New Rocket III big tourer from Italy.........

Video: Rocket III tourer

Italian firm Extreme Designs has beaten Triumph to the production of a touring version of the Rocket III and we’ve got the first video.
The Rocket III is a pretty big bike as it is but add a massive touring fairing and what you get can easily be described as a behemoth
