BSA/Triumph Rocket 3 Poster

While the engines shared many parts they were not interchangeable. The Rocket had its cylinders canted forward while the Tridents were vertical.
The Trident had a better racing history than the BSA with Slippery Sam winning the Isle of Man Production TT class 5 years in a row.

You are quite right Ygransom, if you read the link 1970 Mike Hailwood Daytone BSA 750cc Rocket III it does state that the triumph triple engines came home when the bsa version gave up with a burned out piston. In fairness this could be due to many factors including Hailwoods riding.

Here is a link with Hailwoods Rocket3. Admittedly it was during the seventy's & it seems he was brought in especially to race this machine. 1970 Mike Hailwood Daytone BSA 750cc Rocket III

Great link Jack. This will be a great barroom bet winner. Thanks.
