If my memory serves me, weren't the first rumors of the RocketIII on this forum starting in the winter or early spring of 03. I think the original rumor had it at 2500 cc.

Question, at what time has the Triumph rumors got to this point and turned out to be not true?

Vertical twins, true
Rocket, true
Thruxton, true
