Next Rocket model

[Tex08]

Tex08 do you have more details about the Victory engine ? Any pictures ?

As of right now i don't sorry they said its gonna be a 2500 or a 2700

NO they are going to watercooling to compete with Harley

Says my umm job....um at Victory.....hmmmmmm but yea ur right. they did already come up with the water cooling and tested on the indian scout...btw it was a success

YEP RUMORS lots of that stuff but I have seen some 145 CI v twins but they arent anything worth talking abbout as none of the v twins make much power just big noise makers

I kinda like balanced numbers and would love to see a 3 litre Rocket. 1000cc per pot is easier to explain to a non Rocket owner that 769.3cc? (see even I don't remember) LoL

In which case it would only be necessary if another bike came along that threatened the Rocket's crown. Given the proportion of the public, including biking public, unaware that it's 2300 anyway it would be of questionable value even then. I still think the focus will be on styling and enhancements already mentioned.

ITS not a problem to make the rocket engine 3000 CC or they could turbo the 2300. Kawasaki just did a supercharged 1000 cc to create 2 crazy unrideable bikes $25,000 and 50,000 for the track version so larger isnt really necessary they could just retune for more power they are detuned as they come now so its easy to give us more power The Rocket is in a very mild state of tune as you know we can more than double the HP with normal modifications.

keep it a 2300 shorten the stroke and give it a larger bore at the factory, being 2300 cc it shouldn't affect the torque anything we could feel but possibly get max power a little higher up the rev range and add some hp out of the box. Make it an s version.

Ain't we got enough rev happy 'Over-square' ninja blenders making peak horsepower at engine/ground speeds we can't possibly use on public roads and highways? A Lotus Elite goes like a scolded cat down a twisty mountain road or race track. But day to day in the real world a 440 Hemi-Cuda gives the smiles per mile. I could imagine a "S" version with proven tweaks to intake/exhaust and fuel mapping. But changing the whole personality of the motor to that of a mix-master would be wrong IMO.

I like my Rocket III just the way it is...

... and, by the look of it, so does this bloke: Guy Martin Wants To Break Land Speed Record With 400-MPH Triumph: Video

I would agree. I want All the power/torque from 0 to 6000rpm but that's just me.
