Too Much Fun: Triumph's 2294cc Three-Cylinder Rocket III Motorcycle
|
What's most impressive is the shape of the torque curve at low revs. It comes up quickly to 140 foot-pounds and hangs there for 1500 rpm, or nearly a third of the rev range. This is the range that counts most for street riding, and we applaud Triumph for concentrating the urge in the right place. But the Rocket also makes eye-opening peak power, some 36 more than a Kawasaki Vulcan 2000--mainly on the triple's ability to keep the torque coming to a redline 1500 rpm higher than the V-Twin Vulcan. Good show! (Click image for larger view.) View Related Article
