Triumph Rocket 3 streetfighter

Here's a neat variation on the Triumph Rocket 3, kind of a Rocket 3 Streetfighter by Palatina. Triple exhaust tucked undertail, custom rearsets to get your feet properly placed, integrated turn signals, lots of carbon fiber, some with a blue color mixed in to the process ... everything is designed to take the big cruiser and transform it into a big Speed Triple, a REALLY big Speed Triple.

I like the streetfighter look on lots of bikes, some carry it off better than others. The Rocket 3 is a big bike but this is an interesting attempt to make it a bit more sporty.

Thanks to Doug for the tip!

The picture that you have included with this post shows one really tough looking bike that I would love to ride. But when I clicked through to the site, I saw this picture:

That picture is nowhere near as flattering. It looks rough and unfinished to me. Still, though, it looks like a great bike.

Well, like any woman, you should always photo their “good side” and remember that makeup can only do so much…

the sound bite link on the palatina website had minor problems with continuous play the first time through (just keep clicking play…it stopped periodically for me), but after that it played through fine.

Those exhausts sound good over the web.

Singles, Twins, Triples, 4′s, and higher — gotta love the diversity in performance and sound. That triple sounds cool.

I own a Rocket III it is different !
I see 10′s of thousands of v-twins
@ bike shows & daytona bike week etc.
Being it gets alot of comments how ugly there are,
I wonder why its always got a crowd around it asking question
and stating WOW! its beautiful in person.
The streetfighter took imagination and design to the next level.
The weight lose using carbon fiber parts & exhaust under seat
will not only make it way faster but with the ground clearance
by not scraping mufflers it should handle like it was mean too!
Great job Palatina !
Dare to be different I’m tired of all the LOOK a like…………
