Triumph Rocket 3 Gt

The Triumph Rocket 3 Gt has a top speed of 200 km/h (est. — electronically limited; note: manufacturer does not publish official top speed), produces 167 hp and weighs 317 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

La Triumph Rocket 3 GT fait partie de la gamme Rocket 3 de deuxième génération, lancée en 2020, construite autour du plus grand moteur de moto de production au monde, un triple cylindre en ligne de 2 458 cm3. Il a remplacé le Rocket III d'origine (2004-2019) par une nouvelle conception plus légère mais plus puissante, offrant une ergonomie axée sur le tourisme avec un pare-brise plus haut et une position assise plus droite par rapport à la variante R. Il s'agit de l'un des produits phares de la gamme de croiseurs Triumph, célèbre pour son couple monstrueux et le prestige de l'ingénierie britannique.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🏆

World's Largest Engine

The Rocket 3 GT's 2,500cc triple-cylinder engine is the largest production motorcycle engine ever made, producing 221 lb-ft of torque — more than many sports cars. This makes it a genuinely unique ownership proposition with serious collector appeal.

🔧

Watch the Throttle Bodies

Some owners report occasional throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idle or hesitation, particularly on higher-mileage examples. A dealer sync service resolves this easily, but it's worth checking during a pre-purchase inspection.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Rocket 3 GT holds its value exceptionally well compared to most cruisers, largely due to its limited competition and cult status among big-bike enthusiasts. Low-mileage used examples often sell close to new MSRP.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.5/10
Idéal pour
Experienced tourers who want genuine British character

"The most engaging, characterful big cruiser money can currently buy used."

$14,000-$20,000 used

The Rocket 3 GT is genuinely one of those bikes that makes you grin every single time you thumb the starter. That 2,500cc triple is absurd in the best possible way — 221Nm of torque means you're never, ever searching for power. Used examples from 2020 onwards are well-sorted, but check the bungee hooks and rear rack area for stress cracks if the previous owner loaded it heavily. The electronics package is excellent and ages well, though make sure the traction control modes haven't been fiddled with using third-party tuners. Ownership costs are where reality bites. Servicing isn't cheap — budget around $400-600 per major service at a dealer. Tires are specialized and expensive, typically $400-500 fitted for a set. The weight (317kg wet) demands respect in parking lots and slow traffic. Fuel economy hovers around 35-40mpg, which adds up on longer trips. That said, build quality is genuinely excellent and these bikes hold value stubbornly well on the used market.
