Triumph Rocket Iii Roadster
The Triumph Rocket Iii Roadster has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 167 hp and weighs 291 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
La Triumph Rocket III se presentó en 2004 como el motor de producción para motocicletas de mayor cilindrada del mundo con 2.294 cc, un título que mantuvo durante más de una década. En 2020 se llevó a cabo un importante rediseño con la Rocket 3 R (Roadster) y la Rocket 3 GT, que incorporaron un nuevo motor de tres cilindros en línea de 2.458 cc con una potencia significativamente mejorada y un peso reducido. Sigue siendo una pieza clave de ingeniería, ya que combina un enorme par con una maniobrabilidad sorprendentemente capaz para un crucero de su tamaño.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
World's Largest Engine
The Rocket III packs a massive 2,500cc inline-triple engine — the largest displacement production motorcycle engine ever made. This gives it 167 lb-ft of torque, more than many sports cars.
Watch the Final Drive
Earlier models (2004–2019) are known for shaft drive clunking and occasional final drive seal leaks — inspect these carefully on used bikes. The redesigned 2020+ model largely resolved these issues.
Strong Resale Value
The Rocket III holds its value exceptionally well due to its unique status and limited competition in the segment. Well-maintained examples typically retain 70–80% of value after 3 years.

"El motor de producción más grande del mundo exige todo su respeto."
Ese triple de 2294 cc te choca como un tren de carga a 2500 rpm: 221 Nm llegan antes de que te lo pienses pedir, lo que hace que viajar por la ciudad sea genuinamente teatral y que los adelantamientos en autopista sean casi absurdamente fáciles. Utilicé un modelo 2009 con carburador durante dos años y el combustible por debajo de las 3000 rpm era lo suficientemente grumoso como para hacer ruido en las mañanas frías; las posteriores bicicletas con inyección de combustible lo limpiaron considerablemente, aunque nunca perdieron por completo esa brusquedad a bajas revoluciones. Con 320 kg, no es una bicicleta que se deja caer y se coge de forma casual. He visto a un amigo chasquear la muñeca intentando exactamente eso en una gasolinera, y los giros cerrados en U siguen siendo un auténtico ejercicio para la parte superior del cuerpo en todo momento. Lo que hace que vuelvas a repetir es el simple hecho de hacerlo: no hay otro modelo de crucero que suene, se sienta o intimide como un Rocket III con el acelerador abierto en una carretera rural.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The most ridiculous, addictive, impractical motorcycle money can buy used."
$9,000-$18,000 usedThe Rocket III Roadster is genuinely unlike anything else you'll ride. That 2294cc triple is the party piece — 163ft-lb of torque arrives so low in the rev range it feels almost agricultural, but in the best possible way. It pulls hard from walking pace and never stops. First-time riders picking one up used often underestimate how physically demanding it is to maneuver at low speeds. This thing weighs 320kg wet, and parking lot antics will embarrass you until you learn to work with it. Used examples hold value stubbornly, so don't expect bargains. Check the final drive belt obsessively — they're not cheap and owners sometimes neglect them. The older 2006-2012 bikes had some starter motor issues worth investigating. Post-2020 TFC-era bikes are significantly more sophisticated with better electronics and a genuinely improved chassis, worth paying the premium if your budget allows. Maintenance costs bite harder than most bikes at this price point. Dealer servicing isn't cheap and the engine's sheer mass makes DIY work awkward. But nothing else gives you this presence on the road.
