When designing a new long distance touring motorcycle, an engine capable of effortlessly devouring the miles is without doubt the best place to start. You could say our designers had an unfair advantage with the unique and highly acclaimed Rocket III 2300cc power plant at their disposal. However the engine, which is specially tuned for low down torque, and the same high specification braking system from the original Rocket III are the only major engineering elements carried over.

Everything else is new.

The Rocket III Touring is purposely designed and built to make it a great Custom Touring motorcycle.
Suspension tuned to achieve high levels of comfort without compromising control, together with 180 mm rear tyre and 16

inch wheels make lighter handling. Wide sumptuous seat for both rider and passenger, footboards front and rear, colour matched waterproof hard cases and shrouded front forks with polished lower castings provide more comfort, practicality and style.

It’s all new from the rider’s point of view too with new tank mounted instruments, a quick detach screen, switchgear and rider controls including a new heel and toe gear shift.

All together it’s a machine that really does have the power to move you, your pillion and whatever you want to take, no matter how far you want to go.
