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

So you put plastic and bags on the bike before the manufacturer did?
Well done you...

Um... on the streetfighter, is that a funny shaped exhaust or a sword?

Nope! I was totally sober. And I still think the Rocket III looks good dressed up in all that Italian plastic. Not too sure about those streetfighter versions, though...
