Motorcycle specifications Triumph2300 ROCKET III Roadster 2012 The devastating couple

Cruiser

how do you create the world's biggest production roadster? For Triumph, it's simple: take the world's biggest custom motorcycle - in this case, Triumph's Rocket III - and turn it into a roadster. With its enormous 2.3-liter 3-cylinder engine, this over-sized custom has never found a rival. But the Hinckley-based brand has tweaked it for even more power. The Rocket III Roadster delivers a few extra horses and, above all, 14% more torque. The British block sends over 22 mkg through the rear gumshoe. In keeping with its roadster philosophy (is it really a roadster?), the riding position, handlebars and seat have been redesigned, the suspension improved, the new exhaust pipes chromed, and ABS fitted as standard. With its revised ergonomics and reduced weight, the Rocket III Roadster is said to be easier to carry around - but that's relative: the beast still weighs over 300 kilos. But with this machine, the Yamaha 1700 V-Max has finally found someone to talk to. The Rocket III Roadster now replaces the brand's standard and Classic versions. We are witnessing the birth of a new family of machines, which Triumph has humbly christened Ultimate muscle streetfighter.

French La Mouche Model 2011
an exceptional motorcycle, one that has created a genre of its own! both simple and perfected, every session behind the wheel is an exceptional moment, it has the class of an Aston Martin, while being rather reliable and hard-wearing, but you need a good pair of gloves to ride it, a formidable machine that I don't regret buying at all Rating : 5/5
French Model 2012
The Rocket's overhaul is just around the corner, and HD can sell its soul to the devil to compete.
Having tasted the Z750, XB12X, BKING 1340, I've turned over a new leaf. It's just the power consumption that bothers me.
Thank you TRIUMPH.

I drove a 750 cc for a season in 1979 and since then nothing. I just bought a Rocket 111 roadster 2013 matte black that I will take Possession on Monday April 15. What advice could you give me?

hello everyone; I've owned this rocket 3 since the beginning of 2010, it's in full gear I thought it pushed harder.but it's a hell of a bike all the same. regards guy. Rating : 5/5

more than a grindstone, a work of art, for experienced bikers, forget about showing off if you don't know how to ride, it's not for you!

if you do know how to ride, however, stop working out, just by riding a 2.3-liter rocket you'll already be doing so !!!!

the aggressive yet classic look is a real success !!!!

the pleasure of leaving most sports bikes on the tiles when you start riding a "classic" or a custom or a chopper or a dragster???

and if it was a 3in1 motorcycle?

in matte black, you'd think it was straight out of hell, and that the asphalt was afraid of it!

but in a classier shade, you'd think she was a beautiful custom!

it's a bike that turns heads and arouses a lot of curiosity in bikers, I've ridden a few kilometers with it as a passenger after some foam, I assure you, the roller coaster is a park bench next to it!
