Default Rocket 3

Whilst I like the look of the newer Triumph Rocket 3 I have never looked at one and thought: "This needs more power".

Apparently, someone has though:

Although it can now produce 342 hp (275 ft/lbs torque), it is "detuned" to 300 hp for the street.

I wonder how long the rear tyre lasts.

Waaaayyyy back in the early 80s, I was at the local tyre place waiting to get new rubber on my Suzi X5. Also waiting was a bloke who had a Kawa Z1300. He got a new rear every 1,500 miles
