TRIUMPH ROCKET III - 21ST CENTURY MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURE

[salemcripple]

sweet bike, and awesome ad. but i just watched a "how do they do it" episode on these. they claim its the world's largest,most powerfull production motorcycle. Obviously they've never heard of Boss Hoss. it makes this bike look tiny in comparison. They're all powered by big block v8's, with their bigest model producing 445 horsepower out of a 376 cubic inch.

[kakagaatje]

Awesome commercial!! And i didn't know such a heavy looking bike could turn so good and drive so sporty!! Better start saving!

[Pulsewave0]

Anyone ever watch "Look Around You"? If you like the humour in this, look it up. I suspect it was the inspiration for this one!

[CountryHouseGent]

There's only one way to tell this vid is a fake. The resident Gurning Fool isn't technically gurning. And I must add that I thought Triumph had been going longer.

[vishwav20]

Yes...!!!! that bike was planned to be built the next second my heart started to beat in my mother's womb..

[philsheath]

Excellent, I also thought it was genuine for about a minute.

[Chalis26]

I have an '07 Classic. I love this vid :D

[runescapeia]

Rofl, i was like "Wait.. 900 years?" haha then it hit me.

[howardgreenwood]

Ha Ha Ha !!!!!!!! puberty of a bike...

[barrettwbenton]

Now, I ask you: would Harley have the stones to poke a little good-natured fun at themselves like this? Methinks not. I'd buy a Triumph practically on that basis alone.

[S00rabh]

Did he say 900 Years @ 0:08.. ????

[GREEVES246]

someones having a tin bath

[lordchickenhawk]

Wow! This was even funnier than "Triumph of the Will"

[mathman54]

Pay attention to how the Center of Gravity is made. We each have one and, in this economy, we may need to be able to make our own in case the supply is interrupted.

[nelsondavification]

calculo que seria mi proxima moto. Triumph 2300cc

[Mattieman1337]

LMAO safety procedure for getting home in case your front wheel falls off... God I love British humour!

[wafi0123]

accept bosshoss v8 and dodge one it's the king

[BonnevilleSkull]

Fucking brilliant gets better ever time I see this.

[BonnevilleSkull]

Well done triumph this is funny as ....

[Jordanremix21]

1:53 to 1:58 I would've SHAT myself  O.O

[BlueBellyfluff]

god...it took me about one minute to realize something was not quite right

[meoget]

This is awesome!!!!!!!!!

[jbogalho]

love it :)

[metalb000]

where did this video come from?? its funny as shit!

[drjamyma]

i'm high and i thought this was real until about 1 minute. shit.

[rrrtripler]

@drjamyma LMAO

[manson32091]

Most of you people are idiots, Especially the person who said it was all american. It's British dumb ass. Great video though. Couldn't stop laughing.

[CoolMartensite]

Would've given a thumbs down if it was for 1:44 onwards......

[monsterabyss1992]

i saw one of these today

[jatt87gill]

complete bs!!

[vegetto2024]

those safety tests are fun, specialy the one in the case your front wheel falls off

[HOTOjake]

kool\



[tedmagnum]

lol, very good !

[samihasib]

900 yrs ?? huh ?

[TheArtistKnownAsJake]

Jesus, did I laugh hard. 

[gpzDave]

200kg of power!!! LOLOLOL

[ukchris64]

Fantastic spoof, lol

[kasagar]

One HELL of a bike... yes, I have one....

[mrdiscus66]

@kasagar Nah that was the prototype. Rumour has it the full production version will have four wheels and be called the TR9.

[barrettwbenton]

@mrdiscus66

Good one!

[tiff5355]

lol nice 1 lol

[beatsdddx]

900 years that's funny!!!!

[Greddybear]

how is that possible 900 year of motor cycle prowess

[barrettwbenton]

@Greddybear

To quote the estimable Mr. Foghorn Leghorn: "That's a *joke*, son." Like the entire video is.

[kary1982v6]

That is hilarious, I would have loved watching the filming of this vid

[speedybb]

THE best video on you tube. If only all manufacturers had a sense of humour.

[incognitowun]

"..argument juice from the argument lobe of the female brain..same technology is used in modern fighter planes.". "..engines this powerful simply cannot be built.." I live in the USA and I thought it was pretty hilarious! Fuck it..I want one!! And it will make the biggest baddest HD look like a geriatric!!

[bnCOD]

Ha.

[Metallica0493]

That dude has some balls to risk getting them crushed like that

[Shriekshack]

Never really understood Harleys and their obsession with big V Twins. No practicality or personality whatsoever. But a Royal Enfield Bullet, it speaks to you as a dynamic person. That's a real bike.

