The local Triumph dealer has an all Black Touring Rocket III on the floor. No demo unit as of yet. Cheap bastards! That RocketIII Touring, with the black engine as well, is awesome looking. The salesman says there's night and day difference is slow speed handling; I'll have to take his word...
Although I want to rig up a belly or under seat tank, the easiest option is one of the tour tanks that mounts like a beer keg on the rear rack.
I can use quick disconnects on the fuel line and remove it when I'm not out on the longer trips... Only thing I'm worried about is perpetual...
Currently on fleabay. The new touring style mufflers are out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Triumph-Rocket-III-Touring-Accessory-Mufflers-A9608090_W0QQitemZ110200056334QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110200056334
Today I traded my 05 red rocket III in for the new 07 rocket III classic tourer. It is black and white.
Now check this out, I owned the red rocket for nearly three years and never a speeding ticket or even stopped for anything. But today with only 14miles after leaving the dealership I get...
I read a post in one of the forums that "New" Rockets arrive at the dealer without a tune installed. This occurs when the bike is uncrated & assembled. Is there any reason why a Rocket III Touring (basically de-tuned) could not be "tuned" to the same specs as a standard or classic Rocket...

I just bought a new tourer last week and can't get the grin off my face. (Except when I hit a bump. Ouch!!! My back is still killing me.)
I had a BMW which I have always loved. Several of my friends have Harleys and Harley clones, so the BMW always looked out of place on group rides. My wife...
Like some of you know from my first posts, I sold my Harley Electra Glide and bought a Rocket III. My wife misses the comfort and security of the tour pak, so...what do you think of the intial stages of my next modification? Has anyone done this yet?
Want to see something rather usual. Take a look at what Triumph is planning to release/ expel.

What an error in judgement!:eek::eek::eek:
Looks like it's ready to go for this next year??? Doesn't look like a 240 on the rear either.

These are the first spy photos to reveal the final look of Triumph's new 2.3 litre tourer based on the Rocket III.
The new bike might share the Rocket's engine, but the bodywork, suspension and chassis are all new, suggesting it will be marketed as a completely separate model rather than just...
Looks like it may be here.

How long has Sport Touring.Net been down? Do we have any misplaced lurkers here from STN? If so... I can put up a temporary forum for you guys until they get your site back up. Let me know if there is any interest in that...

I stopped by the dealer today and asked if they heard of any rumors of a touring Rocket at the US dealer conference. They stated the closest thing Triumph will have for a touring model is the "touring package" they will be offering which is a Classic model with a windshield and bags installed...
