CRUISER STYLE, ROCKET PERORMANCE
The Rocket III Classic is a real cruising motorcycle
with a firm focus on rider and pillion comfort. It’s
aimed squarely at those who prefer a more laid back
approach to motorcycling and features a relaxed riding
position with forward set footboards, pull-back handlebars
and a supremely comfortable stitched touring seat as
standard.
The incredible levels of flexibility offered by the
2.3 litre engine makes for effortless riding whether
two-up, fully loaded with luggage or solo. Sophisticated
fuel injection feeds in power seamlessly, with controlled
acceleration on tap at the twist of a throttle, while
a maintenance free shaft drive delivers forward motion
to the rear rubber.
Excellent lock-to-lock movement, an incredibly light
clutch and a low centre of gravity make low speed manoeuvring
a dream. The steering geometry and overall length give
a securely planted feel at all speeds. Supple 43mm upside
down forks and twin rear shocks add composure; twin front
disc brakes with four-piston calipers and single disc
rear give incredible stopping power. Generous ground
clearance completes the package and the relaxed, comfortable
ergonomics allow the rider to take full advantage of
the range provided by the 24 litre fuel tank (6.3 gal
US) making the Rocket III Classic the perfect long distance
cruiser.
For 2008, two brand new two-tone paint schemes are available;
Cherry Red/New England White with a gold coach line and
Pacific Blue/Aluminium Silver with a gold coach line.
The black-finished engine with its deep-chromed cam cover
sets off the stunning paint, while the three cone silencer
end finishers add a final flourish to what is a truly
distinctive machine.
