I owned a 2008 Triumph Rocket III Touring. There is no comparison with these two bikes other than large engines. The Rocket is a great straight line highway bike. That's it. Seating was horrible. I finally had Sargent make me a custom seat. The weight was poorly distributed and the brakes where not sufficient for the size of the bike. I kept it for three years and bought a BMW R1200RT. As soon as I saw the F6B the BMW was history. I'm not sorry.
