got used to the heat of the engine at slower speeds on warm days in the city. Very hot on the legs. I put a black screen on mine and the single seat pillion conversion. Will get the heated grips and tyre pressure sensor added at first service.

    For me the test is what distance you do and the purpose of your purchase. I have an upright riding BMW (R1250R), can ride all day. Had once a Suzuki GSX750, superb bike to ride, excellent handling, but had enough after 1 hour (arms ached). Had a previous BMW and truthfully rode from Hertfordshire to Skye pretty much non-stop save for fuel and eats. Bike did not miss a beat. The Rocket offers an upright position, but it looks like a missile one sits on. What is is like for maneuvering around a drive or in a garage.

      I’ve always said the engine size doesn’t matter for a first bike it’s the size of the bike that matters. You don’t want a big bulky bike to learn on but a big engine can be fully controlled with throttle and clutch control.

    The keyfob just needed a new battery. It was the same with mine when I picked up a new Rocket 3. You can turn the fob on and off and people forget and leave them on too long. Ride the R a decent distance (250 miles) on a day trip, and you'll want the GT.
