Sold - 2005 Triumph Rocket III from 6900 to $5500

05RSMVTEXAN · 06-24-2012, 11:41 PM

Price dropped from 6900 to 6750 to 6500 to 6250 to 5900 to 5750 to 5500. This bike is in beautiful shape. I have added the Triumph windshield, Triumph fuel indicator, Triumph chrome brakeline holders & Triumph chrome manifold covers. Just had new brakes on front and back. New battery. Metzlers on front and back in great shape. Bike has all manuals and paperwork. I also purchased the Triumph shop manual for it which will go with the bike. Very nice Joe Rocket tank bag. And the cover made for the Rocket III. Mileage currently 30603. Motorcycle screams fun. VERY, VERY, fast.

Pictures attached for 05RSMVTEXAN. Drool. That lip on the back of the seat is 100% necessary for keeping you on the bike.

I have a Triumph Rocket III and I can attest that this is by far the single most fun motorcycle I have ever ridden.

Torque and power off the chart and one ride on a machine like this and you will wonder where its been all your life.

Good luck with the sale

Thanks for loading the pics for me. And he is correct about the seat. This bike will pull the handlebars out of your hands! A true monster, but a thrill to ride. Effortless power! Hey and I may consider a certain guitar(s) as partial payment for the bike if anyone has a guitar lying around they don't need.

I have a 1697 Stradivarius in the attic, would that work?

05RSMVTEXAN · 06-26-2012, 09:39 PM

Boy, Mr Haney off Green Acres would love to deal for that. I saw an episode on Pawn Stars where they were talking about that kind of violin. Said it was worth millions.

barnyfife · 06-28-2012, 04:23 PM

Trade for a Valkyrie tour?

05RSMVTEXAN · 06-28-2012, 06:47 PM

Wow I would love a Valk! But my reasons for selling my bikes is due to medical issues (vertigo with syncope). I really appreciate your offer. My price is negotiable. It is painful to see the bikes go. It has taken me months to finally build up the courage to let them go. I never expected getting older.

snuffcityrider · 06-28-2012, 08:19 PM

I used to own an 06. Sold it with 40,000 trouble free miles four years later and have missed it ever since. A Gold Wing took it's place, much more comfy but not nearly as fun.

05RSMVTEXAN · 07-01-2012, 12:38 PM

Price now down to 6500

05RSMVTEXAN · 07-09-2012, 08:05 PM

Price is now 6250.00!

barnyfife · 07-11-2012, 02:48 PM

by chance,do you have saddlebags for the rocket?

05RSMVTEXAN · 07-11-2012, 04:22 PM

I do not. If I was going to keep the bike, I was looking at buying the bags from Corbin. I do have a very nice tank bag with the cover made for the Rocket if that helps.

05RSMVTEXAN · 07-12-2012, 10:53 AM

Price dropped to $5900.00 and that's it!

**tricepilot** · 07-12-2012, 11:20 AM

That is a crazy good price for this moto

I love my Rocket III!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

05RSMVTEXAN · 07-12-2012, 12:50 PM

I hate selling it. It's a wonderful bike and in wonderful shape. I'm getting older and dealing with some health issues.

05RSMVTEXAN · 07-21-2012, 02:16 PM

Folks this is the last bike I have. (Getting out of riding right now.) I honestly can't believe it hasn't sold. It's down to $5750. Someone give this big baby a good home please.

gixxerjasen · 07-21-2012, 04:44 PM

And of course, when I find the money for a bike like this, there will be none at this price. Come on folks, take this bike home! All at the same time it will surprise you, make you crap your pants and put a grin on your face you won't be able to wipe off for a week!

Thanks for the good words. Not really sure why it hasn't sold. It is a rare bike and probably intimidating to some. But a pure joy to ride. Power that is just insane, yet very comfortable. A wonderful trouble free bike and easy to do normal maintenance on.
