I got an adrenaline rush just watching the Speedo

I have a 2015 Rocket3. More power than I need. Can't imagine having it turbo charged. Awsome vid.

Absolutely insane! Love the sound. Excellent job. God, is there anything better than a Rocket III? Yes, a _turbocharged_ Rocket III!

It'll pass anything on the road except a gas station ...

@@exothermal.sprocket Most riders can't get their sports bikes to do 0-60 in 3 seconds or less. It takes a perfect launch. This bike does it without even giving it full throttle in 1st.

60 mph isn't that quick however. But I understand. It's more about the gearing of a particular bike than it is peak power. Most racetrack bikes have a stupid tall 1st gear which makes launching very difficult.

That was just so entertaining, cheers from a Valkyrie Owner.

I have had my 06 R3 for 6 years now. Just can never get tired of this bike. I love it. Just running a D&D pipe and K&N air filter with a Dark side tire out back. This is the perfect bike for out here in the Mojave desert. Don't need no damn turbo!

Awesome video brother!..And awesome bike!..Looking forward to more vids!

that sounds amazing! sounds way more 'soulful' than a large displacement V twin imo. I think my next bike will be a triumph

I hope you picked one up. They're a seriously monstrous bike, no turbo needed. Loved the way I could feel the engine idling through the ground under the bike, and the power delivery was nothing sort of frightening stock, a turbo sounds like too much.

wow thats a real monster you have there man, respect!

Normally I don't condone this kind of behaviour. But just this once, I will. That was sheer lunacy and I loved it lol. Plus your comments at the end. Proper chuckling. But not at your potential repair bills!

Great video buddy congrat.... Brutal bike excellent accelleration, massive torq yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa!! Big smile on your face

Absolutely insane, love it.

Excellent vid, shame these kinds of vids are rare for the rocket. Nice to see how a turbocharged rocket compares to a NA one of the same power

Great vid, loved it.

Having ridden this incredible machine, I can testify that it's as smooth as butter. The pull is so hard and fast that it blurs your vision. I always thought of it as the Caddilac of bikes. Incredibly balanced; nearly effortless to control . . . it's on a completely different level compared to other bikes.

@@brentmiller7901 The amount of torque the Rocket has is so strong, it pulls the 800lbs around as though it doesn't exist. I'm not sure that a person can comprehend this unless they actually ride it. The other remarkable aspect of this bike is that though you're up to 80mph in about two seconds, there is no feeling . . . at all . . . that you're about to fall off the back of the bike. That said, a person would be wise to offer you $22,000 - $25,000 for it. From Nova to Rocket . . . unreal.

it doesn't even sound like a motor cycle when fast. it sounds like a bmw m3

Absolute animal of a motorcycle!!

I love the way this bike cruises thru the 100 mph mark with such ease. I would have to duck down and pin the accelerator for a few miles to get my shadow 750 to go 100!

Gotta ride one of these one day. The low end hit must be awesome. My 1000cc RR had about 100 pounds and 150 HP and just that felt like it had hellishly strong pull even in the low end, I can't imagine having 240 ft/lb. Please do be careful with this bike though. Even though it will match or even outdo a 1000cc in power it still doesn't have the frame of one for stability at high speeds.

Absolutely wicked😎

awesome watch that speedo

Damn that's badass

Meals on wheels. Delivered to it's final destination in 3 seconds flat

I rode my buddies 2013 Rocket 3 at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2023. It was modified but no turbo or supercharger and on very wet salt we got 164 mph. After trying to get it up a bit faster I crashed on the 3rd run. I'm going back in August of 2024 on a 2021 model with just an ECU flash. Hopefully this one handles better.

This thing has more power than my truck.

Just as the rev counter goes red at about 6,500 revs, I'd put a little marker on the rev counter (maybe a little bright red dot) at the point where the front wheel begins to lift off the ground? --- rally car drivers have for many years marked the centre of the steering wheel with white tape as a visual reminder of when the wheels are facing straight ahead.

That's insane!

Sorry, can't answer. I've never had that opportunity. I'm guessing this bike would take one of those off the line no problem and they wouldn't catch up until around 120mph where they'd start to pull away.

whats the time 100 to 200km/h ?

crazy

10lbs max boost... jeez. Betcha needed some forged internals for this one.

I have a rocket 3, owned it for 7 years. One thing I will say is that its very hard to take sharp corners on it, especially hairpins or slightly lesser corners. I ride mine in rural Scotland where the roads are very bendy and sharp, you have to take it easy on the corners there, you just don't know what lies beyond, mud or grit or some tractor parked just round the bend. Don't get me wrong I really know how to ride my rocket, its become second nature to me, but like I say it does not lean over as easy as one might think, after all its not a racing bike, and even if you do lean it over it will peg out very easily, and that can be dangerous. Its designed for cruising on the open road where it comes into its own, nothing will beat it there and I mean NOTHING! All in all, I would not part with it its such a thrill, and I have had many bikes in my life.

Not if you set it up properly. It requires extra fuel management hardware and software and has to be tuned just right on a dyno. I don't know of anyone making a kit anymore. You can get a supercharger from TTS in England and Carpenter Racing in the states does engine mods increasing HP without boost. They had a turbo kit in the works but I don't think it ever materialized. Join r3owners.net if you have not already done so. A wealth of information for R3 owners. My username on that forum is Torque addict.
