I always laugh with you guys as old as this video is. I still have my ole 2006 Rocket 3 . Love this bike. Peace.

Triumph...still making us Brits proud...

I put together a rocket 3 with a piston, head and cam set from the same outfit. I thought the bike was a beast as it was, my god the acceleration and torque on that bike! Not working at a triumph dealership anymore and as much as I miss riding their entire line, I do miss the rocket. I don't care much for cruisers in general, but that bike is like nothing else. If you have any doubts, go see if you can get a test ride. The funniest test riders are harley people, always coming in bragging about how much they spent on their bike and how fast it is. One ride on the rocket and they come back shaking their heads, the first thing most of them do is whack the throttle in 2nd gear not knowing what will happen. What little they usually say coming back shows that they scared themselves, and then they got back on their turd bikes and left.

Hey thank you. it is approximately a $6,000 Drive-In drive-out package from Carpenter but the header Power Commander and any other extras are additional.. I also upgraded the clutch because the steals are too thin and back before most of the engine work was done when it was just bolt ons I warped the steel plates. So carpenter has figured out a hybrid hayabusa clutch pack that works in the rocket and I have had no issues with it. But obviously this is severe duty I have gone 10.2 at 124 miles per hour at the drag strip with this bike so far hand clutching in foot shifting.
