Shouldn't be Rocket science *drum roll* to make a new exhaust and hook up to the simple/single header outlet..

So it is a muscled up Speed Triple and not a cruiser after all. Well there you have it.

Always good to have the answer(s) from the source...

Still think the crank and rods look awfully thin. They look about the same dimensions as the Street Triple next to them (except crank length and rod height). Good thing we only have 17 PS more than the Street Triple as I don't think the engine internals can handle much more HP! Hope I'm wrong and someone comes up with a way get the HP the new beast deserves, especially after TTS went silent.

In fact that's exactly what the tester said in a YouTube vid (can't remember which, might have been 44Teeth)
"This bike (the Rocket) is like a Speed triple just released from jail where it did a lot of weight lifting"
