only thing you got wrong Mittzy is black being sexier

Black is black not much else it denotes slow versions of the Rockets somewher between a standard/classic and a touring.

Now sexy well many other colors come to mind
but fast and sexy well





That about sums it up

All Rocket III's are Rocket III's,
There are Classics, Touring and Roadsters
Classics are a cruiser big back tyre and higher HP.
Roadsters are similar to the classic but have foot pegs closer to the centre of the bike, ABS brakes, Usually Black and Sexier!!!!!!
Touring have thinner rear tyre generally less HP but have more fruit and extras.

If i have got someting wromg here someone will correct me!!! Please do!!

Almost right. There are Standards (or just R IIIs) as well - which I have. These are the fastest ones, especiually any that aren't black (except the engine), with pegs and flatter bars than the Classic. Both of these have more forward controls/pegs/boards than the Roadster and therefore more of "cruiser" riding position. Roadster has you sitting straight up with legs more or less straight down - lord knows why.

Classic has 2 tone paint. There was also an R III Tourer which has a silver motor (like the older RIIIs) and bags etc - not to be confused with the Touring. I think the Tourer was put together in '07 with all sorts of touring goodies so Triumph could get rid of the left over silver engines when they went to black in the Standard and Classic models.

Roadster has ABS and claimed more power than the Std/Classic but this doesn't seem to be reflected in fact or feedback. Touring has less power than the other models but is perhaps more tractable on a trip - or so the theory goes.
