Supporting Member betoney Posted August 2, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted August 2, 2019 Triumph claims 165 hp and 163 pound-feet of torque from the 2020 Rocket 3 R and GT 2020 Rocket 3 “I think people are going to be genuinely surprised about how you can throw this thing around on a twisty road. It handles so much better than people are ever going to expect it to.” 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I wouldn't want one, but I think they've nailed the styling of the grey one on the left. I see quite a few of these from time to time here... 1 Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.

bigorangecntry07 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 My buddy has an older one... crazy big and heavy bike. The motor is bigger than most small cars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincep Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Quite a few Ducati Diavel styling cues in there. I hope it is successful for Triumph - I am sure it will appeal to the bigger is better crowd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!!!I have a video of this bike and the red VMax behind it drag racing but it's 34 MBs so it won't fit here. Oh yeah, Gen2 VMaxes have 196 HP after a re-flash. Not sure of the Torque.

I believe you’re right, @StealthAu. And conveniently enough, we’ve discussed the TFC model here, too... it’s a stunning machine (at least visually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevinator Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) 197hp and 123tq for the 1700cc vmax that will do a rolling burnout at 30mph. rode a demo vmax once, and we were in a 30mph zone when everyone in front started to pull away, so i dropped down to first, let out the clutch and twisted the throttle a bit. i saw the rpms go up to about 9k but i wasnt going any faster. turns out i was doing a rolling burnout at 30mph without even trying to!!! that bike is scary fast in a straight line! the 0-100 is crazy! but, she is also crazy thirsty as well! i think they said on the average 17 mile demo run, they have to put in about 1.5-1.7 gallons of fuel each time! and with a 4 gallon tank, thats not quite going to get me from home to work and back without needing fuel! at least the rocket has a larger fuel tank on it.
