The bike I regret selling. I’m looking for an all black roadster low mileage. There’s one clown selling one now and he wants a premium because the mileage is 333.
Triumph Rocket 111
- Thread starter Nick Marshall
- Start date
There are a few of the roadster versions out there for sale.
I like the black one with the red stripe.
Came so close to buying it early part of the week. But strangely, I went for Honda Cross dresser instead.

What went wrong with the old engine?
gerbox problems,between 4th 5th around 120,didnt want to go in,not all the time but caught me out a few times.
went in to the shop a few times they told me its my riding
in the end the engine started making funny nioses so enough was enough.
they were going to rebiuld the motor,but i didnt want to know.
so hay ho if anyone wants it with no miles on the engine/box with all triumphs best wishes let me know.
ps,my explorer went bang after 5500 miles.
time to change brands i think.

Me !! Would like a snortier exhaust on her though
I had the exact same bike, same colour, same sissy bar etc. I found the standard bars made my wrists ache after a while and changed them for a set of T bars. Re; the exhausts, I initially went for the Dave Platt cat delete. Nice fruity sound but I still fancied something a bit louder and wound up with the Dave Platt "Shotgun" pipes...... F*ck me they were loud!!
I did a 300 mile trip and my ears were bleeding....sold them on eBay and went back to the cat delete box.....the neighbours were happier too.
The great thing about the black motors is that the colour makes it more difficult to see the oil leaking from the seals between the oil tank and the left hand side crankcase

I had mine for about 8-10k miles, never spilled a drop of oil. You speak as you find I guess.

Mine too, just checked !
Probably get told now that Rocket III's have a 3rd gear problem; final drive splines made out of cheese and tyres don't contain rubber !!

Not loud, believe it or not. Big roar on start-up but at 2,000 rpm is quite a mature sound. Recommended.

Of course
You two are the only people I know who advertise bikes FOR SALE then start accessorizing them
