Australian Road Rider — Bike Guide 2017

66 Australian Road Rider Bike Guide

Cruisers

With the world’s biggest production motorcycle engine, the latest Rocket III Roadster builds on the

huge performance of the original Rocket III but now with even more torque. The 2.3L three-cylinder

engine is designed to be an arm-wrenching thrill to ride, yet easy and unintimidating despite its

thunderous roar. Its sweet-handling chassis, rigid frame and sophisticated suspension give you

the confi dence to sweep through corners and change direction with an agility that belies this

Roadster’s size.

Escape from routine at the twist of the throttle. Have the confi dence to ride the roads you want, the way

you want, for as long as you want. And always with a relaxed, elegant, high chrome style that looks good

while you’re doing it. Welcome to the cruise with the Triumph America.
