RE: Triump Road King Clone
I got the link to this from guy I work with, he rides aTriumph Sprint ST. He brought in a sales brochure for the Rocket and what really caught my eye was their claimed 147 ft/lbs of torque at 2,500 rpm. I know it's a 3 cylinder but even if you cut one off, that's still a bunch. I'd like to see one up close and personal but it would never replace my RK. Now, if I hit the lottery with tonight's drawing I could see buying a second motorcycle. And a third..................

I went to Fontana raceway for an AMA race and a local Trump/Duck dealer was there with som bikes to look at and was handing out "free ride" tickets for the Rocket. I had to ride down to the dealer 3 weeks later to ride one and hear the sales pitch. No big it was a nice ride there and back. The Rocket is a "Rocket", nice bike, but I like the Bonnie better.

Looks like Triumph's Rocket 3 is going to get some styling changes. As much as I love my Road King, I sure would love to have the power the Rocket puts out.

And the bags, while a good attempt, are smaller and higher set than you'll get on a HD. I don't get why they don't maximize their use of space with these. This is supposed to be a touring bike.

Don't do anything for me, just another attempt to get into the cruiser market by copying a Harley in my book, and a poor one at that.
If you won't more power put in a 98" kit, or if you have a 96" now go to a 110 with some head mod's, then you'll have some good power.
