My Triumph Rocket 3 is 2.3 liter not 3.2. Mine weighs a nominal 750 #. I modified controls, seating and suspension. 3 cylinder engine is fuel injection, electronic engine management with OBD. PRODUCES 146 FOOT POUNDS TORQUE @ 1800 RPM. 150 HP @ 2800 RPM. iNCREDIBLE. I BOUGHT IT IN 2005. Bought my Crossfire in 2006. My Sunbeam Tiger beats both. Gary

a buddy of mine owned a tiger (i had an alpine at the time) and that thing was an animal. i have no doubt that its faster than your n/a. great car, gary. have you modded it? suspension upgrades? btw, no probs with my srt-6s...not that i drive them enough to encounter any.

My Sunbeam Tiger is the rarest in the world. I have kept it stone stock. Never chopped up, stretched or lowered.It still has original 260 with 2 barrel. Of course all this has been rebuilt to OE. It still has original interior with seat suspension rebuild.. I did a repaint in 1986 in Guards Red German lacquer. Maintained that ever since. Still has original wheels and trim rings. Of course I use only Dot5 and Mobil1 The car is rust free due to Waxoyl. The car is quick and a collector. Thanks, Gary

Roadster has had zero problems, other than a window rattle fixed under warranty (and the TPM light is on all the time). The SRT6 had the i/c replaced under warranty and blew out an air temperature sensor under hard acceleration, but otherwise has been fault free. Roadster has 34k miles and SRT6 at 14k. Since I rarely hit the "go" button on the SRT6, even it does not see hard service, although I find myself accelerating harder than I ever would in the roadster. Maybe it's the growl or being pushed back in the seat. And one goes 150 mph (been to 140) and the other 158 (been to 150), so both are fast enough to kill me or have me locked up for a long time. But both are fun to drive, draw gawkers, and are a dream to detail on a warm summer afternoon while enjoying a microbrew and a stogie.

OK, that makes more sense. I've seen 2300cc motorcycle engines, just
never saw a 3200cc, and as you had quoted 3.2 liter I had to ask. Thanks
for the clarification.

Sincerely,

Coyote
