Triumph rocket 3
Looks super and easy to handle according to looks the rocket 3 was been booked and u can easy ride this bikes in traffic but the mist is the bike is some more weight compared to normal bikes and this can handle with single hand for good performance Most comfortable and you can easily cruise the bike and easy to handle on Highways and the comfort for long rides is superb even you can cruise in 120 without any fear and it's the best bike too as per the looks and performance Yes, I would recommend this bike for younger youth because some kind of heat would generate when you are riding in traffic but rest of the thing is superb and the pops( blast sound ) is top notch i recommend to buy this without any fear

Bike is stylish and good Beast
Bike is stylish and good looking and overall good experience with this bike but price is little bit higher on this segment. Another thing is low mileage and little bit weight is some discomfort factors for new riders. I rides 5 months to this bike in all types of roads like mountain,off-road,Highway I am satisfied.

beauty with power
because of it looks and power, i once took it to mountains and it was riding smoothly at uphill, so i want to tell who are looking for a powerful bike to travel to hilly area like Leh, shimla or Kullu then go for it without thinking much positive and smooth, every one compliments me becuase of it looks specially the dark blue colour and even every one of my friend ask me to took them for a ride and they also compliment about its sound and power. yes if you want free compliments yes if you want power with asthetic looks it will catch everyones eyes when you ride it in trafiic then everyone will look at you and its power is amazing wow and its belt driven system made it more smoother

Experience
Amazing experience ofc its heavy and not for every type of road in Indian conditions. But it's an experience of its own to drive as the engine is so powerful and it's sounds loud and clear. It's design is cool as well but the best thing is the brand itself as they ensure safety and luxury at the same time. . .
