2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster: holy shit, 15 percent more torque
The 2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster now makes 163 lb/ft of torque -- twice that of an R1 -- 146bhp and becomes a little less of a cruiser and a little more of a streetfighter.

Question is, can you even use all of that torque with that kind of laid-back riding position.

I love this bike.
It still needs a 6th gear though.

It probably weighs twice as much as an R1 as well...ok maybe not but still pretty fat.
I'd like to ride it though. |

Holy SHIT!!!
It's love at first sight...I'm calling the Triumph dealer now to arrange a test ride. I'd trade my M109-R for that in a heartbeat. |
