For Sale 2.5L Rocket III Stroker Kits

[Dzhaks]

Hey bud I just noticed your name and I'm curious as to whether you might be a White Russian? Just wondering as it looks a little like Polish? No offense intended. Sorry to side track you strokers

Good idea)))

You may want to go back and read my post slowly. I said Arto got it right not Triumph.

Amigo,
"At least you got the 6 speed right. Triumph screwed the pooch."
I think I read this just fine. R-lll-R Turbo got his 6 speed right & Triumph did not.
I took your words to mean Triumph "screwed the pooch" on the new 6 speed.
I have seen no evidence that either is true.
What did I miss?

BINGO !

I am curious about what you folks reckon is wrong with cruising at 3,000 RPM in 5th gear?
Tis at or near the power band if needed . . .

It sounded like you thought I was happy with Triumph's 6 speed. Maybe I need to go back and read your post slowly.

Nothing at all if 3000 rpms is 85 mph.

The same thing that is "wrong" with riding a Roadster.

Nothing "wrong" anywhere here.

A grand beauty of the Rocket is it's grand capacity that offers the potential for it to be many things to many people.

You have been a great contributor to that process

Touring works best (for *ME*) with plenty of torque down low and cruising between locations (can we say RAA East and RAA West?).

I already contend with the wind noise. A cruise at 2,200 vs 3,000 rpm is going to be less noise over many hours, as well as significantly fewer piston miles over time.

This is exactly what we do with piston-powered airplanes. RPM are up (typically max) along with fuel consumption for takeoff -- then backed off a bit for climb. At altitude, the RPM are dialed way back for reduced fuel consumption and engine wear.

My wife likes to ride with me and we use a Sena 20 intercom. She says we talk more on the bike than any other time.

PRICELESS

Gratitude for your response, Paul.
My wife always holds up her spread hand stating, "Five fingers - all fingers, yet different in many ways."
When I am riding my motor, to me the sound of my engine is the music that enhanses the experience. The sound of human chit-chat sucks and detracts from that great pleasure.
As long as it's running well, I could not care less about fuel consumption. I ride to travel and soak in the awesomeness of America and its people; not to save money commuting.
Riding with others, on their motors, affords the opportunity to enjoy and share the experience with friends and enjoy their company when we stop along the way.

Another 5 mph isnt worth the trouble

 

[Joesmoe]

For whom are you speaking @IMFASTTOO ? Worth it, to whom ?

And let us all remember -- this is actually a Classified Ad -- and the worth being offered here is a broad band increase in torque and power - and we know many Captains want MORE.
