Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021

The Rocket 3 GT is a ship of a motorbike. Starting with the crazy engine and finishing with the long wheelbase. It's all the more surprising that Triumph's engineers have managed to teach it manners even in tighter bends. The Rocket 3's manoeuvrability is the real surprise of this 300-kilogram machine. All sorts of little helpers enable safe riding in every situation. It's great that we are allowed to drive such masterpieces of engineering - provided, of course, that we have the necessary money.

Authentic touring character

a monument of an engine, yet super controllable

good brakes

comfortable seating position

neutral handling

world record for displacement and torque

high-quality workmanship.

Sissybar not to everyone's taste

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

All in all, the new Z1000 is a successful further development of its predecessor. The lack of traction control is more of a marketing problem than a problem for end customers.

Powerful engine

rich sound

unique design

No traction control

nervous chassis
