2300cc...0-50kmph in 1 sec...hold on.!!!!!!

Rtech · 6th August 2004, 19:33

Check out these specs and try to imagine the beast before looking at the pic!!

Liquid-cooled, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder
2,294cc
Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection
5-speed
240/50 R16
140bhp at 5,750 rpm
147ft.lbf at 2,500 rpm
320kg

tested figures:
0-50kmph: 1 sec
0-100kmph: 2.8 sec
1/4 mile: faster than a "busa!

Crazy?? HELL YEA!! The Triumph Rocket III

Its got the same power as a Yamaha R1, but makes more torque at idle than a ZX10R does at its peak!! (according to ACI). Now I'm not a cruiser fan, but you have to respect a bike that can out-drag a 'Busa in the quarter mile!!

Wowzeee!!!

I am not too much of a bike fan...but this is bloody insane!! Had read about this a few months back.... are they gonna put this into production? I wonder how much this think would cost.
To come to think of it this thing has exactly as much power as my accord!

Jaggu · 6th August 2004, 19:45

looks better than busa atleast

No wonder they named it Rocket .....

shravan316 · 6th August 2004, 21:34

Yeeeeehaaaa......a cruiser with attitude of a racer!!

Can we call this a Muscle bike??
No serious aerodynamics, unlike the 'busa.

dan400 · 7th August 2004, 14:34

I heard of this bike when a friend of mine had seen it at some auto show in the US. Didn't care much when he told me that it would out accelerate the R1 and the Busa.
I was thinking how in the blue hell would a cruiser beat a superbike *

Then i read the article and was in shock.........well since then i'm still in shock

koolsun · 7th August 2004, 14:39

oh wt a babe,the busa beater but hey busa will still be in my good books,wt the heck neways stunning machine frm triumph

aadix · 7th August 2004, 15:53

ctob · 8th August 2004, 21:51

Awe some MANNNNNN!!!!

Hatari · 9th August 2004, 02:32

mean machine !
but in general.. dont like bikes with double headlights.. takes away the charm

Godspeed · 25th August 2004, 16:16

these guys have raised the standard for biking its incredible
it'll probably wheel spin in the first 3 gears.....:angry:

Rehaan · 25th August 2004, 17:11

What amazes me about this bike is the fact that its an inline-3 with a displacement of 2300cc AND it put out top power @5750 (probably redlines at 6000!!) which is quite insane!! Pistons are the same bore (101.6mm) as the dogde viper!

Dodge viper..you wanna see a bike based on dodge viper..I found that bike to be awesome but too bad it would be too expensive to make and I think it will remain a concept..but what a bike..I think it will put nay car/bike to shame..

Dodge Tomahawk baby...viper engine with 4 wheels..

General Information *
0-60 in 2.5 sec
a V10 with 8277cc and transmission 2 speed sequential
500 bhp
300+ mph

source:fast-autos.net

They had talks about producing it as a limited edition, but I think too costly...but I am sure they wouldnt have had problems selling it..

_Crazi4Speed_ · 25th August 2004, 22:15

Hey I just read in forbes that dodge is planning on making replicas of this for sale..1 already sold for $5 5 5,0 0 0 and they can possibly take 9 more...anyone interested
