2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster: holy shit, 15 percent more torque
 

The 2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster now makes 163 lb/ft of torque -- twice that of an R1 -- 146bhp and becomes a little less of a cruiser and a little more of a streetfighter.

Question is, can you even use all of that torque with that kind of laid-back riding position.

twisted terror of torque Batman....

sexy as shit, but did they fix the soundtrack?

I love this bike.

It still needs a 6th gear though.

It probably weighs twice as much as an R1 as well...ok maybe not but still pretty fat.

I'd like to ride it though.

Is it still the size of a bus?

Holy SHIT!!!

It's love at first sight...I'm calling the Triumph dealer now to arrange a test ride. I'd trade my M109-R for that in a heartbeat.

Sexy V Max alternative!

To compete with the VRod I bet...
