From UK based Superbike Magazine:
2.3 litre Harley Beater
Triumph sticks a rocket under Harley Davidson
A chorus of ‘fuck me’ rang through the office as we cast our eyes on the new Triumph Rocket III. The Hinkley firm has taken the rule book, then chucked it away in making this most massive of machines. The numbers are big, with a capital B. There’s a 2,294cc longitudinal inline triple cylinder engine, 147ft lb of torque (at 2,500rpm!), 140bhp, a 240/50-section rear tyre and it’s claimed to pull 1.2g under acceleration. With specs like this Triumph really has stuck a rocket under Harley Davidson, and it’s not shy on the styling front either – Triumph has imported a whole heap of ‘bad-ass’ to make this utterly stunning creation. It should be released next spring but we’ll have a gawp at the Milan show and let you know what it’s like in the flesh.