[edoyle7]

@Shriekshack You must not have ever been on one, powerful, dependable and all American.

[441rider]

The Hesketh made more sense than this monster, 1/3rd the price in Canada now that they were new only a couple of years later. It is a real joke, LOL! They should have remade the Tina scooter it would have sold better.

[TheSaintST1]

Wtf???!!!! Hahahahahahah!!! Brilliant!

[Moosepiesandwich]

Caught me by surprise, hilarious vid!

[CZroe]

I love the "real world situation" involving a person dropping their badger! I dropped mine in the street last week but, luckily, no one was coming.

[b9y]

what's this from?

[verracus]

Is there an spanish translation available? I can't understand some of the phrases.

[nullunit]

It watches Blackadder, no wonder its so damned sexy.

[saveusmilkboy]

@nullunit well said, sir.

[aussersein]

fake.

[texasengr]

I always wondered how those were made. Thanks for FINALLY being completely honest and accurate!

[Motoguzzi750]

One of the best videos featuring bikes I have ever seen. Brit humour at its finest!!

[Mushcado]

This has still got to be the best viral marketing video out there - haven't seen anything close to it yet.

[barbarybar]

Can we see the out takes? Pleeeease!

[stagfaster]

'Over 900 years of motorbike building' (lol) Excellent !!

[LiPgLoSsGaLz]

i realized it was a joke at 00:50

[zedzdead2007]

my badger will sleep safe knowing its not going to be run over by a rocket III - thank you triumph.

My last badget was killed by a harley :(

[heelmooiweervandaagL]

I didn't realize this was a joke until they were trying to feed the motor XD EPIC

[mego69]

HD or Triumph?

[NomenLog]

@mego69 both!

[Allieisatastyflavor]

@mego69 well lets see, one is unreliable, noisy, and boring. the other is powerful, fast and fucking incredible. gonna have to go with triumph

[kriegundfrieden]

@Allieisatastyflavor 300,000 with out taking a part the engine. pretty reliable. and allie tastes like ass cheese. :]

[Allieisatastyflavor]

@kriegundfrieden generally speaking of course

[kriegundfrieden]

@Allieisatastyflavor generally wrong.

[Allieisatastyflavor]

@kriegundfrieden thats like saying tatras aarent the best offroaders

[kriegundfrieden]

@Allieisatastyflavor not its not.

[Allieisatastyflavor]

@kriegundfrieden yeah it is, its disputing common knowledge

[kriegundfrieden]

@Allieisatastyflavor not at all because saying something is boring, unreliable, and noisy is for the most part opinions. i guess they are noisy. but that being a bad thing is also an opinion.

[Allieisatastyflavor]

@kriegundfrieden now as much as your gonna argue this. cycle world generally has nothing good to say about harleys other than that they look cool. every article on a harley will include phrases like "low build quality. excessive vibration, poor handling, and low power" the only harley they actually like is the xr1200 and even with that they complained about the build quality and lack of power.and my boss, a mechanic of 10 years and former HD dealership employee has nothing good to say about them

[kriegundfrieden]

@Allieisatastyflavor that was too long for me to bother to read it. idc what you read from some stupid article or whatever.it doesnt matter to me

[Allieisatastyflavor]

@kriegundfrieden then dont argue

[p0kerp1aya]

I would hate to have been the short straw to lay spread eagle on the tarmac for this video!

[korodore]

Argument juice!

[izzapoppin]

not all brit humor is good...but this is. :)

it is on a par with the best monty python skits.

thanks for posting.

[aaronc608]

OSMOSIS LOLLL

[Robertson668]

RFLMAO!

[subiemon]

heheeheh i love this!!

[rossaust]

Sadly, mine is off the road. Shunted up the a*** by a mad Victorian driver whose mind as somewhere else. Obviously the "Julian Clary" levels installed at manufacture were insufficient. It might have enjoyed it then. I would be happier if mine had watched a bit more Billy Connelly, and a lot less Rowan Atkinson.

[Sweelydl]

hmmany guys want to chat i feel sooo lonely

[pencilPASTIESpanda]

i enjoy that english dry wit

[trqmj]

Is this bike reliable? I am interested in it but I am not sure how good it is. I am a tall guy "6.3" and the rocket roadster is the only cruiser that fits me very well.

[mcgehee1980]

@trqmj I have owned a 675 for 4 years now and love it. I have never had any problems out of it, Triumph makes a very solid bike. I saw the rocket 3 and am now wanting to trade it in.

[PMcG6]

LOL Brilliant! I love English humor. That bike is gorgeous!

