The new 675R looks nice
Next they need to double the displacement and give us a 1350 would be inline displacement wise with the ZX-14/Busa being sub 1400 cc

I 'm not a fan of the Rocket's look or weight but nice numbers on the modded ones!
Bob Carpenter racing has a link on his site with a mild stock displacement build at
2300cc that is a larger motor than my lil Chevy S-10 has!

YEP CARPENTER did the bikes that I rode and they are impressive and will out run the sports bikes on the highway as they are geared to run 240mph WOW YES the ROCKET engine is 4 VALVES double overhead CAMS and 2 sparkplugs per cylinder and a dry sump oiling system not the usual low tech cruiser motor

I really, really doubt will ever see anywhere near its gearing potential.
Low rpm ceiling, shaft drive, weight not going to surprise sportbikes at the strip or top end venue. I'm sure a roll-on might be interesting though!

NO your wrong about that CARPENTER raised the powerband from the stock of 6k to 9000 rpm and my friends owns a new piped busa and his ROCKET has out run him topend and in the1/4 mile and time and time again SO that was one shocked BUSA owner

What would you like to know about Hinckley Triumphs? A friend is a racer and a factory certified mechanic of the above. I'm on my 4 th Hinckley and I can honestly say thru ownership and observation that these bikes will do 100,000 miles just like a car with regular maintenanice or whatever it's spelled like..LOL! Triumph has expressly mentioned that their bullseye is aimed directly at BMW. So much so that last year when BMW held a press conference to anounce their sales had slipped a fraction of what the Japanese experienced, Triumph called a hastily prepared news conference for the next day proudly announcing how much their sales increased for that year!!
To my way of thinking it's about time the Euros and Brits owned the bike markets again!!

Has some one been on here talking about my Millennium Falcon ????
the new forged billet clutch basket is in and all I have left to do is finish putting the rest of the wiring coils and various stuff I took off to work on the motor!!
Won't be to long now and I will trying some road tuning but they are talking snow tomorrow so hurry up and wait seems to be the name of the game.
I can not wait for the doctors to clear me to have fun again hopefully my rebuilt shoulder (four surgeriessince May of 2010) will hold up to the HP and Torque.

I turn my own wrench and this is the second time I have had this motor apart which means its the second time I have been in a motorcycle engine period. Kind of fun.
