Press Reviews
Triumph Rocket III Roadster (2009-current) - MCN
Triumph’s decision to revamp the original Rocket III into a streetfighter is an interesting one. Why? Because it hardly fits the bill – stripped version of a sports bike with oddball looks – because of its custom-biased specs of long wheelbase and weight, but it works.
Big, no, no, really big engine meets menacing black styling meets awesome torque and horsepower to make life sane and mad at the twist of a wrist.
