As if 147 ft.lb isn't enough, the new Rocket has 165! Triumph have released a video of Kevin Carmichael taking it through it's paces.

Nah. I recently dropped a Rocket Touring which weighs a good 40kg more and 2 of us easily picked it up.

Looks good. Shame about the warning at the begining. Not very rock 'n' roll. Laughing

I'd love to take one of those for a spin. I reckon one hefty chap could pick one up, you ain't picking up the whole weight of the thing - just levering it upright.

That's the first time I've seen a video of a heavy motorbike drift almost entirely sideways while spinning the back wheel like that Shocked

Damn.... now I want one!

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?
