Triumph Rocket 3 R Storm: The Biggest Engine, Surprisingly Easy to Ride
I bought this Triumph Rocket 3 R Storm in 2024. It is an excellent power cruiser that you can also take on longer trips.
2,500 cc for effortless overtaking. The roughly 2,500 cc triple and its huge power make it a reliable partner for overtaking. The Rocket 3 has the largest engine of any production motorcycle in the world.
Big, heavy, and still agile. The bike is big and heavy, but it corners brilliantly and is surprisingly easy to handle.
Quiet, and that is not all bad. My only criticism is the sound of the triple and the muted exhaust. But having ridden bikes with loud exhausts, I can say that this makes the Rocket very pleasant on longer rides.

From the Batman Garage Collection
This bike is stored and photographed in the same Dark Knight garage as the cars — not a press fleet, not a dealer floor. The livery here is Korosi Red over Sapphire Black, the Storm specification. The gallery above is this machine; the specification table below is this machine. Nothing on the page is a stock library shot.
It sits at the end of the Cars collection with the other two-wheelers the owner keeps here: the 2001 Ducati 996s, the XDiavel S Custom Lamborghini Pirelli Edition, the 2015 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle and the restored 1957 Vespa. For 5K stills of the same garage, use wallpaper downloads.
