With its longitudinally positioned, 2.3-litre inline-3 engine producing 140 horsepower, even in standard form, the Triumph Rocket 3 is nothing short of a powerhouse.
This one however, has been further enhanced with the fitment of a turbocharger by TTS performance.
Needless to say, this motorcycle boasts some serious performance, but it also delivers as a comfortable cruiser with its upright riding position, wide tyres and low seat.
It goes without saying that this bike has quite a presence.
The sheer scale of the engine and stunning paintwork culminate in a bike that you can’t help but stop and stare at.
The metallic paintwork has clearly been subject to some customisation in the past and is displaying motifs on the fuel tank and mudguards. Flanking the seat, there is also a St Andrew’s Flag / skull and crossbones emblem, which has clearly been created by an accomplished artist.
There are also a couple of aftermarket features including clear indicator lenses and a passenger backrest for rear passengers.
Finished in matching blue, the wheels look to be in excellent shape and the tyres have a good deal of tread remaining. The Rocket 3 wowed critics at the time with the audacious use of a 240mm rear tyre.
This proved successful for Triumph, allowing the bike to put down its power exceptionally well.
3-into-2 aftermarket exhaust fitted by Stuart Young Tuning
2.3-litre, longitudinal inline 3
Turbocharged
Mechanically, this bike features two notable upgrades from standard.
Firstly, the aforementioned turbo has been professionally tuned by TTS Performance and provides a significant performance increase.
Secondly, Triumph’s factory exhaust system has been swapped out for an aftermarket 3-into-2 system, fitted by Stuart Young Tuning.
The vendor informs us that this bike performs most impressively, being both smooth and fast on the road. A recent fork service performed by a local garage has ensured that this bike’s good firm handling will remain firm for years to come.
From the factory these were impressive bikes, but this example has been made even more striking both mechanically and visually.
The standard of work is clearly very impressive, and with its low mileage this bike remains in fine order, ready to thrill both rider and onlookers wherever it goes.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
