2009 Triumph Rocket 3 Touring (Rocket III Touring)

When designing a new long distance touring motorcycle, an engine capable of effortlessly devouring the miles is without doubt the best place to start. You could say our designers had an unfair advantage with the unique and highly acclaimed Rocket III 2300cc power plant at their disposal. However the engine, which is specially tuned for low down torque, and the same high specification braking system from the original Rocket III are the only major engineering elements carried over.

Everything else is new.

The Rocket III Touring is purposely designed and built to make it a great Custom Touring motorcycle.
Suspension tuned to achieve high levels of comfort without compromising control, together with 180 mm rear tyre and 16 inch wheels make lighter handling. Wide sumptuous seat for both rider and passenger, footboards front and rear, colour matched waterproof hard cases and shrouded front forks with polished lower castings provide more comfort, practicality and style.

It’s all new from the rider’s point of view too with new tank mounted instruments, a quick detach screen, switchgear and rider controls including a new heel and toe gear shift.

All together it’s a machine that really does have the power to move you, your pillion and whatever you want to take, no matter how far you want to go.

Features & Benefits

Engine

The Rocket III Touring shares the same engine platform as the Rocket III. Its increased torque at low speeds means that even two-up and fully laden it will accelerate effortlessly for easy overtaking. The engine management system uses sensors to determine the correct fuelling and ignition and tailors the torque curve for each gear ratio. As a result the Rocket III Touring responds quickly, cleanly and strongly at any speed, in any gear.

Seat

The seat has the generous proportion of being 18” wide. The three layer construction with taped seams ensures that water is kept out!

Hard Panniers

The colour-matched, hard panniers come as standard and are lockable using the ignition key. They are quick to detach via two quarter-turn fasteners. They have been designed to be free-standing and are fully sealed.

Footboards

Teardrop shaped, chromed aluminium castings with removable wear plates, spring mounted with an anti rattle pivot and rubber down stops.

Screen

A quick release screen comes as standard with great care paid to the details: The polished stainless steel mechanism and unique spring-loaded mounting bobbins lock the screen solidly in place, while lower air deflectors work with the main ‘blade’ of the screen to deflect turbulence.

Instruments

The speedometer and integrated analogue fuel gauge is mounted on top of the fuel tank. The digital display shows a clock, trip and fuel range functions via a button on the handlebars.

2009 Triumph Rocket 3 Classic (Rocket III Classic)

The Rocket III Classic exudes effortless, laid back cruiser style.

Pulled back bars, footboards, large dual seat combined with classic styled reverse cone silencers and a two tone paint scheme could give the impression that it’s a little less purposeful than the standard Rocket III.

Don’t be fooled.

The Rocket III Classic has all the performance, handling and usability that make every Rocket III so special.

Same engine, same torque, same awe inspiring performance, same effortless handling, same high spec sports bike derived brakes – all delivered with its own classic cruiser style.

Features & Benefits

Engine
The incredible 2.3 litre, in-line, water cooled, triple cylinder engine means that even two-up the Rocket III accelerates incredibly hard without obvious effort.

Despite its size, the engine is incredibly smooth as the balance, input and rear drive shaft contra-rotate against the crankshaft, which makes for minimal torque reaction.

Transmission
Shaft drive is ideally suited to dealing with such a strong production engine and gives the added benefit of being highly durable and virtually maintenance free.

Brakes
The Rocket III’s front brakes - twin four-piston calipers mated with 320mm floating discs – are built to sports bike specification and provide awesome stopping power. The rear brake, developed especially by Brembo, is a single twin piston caliper and 316mm disc.

Fuelling
Twin butterfly valves for each throttle body are used to give precise control over the engine and this set-up allows the ECU to vary the mixture flow and ignition map dependent on gear selected and road speed. The torque curve is thus tailored specifically for each gear ratio. And the result is impressive – over 90% of the engine’s prodigious torque output is available at just 2000rpm, giving incredible levels of flexibility and making the five-speed gearbox almost redundant.

Suspension
The Rocket III’s chassis is something quite special and centres on a large tubular steel twin-spine frame, which houses the motor, while 43mm upside down forks and spring preload adjustable twin rear shocks, built specifically for the Rocket III, add control, composure and supple compliance.

2009 Triumph Rocket 3 (Rocket III)

Words will never do justice to the Rocket III. It’s a design and engineering masterpiece that really has to be ridden to be appreciated.

The awe inspiring 2300cc triple cylinder power plant delivers arm wrenching torque via shaft drive for amazing acceleration and controllable power off the line and through the gears. It’s the world’s largest production motorcycle, but the real surprise is that it handles like a bike half its size thanks to the design intent from day one. Performance, handling and usability will always be at the heart of all our motorcycles and the legendary Rocket III proves it.

It’s a real rider’s bike with unique and original custom styling. Think of it as a Streetfighter on steroids. Its sports bike derived brakes include twin front discs with Nissin 4 piston floating callipers, a Brembo rear calliper and braided hoses all round.

A massive 240mm rear tyre and long chromed, triple exhaust pipes add to its presence and confirm that this incredible motorcycle has the performance to match its muscular looks.

2009 Triumph Speedmaster

The Speedmaster makes its inspiration and intentions clear from the start. We took that laid back custom look and added a real big helping of attitude.

The result is a tough looking motorcycle with slash-cut pipes, blacked out engine casings and black cast wheels with machined rims. The Speedmaster celebrates the performance of its air-cooled 865cc parallel twin, 270º crank engine in a unique 60’s hot rod style.

A tank mounted tacho, braided hoses, twin front discs and flat bars confirm this motorcycle goes as well as it looks.

Make no mistake, whenever and wherever a Speedmaster arrives it leaves no one in any doubt as to how great the ride has been on the way.

Features & Benefits

Engine

At the heart of the Speedmaster lies a fuel injected, 865cc, air-cooled, DOHC, parallel twin engine with a 270º firing interval. Peak power of 61bhp arrives at 6800rpm, with maximum torque of 55ft.lbf available at just 3300rpm.

Fuelling

The Speedmaster is updated with a new fuel injection system to meet Euro 3 legislation. Cleaner running than a carburettor engine, the fuel injected engine is also easier to fire up from a cold start and runs more smoothly when cold. The cool retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like carburettors.

Handlebars

Flat drag bars with high risers deliver a more aggressive riding position

Fuel Tank

The Speedmaster’s seamless, teardrop-shaped tank gives plenty of capacity and looks great with its chromed badges.

Brakes

Twin 310mm front discs – gripped by twin-piston calipers lets you haul the Speedmaster up as hard as you want.

Seat

The Speedmaster gunslinger seat supports and ‘cups’ the rider ready to launch at the horizon.
