The '''[[BSA]] Rocket 3''' was a in-line three, [[four-stroke]] Road [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BSA]] between 1968 and 1969. It could reach a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 44.99 ft/lbs (61.0 Nm) @ 6900 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 56.73 HP (42.3 KW) @ 7500 RPM. | |||
==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[air cooled]] in-line three, four-stroke. A 67.0mm [[bore]] x 70.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 740.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead valves (ohv). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 4-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the dry single plate. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 4.10-19 front [[tire]] and a 4.10-19 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake (drum brake) in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The front suspension was a telescopic while the rear was equipped with a swingarm with coil-over shocks. The Rocket 3 was fitted with a 5.02 Gallon (19.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 454.15 pounds (206.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 56.3 inches (1430 mm) long. | |||