[whys101]

Do Brits enjoy their humor as much as we Yanks? Great stuff (the bike and this video)

[DoubleDutchBust]

1:11

[drrjim]

Brit humor, love it !!!

[LHSR71ABB]

i am the 1000 rating it, with to mchu pleasure!

very bice bike!

congratulation

essamoto eh foda p´caralhooo

q d+ o video

selva BRASIL!

[stopthemadness99]

Boy can u imagine if that brake locked out and slid when that guy was spread eagled?

[NathanP2OO9]

ha ha I fort this was real for a minute!!

[cooperphil156]

Love it.

[appledecca]

ha ha ha ha ha.!

[xzistpo]

WHAT ?

they are wheelying that thing ?

[mastertracuer]

a wheely on the heaviest cruiser in the world, gotta love it ay?

[Illpallazzo]

I just want to know, who was insane enough to be the one laying spread eagle waiting for the bike to stop? o_O

[barbarybar]

@Illpallazzo Billy the badger mate

[EdOscuro]

Haha, the center (excuse me, centre) of gravity. Love the pressurization step too.

[KarlToth]

I didnt realise it was a piss take untill they went on about growing engins ? haha very funny XD

[t1201971]

I'm sure most cruiser riders won't even get this since they take their bikes to the dealer for oil changes...

[rugbymeanmachine]

Ah wait its a piss take what a waste o fucking time lol

[rugbymeanmachine]

900 years of building? Was that a goof?

[Nirethel]

are you stupid rugby? of course not. letting the bike watch tv is proven by science to increase it's fun levels exponentially.

[slave2school]

It said between them there is 900 years of building experience. Like when your parents say they have 150 years of parenting experience between the two of them. ;)

[purklefluff]

i'm pretty sure i'll be buying one of these, the moment i have enough disposable income. like... the exact moment.

"you're hired!..... wait.. what are you doing?"

"ringing up the triumph dealer"

score.

[GoldwingDaz]

scream, a funny way to show the great machine, nice one :)

[DemonPhyre]

Wonderful and informative video!

[bassistmatt]

Brits are back! Triumph have raised the bar, nothing comes close to this monster! It's in a class of it's own. We can still make legends and with a sense of humour! The old ones still cut it, and with bags of character, they never leaked oil, they marked their spot! Now how to up the ante further? Triumph rebuilding the Vincent Black Shadow, 3000cc W8 is an idea!

[th3matchless]

Nothing comes near this monster??? huh??

[jontti66]

Absolutely nothing crap about Triumph..

solid engineering,built to last..

Can´t say that about many of todays rice-burners,spagetti bowls or milwakees beer-buckets..

[bigdicksplace]

I love it. Triumph just sold another scooter!

[GamerDudeLewis101]

scooter?

what?

[seanarrative]

ROFL

how I love the british.

[bigmarkyt]

Genius

[Yamieguy64]

Hitchhiker's guide to the Triumph-Works?

[Langnasen]

Genius. Crap bikes though.

[loneboarder7]

Nothing crap about a Triumphs, sure the old ones could be a bit leaky, but that's called character, something you don't find in a lot of Jap and US bikes.

The 1938 Speed Twin was the inspiration for all other manufactures of the era, ahead of it's time if you will. The modern Daytona 675 will piss on any equivalent Jap bike and the Rocket III is a Harley beater, I guess that's not hard though, they're overweight and under powered characterless machines riden by fat old blokes.

[purklefluff]

as much as i love the old triumphs (i own one!), i'm not sure the whole "character" thing rings true... if i'm honest, the less leaky a bike is, the better. i like my bikes to work properly. calling what is essentially a fault "character" seems a bit odd to me.

(btw, mine is a Tiger Cub, 1963... what's yours?)

[loneboarder7]

1969 Bonneville

1972 T100

2008 Thruxton

Maybe a bit optimistic calling it character but leaks or no leak I love those machines.

[purklefluff]

nice collection you got there. The tiger cub is, by comparison, a bit of a toy!

hopefully, at some point in the next year, i'll be getting either a sprint ST or an RS. nice bikes. gotta love the triumph triple.

how does the new thruxton feel? nice and fast? or mildly fast but with great handling?

[loneboarder7]

Yup, A Street Triple R is next on that list, bit of fun.

Thruxton is great fun, in fact, the most fun to ride out of the three. Sounds great with predator exhausts. Got the last of the clip-on handle bar models so it's got that lower, cafe racer like feel to it, although not so great on longer rides with my height.

