>The Thruxton is a Bonneville dressed as a cafe racer. The motor has 65 more cc of grunt. It has clip-ons and high pegs.



Is it gonna look like Bonneville Ace Replica;

I donno what the production model looks like but that 2.2L triple thing just look ugly.

Check out the story and pictures at www.motorcycledaily.com for the poop on the Rocket III.



Somebody told me the thing has a 250 series back tire, and will beat a Hayabusa to 60 mph! You think Triumph is going to sell a harness to keep people from peeling themselves off the bike?

Uuuhhh, no thank you....

Look at this baby! After the first news came out and I saw the stamp size picture I was drooling, then there were confirmed rumours that it was canceled. But it came anyway.



Like my fat-boy first tricked to 93hp and then fitted with a third cylinder for a good measure. And look at the torque. Whoopee.

Wow, another ugly multi-cylinder cruiser. I guess Honda aren't the only ones that don't understand the importance of attractive styling in this market.

I'd be much more interested in the Thruxton than the Rocket three, when do we get pictures of that

Triumphs heritige is cafe` racers, I don't know why they insist on stuff like this.

I dunno, but 140hp/147tq has a way of curing a lot of sins...

In the pictures it looks to be wearing Dunlop D208 tires, in which case it sure wouldnt be a 250, in fact no larger than a 200

Jeez, that Rocket 3's ugly, like a cross between a tote-goat and a Boss-Hoss. Maybe a Boss Goat? Tote Hoss? Uck.



No, strike that, looks like a cross between an Henderson Four and a Cushman Super Eagle.



Give an Englishman a piece of metal and he's bound to do something silly with it...
