2006 Rocket III

The largest capacity production motorcycle in the world.  But a bike so balanced it can be ridden with the lightest of touches.

You already know the numbers:  a 2,294cc triple engine; torque, 147ft.lbf at 2,500 rpm; a giant, 240 section rear.

What you don't know is how it feels to push a bike like this through a few twisties.

It's a revelation.  A 2.3 liter bike that corners, that doesn't just go in a straight line.  But then, this is a bike built to ride not just to sit on - an impeccable cruiser with easy handling and a motor so torquey, you're always in the right gear.

And clearly, should you require it, performance is not an issue.
