2004 Triumph Rocket III review from United Kingdom

"Surprisingly easy to ride and live with!"

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the bike so far, although I have done less than 1000 miles on it.

General comments?

The Rocket 3 is blisteringly quick for a bike its size.

It handles extremely well considering the weight, although given the cruiser styling, it cannot be leaned far into corners as with a sports bike.

The brakes (from the 955i) are fantastic, easy progressive stopping power from any speed.

Clutch is featherlite, and can be operated with one finger.
