    Nice one! All you MCN reviewers are great. I don't have a lot of desire for this beast, but I appreciate that it's around. I demoed it last year - lots of fun.

    I have had the TFC variant for 4 years now, love it! Quick shifter is sublime, well worth the investment. Average 46mpg over 20,000 miles. I don't hang about but not heavy on the brakes, so fairly efficient. Sport mode is insane! These new Storm models look great.
    Masterpiece in motorcycling engineering.

    What an amazing review mate.
    Totally agree with you, that it looks really intimidating but as soon as u start riding it becomes so easy.
    I was lucky enough to buy the 1st storm in India and it was just an amazing experience.
    Would love to see a comparison video of with and without a quick shifter.
    Thanks have a great day.

    I love the bike for its size that gives it a real presence no car driver can ignore . Shaft drive brilliant,fwd controls a terrible idea. I like the R with the high screen and I’ve never had a bike with a quick shifter so I wouldn’t miss it.

    Triumph had demo of their new lineup yesterday in my area. They had advertised ahead for weeks that the Rocket3 would be one of the bikes to try. I go there, just to be told that they had sold it off and did not have any other to demo. They even tried to sell me a Speed Triple I wasn`t even allowed to demo.

    @GaryJohnWalker1 Před 16 dny +3

    Ludicrous. But probably my fave cruiser - and the ridiculous engine size makes it all the better. And that GT should imo be stretched into a better genuine tourer - separate it more from the R with a bigger tank, real luggage (and pillion) options and it would surely be a much better long distance bikes than any of those R18 tour variants.

    I have a 2023 Rocket-R model, and the crowd that this Bike Attracts during Bike Nights it makes Every Harley-Davidson in the crowd disappear. I love to park it, and have people look at it. And I did have to buy the Quick-Shifter, and the heated grips on my R model

    As for faults, I'd say the lack of a reverse gear is one. Just my opinion, of course.

    Obviously not much has changed since my Moto Guzzi Griso 1100 from 2006: Lots of displacement in a low number of cylinders and shaft-drive do not combine to be a quick shifting ride. With experience you can still shift without clutch but I would not recommend this as the standard-gearchange ...
