2010 Triumph Rocket "Roadster"

Factory pics released NOW on:

Motorcycle News UK | Motorbikes | MCN

Do I regret parting with my Oct. '04 Rocket and buying a 2009 V-Max, instead of waiting for this 2010 edition?

Not really

Thats an interesting looking rocket wouldn't mind taking one for a test ride, but the V-Max is in a class of it's own.

To me, this seems like a good move for Triumph. There's nothing wrong with the existing lineup, but some owners have been working their R3 into something closer to a Roadster than what they previously were.

I wonder if we'll see an angular R3 Roadster in the future; to give the Speed Triple folks a mega-torque alternative.

I like it alot. It'll be interesting to see some 1/4 mile times. Jamie, have you seen pics of Ducati's answer to the V-Max? Pretty sharp, although it may only be a proto type at this point.
