The Rocket III Touring shares the same incredible 2.3 litre engine platform as the Rocket III, retuned for lazy, effortless cruising, but is otherwise all-new. New frame, wheels, suspension, seat, fuel tank, instruments, lights… all specifically designed, styled and engineered from scratch to match the custom-touring customer’s requirements. Great care has been taken to get the details right, with high class finishes throughout. There are also some ingenious touches such as the quick-detach screen and panniers, both lockable for security.
The Rocket family’s sheer presence has always been a fundamental part of its appeal, but at the heart of the bike is its usability. The Rocket III Touring was designed first and foremost to be ridden and is easy and confidence-inspiring to ride at all speeds, from walking pace up. The suspension is tuned for touring, so its smooth and theoricaly provides nice ride quality, while the narrower wheels help the Rocket III Touring take corners more comfortably and easily. The hand and foot controls feature a fully adjustable heel/toe gear lever, chunky hand levers and teardrop footboards.

These include a range of seats, a selection of backrests, a variety of luggage options and a multitude of chrome parts, all allowing the customer the option to transform their bike to meet their needs. The range of accessories available will also give you a valuable opportunity to up sell from the base model.
The Rocket III Touring will be launched to the global press in Texas early next month, followed by its first public unveiling at the Milan Motorcycle Show, which starts on the 7th November.
The Rocket III Touring is going to cost € 26 990, Full details of this model will come by the end of this month.
