    Fastest quarter mile 2.5L rocket

    well, the 3 bikes I used as an example are bone stock. Proper tires and using the methods guys on this thread are recommending might be enough for you with the map you flashed

    Fastest quarter mile 2.5L rocket

    What you're doing is impressive in its own right! consider these journalists are all skilled riders on bikes much lighter than the R3 with a power to weight much better and these guys can't crack 10.

    Triumph Rocket III Breaks the Eight-Second Barrier The Carpenter Racing Triumph Rocket III “Silverback” has lived up to its billing, breaking the eight-second barrier in the quarter mile – the first ever for a normally-aspirated street cruiser. Rider Marcelo "Alex" Galligani rode the bike to an...

    Trans went

    Have a blast. The 318 in 11 miles is a parking lot when the cameras are out on the weekend so if you want to test your skill on that road it's better to go before and/or after the tents are packed up and put away.

    Trans went

    The patience you guys have!!! It's no wonder i'm a carpenter and my problems are resolved by getting a bigger hammer. My wife thinks we want move to SC from the chicago suburbs, but it sounds like the weather can be a bit of a challenge?

    Fastest quarter mile 2.5L rocket

    I read through and your first posted run with a 127 mph top speed is surprisingly low for that low time. I look down the chart of naked/sport bikes {from memory right now) and top speeds for 10 sec bikes are in the mid 130's and even higher. The R3 just doesn't accelerate on the top end like...

    Carpenter Bikes

    What had me concerned was the gearbox. with my bone stock 06 the tranny sounded like a hammer hitting an anvil going into second gear and the thought of adding more power...well the tranny was a big reason I traded it back to the shop I bought it.

    is this harley faster than rocket 2.5?

    The sas dyno is around 135 hp and 84 ft lbs tops out at 145 mph and I know it's geared taller than the 2300 r3. It's good to know the new R3 is faster being such a monster of an engine. The 1290 in the SDR puts about 30+ hp to the back tire and I doubt any stock r3 would fare as well.

    For Sale 2014 Rocket Roadster $7450

    I love this bike! Your asking price seems fair and I'm local. Since selling mine I can't walk past an R3 without stopping, but the fact is the bike's built for large men and I need a booster seat to reach the controls, still great memories. glwts.

    Are 200bhp nakeds just too much? BMW's M1000R takes on the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S

    Great motors that would probably never get used to their potential on the street. I really wanted to buy the SFv4s, but puny tank range, no cruise control and a motor you have to wind the piss outta sent me back to KTM and a 2022 1290 evo. If I was 6" taller i'd of kept my R3, but the sdr is a...

    Cruise control

    very cheap, very easy. it isn't any better than any of the other throttle locks out there, but it can be installed in minutes. There's several variants of this that use the brake lever for leverage to hold the throttle and I used one for highway riding on my SDR. While\ they use the front brake...

    My R3 had a blown fork seal coat my front brakes and I never noticed!
