TRIUMPH ROCKET 3 TAKES ON DUCATI AND HARLEY!💪 

Hey thank you for viewing

Yeah that bike is a good skywalkin bike lol

Yeah I thought it was pretty funny but not a lot of people have seen that part of the video obviously LOL

Thank you I appreciate that I know it was a little long-winded but there is just some action I could not cut out of it I already had to cut out footage from a whole day

haha I completely understand...in those cases you should just make multiple videos. One could have been your battle with the boosted harley, and then against the other cars could be one etc. Videos centered around a single topic or event will always do better :)

Plan on it!!

You realize this rocket 3 is making almost twice the hp at the crank compared to stock, right? Swinging nuts about beating harleys in a drag race is like bragging about beating up pre teens as a grown man 😂

Alan Landry Jr thank you!!

Jonathan Hawkins The VTX is a great bike, for many reasons. I enjoyed my '08 and miss it. Next one for me is the Rocket 3.

Thank you!

AHH!! Thank you. Working on next Friday's now!😉

Hahaha

I would love that bike it is coming back together here soon hopefully more content and in a very short time

I laugh when people think that a cruiser type bike is made for racing or that mods are worth anything on these bikes. The Diavel and the Rocket 3 are sport tourers, not cruisers. Above all these, racing only makes sense in a racetrack, not for normal riding.

Thank you sir

I couldn't believe he beat that S1000RR and the mean green.

Smoke 1 yeah it can't beat s100rr but he beat every cusser right there

I lined up to 2 s1000 RR and beat both of them that day

except for the cars.

This one actually makes it a little bit north of that and torque it's actually over $176 ft lb of torque to the rear tire

Hahaha!!!

Love the launch on the strip, looks so violent!!!

Texas Kalboy hey thank you very much I appreciate that

My buddy Jim there with his Harley has gotten much faster he plans on going 9 seconds in the quarter mile. We will see this year

oh damn. what do you think your Rocket will do? I think Carpenter got a 8.99 right?

They did on a stripped-down rocket that made over 265 to the horse quite a bit more power than mine

quite a bit? like what, less than 10 %

evo mine made 236 hp. The carpenter Rocket that went into the 8s makes 265hp at the tire. A considerable difference

It's damn contagious when you spend enough time with someone LOL

Thank you!

I need the edit the video that I actually used it on the street and it works fine if you're not well versed with releasing the clutch properly and adding throttle. The launch control works okay but otherwise I am faster on that bike and actually more consistent without it

It's my favourite track. Hooks pretty good most of the time also.

At the end of the video we go over the times I did not ride the titanium for it would be too difficult to get comfortable on three bikes in one day at the drag strip. But I believe my buddy ended up going 10.26et

Sport mode with traction control off it's very sensitive and it will come right up on you in first and second gear

I have the Carpenter drag exhaust, ram air and power commander 5 and my 2005 Rocket put down 155.5 RWHP on the dyno with the stock clutch slipping. I was going to ship my bike up to Carpenter Racing and buy their 265 RWHP package but I opted for a stage 2 supercharger kit by TTS instead. TTS claims their stage 2 kit will make at least 300 HP to the rear wheel with a stock exhaust. My kit is being installed next week, I'm looking forward to seeing what it puts down on the dyno.

@@bgnorthport I didn't make it to the track, took over 2 months to get my ramair intake. Did put on their sidewinder exhaust, don't want to beat on it to hard until I got to the dyno, hopefully get it in soon since I finally have my intake.

Ha. Thanks!!

5UP u should run 650s loaner fz10 with the duc or triumph....think it would be a good race

The monster? Or Speed Triple?

5UP the rocket III u rode in the vid and your diavel vs his fz10. Just curious how they stack....but i do think fair starts and all that you'll win lol.

Those are completely different bikes that are not in the MT 10 class. We are hopefully going to be doing a Naked Bike shootout with that bike against multiple of my naked bikes if not all of them. Probably the Speed Triple monster R Super Duke R Aprilia Tuono and if I still have it the BMW S1000R

Very nice my xdiavel S will actually be for sale very soon have to make room for new Ducati V4

5UP STEVE is that why U did this video? To sell one of your cruisers? I will buy one if the price is right :)

No. I will do a for sale vid soon. Up to 4 bikes going away.

Just look up Bob carpenter racing on the internet and call and talk to Eric or Bob

5UP Thank you kind sir! Nice video and content on your channel!

Hey thank you!

Hey thank you very much and unfortunately no I am not not on a lot of forms at all.

I bought my R3 in February and just bought a TTS stage 2 supercharger kit that will be installed next week. TTS claims their kit makes 300 horsepower at the wheel with a stock exhaust, my bike already has a Carpenter Racing exhaust installed so it should make more.

Oh yeah we go fast on as much as we can as much as possible LOL

5UP 👍

Hahaha!! I knew someone would catch that LOL

5UP just start flipping it over as soon as he gives it to ya,because he simply does not get it.

Yes it is you need to test drive both of those bikes

Yes tuneboy has unlocked the 14 and later models now to be able to spend to 8000 RPM which is still 1000 RPM shy of what the earlier Rockets could spin with the Flash

Have you ever raced this Carpenter Rocket against a 1700 Vmax with a good rider at the track?

jeff skaarland no i haven't.

Yes

Very cool, I have a little experience drag racing cars, and you simply almost cannot get down a track decently without at least a drag radial.

10.90s I believe.

What accessories are you having trouble finding?

This bike has been out many years and there's actually quite a bit available for it

@@5up614 there are a lot of good accessories available but there are some items that are sort of essential, but discontinued. The passenger backrest pad is sort of a "golden ticket" item...lots of guys looking for one. Tall sissy bar, floorboards, fog light wiring harness, factory matching flyscreen, factory seat variants, oil tank embellishers as well as many other "dress" items and a bunch of other stuff is discontinued from the factory. Those are only some things that I've researched for my model that I've found are discontinued. They were selling the Rocket through 2018, some dealerships still have brand new ones in stock but many accessories have been discontinued. I love the Rocket and I hope to have it for years to come, so I have to plan preemptively for what parts may break down.

Thanks. 10.63 was the quickest pass on X Diavel s

Thanks...been looking for credible qtr times for the XDS

rollen out Melvin not stock my bike is full Carpenter equipped 240 rear wheel horse

Yes i know that Harley didn't stand a chance a stock r3 will eat that Harley up!! I'm looking at 2015 R3 ROADSTER now with 1500 miles on it. What's the name of the site for the kit on your R3 is it just Carpenter Racing,?

rollen out Melvin yes carpenter racing.

5UP Even without the upgrade the Hardley has no chance against a Rocket.
