well I do not know about rocket I but here is the rocketII

I wonder if he knows the girl fell off in the tunnel.

I think it is called a Rocket 3 for the same reason a Harley Davidson is NOT called a R2.
I, for one and I'm sure most here will agree, think "rocket" is a pretty good description.

Laverda managed -- ya but don't you think that is a pretty small rear tire for that amount of power and no wonder it sheared drive shafts.

Truth be known the Rocket I aka the Titan I prototype never made it off the ground. The Rocket II lost too many passengers and the parachute wasn't DOT approved. Now you know the rest of the story...

My mail is that it's revived from the BSA days - not sure why it was called Rocket 3 back then though.

How I remember it, BSA had been using the Rocket name for over 10 years on the 'high performance' A10 range - Road Rocket then Super Rocket. They just used the old Rocket name adding the '3' to signify 3 cylinders - as you say.

The Google will furnish you with a full compliment of these babies...

I think they should make a rocket with a bugatti veyron engine and let us have it for *** all

Here's a photo of a Beesa Rocket 3 on the road at Woodford north of Bisbane a month ago.

Not as 'pretty' as the Hurricanes though... I wouldn't say no to one of the older Rockets. Baxters in Maine had a couple for sale a while ago .. build one out of the two type deal , priced well I thought.
