[ST] Rocket Jockeys



More info on the Rocket 3 from MCN News web site at
http://www.motorcyclenews.com/home

Triumph?s new Rocket III has twice as much torque as an R1, tops 150mph and
features the biggest purpose-built bike engine ever at 2294cc.

The triple-cylinder cruiser has almost twice as much torque as a
Harley-Davidson V-Rod, and 50 per cent more than a Suzuki Hayabusa. Peak
torque is at just 2500rpm, and the resulting acceleration is equivalent to
1.2G of force and by comparison, a Suzuki GSX-R struggles to better the 1G
mark.
