Is the Rocket III about to make a return ?

[Joe narvey]

I've just spoken to my local dealer who confirmed the bike will be built but that it will be a 2020 bike not a 2019 as printed in MCN and they're not taking deposits at present

Thanks. Any idea if it will be 2.5L or 2.6L and if they’ve thrown EU rating in the rubbish ?

2500cc according to the man

It'll have to be Euro 4 compliant or they won't be able to sell it around the world

The lack of Euro 4 was what killed the Rocket III off a couple of years back

Should just make them for the UK and not bother with the EURO rating !

Can’t wait to try one

Nice idea, but sadly Triumph are reliant on the export market with the R3, particulary the US.
There are less that 2500 OTR in the UK currently ...... https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=✓&q=triumph+rocket

Will have to be Euro 4 for the UK market too, there will be no change even if we leave the EU.

Really? Why is that ?

The more I look at this the more I'm thinking my dealer has got the 2020 delivery date wrong

This bike looks far too close to a production bike. I remember when the first Rocket III broke cover in to customers hands it was June 2004 having not been launched at the previous years shows

2019 is the 15th anniversary of the original Rocket III. I reckon these could be in the dealers this summer

Here's hoping

All the dealers have a meeting with Triumph on the 12thh February

According to the man in Jack Lilley (Shepperton) the new Rocket III will be with them late summer 2019

I wonder if it will fit in the lift at my apartment

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

It may well fit but the bigger question is:

Will the lift still go up with a Rocket III in it ?

 

[Joe narvey]

I’m overseeing new lifts being fitted in my building so will have to get them updated

Advice please, keep the existing one and buy the new one after reinforcing the floor or Part ex the existing one?
