Pros Cons of Triumph Rocket 3

Pros

  • Most powerful engine
  • Ample torque
  • Loaded with electronic aids

Cons

  • Heavyweight
  • Expensive
  • Limited service reach

Verdict

The Triumph Rocket 3 is the most powerful motorcycle in production known for its large 2,458 cc three-cylinder engine that makes a massive 165 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 221 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The torque output is also the highest of any production motorcycle in the world. The engine is paired to a six-speed gearbox which is torque assisted. There is a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) which in turn assists cornering ABS, cornering traction control and hill-hold control.

Pros Cons Harley-Davidson Road King

Pros

  • Proper retro cruiser design
  • Comfortable ergonomics
  • Torque-heavy engine is a gem

Cons

  • Heavy in weight
  • Ride quality is a bit stiff
  • Lacks electronic aids

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Road King is a bagger and offers solid road presence, on account of its sheer size. The Road King has been discontinued in India and one may find models in the used two-wheeler segment or through Harley-Davidson owners group but we recommend to stay clear of it. The new H-D Road Glide makes more sense as a full-blown bagger, if you do want to buy one!
