Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2007 Triumph Rocket III.
When launched in 2004, the Rocket III was crowned the worlds biggest production motorcycle with its 2294cc three-cylinder engine. The bike disappeared from European showrooms rather quickly in the wake of the Euro 4 emission regulations but continued to sell in America for those wanting to cruise on the chrome beast.
At the time, it had the largest displacement engine fitted to mass production motorcycle – a whopping 2.3L that put out 140 hp. Fun fact: the STARTER motor alone on this bike makes as much power as Triumph’s first-ever motorcycle – just about 1.75 horses.
The bike was available in a few styling variants, Classic, Roadster, and Touring, all of which focused on the ‘power cruiser’ look.
Any time we feature a Rocket III, we feel obligated to share this video:
