THE Rocket III Classic Tourer is Triumph's latest entry into the cruiser market, and one thing's for sure: It's no hog. But at 751 pounds dry and nearly 2,300 cc, it is quite the heifer.


Overview


Power. Girth. Flash. Triumph's biggest and baddest is a real beefcake of a bike that panders to cruisers' basest instincts. It just does it in an unconventional way.


New for 2007, the touring version of Triumph's year-old Rocket III Classic is a triple novelty. The long and low profile, the floorboards and rock 'n' roll shift are pure cruiser, but the bike is English, not American or Japanese. Its power isn't cranked from a big, air-cooled V-twin but a gargantuan, liquid-cooled in-line triple. Busting the bucket at a whopping 2,294 cc, it's also the largest-displacement mass-produced motorcycle with a motorcycle engine on the market.


The advantage of a triple over a twin? There's just as much bottom-end torque (147 pound-feet at 2,500 rpm) but less vibration and higher revs, for an even broader power band. Then there are aesthetics. On the Rocket III Classic Tourer, the motor's mounted lengthwise rather than crosswise in a nod to another well-loved though long-defunct English motorcycle manufacturer — BSA.


What's modern about the '07 tourer: the motor is counterbalanced, to make the ride even smoother. In addition to being liquid cooled, it's also shaft driven and fuel-injected
