Nice bike. Wish they'd hire some fecking professionals to shoot their videos though.

As this is (as far as I have been able to establish) the first official showing of the bike and they will have a big spread in the MCN magazine re it, I think the idea is to make ppl interested but not show too much so that we all go and buy the magazine.

No, I understand that, and the arty shooting and stupid angles is all fine. It's the completely appalling sound quality I object to[1], and is one of those things that usually distinguishes the professionals from the rank amateurs (even when it's rank amateurs with a bit of a flair for arty camera angles).

Very nice looking bike though.

[1] As in there's an interview with the builder in there somewhere, and towards the end you can almost hear it.....

And here I was thinking it was all as a result of my poor understanding of the english language

Been trying to follow the development of this one, but strangely not much.

But I found this:

What could possibly be cooler than a Rocket III street fighter?


That is Ace with a capital a

One year on and I can still not find anything more re this one!

But some pics. Look at the disc brake on the shaft not on the wheel!

There's a guy in chCh with a fairly hot Rocket 3. Last I hear it was putting out just shy of 200 hp at the back wheel and 200 ft lbs of torque. I rode the thing down Moorehouse Ave and gave it a big handful - bloody terrifying. Sounds unbelievable too with a 3 into 1 supertrapp exhaust.

I love Rockets, they're just so much fun to ride.

[Lurch]

This a fantastic looking bike, very unique and would make almost any rider green with envy. Shame it probably handles like a truck and bucks about in corners like a rodeo steer.

[blackdog]

oh thats just sick. don't spose it matters much what it handles like, it'll never get ridden anyway........maybe the odd promo drag race

[Skinon]

Hmmm i dont really like it... i do like the side where you cant see the exhausts but im not a fan of the 'fully open wheel' look... I do appreciate the work and i love rocket 3's but gotta say this looks prettty random...
