I was in the Triumph Forum and couldn’t find any current topic about Rocket III. I now own mine since January 2008. She now has new mufflers and a power and torque increase from 140 to 157 hp and from 240 to 350 Newton meters. I also drive a 08 Yamaha R6 in the special edition Hester and I can say that the triumph is more extreme. I was told with good driving mode it now accelerates in 2.5s from 0-100 km/h. According to Triumph it runs 216 however I have it after the L In addition, she now wears a gecko on the tank. It is somewhat similar to Wiesmann’s trademark. It took me a really long time to get used to it. I myself have almost 18 years of motorcycle experience and have never driven such a brutal machine. You can only advise young and inexperienced drivers against it. Just because of the very high weight. Would be happy to hear about your experiences. Greeting Patrick

Hello, I call a Thunderbird 1600 my own and now look for inexpensive additional headlights for it. Has someone already bought these in the accessories and can give me a tip on this. I would not reject used ones in good condition. Of course also an attachment instruction would be of advantage. Thanks in advance max

Moin together, I play with the idea to buy me a 95′ Thunderbird RT. The part has about 35,000 km away and looks so still quite good. Lack of experience with this model is my consideration, whether this older English lady is more suitable to screw or also to drive. Will say, what is it about the quality ordered? With my 2009’er Speedmaster and 2010’er Thunderbird I was absolutely satisfied, but how is it with the older Englishmen? I realize that always something is broken But how is the reputation of triumphal motorcycles of the 1990s so general? Thank you for your help! Greetings Barchettist

Hello! So, after I had no luck with the Austrian dealers and here in the forum about meiener Question/ Please ( http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…iple-in-for-oesterreich-t1732163.html )niemand reports, would interest me which bike you would buy/drive instead of a Triumph Street Triple (After I don’t want to give up a whole year on my hobby motorcycle riding)? Well known are the choices: Naked bikes of the 600 class like Honda Hornet 600, Suzuki GSR -600, Yamaha FZ6-S2, Kawasaki Z750 and maybe even the new KTM Duke 690 – maybe someone even has a completely different idea or motorcycle brand. I would like to have your impressions or motivations why you would choose a different bike – to bridge a year. THX

Hello Moto-Talker! First of all a “hello!” in the Triumph Forum. I’m new here and I’m just waiting for a little problem where I need support. I bought a Speedi 1050 (515NJ) BJ 2007 three months ago. I’m very happy with the bike with the exception of the cockpit. It started with the hot weeks. It formed massive condensation water in the cockpit, which led up to an error message in the control unit (was read out by dealers and cockpit as a cause of error i The last few weeks with the many rains have now provided for more water in the cockpit. Soon I can use a goldfish, which now leads to the fact that I can no longer operate keys on the cockpit, and all 30 sec. instead of my speed a flashing “1” can be seen. My tank warning lamp no longer works, which is quite stupid… Reading the Digi display by condensation hardly possible anymore. Does anyone know here ABhilfe? What does a swap cockpit (gebra) cost? The new one would come for about 1,200 euros, a participation by Triumph is rather unlikely despite a known lack. The Speedi is equipped with alarm system and has about 12,500 km. DANke for your tips and advice! Cheers, Alex

Hello dear forum members, I have the option ne tt 600 quite cheap to buy with only 6000 km. Only I have no direct insider information about this model and wanted to ask if I can give me tt 600 expert a few tips. e.g. which small stacks this model has, what you have to pay attention to. what it looks like with spare parts procurement etc. or which parts are reperaturous or need to be replaced more often many thanks already in advance.
