Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Rocket III Roadster 2017

The name says it all. While you're at it, optimise the rideability, why not add more power? Triumph perhaps thought the Roadster was underpowered with the 2.3 litre nuclear power plant and, with the installation of a new exhaust system and a few key combinations, increased the power and torque

Sporty feel

brutal power delivery

quiet, pleasant engine

ABS.

Very high total weight

complicated handling

not for inexperienced motorcyclists

Triumph Rocket 3 R 2023

Despite its weight and huge dimensions, the Triumph Rocket 3 R surprises with good-natured and easy handling. The highlight of this machine is clearly the incredible 2.5-litre three-cylinder engine. Thrust in every situation and a lot of emotion are the order of the day. Fortunately, the chassis and brakes have not been skimped on either, which is why the Rocket 3 R is a fascinating package for torque lovers.

Extremely powerful engine
