Umm... huh?

"Triumph Rocket III RR Design is a new creation 'virtual pen' of Pius after a very particular Cafè Racer Daytona 675. You can see this stunning design in the 'Blog Triumph Ce Passione', a forum for Triumph’s fans." Sounds like a very poor translation of one of Che Passione's famous fantasy/Photoshop exercises, so I'm not going to hold my breath.

Where's it going to get the 200 hp from?

[tbsrider2000]

High compression pistons, more aggressive valve lift and timing, larger fuel injectors and an actual free flowing header to replace the exhaust "log" manifold and a stronger clutch would make 200 HP easily reachable.

The RIII motor is really in a low state of tune as it comes right now. As powerful as it is, there's still alot more horsepower available. Our compression ratio is only 8 to 1, or 8.5 to 1.

What we really need is a different ratios in the transmission. or a higher final drive ratio..

What's the max that Nev has produced? The V-Max is 197 HP at 9000 rpm with a compression ratio of 11.3:1. It's a long way from a stock R3 to that. The Rocket has a much longer stroke than the V-Max (94.3 mm vs 66 mm), which limits its maximum RPM.
