147lb ft of torque at a lazy 2,500rpm! Triumph claims that the Rocket 3 would out-accelerate a Yamaha R1 to 100mph and sprint from 0 to 60mph in just 2.8 seconds!
The Rocket 3 produces more torque at idle than a Honda FireBlade at its 8,500rpm peak!
Yes. Without power/torque restriction in low gears rocket 3 would beat yamaha r1 in acceleration. Because without low gear power restriction rocket 3 has been proven to burnout on 70-80kmh speed and rocket 3 doesnt have wheelie problem. R1 wheelies easily.
Heard one these today at a triumph garage. Scared the crap out of my little brother when it was fired up, and when I sat on it, he said it made me look small (I'm 6'4)! It's so HEAVY though, but beautiful, just like most triumphs as I found out today :D
You don't get the bass on Youtube. Much better IRL. But the stock pipes made my bonnie so quiet the mechanical noises from the engine were almost louder. Must be a Triumph marketing ploy to sell the bigger pipes :)
First, make sure you have a sub-woofer connected to your PC. There is not such a big compromise on sound as picture here on YouTube. Then I can probably see where you're coming from having heard plenty of nice V-twins. However, in this segment the Rocket III is very special with its big triple engine and enormous performance. Nothing economy about the performance and feel of this bike! But I sort of agree about the engine noise (not to be confused with the exhaust note).
Smells fishy round here... It's you and Elton mate. Don't be so angry just because you feel different than the rest. It's just natural, come out of the closet and sing I want to be free by Freddy Mercury! Then get another pair of fancy Italian racing leathers directly from the Milan fashion week that matches your GSXR perfectly. It's good that you're here actually so that you can talk about your problem and find your inner twat. Go on Fish, we know you have one!
ahhhh,,,,thanks for the correction EasyRino2........*cheers*.........i love the bike!!!,in fact i have a hard on for one..lol......all my bikes have been sport bikes, however, this rocket.......is one solid looking bike,and i want one sooooooo bad, makes my palms sweat....*cheers*

it sounds like it is supposed to sound, its a 3-cylinder engine, not a v-twin and that's why it doesnt sound like a harley or something....

I like the exhaust note on Tribal, but the engine sound is like of an economy car, nothing like a cruiser is supposed to sound.

I ride a man's bike, a 1976 Bonneville a true Triumph Made in England, not an imitation made in Thailand like the RocketIII.
Tiny dick = BIG engine = Rocket III.

No bother mate. Saw a guy hoist the front wheel about 5 feet up when he pulled away on his rocket 3. They really are insane bikes:)

The guy on the video is referring to both of the bikes combined hence 6 cylinders and 300BHP cos one has federal spec pipes.
EasyRhino2 4 years ago

The Rocket III is such a ludicrous bike! I'm not normally into cruisers but I would make an exception for a Rocket.
