Yamaha Vmax 20Th Anniversary Edition' title='2005 Yamaha Vmax 20Th Anniversary Edition' />Performance Motorcycle Comparison Triumph Rocket III vs. Yamaha V Max. As Triumph started leaking hints and concept photos of the outrageous new Rocket III a certain feeling of deja vu settled over the hallowed Motorcyclist offices. We recalled the launch and we do mean launch of the amazing Yamaha V Max 2. The V Max was the first real power cruiser, with a monstrous 1. V four motor crammed into a surprisingly nimble, shaft drive chassis. Back then, it was the most outlandishly powerful production motorcycle wed ever seen. After our first rides, we all came back mumbling to ourselves as if wed just crawled out of a plane crash.

Yamaha Vmax 20Th Anniversary Edition' title='2005 Yamaha Vmax 20Th Anniversary Edition' />The V Max created a whole new class of machine motorcycles that were incredibly belligerent and exceedingly fast, but not aimed at any kind of sanctioned racing. It was a street racer, designed and executed not just to transport its rider physically, but emotionally as well. Since then, the Harley Phenomenon made the V twin the Official Engine Of The Cruiser Class though no production V twin of any size has threatened the modern triples or fours. Triumphant Entry. Now, Triumph has rolled out its own power cruiser the Rocket lll. It is the biggest displacement mass production motorcycle ever created. If youre looking for competitive motorcycles, theres only one. The V Max was astounding when it was unveiled. And it has done an astounding thing in the intervening years it has survived, even thrived, essentially unchanged. Yamaha is rolling out a 2. Bad Ass Or Half AssBig is big these days. For better or worse, size has replaced speed as the holy grail of power cruiser design. And size is where the V Max and the Rocket III differ most. At 2. 29. 4cc, the Rocket IIIs inline triple is almost twice as big as the V Maxs comparatively revvy, 1. V four. Can the V Max get anywhere as a pint sized underdogThe Rocket III project began five years ago. At first, Triumph envisioned it at 1. The idea wasnt more power the Triumph Daytonas across the frame triple makes nearly as much horsepower from 9. It was done to give customers especially Americans what we want swaggering, Harley belittling size. Other engine arrangements were considered including an intriguing transverse V six. But the triple delivered the size, presence and power that Triumphs Rocketeers were looking for. It also evoked the old Triumphs heritage, the original Trident and BSA Rocket III. The subsequent engine is pretty conventional a water cooled, DOHC, four valve per cylinder design with the cams pushing the valves via shims and buckets. The 1. 20 degree crank spins one way, while the balance, transmission input and final drive shafts all spin the other, mostly counteracting vibration and torque reaction. Vreveal Premium License Key. In neutral, you can feel the bike try to roll slightly to the right with each throttle blip, but the effect is not nearly as strong as a BMWs. The cylinder bores are close together so forget about boring your Rocket to Saturn V specs. The pistons 1. 01. Dodge Vipers. To keep the prairie fires burning in those wide as South Dakota sized cylinders, two spark plugs are allotted for each. As it grew, the engine started to crowd out other components, and the Rocketeers were forced to cram more stuff into less space. Its a dry sump design, to reduce height and improve cornering clearance. The 3. 9 pound crankshaft is set extremely low in the chassis eight inches above pavement. The 6. 6 gallon gas tank really is the gas tank not an airbox, as per the V Max. The triple inhales through two separate air plenums, a primary beneath the seat and a secondary under the lurid chrome cover on the left side of the fuel tank, delivering atmosphere to the three 5. As usual these days, each throat has two butterflies one controlled by the rider and one by the engine ECU. The result of all that supersizing is 1. But when you twist the throttle in first or second gear, thats not what you get the ECU reduces that output by 7 percent until you get well into third gear. Triumph worries about novice riders being surprised by the Rockets otherwise violent low speed throttle response. This misses the point of having the worlds biggest, torquiest motorcycle in the first place. Regardless, theres an aftermarket opportunity there that will be filled before you can get a Rocket III from zero to 6. Although the Rocket makes more torque than, well, anything, the clutch pull is actually the lightest in the Triumph lineup. The shaft drive, a first for Triumph, is made by Graziano. Rocky Graziano the boxer, you askNope, its the Italian gearbox specialist that also manufactures transmissions for Lamborghini and Aston Martin. For all its carefully conceived bad boy image, the Rocket III is actually a very clean machine. It complies with the 2. Euro 3 Emission Standard, using two catalytic converters in the muffler box just north of the rear tire. Good on em. You dont need to smell bad to be bad. Framing the question. Back in the Reagan Administration, we thought the V Maxs 6. Top Fuel dragsters. But at 6. 6. 7 inches, the Rocket makes Mr. Max seem positively stubby. Reset Paint Tool Sai To Default. With the engine smoothed into civility by inherently perfect primary balance and a tuned balancer shaft, Triumphs rocket scientists just bolted it into a chassis free of rubber mounts. That silver painted brick of a powerplant looks odd out in the breeze with no visible means of support, but its perfectly logical from an engineering standpoint. There arent many things stiffer than a solid block of aluminum, and running frame tubes under the mill would have reduced cornering clearance and raised the center of mass for no good structural reason. Suspension is cruiser modern a 4. Kayaba fork and preload adjustable Kayaba dual shocks at the rear, as God and Edward Turner intended. Brakes are, thankfully, closer to superbike spec 3. When the V Max hit the streets in 8. Yamaha bragged that it carried the biggest tire available on a production motorcycle. That rear tire was a 1. R1. 7 Metzeler front tire on the Rocket. On its rear is a new biggest ever, a 2. R1. 6 Metzeler. In fact, the rear tire is so huge, you get the feeling that you could step off and leave the bike standing there, sans sidestand, like a square tired dragbike. Permission to Come Aboard. Yes, the Rocket is the biggest, but the Rocketmen, to their credit, did everything in their power to keep it from feeling that way. It has the requisite wide, pulled back Roto Tiller handlebar, like all the other 7. The single seat is big and wide as well, like many of its intended inhabitants. And the separate passenger seat clicks in without bolts, pins or pads, making it easy and seamless to go from rugged single dude to doting husband. The Rocket III may be big, but in town its The Big Easy. The engine, for all its mass, is mounted so low in the frame and chassis geometry is so well sorted that the Rocket is surprisingly manageable at low speeds. It makes all kinds of torque right from idle, and the clutch is so smooth and predictable that one feels confident and secure within seconds. The ergonomics are swell. Many cruisers sit you up in the windblast, battling to stay upright, but the Rockets low seat keeps you tucked partially behind the tall tank and the dual instrument cluster. Mcdonald And Giles Rar. The pegs are set forward, but the reach is reasonable, and the handlebar puts your mitts in an agreeable place.
