Triumph Rocket III Overview

11
This is the Rocket III for riders who
like their thrills laced with a bit of chill.
The torquey motor stays the same, the
ergonomics change, making the Classic
the perfect bike for those lazy, long haul
trips. Bars are higher and pulled back
further; you get footboards to stretch
out on and the pillion gets a more
generous seat. Almost yogic.
The low centre of gravity and light as a
feather clutch make manoeuvring a breeze
and the motor sounds gorgeous - 2294 cc
gently massaging the vital organs of
anyone you pass. That’ll be practically
everybody then.
Thrill with chill
