Motorcycle specifications Triumph2300 ROCKET III Touring 2008 The Bristish road queen

triumph's vigorous 2.3L 3-cylinder has found a new territory to conquer: Grand Touring. And the American way, please! The Rocket III was just asking to be equipped to hunt in the lands of the Harley-Davidson Electra and Road King. So Hinckley offered it, or rather, transformed and adapted it for Uncle Sam's Highways. The Rocket III Touring isn't just a Rocket with a windscreen and 2 suitcases. The big British custom is largely redesigned to ensure its supremacy in the cruising market.

from the standard Rocket III, Triumph has kept only the engine, albeit with revised mapping for better throttle control. With its majestic 3-cylinder engine and incomparable breathing, this new GT will fear no competition when it comes to muscle and feel. All around, everything has been modified to offer Touring passengers a new way of enjoying the road and comfort.
Chassis, wheels, suspension, seat, fuel tank, instrumentation, headlight... Everything, I tell you, has been adapted. Some details make it easy to switch from "cruising" to "custom" mode; suitcases like the windshield are held in place by quick-release fasteners.

this imposing GT will find itself up against the Goldwing benchmark and the inevitable Harleys. The 3-cylinder receives a new mapping: less power (down to 106 hp) but 1 mkg more at 2,025 rpm. The big British mill now pumps out over 21 mkg just above idle - a real tractor. A real uppercut for the competition. Once the V2 t flat 6s have calmed down, the Touring will have to prove that it can hold its own in terms of dynamics and comfort.
It's already charmed you... All you have to do is turn up at Triumph with a cheque for 19,290 euros.
