2008 Triumph Rocket III Touring Review

Tuesday December 30, 2008
2008 Triumph Rocket III Touring Review Jason Fogelson knows all about big machines; his daily duties as About.com's SUVs Guide require him to test multi-ton vehicles, day in and day out. So it was only fitting that I call on him to put a few miles on the leviathan 2008 Triumph Rocket III Touring.

Trouble is, a few issues got between him and the open road, and the Rocket III ended up on a flatbed. Twice. What happened, and what did Jason think of the 2.3 liter beast when all was said and done? Find out in his 2008 Triumph Rocket III Touring Review.

$1,000 for two-tone seems a bit steep.

Everything looks good until you see the radiator. I think they buy those from Peterbilt.

Scottie,

Agreed… but given the amount of heat that thing must create, I’d take the pizza box radiator over overheating any day.

I dunno. That’s a mean looking grill. Pure, aggressive, insanity… Love it!
