I'm seriously looking at getting a Triumph Rocket 3 as a stablemate for my Yamaha FZ6 (after selling my ST1300). I'm curious what ya'll think off it, those of you who have ridden and/or own one. I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam.
Rocket 3 Forums and Websites?
In addition to wanting to hear your overall general opinion, I am also specifically interested in the following:
How is it out on the highway, doing 80mph or so? Wind buffeting? Windscreens? Have a 75 mile roundtrip commute to work, mostly at highway speeds. Good bike for that?
MPG? Range before needing fuel? 87 octane?
How's the stock seat? The factory gel and touring seats? Aftermarket?
Luggage? The Corbin Beetle bags look good, but expensive. Any other hard bag (and lockable) options?
How well do Triumph's heated grips work?
Cost of ownership? Is it really only every 10k miles for service? Cost? How often for valve adjustments/checks? How often do you need new tires, and cost?
