Rocket III
 

The Rocket III is in a class all on its own; the largest capacity production motorcycle in the world with dazzling looks, fantastic performance and amazing specification.

The fuel injected, twelve-valve powerplant has a cubic capacity of 2294cc - that's 140 cubic inches - and makes 147ftlbs of torque at 2500 rpm. This awesome output means even two-up it accelerates with ease, and tenacious forward motion is just a slight twist of a throttle away.

However, the delectable, inexhaustable flow of power from the triple's 2.3 litres engine can be effortlessly controlled using only two fingers. The Rocket III has a low centre of gravity and composed riding position giving a fine sense of balance and control. it sails round corners that would make most cruisers twitch making the Rocket III a truly useable machine that can cruise streets or hustle turns with equal and effortless ability.
