Triumph makes a bike called the Rocket. It looks very bad a$$, but I don’t need that much power. Afraid I’d kill myself.

The comeback of Norton is also good news. My last bike was a ‘72 850.
You might recall Norton was owned by an American for a couple years and an “all new” 961 CC motor with electric start was developed.
This deal fell through and a wealthy Englishman bought the name and rights to the new motor. Nortons are being manufactured at a few every day in the UK.

Rocket 3. I had one, a 2005. It was a lot of fun.

A friend of mine has a Rocket III. OMG. Seems like there is enough power there to push an aircraft carrier. The bike is aptly named.
