Next Rocket model

[IMFASTTOO]

It's the higher compression that makes the Caroenters more efficient.[/Q

And Blasphemous to the iconic Triumph Triple

HEY a 3000CC four would be a hell of a bike do you think the public is stuck on triples no way they could care less just give them more HP

Good thing Triumph has more class than some of its consumers then hey.
Probably would be one hell of a bike but leave the Rocket alone i say or use a different name if your going to do it. Half the people wanting the extra power cant handle the power they already have .They just think it will make their little dicks seem bigger or something

They just think it will make their little dicks seem bigger or something

By that logic I should have bought a Honda 50

What will Triumph do next?
What would you like Triumph to do next?

Rocket II Sport Touring?

Rocket III RR?

Rocket III RS?

Answers on a postcard

THAT sport touring version looks nice if you want a fairing and bags

 

[IMFASTTOO]

Not the sport tourer but dress out the Touring into a full blown land yacht rig with fixed fairing, audio, cruise (as part of a ride-by-wire overhaul), top case, etc. Rocket III Grand Touring.

TOO BIG land yacht Ill buy a sports car about the same size like a MIATA Ican get a nice used one for under 10 grand

 

[R3T-Too]

Correction to previous post on RPM at speeds.

Hooked up a blutooth ELM and ran the Torque app with GPS MPH last night.
At 80 mph (per gps) the RPMs are a touch over 3.2K.

Me or the calculator I used earlier must have some issues. Motorcycle gear/rpm/speed calculator

Gonna have to play with shift points too. I don't really feel like I need to bounce off the Rev limiter with the R3; but I was shifting before 5K easy. Should get a bit faster running second out nearer to 6K.

DONT kid yourself a 3000cc four would sell and you would be a buyer I know I would and Triumph fans are not stuck on just TWINS and TRIPLES a

 

[sonny]

How about a 2500cc triple, sounds like fun to me.
