Spy shots new rocket

Interesting early spy pics. Let’s see what shows up at the dealer and with what price tag. If I bought another bike right now my family would have me committed.

For those of you who would not buy one because they look ugly go to your garage and look at your current R3

No problem for me, M8.
I'm not looking at the bike when I'm fanging it!
 
Hey! I've an idea. You go spend the big bucks on a new model. Then, you can give me a great deal on your R3T. It's already red and black. I'll be all set. This way your wife can't get ticked about extra cycles...
 
well, does any one remember this then???


MCN Exclusive: Triumph Rocket III Touring spyshots


Published: 14 August 2007


Here are the world’s first pictures of the final version of Triumph’s Rocket III Touring – which shows that the bike bears an almost remarkable resemblance to the Harley-Davidson Road King.

This motorcycle was first revealed in MCN more than a year ago, and now we have exclusive photographs taken by MCN’s spy photographer on UK roads in its final tests.

The Rocket III Touring boasts a revised riding position and a larger screen plus fold-out pillion footboards among its features.

For further information on the features of the TriumphRocket III Touring’s features and also how it can turn in to a V-Max killer, check out this week’s edition of MCN, available from Wednesday, August 15, 2007.

I'll give that plan some thought, but somehow I think there is a serious flaw in it. My wife has never had an interest in the handguns I own but she has recently expressed an interest in learning how to shoot one.
 

Not sure I’d buy a new model until a couple of years debugging has taken place...
 
Like most, there are bits i like and bits I don't.

Big thing for me it looks a bit too much like a Diavel though won't have the ridiculous price tag.

Back end doesn't look pillion friendly unless there is more to come. I need to consider where the wife will park her ample posterior and she doesn't like the "hanging off the back" feeling, which was how she felt when we tested a Diavel.

Guessing this is an early prototype and not the final bike for market so they will likely tidy up some of the loose odds and ends that don't look finished.

Dare say over time i could come to love it!
