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.
