If you've seen New World Disorder IV and wondered what the hell they were riding.

I thought you meant bikes like this.

The first ever production bike to break the 2-litres barrier, the Rocket III is the ultimate power cruiser.

As alluded to by its name and alone among the cruiser fold the Rocket III is powered by a triple cylinder engine, an engine format that Triumph has very much made its own. Its fuel-injected, longitudinally-mounted, in-line three-cylinder engine has a cubic capacity of 2,294cc – 140 cubic inches – and uses the same size pistons as a ten-cylinder American muscle car.

But the impressive numbers don’t end there as the Rocket III makes more peak torque than two together of almost any other production motorcycle. To be precise, a massive 147ft.lbf torque at 2,500rpm, with 90% delivered at a mere 1,800 rpm.

yeah that was the dodge viper engine in a bike, not truly a bike (it had 4 wheels, just close together) theoretical top speed of something like 300mph.

but cool stuff either way :)

It has 48 cylinders
Uses a 50cc two stroke engine as a starter motor
Weighs over a tonne.
Will empty a tank in under 15mins, on idle.
Yes it is rideable.
Impractical but I love the genius behind the motivation to build a monster like this.
