First, the Rocket III is a 6cyl 2300cc and it's a heavy beast! LOL

The Triumph came home lastnight and I have to be honest, I'm AMAZED at how well it handles! It feels like a bicycle with an engine and I never knew a motorcycle could feel like that. Of course it has much less power than the roadie, it's also half the weight so it's pretty quick, although I've not been able to open her up yet, I can feel it trying to move out from under me. I like that.

The R* is still being worked on and have no fear, I'm going to finish it!

And the Bonnie would make a nice bobber, but I LOVE cafe racers too, and that's how I'm going to do this one. Little by little of course, I'm tired of modding things right now lol. And as far as the bobber idea, the R* Chopper is gonna kinda fill that niche I think.

G'day RIPBiker13...enjoy that Bonnie mate. I'm going in this morning to sign up for a new Rocket III Touring. Yes 3 cylinders of muscle...a bit less HP than the standard Rocket III and Classic...but loads of torque.

Pic of wife and I checking the seats out on recent test ride. Also check this clip:

I was ready to buy the Bonneville Thruxton last year when my brother sold me his R*. This is a cafe racer!
