i think relocating the pegs farther back is a great idea.

Great video, and I think the Roadster will be a great seller for Triumph - that is one mean looking bike!

Somebody once said to me “Don’t ride a R3 unless you can afford to buy one as no other bike will compare” They were right.
That video, short and succinct as it was, has sold me a R3 now all I have to work out is how am I going to afford one.

Are they using the Rocket III frame or the Rocket III Touring frame?
Is all the extra nice handling coming from the new rider position and handlebar setup? Will it have the same rear tire as the Rocket III?
I can't wait to get my Progressive 440 rear shocks. I ordered the 12.5" for length. Should give me a nice smooth ride like the video touts for the new Roadster.

I just want to say I like it! When are the dealers getting them?

i love the fact that they show wheelies in the commercial.

I'm wondering which chassis this bike has. I'm hoping it's got the new touring chassis, which by all accounts improves handling a lot.

I went and educated my local Triumph dealer today: they had NO idea what I was talking about!

Wow!
That bike looks like it's been transformed in the video. I think of the Rocket III as a big, heavy, ponderous cruiser. I was never sure why someone would buy one. But now, I understand. Hope it handles...

Another Triumph for Triumph...!