[eltiburon2005]

just plain brilliant.... Triumph is ftmtw

[Critterproductions]

briliiant

[BrantFortunate]

haha grown from embryo engines

[potatoewarrior]

lol

[Shrapnel1337]

lol good vid

[monsieurhassan]

hahahhaa . .. funny vid . .. makes me want to get that motorcycle though

[bigbore660]

1:14 - 1:23 LOL

[cgavin1]

Is this narrated by Michael Gambon? Sounds like him ..

[1981rocketman1981]

First 5000m on my bike loved every second of it! since then had so so many problems with it I just wanna cry! And the Triumph guys dont have a clue wats wrong with her!...

[wobblestriumph]

hi which Triumph guys dont know whats wrong..ie dealers or factory?

[1981rocketman1981]

Both! They have been back and fourth with each other for close to 2 months now! It all started with my bike jumping out of 2nd to neutral some times, then it became all the time! Took bike in to dealers. Apparently its a common fault! So triumph sent a kit to fix it amongst other stuff to change! Guess to cover other possible recalls! Now shift from 1st to 2nd is not a smooth one at all! Was told thats the way it has to be now! I say no way! And both Triumph and dealers can not figure out why...

[1981rocketman1981]

...my oil pressure light is coming on under 2000rpm since they put the engin back in! Thank god its all under warrenty just! Been on the phone with both triumph and dealer hoping for some good news! Non yet! At least now after some sturn talks with the dealer they gave me one of there demo rocket 3s to ride till mine is fixed!..

[firestormft5313]

clearly by what is passed on in the video the technician monitoring the "fun through ozmosis" levels was sleeping at the switch! either that or they were playing Benny Hill instead of Monty Python... you should definitly have them expose the bike to more of the Pythons... if that doesnt work then I suggest more radical measures to include Red Dwarf and anything by Simon Pegg... that ought to get her shifting between 1st and 2nd like new!

[brynth123]

hahaha

[UKSossige]

I've got an 09 Speed Triple 1050. Fantastic bike and I'm very pleased to see Triumph as a British success story.

[PhineusPhreak]

lol i want one even more now! :-D

[runningchance]

I love my rocket, but it just always has some cheesey little part needing replacement. The engine is great and the from is cool but the rest of it could have been better designed.

[upforlastnameleft]

LOL - that was brilliant - best thing I've seen all day...

[Zammo397]

It's all true. That's why japanese bikes have slanty headlights...!

[V8BOSS1989]

rofl that was fucking awesome lol

[GenGaia]

Is that wheelie real? How can U do that on a cruiser? Awesome...

[TheRagingBeaverCo]

2300 cc...that's how.

:)

[shambooly]

Fantastic vid. Wish this was how the bike was really made, I'd buy one.

[misterpinkwhistle]

I must admit at first I thought this was real, right up until, the engines are grown from embryo engines. Lol

[catSandwich3]

Fake!

[Bigboomer]

Congratulations, you figured it out! Did you have someone help you, or did you get it on your own ?

[catSandwich3]

Cyberbully! :'(

[Bigboomer]

Your lunch money too !

[greenlantern909]

Top vid for a beautiful bike.

[IPO2107]

Puta que pariu que moto da porra!!!

[fre2fly]

that would be a great ad on tv

[extro139]

I just hope the first aftermarket item you add to the Rocket is a bit more butch horn. (laugh) The stock horn sounds much too polite!

[yorrickhunt06]

testing is accompanied by banjo music for safety reasons...

LOOOL

[denforent]

I own the biggest baddest production bike on the planet - and weekend past I took her thru the advanced motorcycle safety course and she flawlessly performed every single test that much smaller bikes were messing up on! What a machine!!! AWESOME.

[gixxerfan33]

This whole video is awesome. 1:57.

The Rocket III is beastly man. It's huge but I was impressed with its wheelie ability.

[cgavin1]

Musn't spill the tea! #1 priority imho.

BTW its amazing to think that even after a hundred thousand years of non stop bike production at their martian fabrication facilities, HD still haven't managed to figure out a big bike needs ground clearence: kudos Triumph!

[mikeey01nzl]

Very good n funny :)

[neshkod]

very english humour /thumbs up

[ICeLorD2700]

roflmao @ injected steroids on small engines and stored on rooms to grow up.

[andreraduan]

Yep, the 900 years is not correct, but all the rest is...

[kirbienstien]

900 years? no...

[ozyran]

Very good video.

[pjdaprinz]

1:37 - ... bike is painted... xD

[grofuss]

lmao

[danilatham]

I believe your comment should read as follows. I will tell you what I learnt in school you fucking retard. I learnt to use capital letters when beginning a sentence. If you thought I was being serious and failed to pick up on my humour then you are the "fukin idiot!.
