The Triumph Rocket III is the first-ever production motorcycle to break the 2-liter barrier: its 3-cylinder mill packs 2294cc and is capable to deliver insane torque right off idle, with immense passing power in any gear, at any speed.
 
Rocket III also has a removable pillion seat, and is therefore easy to transform into a beast for solo riding. The 2003 Rocket III sports the front brakes of the Daytona 955i, a superbike created for track-worthy performance. And with a 25-liter tank, touring is also going to be a top-notch experience.
