Rocket III Roadster
For when too much is never enough.
2.3 litres. 221Nm of torque. Blacked out. Blinged up. Streetfighting cruiser. Hard. The Rocket III Roadster is not normal, it is very, very special. No other motorcycle on the planet comes close to delivering the tree-pulling levels of torque that comes as standard with the turbine-like triple. Twist and go. Sounds great, stops great. Standard ABS. Classic streetfighter looks. Are you ‘bad’ enough for the Rocket III Roadster?
Features – Rocket III Roadster
The engine. What an engine. With 2,294cc of pure muscle delivering 146bhp at 5,750 rpm and 221Nm the Roadster accelerates like nothing else. Smooth and balanced with minimal torque reaction.
Of course, such an engine requires a quality chassis and the Rocket III Roadster doesn’t disappoint. High quality chassis components include 43mm upside down forks and standard anti-lock brakes, while the Roadster’s ergonomics have been developed to put the rider in total control.
As you’d expect from a top-of-the-range machine, the Rocket III Roadster features a comprehensive instrumentation package, delivered neatly in the classic twin clock design.
