Highlights: – 2294 cc inline-three engine, Triumph Rocket III – 70000 km indicated on odometer – Custom white paintwork with an airbrushed Union Jack design on the tank – Diamond-stitched seat with red contrast stitching – Fitted with a tall windscreen, passenger backrest and luggage rack The private seller offers for sale this 2005 Triumph Rocket III, powered by a 2294 cc inline-three engine. When Triumph introduced the Rocket III in 2004, it caused a stir by placing the largest displacement engine ever fitted to a series production motorcycle in a bike built in Hinckley, England. The longitudinally mounted three-cylinder engine, with shaft final drive, was built around enormous torque rather than outright top speed, and it gave the Rocket III a presence that few other machines could match. This example stands out for its custom appearance. The tank and bodywork are finished in white with an airbrushed Union Jack design, and small flag details return on the front mudguard and the mirrors. The seat is diamond-stitched with red contrast stitching, and the bike carries a tall clear windscreen, a passenger backrest and a chrome luggage rack, alongside plenty of polished chrome around the engine and exhaust. The odometer shows 70000 km. The photos show a motorcycle that has clearly been personalised. With its long wheelbase, wide rear tyre and unmistakable triple-cylinder engine block, the Rocket III remains a distinctive choice for collectors and riders who want something different from the usual cruiser. This is a good opportunity to acquire one in a striking custom livery. Condition of the bodywork & paint 4 — Very Good.
