TRIUMPHRocket III Touring 2012 - 2013

　　In 2012, the Brits released the Triumph Rocket III Touring, a cruising machine in its sixth year of production that debuted in 2007. The Touring model delivered more torque and less power than the standard machine that shared the engine.

　　When it was first released in 2007, the Touring version came with a new frame and swingarm design, more torque, less power, a 16-inch front wheel, tank-mounted instruments, billet aluminum slotted wheels, and narrower tires.

　　In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight, a detachable windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted panniers, a dual exhaust system, and slotted lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　In between the wheels, the 2012 Triumph Rocket III Touring had installed a massive 2,294cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 106 hp with maximum strength at 6,000 rpm and 203 Nm (150 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.

　　A five-speed manual transmission packed with a wet multi-plate clutch handled the bike's power and sent it to the rear wheel through a final shaft drive.

　　The bike was built around a tubular steel twin-spine frame with a 43 mm Kayaba fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and two adjustable side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear with 105 mm wheel travel.

　　In 2011, the Triumph Rocket III Touring was released at an MSRP of $17,000 in a single color and $17,300 in a two-tone color scheme.
