All I can say is, I must have one! Can see myself down Pacific Coast Hwy, and over over the canyons. http://www.ultimatemotorcycling.com/2011/exposed-german-triumph-rocket-iii-rs

 Geeeez Steve! You and your "ethnic culinary analogous comments" around here!!! 
I think this is one VERY cool lookin' R3 Roadster!!! 
(...yep, that tailpiece with the three exhaust tips exiting it is trick!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I never noticed the lights in the radiator. I'm guessing they're turn signals, not driving lights.

That looks good. I couldn't find any still pix of that bike, here's another RIII that Palantina dealer did. Pretty impressive work (this one is not so over the top).

dude, they only showed short glimpses on that video for a reason!
They can wrap that thing in all the carbon fiber they want, it'll still just be an engine with some wheels pasted to it.

I like em, but another 29K on top of the cost of the bike not including shipping and handling makes for a pretty expensive bike with very little performance modifications other than a healthy diet. I am sure it would run well though and it looks like it would handle well too, not that a stocker doesn't. I was impressed with the handling of a stocker. I will own a Rocket before I am done!
