Title: Triumph Rocket III Post by: Goat_Herder on October 01, 2009, 11:01:41 AM Not sure if this is a Derby...
2.4L Inline 3 / 146HP / 165 ft/lb. This thing is powerful enough to pull a boat! :o http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/01/triumph-updates-2010-rocket-iii-now-makes-165-lb-ft-of-torque/ (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/01/triumph-updates-2010-rocket-iii-now-makes-165-lb-ft-of-torque/) Title: Re: Triumph Rocket III Post by: zarn02 on October 01, 2009, 11:26:05 AM No need for a pickup to tow your bikes.
Just pull 'em with another bike. (I'd do it just for the looks and confused questions.)

Mind you, in the hands of a capable rider, even a goldwing can fly.... deals gap on a goldwing/gl1800 by yellow wolf dragons tail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nrMQ3QwyPo#normal) Title: Re: Triumph Rocket III Post by: Monsterlover on October 03, 2009, 06:48:36 AM I demo'd a R3 a couple years ago.
While it is a cool bike, it was not as brutal as I had hoped. They limit power in the first few gears. That being said, if you want to cruise at 140 mph, you can. It also needs more ground clearance. In my first corner on the demo ride I proceeded to plant the foot board and skate it through the entire corner ;D Cool bike, but not my style.

Somehow I can't picture you on a bike with foot boards.While it is a cool bike, it was not as brutal as I had hoped. They limit power in the first few gears.

Sometimes you have to try new things to realize you were good where you were ;D Title: Re: Triumph Rocket III Post by: Popeye the Sailor on October 04, 2009, 11:21:11 AM Sometimes you have to try new things to realize you were good where you were ;D That doesn't work with wives, btw.
