It was one great bike. My son has a full dress Harley (Road King or some such). When I first got it, he said it was “ridiculous.” I never could get him to ride it (chicken), but he and all his hardley buddies respected it.

You mean 2300, right? I don’t see you getting 146hp out of 230cc.

Yes; I really fat-fingered that one!

Check out my post again; I’ve been writing on it a bit more (until after 10:30 tonight).

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Mine was a 2012, which, aesthetically; I prefer the looks of, particularly the rear end.

That new gen rear end looks like more of a cafe racer than the beast that a Rocket III Roadster truly is...

That said; I really appreciate you taking the time to find and post the Triumph info!

I had seen one a few years back but I wasn't sure that's what was being discussed here, quite the machine.
