Whats the differences of the special edition? is it just the paint color and solo seat? The price is the same.

The only "special edition" on record , Rocketspyder, WAS the mainland UK- only 2005 dressed-up standard Rocket, i.e. with factory-installed windshield, sissy bar and luggage rack, leather bags, tribal red or black finish plus boards in lieu of pegs.

As far as I know (your post reads a bit cryptic, doesn't it?), TODAY, i.e. one model year later, "special edition" refers only to two optional paint jobs, a special (not "standard" Cardinal Red) burgundy red and a unique blue hue, available at an extra cost for the "standard" (vs "Classic") Rocket.

Seat or seats unchanged ex-factory.

Now , dealers around the world (German Triumph dealers being prominent in the specialty game) might occasionally issue " local, limited editions", with various degrees of added value to the ex-factory configuration or appearance.

Hope this, somehow, helps

All the pictures I've seen show the monochromic blue and red special editions having only the solo seat. The Triumph web site list them at the same price as the standard Rocket. I was just wondering if these were the only difference. I personaly dont like the solo seat but it doesn't make that much difference because I plan on changing the seat anyway.

I still think it comes with a passenger seat. Other than the paint, black engine and black chrome cam cover I think that is it.
